Double Lives
You always hear personal shoppers tell you to buy multiples of an item that you really love. It seems like a smart idea, especially since most of us can recall the tragic moment when our favorite dress/shirt/skirt was retired.
I like this idea, but even more so when I consider buying the same item in two different colors. That way, you get two looks over the long run.
I started to think about this today when I saw these two darling blouses shipping out. I see the black one dressed up with a pencil skirt and bright accessories, while the white one would look playful with navy shorts or sailor pants. Same great blouse, leading double lives.
So adventurous. And the cute rhinestone buttons are a bonus!
Both blouses are shipping to all Crossroads stores next week.*


Shirts are new and by Tramp, $17.50.
*Except for our outlet store in Stockton.

Congrats to our May Winner!
Congratulations to Jazzlyn Liggins, the May winner of our Best Fashion Find contest! She just won a $50 Crossroads gift certificate. Here are her winning photo and comments:

“I always–and I mean that literally– ALWAYS go to Crossroads for my treasures. I have four favorite stores: Santa Monica on 4th St., Melrose Blvd. in Hollywood, Santa Monica Blvd. in West Hollywood and the Costa Mesa store by my home. This find came from the Costa Mesa store. I had a shoot that was scheduled, and I went into the store hoping to find something…anything. I came out with many items, among them this amazing dress AND these crazy awesome shoes. It doesn’t get much better than that. Now not many people would pair the gladiator shoes with this dress, but I like to push the envelope just a little, and at Crossroads’ prices I can do that.”

Pretty in Pink
Q: Which skin tone works best with pink?
A: Repeat to yourself, “Don’t be afraid of pink.” So many people steer clear of it, when in reality, all skin tones can carry it off. The secret is in the shade of pink you select.
“Spring” complexions (creamy white or peach, usually light hair and eyes, freckles) contrast well with a warm shade of pink, similar to the shade in the silk dress below. “Winter” complexions (pale white, yellowish-olive or dark) work best with a bright pink like the cotton tunic shown. “Autumn” complexions (golden undertone) are best suited with shades of pink that also have golden undertones. And “Summer” complexions (pale and pink, usually blondes or brunettes with pale eyes) will glow against a pastel pink.
Figure out which complexion best describes yours and then give pink a try this summer.
You can start with these pieces by Arden B that will arrive in Crossroads stores next week. *

A Candy-Colored Summer
Q: What’s a leopard’s favorite candy?
A: Dots!
I took one look at these candy-colored dresses and had to find you readers a candy joke (No luck with finding any about Starburst by the way). Just looking at these dresses makes me want to buy a big box of Otter Pops and a new beach towel. Don’t they make summer seem that much closer?

Congrats To Our April Winner!
Amy Roiland is the April winner of our Best Fashion Find contest! She has won a $50 Crossroads gift certificate. Here is her winning photo and comments:


“I found the best find ever at Crossroads in Studio City, CA. For months I had been eyeing Rachel Bilson’s adorable dress and I couldn’t find it anywhere. One day, I was at wonderful Crossroads and I found it! In my size! I flipped out; it was only $12! It was my lucky day. This dress is fabulous. I wear it all the time and I get tons of compliments while wearing it. Super adorable!
Here is a picture of me wearing it with my fave Australian designer, Kelsey Jonathan’s, heels and my fave sunglasses by Chanel (My Chanel 5018 sunnies–Very rare!)”
