We’re printing holiday party posters over here and can’t believe it’s that time of year already! It’s time to start thinking about those holiday party dresses and their festive accompanying accessories.

Here are some of our ideas for staying warm in those holiday dresses. We’ve just shipped an assortment of coats from Plastic Island, Egoist and McGinn.

They’re arriving in San Francisco Bay Area stores today and in the rest of our stores next week.*

Jackpot!

Our corporate buyers recently purchased an AMAZING assortment of new merchandise  that includes many designer favorites.  This past week the shipment arrived and the warehouse was abuzz with collective “oohs” and “ahhs.”  This assortment of items is large and includes many different pieces, but we have to show you a sample of the deals to be had.

This new merchandise started arriving in our West Coast stores* yesterday and will start arriving in our Chicago stores next week.

Pretty Things

Every October, Crossroads holds a management camp in the heart of Sonoma wine country. All store managers travel in to spend three days discussing upcoming trends and outlining ways to better assist our customers. On top of that, we eat lots of fabulous food and enjoy guilty pleasures like Confessions of a Shopaholic.

So what happens when you bring together a group of fashion-savvy retail store managers? Lots of great style. I anticipate I might see some of these fashionable twists on camping wear.

Congrats to our September Winner!

Congratulations to Franko Valencia, the September winner of our Best Fashion Find contest!  He just won a $50 Crossroads gift certificate.  Here are his winning photos and comments:

September 2009 Winner

I found the sweet saggy beanie that can be seen in the left photo. I also found the skinny jeans (Bulldog) that I’m wearing in the right photo. The beanie and jeans went very well together;  I was very satisfied when I found them.  I always find something to buy at Crossroads–I’m planning on going this weekend! Thanks, Crossroads!

Men’s Fall Basics

These men’s basics have different inspirations, but definitely make a match! The striped sweaters are from the popular skate label, Innes.

These perfectly matching sneakers from Macbeth are music-inspired, and much of the shipment is their award-winning vegan style: the Eliot.  The photos below represent the men’s shipment, but women’s shoes will also be included.

Something for Everyone

The latest new merchandise shipment to our stores has something for everyone!  For those who favor a classic fall look,  this Gap cable knit sweater has your name on it.  Invest in a few different colors and match with one of the assorted pairs of women’s Levi’s that will arrive with them, priced at only $22.50.

If your look is trendy, then this floral print dress will hit the mark.  One of our buyers pointed out that this dress would pair perfectly with the riding boots we sent out last week.  I couldn’t agree more.

Finally, if your style is more fanciful, this feather-print tee is the choice for you.   I love the look of the purple feathers on black, but it comes in purple, teal and burgundy too.

Along for the Ride

It was designer Laura Bennett from Season 3 of Project Runway who brought riding boots to my attention.  I have admittedly been addicted ever since, something that is no secret to my co-workers who see me in boots, leggings and dresses year round.

When our corporate buyers returned from the fashion shows in Las Vegas, they let me know that an order of riding boots was on the way.  And after much anticipation, they arrived yesterday afternoon in all of their black and caramel glory! These will undoubtedly make many dresses “countryside chic” and are a steal at $28.50.

Boots by Bamboo, $28.50

Compare these with much pricier boots from retailers like Ralph Lauren, Steve Madden and Urban Outfitters:

They start arriving in all Crossroads stores* next week and come in solid black too.  Let the long autumn strolls begin!

Congrats to our August Winner!

Congratulations to Sarah Moore–She is our August Best Fashion Find winner.  Sarah has just won a $50 Crossroads gift certificate!

Here are her winning photos and comments:

Aug 2009 Winner

“Crossroads is more than my go-to for fashion; it is my get away, eco conscious, need to look good for a special occasion, retail therapy, reward for a hard day’s work, and let’s hang out and thrift store. I got this dress under the “special occasion” category. For my 18th birthday, I decided to spend the day doing things I couldn’t until I turned 18, one of them selling some of my still-good clothing I was ready to let go of. In exchange, I found this sweet little dress for only $8.50. It was the perfect dress for the occasion, but it is also so much more. It is one of those great dresses that can be worn as cute-casual, but can also easily be dressed up for important occasions. And a dress with pockets, who doesn’t love that?”
