In addition, the center has introduced cell phone charging stations to enhance the experience for guests.

Providing shoppers with an abundance of accessories, Coach recently opened in its new location, with a larger 6,027 square-foot space, next to Easy Spirit. The luxury-style boutique offers premium items for men and women including accessories, bags, shoes and more, all at an affordable price. Shoppers can expect to find stylish accents for every look.

“Coach’s new location is simply amazing,” said Patricia Cahall, general manager of Queenstown Premium Outlets. “The new store is beautiful and much larger than its original location. The new build-out combines warm textures—beautiful flooring and carpets—with high-end digital screens and other technology. The in-store ambience truly reflects the quality and attention-to-detail represented in their product line.”

Additionally, as an added convenience to shoppers, the center now boasts new cell phone charging stations, further enhancing the superior guest experience at the outlet center. The charging stations, located near Yankee Candle and Kitchen Collection, are a free service and can hold up to 13 devices using a combination of USB cords and standard electric plugs. Guests are invited enjoy nearby seating while their devices reboot, as well as free Wi-Fi provided by many of the center’s retailers once they’re recharged.

Cahall noted, “Our goal is to continuously offer new amenities and experiences for our shoppers.” Cahall mentioned her team continually observes guests using their smart phones to register for their VIP Shopper Club, check-in to specific stores for deals, post photos of their shopping excursion, and stay in touch with friends and family. “These charging stations are just another way we can help our guests feel comfortable and make their shopping experience more efficient,” Cahall added.

Fashion Tips with Dryel At-Home Dry Cleaner

Dry cleaning your wardrobe can be costly!  We love to wear cashmere sweaters, wool coats, and boucle’ slacks but the care for such garments are expensive.  One can purchase these items on sale but must calculate the price of dry cleaning in their shopping budget.

As a Style Expert, I always share that fashion girls (and guys) must properly care for their clothing to maintain a stylish wardrobe.  It’s more than dressing fabulous and owning several pieces.  In this day and time, we have to take our budget into consideration and be realistic about our clothing expenses.

Truthfully, I also like to mix and match my own clothing.  It’s a personal preference for several good reasons. Number one, I am obsessed with closet organization. Number two, I like to come up with various ways that I can style one item. Number three, I’m a mom and my shopping list consists of additional household products.

Michael Kors Dress | Escada Coat | SJP Collection Shoes

Lupita Nyongo wore this look as a guest on The Today Show.  The actress was seen wearing (tone-on-tone) various shades of purple and pink.

I love the flirtatious design of this dress with a plunging neckline, fishtail bottom, and cut-out just above the waist.  Lupita’s hair was also in a pompadour…very stylish!
