Zappos $50,000 T-Shirt

Shoe seller Zappos.com has come up with a unique stunt to prove the popularity of their store. They are selling a $50,000 limited edition "Cease and Desist" t-shirt which comes with a guarantee by Zappos to permanently disable a significant other`s Zappos.com account for life. The "Cease and Desist" t-shirt will be personally hand-delivered by a member of the Zappos Customer Loyalty Team. The listing promises that the rep will also be a shoulder to cry on for up to one hour for your spouse and will "be happy to frolic in a field of daisies with you or do anything that is mutually agreed upon to not be morally or ethically objectionable."

The shirt isn't much of a permanent deterrent. The first disclaimer says that Zappos is not responsible if your significant other creates another account using a different email address. But you can get your money back if you are permanently divorced or separated within 365 days.

Alexander McQueen's Take on Western, Handbag of the Day

by Lisa Palladino (RSS feed) —

Filed under: Handbags

I've mentioned Zappos Luxe Life before. Now and then I browse the store to see what's new in the Couture section, and recently I found a bag that I really like for fall. Usually Alexander McQueen is too way out for me, but I think this Western-inspired patent bag is great for the days when you break out the jeans and boots but want a nice bag to polish the look. The burgundy and gold bag is made of of patent leather. It's 14" wide across the bottom, 9.5" wide across the top, 5.5" deep and 10" high, enough room for wallet, keys, sunglasses, lipstick and personal technology. The handle drop is 5". Other features: a front exterior slip pocket, platform bottom, top zip closure and a luxurious interior lining with a back wall zip pocket and multifunctional slip pockets. Comes with a protective dust bag. $2,569; free shipping and returns from Zappos.

Converse Chucks and Purcells With a Varvatos Touch

by Lisa Palladino (RSS feed) —

Filed under: Shoes, Men's Style

Selectism recently highlighted the Spring/Summer '08 Collection of John Varvatos amped-up Converse Chuck Taylors and Purcell Vantages. Apparently styles are veering away just a bit from the popular laceless Chucks, although they're not gone, with a return to the more traditional laced Chucks. Varvatos also styled hi-tops and added the Purcells.

This collection features shoe-like sneakers (you won't be playing basketball in these) made from a mix of leather and canvas. Hi-tops are lined in a material that resembles mattress ticking, but with better colors.

Try as I might, I could not find these on the Varvatos site, but Zappos sells a few dozen of what might be last season's styles for between $95 - $145. Converse also featured about the same number of styles, although, again, not from this collection. These ranged from $110 - $145.

Looks like you need to find a Varvatos store to be so very this season.

Thanks, David, for this tip.

The Luxe Life at Zappos

Filed under: Shoes

As a longtime Zappos fan, I love the free shipping and returns, ease of ordering and fantastic selection. I knew Zappos carried high-end items, but just discovered its Luxe Life branch. Here you can find couture shoes (natch), jewelry, apparel and bags for women and men, as well as kids' shoes.

Let's do a quick search, shall we? Criteria: women's shoes, size 8, medium width, any heel height, any price, black. The results? More than 530 styles that range from a high of $1,114 for Cesare Paciotti t-strap pump made of haircalf and accented with a crystal vamp ornament to a low of $79 for an adidas by Stella McCartney slide with a rubber sole.

A quick search on boys' sandals (no criteria) brought up 13 styles that range from a $224 Armani Junior sandal with straps for infants (!) and toddlers to a low of $56 for a D&G Junior slide for toddlers.

You can browse by designer, too, that is, if you haven't fainted from sticker shock or spent your whole month's apparel budget on sandals for your children.
