Read MoreShoppers Experience “Luxury Shame”
What: What’s the real reason why so many shoppers are refusing to shell out thousands of luxury handbags or expensive jewelry these days? It turns out it has nothing to do with the recession or even money for that matter. Instead, retail experts say an increasing number of people are suffering from “shoppers’ guilt”—the same feeling someone gets when they buy an expensive item and feel remorse over the hefty price. As a way to fight back, some clothing brands are giving shoppers a “reason” to splurge, like donating a percentage of the price of goods to charity or offering ...

Read MoreConsumers Get Happy for the Holidays
What: Start getting psyched, because the stage is being set for 2009 to be an exciting holiday season — for retailers, at least. A new survey released this week shows that Americans are “optimistic” about the economy right now, which could lead to a robust shopping season in the coming months. Although the survey found that many consumers are still planning to spend less on gifts this year than in the past, they are actually planning to spend more on “nongift items” like entertainment, clothing for themselves, and furnishings for the home.
What Reuters Says:
“This is certainly good ...
Designer Denim Drops in Price
What: Say goodbye to $300 pairs of “premium” jeans. Denim designers now say that jeans had become overpriced before the recession began last year, which is why shoppers began shying away from ultra-expensive brands like Dior, True Religion, and Ksubi. Now, those same brands have begun lowering pricing to reflect what consumers are actually willing to spend. According to retail experts, that “sweet spot,” in terms of pricing, is now closer to $200 a pair for most designer brands.
What the New York Times Says:
“Before the recession, premium denim was one of the fastest growing categories ...

Thank Mom For Your Wrinkles
What: A group of plastic surgeons recently banded together to study the effects of aging on ten mother/daughter pairs. Specifically, they wanted to find out if wrinkles, fine lines, crow’s feet, etc, were caused more by genetics or the environment. Turns out, we are all going to age just like your mother (at least when it comes to your face, particularly your eyes and eye lids). This is certainly not surprising news, but when you’re constantly bombarded with anti-aging products, it’s an easy enough fact to forget.
