A First Glimpse at Bebe’s PH8
What: Back in July, Bebe announced plans to scrap its Bebe Sport stores across the country and replace them with a new “retail concept” called PH8. Now the company has released the first images of its new “sporty-chic” collection—including shoes, bags, jewelry, and clothes. Although PH8 stores still aren’t expected to open nationwide until November, curious customers can start checking out pieces from the new line in select Bebe stores beginning in September.
What They Say:
“Think featherweight, monotone backpacks with substantial hardware; drapey, sequin-encrusted sweatshirts; and bib necklaces that look handmade.”
What We Say: We’ll admit it, the new looks leave us pleasantly surprised. The ubiquitous logos Bebe has become known for seem to be gone entirely, and a couple of the pieces really look like they could transition from the gym to the nightclub. Color us surprised. But more important, what do you think?
Bebe Sandal, Sothy’s Delicious Scrub, Marc by Marc Jacobs Colors for Spring, J Crew Belt and More
FabSugar finds an affordable alternative to the swoon-worthy Stella McCartney Mesh Sandal (approximately $600) for just $139 - the Bebe Lizzy Mesh Sandal. Not quite the same, but close enough, and far more wallet friendly.
Lemondrop has a delightful new obsession; the Sothy’s Delicious Scrub, a yummy wonder-scrub that revitalizes winter skin and even replaces shaving cream. Little bit pricey though; $44.
Omiru finds an affordable, adorable detail for any wardrobe; the J Crew floral bouquet sash belt, for $35, a sophisticated and versatile accessory.
High vs. Low: Bandage Dress
The bandage dress gained popularity in the late 1980s as designer Herve Leger debuted the curve-hugging look. Celebrities and supermodels were pictured wearing these stunning numbers that gave them a coveted hour-glass silhouette. The style experienced a resurgence in 2007 when designer Christopher Kane launched his line of bandage dresses with flirty details like lace trim and plastic seatbelt-style belts. Pretty soon the red carpet was flooded with stars like Lindsay Lohan and Victoria Beckham rocking the classic Herve Leger look currently designed by Max Azria. We think these gorgeous finds in lavender are perfect for the remainder of summer. So, which is which?
On the bottom: Bebe’s one-shoulder gradient banded dress, $98, available at bebe.com. Up top: Herve Leger by Max Azria asymmetrical bandage dress in lavender, $2,000, available at herveleger.com.
