My Juicy Collection: "Glamorous Juicy Couture" Pink Shortsleeve Tee

Another t-shirt in my Juicy Couture collection is this very cute pink shirt with a Juicy crest complete with a Scottie and a crown. The design says "Glamorous Juicy Couture" on it, and is covered in beautiful pink crystals. I would guess this shirt is from about three years ago.

My Juicy Collection: "Couture Lovin' Juicy" Longsleeve Tee

Here are photos of one of my older Juicy Couture shirts in my collection. I would guess this shirt is from three or four years ago, though I'm not exactly sure. It is a black longsleeve tee, with the words "Couture Lovin' Juicy" in white and a shiny silver heart shaped peace sign on it. The shirt is quite small and doesn't really fit me any more, otherwise I would still be wearing it today!

Juicy "Dream Armoire" Part of Nordstrom's Ultimate Gift Collection

Nordstrom unveiled its "Ultimate Gift Collection" today. From Market Watch:

Nordstrom, Inc. announced today that the retailer is debuting the Nordstrom Ultimate Gift Collection online, a quartet of exclusive one-of-a kind gift packages created by some of the hottest names in the worlds of art and fashion including fashion designer Tory Burch, casual chic brand Juicy Couture, celebrity photographer Sam Jones and artist Ruben Toledo.

"Value and special items are two primary factors driving retail purchases today. As we all know, value has been top of mind for many customers in this climate. The other thing driving purchasing is when customers find items that are special and unique -- items they won't find anywhere else," said Nordstrom Full-Line Store President of Merchandising Pete Nordstrom. "We are offering our customers very special, limited edition, one-of-a-kind gifts from some of our best partners. For the right customer, these may be the perfect gift."

My Juicy Collection: Plush Scottie

Another addition to my Juicy Couture collection is this adorable plush Scottie dog! The plush dog is made by Gund and is wearing a Juicy Couture t-shirt! There are several versions of this toy out there. Currently Juicy Couture is selling the "I Love Juicy" version and the "Choose New York" version. It is the same dog, just different t-shirts. The toy may also be referred to as a Yorkie, but I like to think it is a Scottie since that is Juicy Couture's "mascot."

Front view.  The sleeve reads, "Love G&P"

Side view.

Rear view.  The back of the t-shirt has the Juicy Couture logo screen printed on it over and over in the shape  of a heart.

Pam Heads to San Francisco for Gallery Opening

Pamela Skaist-Levy appeared at a gallery opening of the works of painter Stephen Sumner. The party was held at the Serge Sorroko Gallery in San Francisco.  An article on the San Francisco Chronicle's style blog, SF Unzipped, details the event and Pam's appearance:

Pamela Skaist-Levy, co-founder of Juicy Couture, flew up from Los Angeles with her husband, Jeff, just for the show. Good thing, too -- she snapped up two of the paintings, which ranged from $3,000 to $7,00 a piece"I'm honored to have them in my collection,'' she said. "I'll put them in my home."

What does one wear to a gallery show? In her case, just a little frock: a vintage copper-bronze flapper dress from the 1920s, Indian bracelets, a J. Mendel fur capelet and a vintage headband with ostrich plume.

Juicy Couture Mentioned on Financial Times

A Thanksgiving themed article on the Financial Times mentions Pam, Gela, and Juicy Couture. Here is an excerpt from the article:

Certainly, at their recent 5th Avenue store opening, Gela Nash-Taylor and Pamela Skaist-Levy, the Juicy Couture girls/creative directors, were giving thanks, using a big party where the Harlem Boys Choir sang "Bohemian Rhapsody" and "Smells Like Teen Spirit" in Juicy pink robes to "give back to the city and customers who give us so much", according to Nash-Taylor. (Literally "give": Juicy is currently a $600m company, and their chief executive thinks they can reach $2bn in five or so years, economy notwithstanding.)

"When things are bad you have to have fun!" said Nash-Taylor, pre-event. "Our Juicy family" - all 600 or so of them who showed up at the opening - "deserves it!"

After the party, Skaist-Levy and Nash-Taylor were heading back to Los Angeles, to their respective Thanksgivings in their respective "Georgian colonial" and "English manor" homes, where they would preside over tables in their respective "Martha Stewart-tastic" and "Georgiana, Duchess of Devonshire" looks, the latter involving "long feathers in my hair," which is not normal Thanksgiving-wear (unless you were one of the original native Americans at the Plymouth feast) - but it is very Juicy.

Juicy Celebrity: Robin Williams

I expected to start the Juicy Celebrities category with someone much younger, but when I spotted this photo of Robin Williams sporting Juicy Couture on New York Magazine's website, I couldn't resist.  The comedian is wearing the Juicy men's t-shirt that reads "Give 2 Receive."  NYMag did not comment on the slightly surprising clothing choice, but I spotted it right away (that's what happens when you spend hours on end looking at Juicy Couture clothes online)! I then did a quick Google search: "Robin Williams Juicy Couture." Imagine my further surprise to find this article on BuzzFoto about Robin Williams' trip to the Juicy Couture store on Bleecker Street this Monday! The author of the article speculates that the Juicy Couture shopping bag contains a gift for Robin's daughter, but I suspect it is really for him (especially since the bag says Dirty English on it, which is the name of the men's line)! I never would have guessed that Robin Williams was a Juicy Couture fan, but that just goes to show that the brand appeals to wide range of people!

My Juicy Wishlist: Cowboy Boot Charm

Image source: Juicy Couture.

I have had my eye on this charm ever since I first spotted it on the Juicy Couture website. It is a New York exclusive, so currently it is only available at the four stores in Manhattan. However, it is available for pre-order on the website. I think it would look great paired with my horseshoe charm! It retails for $52.

My Juicy Collection: Horseshoe Charm

Another charm in my collection is the classic horseshoe charm. It is 14K gold plated brass with cubic zirconia stones and faux turquoise. It is also available in silver.


The front of the charm contains cubic zirconinia stones.

The bottom of the charm says, "Juicy Couture."

The backside of the charm has faux turquoise stones.

My Juicy Wishlist: Juicy Vegas T-shirt

Image source: Saks Fifth Avenue.

I absolutely love this new Juicy Couture t-shirt that reads "JUICY VEGAS" in dazzling sequins. The sequins give it a splash of typical Las Vegas sparkle, but the color is more natural, like the desert that surrounds the city. A nice combination for a great t-shirt! And you don't have to fly to Vegas to get it! It is available on Saks Fifth Avenue's website here. It retails for $98.

Update: This t-shirt is available exclusively at Saks Fifth Avenue.

Shopping at the Juicy Couture Store

There are tons of great things that make shopping at a Juicy Couture store much more fun than shopping at a regular department store. When you purchase something at the store, you get to take it home in an adorable shopping bag! The bag is pink with a brown bow on one side that reads "Love G&P" and on the other side, "Choose Juicy." 



The receipt for your purchase comes in a miniature folder that reads, "The Juicy Damage."



Also included (for purchases made in New York) is a miniature map of Manhattan, the size of a credit card, with the four Juicy Couture stores located on it.

My Juicy Collection: French Poodle Charm

I thought I'd begin sharing my Juicy Couture collection with a charm I purchased recently. It is the very cute french poodle charm! I'm not sure what year this charm is from, though I would guess 2007. I bought it on sale at Loehmann's, which is a great place to buy Juicy Couture items at a discount!

The Wall Street Journal Offers a Look Inside the New Juicy Couture Store

Here is another peek at the new Juicy Couture store's opening party, this time courtesy of The Wall Street Journal. The article and accompanying video use the expression "Recession? What recession?" to describe the party, and yet the reporter can't seem to talk about anything but the economy's woes. Pam and Gela seem much more optimistic, which I think is a vital attitude to have during tough times. Some times we just need to lighten up and have some fun, which is what I think the party was about, not some snobby dismissal of economic hardship like the WSJ seems to suggest. Juicy Couture is a brand all about having fun and being full of life. When the going gets tough, even the tough need some Juicy! Click here to read the article.

650 Fifth Avenue


The newest Juicy Couture store in Manhattan opened at 650 5th Avenue about a month ago. The store is two levels of Juicy Goodness! The main level contains jewelry, perfume, accessories, intimates, the Mens department, and pet accessories. At the far right of store is a huge staircase that leads to the second level. The second level contains the shoe department, the Womens department, the Couture Couture department, Childrens department, tracksuit bar, and sale section. I absolutely love the way the store is decorated! A giant crystal chandelier hangs above the staircase, and on the wall is a huge tapestry made to look like one in a medieval castle, except of course it says Juicy Couture on it! There are also many animal heads (I'm not sure if they're real or not) hanging on the walls, wearing pearl necklaces and lipstick! A bit bizarre, but very cool nonetheless. I absolutely love the new store, it has the most Juicy Couture stuff I've ever seen in one place! Whether you are a New Yorker or visiting Manhattan as a tourist, this is a must see! I hope you enjoy my photographs of the store. The exterior shots were taken on October 5, before the store was actually open. The interior shots were taken on November 8, when Pam and Gela made a person appearance at the store!
