Pittsburgh Fashion Week!

New York ... Milan ... Paris .... Pittsburgh. What do these three cities have in common? If you answered, a Fashion Week (!), then you are right on target my friends. This week, Pittsburghers are proving they're just as stylish as their counterparts in the so-called Fashion Capitols with the city's first ever Fashion Week. The festivities kicked off last night with the RUNWAY: Clearing for Takeoff -- Destination, Fashion Oz! runway show in the Southside Works. Featuring five local boutiques, including The Planet Pulse, we were honored to be a part of the event.

We also got the blessings of a queen ... two of them in fact. Besides the models in the runway show, The Planet Pulse showcased some of its stylish products on Gina Cerilli, the reigning -- and gorgeous -- Miss Pennsylvania and her counterpart, Elena La Quatra, the equally stunning Miss Teen Pennsylvania.

Upon deciding what to dress the girls in, The Planet Pulse decided to go with military-style ensembles, which is one of the hottest looks for fall. Gina is rocking a pair of khaki Houlihans from celeb-favorite J-Brand Jeans while Elena looks like "da bomb" in a black military-style jacket with gold detailing from Juicy Couture.

We were so proud to be a part of the 'burgh's Fashion Week and prove that our city is not all about mullets and Steeler jerseys --- at least not most of the time -- and there is much more to come. Pittsburgh Fashion Week is taking place all week with more events around the city. To learn more, visit the Pittsburgh Fashion Week website at http://pittsburghfashionweek.com/

Of course, The Planet Pulse is available 52 weeks out of the year for your fashion fix. To find out what's really in style this season, give us a visit today!

Who are you today?

Don't our mannequins look hip yet mysterious clad in their Planet Pulse finery and bejeweled masks? Kudos to Doug Anderson, The Planet Pulse staffer who came up with the concept and created our masquerade-themed window display for Halloween. Classy, yes?

Speaking of mysterious, the upcoming Halloween season got me thinking about how we costume ourselves -- not just on Oct. 31 -- but all year long with our ever-evolving wardrobes. On any given day, you can be a hippie chick, a diva, a punk or a biker babe. It's amazing how your clothes define you.

For myself, some days I feel like a glamour girl and pull out some high, high heels and a fancy top (courtesy of The Planet Pulse of course) and on others I just throw on a pair of trusty True Religions (also from the store), a military-inspired ball cap and a pair of flats for the tomboy effect. Each outfit affects my mood and demeanor for the day ... Such is the power of clothes. The fun part is that with fashion, you don't have to choose just one persona.

This is where The Planet Pulse can help you. We have so much in inventory and such a diverse selection that it is easy -- with the help of our staff -- to create a new image. So next time you venture into our Planet, don't just think of it as a clothing store, think of it as a new world of opportunity!

P.S. The photo I took of the display doesn't do it justice. Stop in for yourself and be sure to congratulate our Dougee on his hard work!
