Chitter Chatter

From summer midriffs to parody Twitter feeds, here's what we're buzzing about this week

F156730522

Understand: Just how much skin is okay to show with this summer midriff guide. (No rock-solid abs required.)

Get Excited: Rebel Wilson is getting her own ABC show, Super Fun Night, this fall. We already have our popcorn ready.

Know: We can totally laugh at ourselves. This parody Twitter account just gained one more follower.

Check Out: Duane Reade’s window displays next time you’re in NYC. Our main squeeze Simon Doonan will be lending his creative eye (usually reserved for Barneys’ fab displays) to design them.

Android Devotees, Rejoice – Our App Has Gone Big Time

5 reasons you're going to want it in your shopping arsenal

Rue's Android App

Android users, you’ve spoken. And the powers that be here at Rue heard you. We’ve rolled out our brand new, fully-loaded app – just in time to shop from your beach towel.

Here’s why we think you’ll really like it:

  1. We streamlined navigation, so you can jump between categories easier and faster. Ideal for when you’re grabbing something for yourself, your significant other, and your digs all at once.
  2. We linked up with Google Wallet to make checking out as painless as possible. With all of your credit card info safely stored (where no one will find it), you’re out of there in fewer clicks than ever before.
  3. See items you’re lusting after up close and personal with our beautiful high-res images.
  4. It’s also easier to select your size. (Thanks for letting us know that this one needed a little fixing.)
  5. Overall, the performance just runs smoother. We addressed all the bugs you so graciously called out. Something tells us you won’t miss them one bit.

 
Our new app is compatible with devices running on Android 2.2 (Froyo) or newer.

Simply stop by Google Play to download or upgrade.

5 Style Bytes You May Have Missed

‪@CarrotsNCake: I just ate my lunch, but I think I have room for ‪@pinkberry.
We could eat seven lunches and still have room for Pinkberry.

‪@ninadobrev: Wheels up..heading to humidity. I’m sweating just thinking about it!
Why does humidity have to ruin summer every. single. year?

‪@shannonwoodward: I wanna give a big what up to the gentle elderly gentleman who high 5′d me at JFK today while I sprinted like a cheetah to make my flight.
We’d love to have cheerleaders for our morning mad dash to the train.

‪@alexa_chung: My face just Elephant Manned after a walk in Central Park went horribly wrong.
Pollen: one of the only things that can make a walk in the park into no walk in the park.

‪@WholeFoods: You only need four things to make bacon: pork belly, cure (salt, sugar, time), smoke… AND this helpful article! ‪http://bit.ly/167Zdmb
This weekend’s project? Sunday brunch.

Behind the Scenes: Our Mother’s Day Login

Unknown

The fact that our Members’ moms have style is practically a given. So, in honor of Mother’s Day, we gave you a chance to prove it and be featured on our login page – and we received an outpouring of photos and aphorisms on our Facebook and Twitter. With them, we compiled (drumroll, please)… today’s login. We couldn’t include every picture in the interest of space, but some of the others will get their due fame on our Twitter feed. Happy Mother’s Day! #MomStyle

It’s a Blogger’s World (We Just Live in It)

Our top 4 picks of the week

 
bloggers

1. j’adore couture
We’ll be taking our early-morning (and late-morning, and early-afternoon…) coffee with a hefty dose of pretty stacked rings now, thankyouverymuch.

2. Fashion Chalet
When a girl can pull off riding pants, neon, and a sequinny clutch – while walking around in the woods – we like her. Instantly.

3. allie wears
Reason to add more stripes and caged sandals to our arsenal immediately. (As if we needed one.)

4. seersucker + saddles
Summer preppy. Slightly glam. If drinking lemonade on the front porch of a Nantucket beach house were a blog, this would be it.
