All Bedazzled Out with Skinny by Jessica Elliot

"I wanted the double ring to be edgy yet feminine. It's the anti-brass knuckle"
-Jessica Elliot, designer of Skinny

Tired of the ho-hum, hum-drum, blah stuff some designers are calling jewelry? JEWELRY: let’s have a look at the word, shall we? Let’s break it down... JEWEL: “ANY PERSON OR THING THAT IS VERY PRECIOUS OR VALUABLE” Kay, that’s an easy one. That’s you. And that should be your jewelry!!

ACCESSORIES: let’s break that down…

ACCESS: “THE RIGHT TO ENTER” Skinny’s simple solution—How do you get in? Besides being on the list, you get in with Keys! What goes with keys? Key chains, chain links—minus ball and chain & yeah, who doesn’t want the “right to enter”. And when you do enter, be sure to look good-- wear your accessories....

SOIREES: “A PARTY OR GATHERING IN THE EVENING” Killer! With skinny, you’re IN! (OMG, that was soooo easy.)

So…what does all this dictionary word breakdown mean? It means YOU can rock SKINNY by JESSICA ELLIOT too! Skinny by Jessica Elliot has taken the fashion world by storm.


Growing up, Jessica wanted to be a Hollywood actress, but little did she know that fashion forward celebrities such as Kate Hudson, Jessica Alba, Christina Ricci, Hilary Swank, Katherine Heigl, Lindsay Lohan, Avril Lavigne, Hayden Panettiere, Ashlee Simpson, and many more would be sporting her jewelry pieces and the best department stores would be showcasing her designs. Jessica has truly become a star in her own right. You can too!! Sport this Hollywood fav and look fab!




Get yours in Gold/Montana,
Gold/Silver,
Gold/Smokey quartz,
Nickle/Black Diamond,
Nickle/Silver
GOOD LUCK GIRLS (and b.f.’s that are smart enough to remember girls love jewelry & access-soiree’s)!


LIVE SKINNY, LOVE SKINNY YOU CAN NEVER BE TOO RICH…OR TOO SKINNY. Know where that line is from?? Tweet us @lovemoderne and let us know!

Moderne Loves Foot Petals: Walk happy!

"After years of working in the fashion industry and endless hours of walking in painful shoes, I knew there had to be a better way.My goal was to create a pretty solution to this ugly problem. With extensive research, design, and engineering, I created Foot Petals, the original designer shoe cushions.”
-Tina Aldatz, Founder of Foot Petals


Thank god for Tina! We here at ShopModerne-LOVE Foot Petals. Who said beauty had to equal pain? The next time you where those killer heels, don’t plan for a post-day foot massage, because with Foot Petals, you won’t need it! Foot Petals makes some beyond amazingly comfortable, feet in a cloud feeling type of shoe insoles and cushions.

Our absolute fav is their Sexy Soles product. This unique customizable insole helps relieve stressed out soles and provide ultimate comfort for the entire foot- especially great in flats and boots.

These ultra-slim, full length customizable insoles are equipped with unique virtual arch support and an invisible edge that conforms to both your shoe and foot.

Sexy Soles are made of PORON - the same high performance urethane Foot Petals products are known for. Our open cell, breathable material allows air to escape while cushioning feet, keeping soles sweat-free, and dry in all weather climates. Less sweat in shoes means more stability, and less moisture & bacteria - especially when strolling in sky-high boots. So keep on strollin' Sistah! One customizable size to fit fabulously! It's no wonder gals like Audrina Patridge, Snookie, Stephanie Pratt, and Paris Hilton are rocking this insoles!


So don’t opt for flats when you can go sky high in comfy heels with Foot Petals!

First Look at Moderne’s New Line: FLuXus

FLuXuS, from a Latin etymological root meaning flow, describes a movement with origins in futurist performance that blurs the lines between all artistic genres. Influenced by the work of John Cage and Marcel Duchamp, the Fluxus group, which includes Yoko Ono, Beck and Ben, shifted the emphasis from what an artist makes to the artist’s personality, actions and opinions. Blending and connecting all aspects of art and life, intermingling different philosophies and cultures This is what FLuXuS represents. There is life, there is art and in between is fashion.

Funk Top in Grey. Cool & Casual with loose fit.


Bat Top in Lipstick. Add a little POP to your wardbrobe!


Butterfly top in Espresso. Comfy & Sexy-what a combo!

It is no wonder that Project Runway season three winner, Jeffrey Sebelia, is the head designer of this amazing line. In 2003, before he was announced the winner of the Emrmy-nominated Bravo series, Sebelia created his own label, Cosa Nostra, for which he was honored as a GENart New Guard Designer in 2004. Since then, Sebelia has taken FLuXus from a t-shirt line to an entire collection! Jeffery’s signature rock’n’ roll edgy aesthetic combined with FLuXus’ art-driven philosophy, has redefined traditional fabrics & silhouettes. “Jeffrey’s vision is both versatile and unique, putting a twist on the classics to give them a cool update while maintaining the everyday functionality Fluxus is known for,” says Fashion News.

Help Save a Life

The need for aid in Pakistan is rapidly growing – more than 20 million people have been affected by the severe flooding -- a number greater than the total affected by the 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami, the 2005 northern Pakistan earthquake and the 2010 Haiti earthquake, COMBINED. The flooding, which began July 27, has killed an estimated 1,600 people, damaged or destroyed more than 1.2 million households and left 800,000 people reachable only by air. The disaster is only growing with more rains on the way and increasing risk of water-borne disease and dehydration.




See this short video about the devastation in Pakistan.


To raise awareness and support for these families, Moderne will donate 15% of sales to the relief effort. Funds raised will support Unicef in providing clean water, food, shelter, sanitation, emergency health and child services to flood-affected families in Pakistan. We welcome any additional donations.



Remember to use the code: FloodRelief. Moderne customers will recieve 10% off their orders!! Help save lives while saving money!
