Stop Staring Retro Clothing keeps on popping up everywhere on T.V! It seems you can’t flip through channels now a days without spotting one of Stop Staring’s gorgeous Cocktail Dresses. The latest on screen sighting was on Lifetime’s The Client List starring the talented Jennifer Love Hewitt. Jennifer had so much success with the original movie version of The Client List back in 2010 that the network decided to make it into a series. And what Stop Staring item was she wearing in this new hit series you might ask? Well…let us just say that her character, Riley Parks, often has to go light on clothing but she has good style none-the-less. Riley wore the Dottie sun suit in Baby Blue with White Dots on Episode Two, which aired this past April 15th, 2012. That just goes on to show that Stop Staring offers something in every category to match all your needs or wants at the best price points anywhere.

This time around it was Tara Reid’s turn to be spotted wearing the classic Gathered Ava Dress in Red, one of our most popular Cocktail Dresses to date. The American Pie: Reunion star wore the dress to Harry’s Café de Wheels in Sydney, Australia for a photocall that was part of the promotion for the film. The cast seemed to be having a blast visiting the land down under. Their trip was featured in Zimbio.com. Fashionistas that we are here at Stop Staring we could not ignore Miss Reid’s assemble;) She wore the dress well with a pair of neutral heels and simple accessories that made her look positively radiant. It is safe to say the Tara has rocked the Retro Clothing look. The dress itself is now a Stop Staring staple. The Gathered Ava Dress just keeps on garnering celebrities to its ranks.

Stop Staring! and Stussy- Fashion finds Faith!

On September 20, 2011, by EvaPrEst

Stop Staring! girls with Frank Sinatra, owner of everyones favorite streetwear brand, Stussy.

What do fashion labels, Stop Staring! and Stussy have in common?? Well, besides, both being some of the coolest clothing manufacturers in the game, it was, surprisingly enough, our Faith in Jesus Christ, that brought the two together a few weeks ago in Long Beach, CA. We were lucky enough to get word of an amazing Breakfast Seminar being held by Cottonwood Christian Church, that Stussy Owner and CEO, Frank Sinatra, was  going to be  guestspeaking at . We jumped at the opportunity to attended this event, and to this day, this has had to be one of the coolest events I have EVER attended!

Frank Sinatra, for those of you who don’t know, is along with Shawn Stussy, one of the creators and owners of the world famous Stussy Brand. Shawn Stussy being the designer and creative mind of the business and Frank being, the behind the scenes, brilliant, business mastermind.  The brand has been around for over 25 years with Frank now running the entire show. The seminar was a very inspiring and heartfelt story of the ups and downs of this infamous company and how the Bible and Jesus Christ were  the center and driving factor of every business decision made in this giant company. Also, how these ideals are still the core of Frank Sinatra’s business philosophy.

It’s so amazing to see where and how faith can play such a huge part in everyones day to day business operations and how important it is to let God guide your most important business and non-business decisions. This seminar was amazing and , literally, heaven sent!! As huge fans of Stussy since way back in the day, we are so happy to have been part of it . Till next time, ONE WORLD, ONE LOVE!!
