Intervention With Harrison Hudson

IMG00567

Today was an interesting day here at the Clothing Xchange with Robert Plant popping in and

our beloved Harry stopping in to share his obsession.

I have decided to let the cat out of the bag.

He’s actually a man’s man.

We were shocked to find out that our some-time staffer and graphic guru Harrison is really a closet football fanatic.

He is actaully yelling at me right now as I post this blog.

“There is nothing closet about it. I am not ashamed!”

Sounds to me like an intervention needs to happen here.

See evidence below:

Here is an example of how Harry has created a secret code language for all of his football forecasting.

UPDATE: He just interjected.

“ Go ahead and let them know that I was 11 for 13 this week not including Monday night’s game. Patriots vs. New Orleans.”

Doesn’t he sound like he has a slight problem?

He pulled out these sheets of cryptic paper from the hat on his head.

Not normal.

Look above.

Really?

These are the type of people that hang around here.

Greeeeeeeeeat.

 

Lucky Pup Now At Clothing Xchange!

 

I have been harassing my dear friend Kristin-owner of Lucky Pup to hand over some goods for a long time. We have had a great response by our customers when we introduced pet goodies several months back and wanted to have only the best products to offer.

She FINALLY gave in!

We will have in a collection of Lucky Pup’s best selections for a limited time only.

Chico and the rest of the crew here are THRILLED to introduce this collection of premiere dog beds, carriers, toys, bowls, leashes, collars, apparel and more.

Did we mention that most items will have a savings of 50-60% off  manufacturer’s retail prices?!?!?!

Check out our doggy wonderland!

These cable knit sweaters retail for $48 elsewhere but we are able to offer them to you and your pooch for $24!

Our head of security Chico is shown here modeling the cable knit sweater. Look at the attention to detail with the pattern and buttons. Ladies beware. He’s on the prowl.

We have already SOLD OUT of the “I Keep A Close Watch On This Heart Of Mine” Johnny Cash pistol tee but have in another box of goodies as of yesterday!

Designer Shana Gibson of Modern Cowgirl rushed out the  “I Ride My Own White Horse” tee and comfy Modern Cowgirl lounge pants that will make the perfect gift for any cowgirl.

 

$38 – Only 5 available in stock!

One of my faves! This studded bangle set is available in black and chocolate at only $25!

Silver flower ring makes the perfect non commitment impact for $25.

 

There are a ton of jewelry option to choose from right now from this line that includes bracelets, bangles, earrings, necklaces, and not one item is over $36!

We all flip through OK! and try to deny it but here is little snapshot of Kellie Pickler sporting her MC. Some other lovely lasses that have been seen showing some Modern Cowgirl love include Nashville’s very own Carrie Underwood and Taylor Swift!

Party In The CX Today

Today was just another day here at the Clothing Xchange but we didn’t realize that it was Miley Cyrus’s birthday today.

Chico and Evan snapped a pic with the birthday girl while she and a friend shopping around and snapped up a tee from the Brooklyn based GMT line.

Notice how Chico can completely keep his composure menawhile Evan …..NOT SO MUCH.

We think that they both have minor crushes on Miley maybe?

Good times.

Silly Bandz Are Back!

 

We SOLD OUT of our initial shipment of Silly Bandz and have just received our 2nd today!

Amy, Misty and I were just discussing how we don’t quite understand why EVERYONE is getting so wound  up about these but then we remembered a few of the hits from our heyday…….

 

 

 

So. Basically.

Sorry.

Enjoy the Silly Bandz kiddos.

Make your parents buy a crate of each kind.

If they resist, tell them that they are depriving you of your childhood and that you are going to call Oprah.

Hey Hey We’re The Monkees!

We were totally surprised and elated to notice that our favorite Monkee Davy Jones popped into the shop today.

He was just as adorable as ever and he loved all of the Vintage goods and picked up a pair cowboy boots while he was in town foe the CMA awards.

Misty about fainted because she is such a massive fan of the fun foursome and turned a bright shade of pink. Sorry Misty….I had to share.

I remember watching their television show when I was a little girl as well. Who didn’t love the Monkees, right?!

We were thrilled that Davy was nice as can be and didn’t disappoint his fans.

Mr.. Jones even gave us a few copies of his newest album named “She”.

Be sure to check out his website and purchase our favorite Monkee!

Newest Yumi London Shipment Arrived!

Who doesn’t love a kooky little “Cat Lady” dress?

We SOLD OUT of the short sleeved version earlier in the year and expect the same with this adorable little number.

We only ordered 8 of these kitties and at just $65, we know that they will find homes soon!

 

The “Silpa” pom pom tunic has been spotted on Britain’s trendy elite and you can keep cozy in it for $88.

We re-ordered the “Camille” dress again because we are still astonished that a dress with this much luxe detail retails for $65?!

We SOLD OUT in just a few days last time.

I already snatched one of these “Mini Heart” coats myself because I know that I will live in mine for the next several months.

Why wear a hoodie?

This little coat feels like you are wearing one but you still look put together ? Duh.

$90 and worth every penny.

Here is the mate to my favorite new little coat. Tada! Meet the “Mini Heart” dress.

We only received one because it was sold out from production!

Size small available for $85.
