For the "Destination" Groom

Every man looks great in a tuxedo, but certain wedding locations call for a look that’s a little more laidback. Destination weddings continue to grow in popularity, and many couples plan their ceremonies to suit the location. If your ideal reception is a fiesta in Mexico or a clambake in Nantucket, then a crisp linen pant or classic boat shoes will keep the groom comfortable without sacrificing style.

Choose a tailored, pastel button up or brilliantly-hued camp shirt to set the tone for the rest of the bridal party. Seashell printed ties are a fun choice, but iridescent cuff links are subtle reminder of the ocean depths and are better suited to a more formal affair.

Whether a groom opts for classic oxfords or a contemporary linen jacket, a destination wedding is the ideal venue for unique colors, fabrics, patterns, and accessories that showcase his personal style.

The party was held at a breathtaking private estate in Thermal, California-- conveniently located within walking distance from the Empire Polo Field, making it the perfect destination for music-obsessed fans to escape the hot and dusty crowds.  Music-loving tastemakers and influencers were invited to make a splash in the pool, enjoy a cocktail, treat themselves to a mani-pedi or dance in the desert sun.  DJs rocked the dance floor with Samsung’s superior performance Giga Sound System.  

Guests also got to do a little shopping at their high-tech LACOSTE L!VE Pop-Up shop where they received a sweet 40% off discount along with an exclusive shopping experience and a special gift.

Zappos’ 1st Children’s Earth Day Art Contest

Happy Earth Day, friends! Zappos will be celebrating Earth Day this Wednesday by hosting our second annual Earth Day Event at our Henderson campus. In preparation for the event, we asked Zappos parents to enter their kids into our first Children’s Art Contest with a theme of, “How I care for the planet.”

We really want to highlight and recognize these kids for doing such an amazing job! Our kids are so important to us and are the reasons why we’re trying to leave the planet a better place, so that they can enjoy it the way we did. They are also the ones who will most likely solve many of the planet’s environmental challenges. After receiving the art entries, it was awesome to see how much our kids know about the planet and how to care for it! Show of hands: Did your child teach you and your family how to recycle?! Yep, ours too!

We’re so proud of all the kiddos that participated!! Below are the winners of the first Children’s Art Contest - Earth Day 2013. Each winner received a fabulous eco-friendly gift basket to help them continue to care for the planet.
