Neons: Whether you go bold with a statement piece or just a pop accent, neons are a must this spring/summer! The easiest way to add in a dose of bright color is through accessories. Try a fun neon clutch or cocktail ring to give your look a stylish focal point.

Prom:  With prom season upon us, we couldn’t pass up all the amazing evening dresses we currently have on the site! We’re particularly loving color dresses and one-shoulder silhouettes for prom this year. Don’t forget that we have an entire Prom Shop so you can find the perfect head-to-toe outfit for the big night!

Stripes: Not just in the nautical realm, stripes are a perennial favorite that’s easy to wear with anything. Try a casual striped tee on the weekends or throw on a blazer over a striped V-neck for a cool look.

As you may know, the Zappos Family is going to be moving our headquarters to downtown Las Vegas in a couple of years. We’re so excited about the growing community downtown; we thought what better place to do a fun photo shoot than our own backyard?

For this shoot, we went to a couple of cool spots downtown, including the Hogs n’ Heffers bar, Downtown Cocktail Room, Triple George, and the Ogden. We thought it would be fun  to show another side of Vegas off the Strip!

We had lots of fun during the shoot, and we're so excited to show a side of Las Vegas that some people may not even know exists. Keep an eye out for these photos on our Shop By pages and homepage soon!
