This week on the homepage, we’re featuring four Zappos employees (including yours truly!) wearing our favorite dresses for different spring occasions.

We were asked a couple of fun questions about our favorite things for spring…dresses included!

“This dress is perfect for ________ because…”

Natasha: It’s perfect for a dinner date because the print would camouflage the tomato sauce stains!

Hannah:  I can totally see this dress at a garden party because it’s so lady-like; it reminds me of a tea party in a flower garden!

Alison:  I would wear this to a BBQ because it’s the perfect lightweight dress for a hot summer day.

Joanne: This cute maxi is perfect for the beach or pool because it’s bright, lightweight and easy to throw on over a bathing suit.

My favorite spring trend is:

Natasha:  Nudes paired with a pop of neon!

Hannah: I am obsessed with stripes, so I’d have to say nautical.

Alison: I love colorblocking! It’s fabulous to see all the great color combinations.

Joanne: Florals and bright colors against neutrals.

To showcase our talented and creative stylist team, we’ve decided to do a weekly Stylist Spotlight. This week’s stylist is Maggie M. Check out her cool take on weekend style with these two ensembles she hand-picked just for Stylist Spotlight!

We asked Maggie a couple of questions to get to know more about her and her personal style:

What do you do at Zappos?

M: I specialize mostly in our athletic and outdoor apparel categories. My daily focus is to coordinate outfits and create the ultimate visual experience for our customers.

What are a couple of fun facts about yourself? 

M: I really enjoy spending time in my studio sewing, screen printing, and exploring various forms of fiber art. I play the bass guitar and have been an avid homebrewer for the past 2 years. Running is another passion of mine as I have recently started training for a half marathon.

Describe your personal style:

M: Depending on my mood or the event, my style tends to sway between Hipster and Boho. A couple of my fashion icons are  Karen O and Sienna Miller.

What was your last Zappos purchase, or what is your dream purchase?:

M: The last purchase I made was the Minnetonka Kilty Suede Moccasins in brown suede.

What are your top 4 favorite brands at Zappos.com?

M: Free People, RVCA, Vans and Alternative Apparel.

The Super Awesome Description award is a way of recognizing a member of the Zappos Development content team once a month. If a product description is particularly witty or creative, anyone in the company can nominate the person who wrote it.  The nominations are then read by other members of the content department and voted upon; the description with the most votes wins. The writer of that description is rewarded with a trophy and a certificate, not to mention recognition from their peers.

The winner for November is Jennie W. Jennie is part of the athletic performance team and her clever description for the Quiksilver Daddy Day Bag was a force to be reckoned with. Congratulations Jennie!

We asked Jennie a few fun questions to get to know her better. Check out her answers below!

What inspired you when writing this description?

I used my many, many, many experiences trying to pack a bag when leaving the house with my now two-year-old. You really do pack your hopes and dreams into that bag. Along with the butt cream and binky.

What is your favorite Zappos core value?

Deliver WOW through service! Service is a privilege; the world would be a happier place if more people thought that way.

What's a fact people would be surprised to learn about you?

Most people are usually surprised to find out I married my high school sweetheart. I’m kind of surprised by it myself. Because if you would have told me when I was sixteen that I would marry him one day, I would have told you to lay off the pipe.

Fun facts about Jennie:

My favorite food is pretty much anything I can eat in a bowl with a spoon.

We have a 1:1 DVR-to-person ratio in our house. We take TV that seriously.

Books are my best friends.

I am older than the Internet.
