GIRL'S NIGHT OUT Top & Spa Party

2012-03-02T16:46:00.001-08:00

How long has it been since you have treated yourself and done something FUN?

Maybe it's time to let Revelation TOPS

pamper you and your friends.

The evening starts with a glass of wine and refreshments. The group is kept small so we can enjoy and relax. While the others are browsing, each guest receives 25% off a top, you will be invited to experience your first of several spa treatments. We don't want to give the suprises away, but we promise you will be amazed at how soft your hands will feel as you experience a relaxing back massage.

And this is just the start of the evening!

Once everyone has had their first treatment we will sit and relax and enjoy the latest in premiere spa and anti-aging skincare. Treatments vary and may include the busy woman's facial, the fountain of youth, fabulous feet, cooling lip mask, relaxation therapy, and more!

See the "TOP PARTY" tab on our website to sign up. If you would like to book a private party for you and 4-5 of your friends you will receive a heated gel neck wrap and special gift. Call us to set up a date. You will be so glad you did!

A New Twist For St. PATTY'S DAY

2012-02-24T16:20:00.000-08:00

These new tops are perfect for the wearing of the green and throughout the year.

A new way to wear clovers.

The New Bling 2012

2012-01-10T14:48:00.000-08:00

Tops for 2012 continue to be long with new versions, new screens, new soft fabrics, and a touch of bling.

Hem lines continue to be fun like this new top that is cut longer on the sides.

The French Fleur de Lis symbol is very "in" this year.

Ombre colors, chains, feathers, and bling look great with our new metal gray leggings.

Pink and Gray are this year's fashion colors as seen in this medallion tunic....Most of the tops shown here are only $39.98 and made in the USA. It's time to see all the NEW TOPS at Revelation.

What They Are Wearing

2011-08-25T13:00:00.000-07:00

We recently attended a round of ready to wear and gift/ home decor trade shows. This is where we see all of the fashion "insiders", designers, store owners, and buyers. By paying attention to what they are wearing we get a clear picture of where fashion is headed. We thought you would enjoy seeing our findings.

The whole trend of long tops over leggings and jeggings is going big time into Fall & Holiday 2011.

The sharkbite hem top is the top to have. It's called sharkbite because the hems at the sides are shaped like a shark's teeth. This look is very flattering for woman of all ages and body types.

We are also seeing lots of short, choppy hairstyles. If you have long hair, the new look is to wear it straight and chop the sides around the face to chin length.

Shoes continue to be very exciting from flats to high platforms and all kinds of constructed shoes with chunky heels. All look great with slim leg bottoms.

2 pc. and layered tunics are a new offering this season.

Most tunics are flowy and good at hiding things. Those that want to show off their figure can wear something a little tighter. The moral of the story is tall or short, young or old, slim or chunky, there's a tunic top for everybody.

Now Here's What We Are Wearing...

Here is Carole wearing one of our best selling tops, the lace drape tunic. It is so flattering on and the purple color brightens up just about everyone's complexion.

Here I am in an art showroom wearing one of my favorite tops. It's cool, it's layered, and it comes with a flower pin that I can wear on other things. When the weather changes I can layer one of our seamless tees underneath.

We hope you have enjoyed reading this blog and that it has inspired you to try a little something new. At Revelation Tops we don't chase the trends, we adapt them, to bring the "real woman" up to date.

Our Latest Buying Trip & Trends

2011-07-20T15:38:00.000-07:00

Carole and I have no problem spending money when it comes to buying new tops. We enjoy finding new vendors that you don't find in the chain stores. To keep our energy up we take advantage of some of the perks in the marketplace such as Cappuccino and French Pastries.

Some of the showrooms have models to welcome you.

We are always watching what the industry insiders are wearing. Lots going on with the guys this time. Saw lots of skinny jeans, trendy tennies, fedoras, fitted woven shirts worn outside, and ties.

Fedora Hats are showing up everywhere for both men & women.

An "eat while you work" showroom lunch.

Buyers REALLY appreciate this!

You never know what you might run into on the streets of L.A.

This demonstration took place outside the Fashion Mart. Glad we weren't wearing leather that day.

Great people watching in the Mart lobby while enjoying an orange scone from Urth Cafe.

This market Vita Coco was sampling their Coconut Water.

You know you have arrived at L.A. Fashion Headquarters when you see this guy!

Hong Kong Chop Suey...one of our favorite "off the beaten' path" downtown lunches.

It's always nice to work with designers who are friends.

Shopping Fun With Mary & Carole

2011-03-22T13:40:00.000-07:00

Carole and I love to shop for the store. This trip started with beautifully displayed cupcakes. Imagine this display with all kinds of cute cupcakes there for the taking!

It's always nice when we can eat lunch in a showroom and keep working.

This day we enjoyed a Mexican fiesta.

Here Carole is having fun pretending she's a mannequin. We ordered this top too! Hope to see you soon. Spring has sprung with a whole new crop of TOPS!

Come Along With Mary & Carole On A FUN Buying Trip!

2010-10-21T16:12:00.000-07:00

Carole and I have many sources on both coasts to watch the future of fashion. Our job is being able to interpret it for YOU. One of the fun things we get to do is attend private, Buyer's fashion shows.

Don't worry, you won't be seeing short shorts at Revelation.

While shopping, we had the pleasure of getting the latest hair styles from OLIVER IFERGAN ATELIER in Beverly Hills. Both stylists Emilie and friend are from Paris. They used razors and texture scissors. Chop, chop, chop!

Check out Carole's new layers!

We enjoy the food perks on these trips. This quick, but healthy box lunch was for buyers on the go. The mandarin soda was delicious!

What a treat! This showroom had lunch delivered from the NEW MOON, Downtown L.A.. It's one of our faves in Montrose too!

LOVE the sweets!

Hope you enjoyed this blog! Come visit soon! LOTS of the latest tops for upcoming holiday & Christmas parties are arriving now, and you know around here they go fast.

Lunch at TIARA CAFE, Los Angeles

2010-08-14T11:11:00.000-07:00

On a recent shopping trip for the store we found so many good TOPS for the upcoming holiday season that we had to take a break. We decided to try Tiara Cafe, in the midst of all the ready to wear buildings.

We love the decor with ombre walls and gem colors.

Where else can you get place mats with showroom ads?

A cool glass of cucumber water was a nice visual and very refreshing.

We started with an Italian chopped salad. Delicious!

Had to order a Pizette, one of their specialties. It reminded us of the East Coast style with an ultra thin crust. So good!

On our way out the door we ran into a photo shoot. SO L.A.!
New tops are arriving daily. It's a new season! You can check them out at revelationtops.com

JEGGINGS...The New "Must Have" Pant

2010-07-24T11:51:00.000-07:00

This photo does not do this item justice. You'll have to trust us when we say YOU WILL WANT THESE..Jeggings are a combo of a jean and a legging. Ours are so lightweight, comfy, and flattering. The fit is fabulous. They have a mid rise which our customers like. NO low risers for us! At only $59.98 a pair you will want both black and denim.

Fashion Show At The L.A. Mart

2010-06-15T19:33:00.000-07:00

Today we enjoyed FRONT ROW SEATS at a great fashion show!

We each received Focus bags filled with goodies!

The paparazzi were there doing their thing.

Seeing lots of LONG tops over leggings. The models are tall & thin but all shapes look good in the long tops. They are loose and very forgiving.

Lots of draped fabrics and hoods.

HAREM PANTS are really in this year!

Look at all the LAYERS!

New Shapes

Short dresses can be worn with or without leggings. Check out the shoes!

She stole the show!
