Welcome to CUSP.

Welcome to CUSP. Or rather, Blog on the CUSP. It’s a place where you’ll find everything you need to know about what’s happening at CUSP, a new boutique — or as we like to see it, a fashion experience — soon in your neighborhood.

This blog will give you the CUSP girls’ perspective, courtesy of our store managers and employees, who are on the front lines of fashion and shopping trends. They can see a handbag obsession occurring the minute stock arrives in the warehouse. But wait — there’s way more! We’ll have highlights on the newest looks, interviews with up-and-coming designers and we’ll sprinkle in some stuff about music, movies, parties, gossip and anything else that relates to contemporary fashion. We invite feedback (comment below!), questions and, of course, would love to see you in person at the CUSP stores.

For media inquiries, please contact davika_thompson@cusp.com

    Speaking about stock arriving. Hot off the truck: We got a great Giuseppe Zanotti boot in today. This style is an EXCLUSIVE FOR CUSP and dead sexy.

    Is the Century City store still opening on August 10? (I hope so!)

  4. Rebekah Says:

    Hello~
    I’m not really sure if this is the right place to be posting this question but I was in your store the other day and I thought it was FABULOUS! I love intermix in Georgetown but this store I thought was bigger and better :) As I was wandering around I thought it would be a perfect place for my friend. I’m sure you guys get these contacts all the time from people who are just dying to work with Cusp but I cannot stop raving about your store. And once I find something I like, I tell everyone about it… all the time :) Please post your response at your earliest convenience; my work email is attached to this reply in case you want to leave me some contact information. I would come and work for you guys if I had the background but unfortunately… I’m an auditor, that is how excited I am about your store and what you guys are doing!

  5. Ainslie Says:

    Right now it looks like Century City will open on August 23 or 24.

    greetings Cusp gals and welcome to LA,

    when you have a minute I’d love to have you submit your blog to our newish blog directory, Delightfulblogs.com. I think the gals who use the directory to find new blogs to read will dig discovering yours.

    best,
    Lynda
    P.S. thanks for the link to Delight!

    Just bought a fantastic, classic black Diane von Furstenberg dress from Century City. The sales gals, especially Jodie, were top notch! Beautiful store, too. Look forward to shopping again soon!

    Yay! You linked to us! We must be doing something right :) As a DC expat to New York I appreciate all you’re doing to bring a little bit of style down south.

    Speaking of which, as the hottest new fashion site on the block, would blog on the cusp be interested in joining the rest of the Coutorture community? I didn’t see an email addy on the site and figure that this has to make it up the editorial food chain, but drop me or Julie a line if you’re interested.

    thx!

    phil, coutorture

  9. Nicole Says:

  10. Dan Castle Says:

    Today someone sent me this website and I was pleasantly suprised to see our Castle Starr paisley print dress photographed in 2 different looks. Great job. Keep up the good work ! The store looks fantastic and I hear the people that work there are too.

    All the best,

    PLEASE, PLEASE Come to the SF-Bay Area SOON!!

  12. jnetteb Says:

    I love your looks listed on the site! Too bad we don’t have a store in Dallas! I am adding your link to my site!

  13. Jane Grenier Says:

    Shopped the Tyson’s store last month (I’m originally from Bethesda MD) and leaving Tues for one of my frequent NY/LA biz trips. Can’t WAIT to hit Cen City. Actually rescheduled my flight so me and my boss will have Tues afternoon “market research” (AKA shopping) at Cusp. Planning to score an outfit to wear to the TEEN VOGUE Young Hollywood party on Wed night…

    Speaking of TEEN VOGUE, all you netizens of the blogosphere should check out the new blog straight from the shows with the TEEN VOGUE edit POV. Kimball Hastings, the Styleblogger editor (and all-around glamorous guy about town) gets behind the scenes big time. There’s stuff from beauty editor Eva Chen, too. Not a commercial plug–it’s really good!

  14. Summer Bobsin Says:

    Love to come out the 21st. Do I need to rsvp? What time etc…

  15. Style Editor Says:

    Jane, love Teen Vogue and your ever-conscious eye on LA so thanks for dropping the blog link. Feels like younger audiences are way more interested in West Coast style.

    Just stopped by your Tysons Corner store the other day. It is wonderful!! The sales people are extremely helpful & energetic without hovering. The store has wonderful clothing and perfume–very edgy. My teenage daughter will love it!!

  18. Rita Says:

    I just went to the Tysons store the other day and I will definitely be shopping at Cusp more than Bloomingdales. The store is huge and has everything a girl could need! The staff was helpful and not snooty at all. Can’t wait to go back!

  19. Sharla Says:

    Love, love, love the Tysons store!! Can’t wait to go back to see what’s new!

  20. Chloe Says:

    Please put a Cusp in Boston! I have read alot about the store and it looks fantastic and I only wish we could have one here. Bostonians like fashion too!

  21. Rashown Christian Says:

    I love your store. Its like the Roberston Ave. in L.A., the Kitson to VA. If Nicole Richie were here i can see her buying every Yves Saint Laurent bag and the Chloe’s. Keep it up.

  22. Libby Says:

    I love Cusp in Tysons - but why can’t we shop Cusp on-line? The Neiman-Marcus online doesn’t have the same stuff. So much to buy, so little time!

  23. web design company Says:

    It’s a very good news…

  24. Alexandra Says:

    Come to the Chicago area! We would be happy to have you.
    If that isn’t going to happen anytime soon, an online shop would be nice.

  25. Akeyla Says:

    Hey I saw the vamp posted on yummy, they mentioned CUSP, I am in love with CUSp and I picked up the Vamp yesterday becuase they mentioned it.
    I think you guys should check it out it is such a cute site.

    okay well kisses.

  26. Irina Says:

    Cusp new to me. Will definitely stop and check next time in Georgetown.

  27. Grace Says:

    i cannot wait until Cusp opens at Northbrook Court! I went to the ones in DC and i definately will be going as soon as it opens, and i’ll bring my friends. Cusp has a great selection and it will be great to have it in my area

  28. SaraGirl Says:

    Can we please please have a CUSP online? I love to peruse online as well as the store…

  29. Cynthia Says:

    I agree that a Cusp shopping website would be optimal!

  30. Nicole Steel Says:

    Help! We are in desperate need for a CUSP store in Connecticut! Especially given how much more cosmopolitan Stamford has become. God help Fairfield County’s JCrew and Brooks Brothers stores, it’s time for some STYLE.

    Just got back from DC and the Georgetown store was unreal. The buyers of this store are on the ball!

  31. Leda Says:

    I Love cusp! So much great styles and very unique.

    Oh and there should be a cusp online!!

    :)

  32. Nikki Catania Says:

    I think it’s great that the store managers and employees can share their favorite pieces… great for those of us stuck shopping online to get rec’s from those manhandling the merch!
