Conspicuous Correlation: Retail Sales January 2011
Today, the U.S. Census Bureau released its latest nominal read of retail sales showing an increase of 0.3% since December bringing the total increase since last year to 7.8% on an aggregate of all items including food, fuel and healthcare services. Discretionary retail sales including home furnishings, home garden and building materials, consumer electronics and department store sales, on the other hand, declined 1.18% from December but climbed 3.90% above the level seen in January 2010 while, adjusting for inflation, “real” discretionary retail sales increased 2.64% over the same period.
On a “nominal” basis, there had appeared to be “rough correlation” between strong home value appreciation and strong retail spending preceding the housing bust and an even stronger correlation when home values started to decline.
The following chart shows the year-over-year change to nominal discretionary retail sales and the year-over-year change to nominal the S&P/Case-Shiller Composite home price index since 1993 and since 2000.
As you can see there is, at the very least, a coincidental change to home values and consumer spending during the boom and then the bust, but as home values have continued to decline, retail spending has remained low but has not continued to consistently contract.
Looking at the chart below (click for full-screen dynamic version), adjusted for inflation (CPI for retail sales, CPI “less shelter” for S&P/Case-Shiller Composite) the “rough correlation” between the year-over-year change to the “discretionary” retail sales series and the year-over-year S&P/Case-Shiller Composite series seems now even more significant.

Retail Therapy: Every Look From Diane von Furstenberg's Home Line, Launching Fri.

Just in time for wedding-registry season, this Friday Diane von Furstenberg will debut her much-anticipated home collection at the Bloomingdale's flagship store in NYC. On Feb. 28, the spring line will expand to Bloomingdale's stores nationwide, in addition to Bloomingdales.com and DVF.com. Per the press release, the tabletop pieces are meant to convey the mantra, "Be bold. Be graphic. Be free"; and the bedding, "Create your own style. Pair. Contrast. Be intuitive." Lots of direct orders there! Anyway, keep in mind this isn't the first time the wrap-dress queen has tried her hand in the bedding, bath, and tabletop arena—remember her exclusive home line for Sears in the '70's and '80s? Something tells us this will do just fine though—just fine indeed. Preview the lookbook in full after the jump.

Today, the U.S. Census Bureau released its latest nominal read of retail sales showing an increase of 0.6% since November bringing the total increase since last year to 7.9% on an aggregate of all items including food, fuel and healthcare services. Discretionary retail sales including home furnishings, home garden and building materials, consumer electronics and department store sales increased 0.38% from November and climbed 5.69% above the level seen in December 2009 while, adjusting for inflation, “real” discretionary retail sales increased 4.24% over the same period.
On a “nominal” basis, there had appeared to be “rough correlation” between strong home value appreciation and strong retail spending preceding the housing bust and an even stronger correlation when home values started to decline.

Retail Therapy: Despite the Neon, Tory Burch Stores Exhibit Sensitivity to Siting

In a story in this weekend's Wall Street Journal, fashion designer Tory Burch discusses from whence she derives inspiration for the interiors of her many, many stores. While each retail locale is designed by Daniel Romualdez, with whom Burch worked on her own residence in NYC, they all vary based on setting. We're tempted to start talking about the "beach-chic" store in Malibu, or the "Asian-mod" one in Seoul, or even the Disneyriffic one in Orlando, Fla., but, well, let's not even go there. The photos are as enticingly eye-popping as a Technicolor array of Reva flats at the Tory Burch outlet, so do have a look above.
