Women shop at plenty of places besides the Tampa, Florida-based shopping network, so it makes sense that brick-and-mortar retailers are looking to horn in on a little of the Julia Roberts, chick-flick product tie-in action this summer.  Eat Pray Love-inspired fashions and jewelry will be on offer in Los Angeles area boutiques and department stores like Dillards, Neiman Marcus, Bloomingdales and Sakes Fifth Avenue, too.  One designer, set to capitalize on the movie is Sue Wong, whose “Eat Pray Love by Sue Wong” collection will hit the shelves in high-end department stores in August.  She told a reporter, “Because of the immediate connection I felt to the story, as well as its emphasis on the culture, philosophy, and, in particular, alluring mystique of the East, I was able to create a collection that was striking, exotic, and timeless, and organic to the journey in the book and forthcoming film.”

As for jewelry, Dogeared is creating a line inspired by the movie that will include beaded necklaces in earth tones and bohemian bracelets. Their “Eat Pray Love” collection will be sold by ABC Home and Fred Segal in Los Angeles.  All Headline News Jul. 6, 2010
