This is a shell mock-up with *a lot* less CSS. Granted, I've only looked at it in Chrome but this should get you started. I cleaned up the markup a bit, namely what you were using to markup the menu that contained "About", "Women's", etc. - use nested <ul>'s :).
http://codepen.io/chrisrockwell/pen/gFsiH/ Pay no attention to the seemingly arbitrary class names and ID's - I use snappy snippet to take it from the inspector to codepen and it does that. Again, this should get you on your way to something *much* cleaner, more maintainable, and easily adaptable to narrower devices via media queries. Good luck!
