Jars and things

 

I love the simple layout of the jars and the various colors that are inside each one. It looks really attractive and clutter free. I also like how all the vegetables and beans are stored in old fashioned Ball jars. The jars themselves add character to the space that new containers from a local retailer could not bring. I also love the vase. I think these are great center pieces when filled with fruit in the summer, and can be changed periodically throughout the seasons. The coffee beans and the other items are beautiful together. This set of items can really be perfect for any time of the year. I love the neutral colors all together. The vase complements the wall color and the pieces in the room. My cousins did a fabulous job decorating their home! :D

Eco-Fashion: Going Green at FIT

While in New York our group had a tour of FIT's exhibit Eco-Fashion: Going Green. These are a few videos that give a glimpse of the garments that are being showcased. I learned a lot about how eco friendly clothing. It has been around a lot longer than I previously thought. In the 18th century the gowns were made of so much fabric and the fabric itself was very expensive. So the gowns were only altered when fashions changed. They were also made into totally different garments like men's jackets.

Spring/Summer 2008 Ready to wear in LA

These are some gowns by Gary Harvey that are made of old cloths and other materials. It is a different way to think about t shirts, jeans, and coats. He used unwanted/unusual materials to make runway attire. 

 

 

No One liked the New Gap Logo

 

Verses

 Gap decided to change it's brand image with a new logo but to their surprise the public was not happy with it at all. After Gap received so much negative feedback they reverted back to the original logo. Coca Cola had a similar response when they changed their pop formula...no one liked it so they went back to selling the original formula and now it is called Coca Cola Classic. When a brand is so recognizable it is understandable that viewers would dislike such a huge change. Many may think, 'If it isn't broken why fix it?' Gap is also thinking about changing the store design from wooden floors and metal fixtures to something new, contemporary...look out for the store makeover!

A View of India

 

My friend Shaili and her mom gave me a tunic from India. The embroidery is beautiful and interesting. So much detail and precision went into the embellishments. It is a very unique gift, and nice of them to think of me. :] I really enjoy viewing cultural dress.

Spine

DSquared2 pumps ~ $1,279.00

These are interesting platforms! The heel is designed to look like a spine from a skeleton. This is not my style but I think the idea is creative and like a piece of art. If someone was going to buy a shoe like this it would go well with a Halloween costume. :]
