The masterminds behind hit label Juicy Couture, Pam Skaist-Levy and Gela Nash-Taylor introduced this sister line 'Bird' for fall 09. Trying to stray away from their usual track suits, which are inevitably dying out, Juicy Couture has taken a new turn on fashion. Introducing a high end line of clothing, BIRD is chic, edgy, and definitely not for your matching track suit girl. Bird consists of sophisticated, fitted pieces inspired by timeless vintage silhouettes including streamlined outerwear, rich cashmere, understated tops and leather pieces. Casual luxury for girls with a cutting edge sense of style. I shop Savvy quite frequently, and will love to see how this line sells amongst stronger lower price pointed lines. Here are a few pieces:<br /> <br /><br />Olivia Dress -$598<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiSh_nBiJVSqRiTS_OzGj0QvDW0hNrqGjIsen3NSUF9Z4cEzmi27Vwv5Tr5v7z5gl3Y2mnr8a0PsGwJ-rc0WgvOVWJnq5enVs6ceWUPLZaFdpEMLnSZ_tLUcSrkjRCIQ7XAADVLOeRfRoYJ/s1600/olivia+dress.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 216px; height: 270px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiSh_nBiJVSqRiTS_OzGj0QvDW0hNrqGjIsen3NSUF9Z4cEzmi27Vwv5Tr5v7z5gl3Y2mnr8a0PsGwJ-rc0WgvOVWJnq5enVs6ceWUPLZaFdpEMLnSZ_tLUcSrkjRCIQ7XAADVLOeRfRoYJ/s400/olivia+dress.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5522019691226361858" /></a><br />[juicycouture.com]<br /><br />A deceptively simple dress that packs a wallop of glamour.

For example Tory Burch, is venturing out with a premium denim collection! A great pair of jeans is a wardrobe staple. Whether you favor an ultra skinny silhouette, a classic boot cut, cool tomboy look or a sophisticated wide-leg, Tory Burch's denim collection covers it all.

It's going to be another shirt in your closet, and another necklace to get tangled up in the already-too-full jewelry holder you have. Fast fashion is everywhere, but i think people are losing sight of quality, let alone what it takes to get that product to you. Many third world countries are producing our aldo shoes, and h&m tops at a rate that any average American couldn't even fathom. Extremely long hours, little bathroom breaks, and definitely no snack time. Personally when i go shopping, that's what i think when i see a nicely constructed acrylic sweater for $24.90. Our fast fashion frenzy is overwhelming and quite honestly disgusting when you put two and two together. Along with the extended work hours, we are also dumping two million tons of textile waste into landfills each year. ouch. Just a quick bit of insight for those of you who are shopping at fast fashion retailers on a regular basis. Maybe paying a higher price for a garment that you're going to wear longer and appreciate more is the way to go. But hey, you buy what you want, and I'll stick to clothing made with love. :)Sarah in the Cityhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08868645768718687131noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3901246825954857810.post-34166481181581415812010-07-13T09:43:00.000-07:002010-07-13T10:15:06.788-07:00It's Been a WhileI would like to apologize for not writing in my blog for so long.. I have been transitioning from Vancouver, BC to Bellevue, WA. As well as starting a new job that keeps be occupied at least 50 hours a week. With that said, Yay, new blog post! <br /><br />So to kick off my back-to-blogging...<br /><br />Big Butts are IN! According to the Daily News, "Big bums are shaping up to be the summer of 2010's hottest trend." While many of the fall 2010 looks accentuated breasts, the spring 2010 looks started showing an increase in panties instead of legit bottoms. The Daily News says big butts are in because the likes of Serena Williams, Kim Kardashian, and Beyonce have them. And everyone knows how much like them you want to be. ha. So if you are less blessed in the rear end, the ladies at SheFinds have found some panties to help you plump up your behind. If you're not into the "Ass-bra", you can try out a $30 pair of padded by underwear by Pure Style Girlfriends out for size.. ( no pun intended.. oh wait.. yeah pun intended) Happy plumping!Sarah in the Cityhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08868645768718687131noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3901246825954857810.post-33418108509444038842010-06-16T21:49:00.001-07:002010-06-16T21:49:16.114-07:00Double Take<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiIlAn1VD8-3rSEwMerhecxtyAkdlkwqQ3QfHs3F2ojM1zyVKyk1VIEeZEQydcfh6BqqxJeIw94wPuiBoBNGI9EwMyoI7JKQ5x6Jf8nBRJX09I7dNLraUV-yXP59diiEcR5BnBL5eFeN6Zv/s1600/20100615_aretharepeat_560x457.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 326px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiIlAn1VD8-3rSEwMerhecxtyAkdlkwqQ3QfHs3F2ojM1zyVKyk1VIEeZEQydcfh6BqqxJeIw94wPuiBoBNGI9EwMyoI7JKQ5x6Jf8nBRJX09I7dNLraUV-yXP59diiEcR5BnBL5eFeN6Zv/s400/20100615_aretharepeat_560x457.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5483242395935664034" /></a><br />I love this post, only because who hasn't done this before? Aretha Franklin wore this dress to the Tony Awards on Sunday, and then at the Apollo Theater Awards Monday night! She accessorized with the same necklace, bag, boa, and shoes. It really makes me smile. I mean how many times do you go out two nights in a row with different people? It's the perfect solution. I have days like that trust me.. When i love my outfit and want to show it off :) It happens. Here are a few more double takes..

So, here it goes. For the last few months, my life has been completely consumed with a fashion show. As our final project, my 18 classmates and i worked together, (some more than most) to put this production into action. Our theme was Gothic Romantic with a Tim Burton feel to it. We used a lot of purples and blacks, bringing out a darker side to the show. As head of fund raising and sponsorships, I was in charge for most of the money that was brought in. Which is a really hard task.. I can't even begin to tell you the amount of people who shut doors on me and told me they weren't hiring and to leave them alone. It's quite funny to me. I know it has nothing to do with me, but everything to do with people not wanting to help out. There are so many charities these days, and i can completely understand that there is a little bit of donation exhaustion going on.<br /><br /> OH. By the way, the show was all for charity. We supported the local <a href="http://www.covenanthouse.org/">Covenant House</a>, which in case you don't know, is an organization to help kids get off the street and battle addictions and homelessness. It's quite a touching charity, and i am so glad that we got to raise money for them. <br /><br />So the show happened last Thursday night at an antique hall on Main Street, Vancouver. It was a huge success. Within the first half hour we had all of our gift cards (that i acquired) sold, and raffle tickets flying out of our seller's hands. It was such a great feeling to see so many people passionate about helping.

AldoAs the Eco friendly march goes on, we are seeing more and more companies trying on smaller carbon shoes, and leaving smaller footprints. (clever, huh) Personally i find the biggest waste companies have is packaging. There are two companies i want to recognize for reducing the costs, and waste they're putting out. <br /><br />First of all, Puma for the Clever Little Bag. <br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhU39p1UwEwDSrKtZR0BDG-3n_Lz8QLbaJBnn-gonryGiMl1yolSUmnhqoQ2r-O5MI9pXK6NdUFojXfyIpj9JisNKZQAWybevRUTYPc7lUdV7aPEYW1rp91MPxAtilVSNrZp4YKi-yQgKT4/s1600/article-1265925-091EC2EE000005DC-537_468x320.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 274px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhU39p1UwEwDSrKtZR0BDG-3n_Lz8QLbaJBnn-gonryGiMl1yolSUmnhqoQ2r-O5MI9pXK6NdUFojXfyIpj9JisNKZQAWybevRUTYPc7lUdV7aPEYW1rp91MPxAtilVSNrZp4YKi-yQgKT4/s400/article-1265925-091EC2EE000005DC-537_468x320.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5482112216154879506" /></a><br /><br />It is a reusable shoe bag, intended to be used for pictures, keepsakes, and of course, for shoes. The German company claims it will massively reduce its carbon 'paw print' , saving 8,500 tonnes of paper, which is the weight of 1,400 elephants every year. It's great advertising for Puma. Just think about it.. You buy a pair of shoes and get this spiffy bag. Then you want to show it off, so you use it for your lunch, gym stuff, and carry it everywhere you go. BOOM! Now everyone is eying your bag and want one too. And how do they get one? Gotta buy the shoes! I like the idea personally, but it seems like a knock off of the Aldo bag which i will talk about next. <br /><br /><br />Aldo: Shoe box with built in handle<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjEznXCLkEapLhN99TzuGCGjdwdQwLXPc2em46HUmmjLhzCJBLQEFCD4EJ5SMjJdONn_gtyx7mvYTwS6tpCS8Em2pGwHbdf2YFAouM_K6qGMgXGRGYgWR30jqLDzVgPo5koy4fmqqAHOwHA/s1600/shoe-box1.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjEznXCLkEapLhN99TzuGCGjdwdQwLXPc2em46HUmmjLhzCJBLQEFCD4EJ5SMjJdONn_gtyx7mvYTwS6tpCS8Em2pGwHbdf2YFAouM_K6qGMgXGRGYgWR30jqLDzVgPo5koy4fmqqAHOwHA/s400/shoe-box1.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5482113780650385106" /></a><br /><br />So here we have shoe boxes with the handle built in. Pretty simple concept, but think about all the plastic and/or paper you would save by cutting out bags and tissue. In 2008 the company launched its Next Step program aimed at going green and becoming more environmentally friendly. Way to go Aldo. Maybe it somehow makes up for your mass production of very cheap shoes that are extremely overpriced for what they are. But hey, they look cute. And i have to say, i bought a pair of shoes there once, and i was super excited about the built in handle.. i thought it was genius. Ha.<br /><br />What do you think?

It is a vertically integrated clothing manufacturer and wholesaler, and retailer that preforms its own design, marketing and even its own advertising. Starting off as a socially responsible basics retailer, it has branched into pants, skirts, leggings, and even men's and children's clothing. <br /><br />Although A.A seems to be such an amazing company from the outside, there is unending controversy coming from within. From sexual harassment, to illegal hiring practices, to weight discrimination, they are constantly making headlines. It's just one thing after another. An unnamed source has leaked a transcript from a May 18 conference call during which retail managers were instructed to submit “full-body head-to-toe” photographs of job applicants for approval. “Your looks determine your position and pay rate, not how effective you are at your job,” the source told Gawker. To add to that, staff recruiters are supposed to send the photos from their personal e-mail, not the store account. The company reiterated that they screen purely for personal style, not physical beauty; applicants may be turned away if their looks fit into the fuzzy category of “off-brand.” Ridiculous much?<br />Maybe so they all can look like this:<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg_KNfRZukWEvxvdLiChkzhJ9EIZQFQeo1vxfh3CZaIXQy3x-hpDIQi25xzIEsyS5JOOXRlcrJ8ZRL3YpSBzeP-pyNBWrTxhaQI6DMUTkAMMmuc55tH4FrwAuoo_vZ6HsRlM8Ub5PVLrkdz/s1600/americanapparel.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 271px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg_KNfRZukWEvxvdLiChkzhJ9EIZQFQeo1vxfh3CZaIXQy3x-hpDIQi25xzIEsyS5JOOXRlcrJ8ZRL3YpSBzeP-pyNBWrTxhaQI6DMUTkAMMmuc55tH4FrwAuoo_vZ6HsRlM8Ub5PVLrkdz/s400/americanapparel.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5480978025004001186" /></a><br /><br />Also to add flame to the fire, there have been 3 sexual harassment cases against the owner of the company owner Dov Charney. As i don't believe rumors, i could care less about those statements unless there is proof, but Charney never denied masturbating in front of a reporter AND engaged in oral sex with a female employee. He responds to accusations with: "I've never done anything sexual that wasn't consensual," <br />Charney says. <br /><br />Interesting eh? That's the kind of person i want to think about when i wear my overpriced A.A Cotton Skirt. Here are a few more ads, just for kicks. Is he a genius? Or thinking with his.. well you know.<br /><br />What do you think??<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg24gA5X-ejz5AjbxUjfBhy6rxcUD-bwu6SiopBvagG6LQn_NLd_aDnf94zEwm0bF9C4htzUw-GjWpu4EJNmK5z1nQi6g0Oq5FcGVHur6kIVK4NVf-5Pj9-pnNj0AcaCac65ZwHAj9xgigH/s1600/aaad.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 312px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg24gA5X-ejz5AjbxUjfBhy6rxcUD-bwu6SiopBvagG6LQn_NLd_aDnf94zEwm0bF9C4htzUw-GjWpu4EJNmK5z1nQi6g0Oq5FcGVHur6kIVK4NVf-5Pj9-pnNj0AcaCac65ZwHAj9xgigH/s400/aaad.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5480979297867673138" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiqXbH4c0qz6M2Uz0pS1dMTaK8uOZxWNed1PU940RHJQ_A8xJZZbuLVsmW282AQmf38xl0INT2kGM1vBkccDuoLpsKdmOArb5zFUsRBFJIboEQDdEsmTJGXTju9-Fn9mE3cjCtgsBT8J0V6/s1600/american_apparel_ad-1.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 309px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiqXbH4c0qz6M2Uz0pS1dMTaK8uOZxWNed1PU940RHJQ_A8xJZZbuLVsmW282AQmf38xl0INT2kGM1vBkccDuoLpsKdmOArb5zFUsRBFJIboEQDdEsmTJGXTju9-Fn9mE3cjCtgsBT8J0V6/s400/american_apparel_ad-1.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5480979672611248002" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhItvFmlRHeWfe983qixOpBwaE_IqA2_-AxA_BrZF2VeZwvgMa65c4Gis7dyD0Yip6e5L9gxK9myxe1IUILAAUBOZa0oNvFnKutrs0wiZ24DfYZOWqCpEAOymWZVlIwodHSqIDzle4iwpq-/s1600/american_apparel.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 308px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhItvFmlRHeWfe983qixOpBwaE_IqA2_-AxA_BrZF2VeZwvgMa65c4Gis7dyD0Yip6e5L9gxK9myxe1IUILAAUBOZa0oNvFnKutrs0wiZ24DfYZOWqCpEAOymWZVlIwodHSqIDzle4iwpq-/s400/american_apparel.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5480979586984372722" /></a>Sarah in the Cityhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08868645768718687131noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3901246825954857810.post-76334809516679263372010-06-08T21:36:00.000-07:002010-06-08T22:11:41.033-07:00As seen on..Ever wonder where the stars shop?

At first i went into a Western store, looking at Cowboy boots, not too exciting. Then a little boutique in the middle of two bigger well known stores caught my eye. I had never seen this store before. In that part of gastown, there are cobblestone roads, and lots of people walking around, but it's a local place.. not many tourists venture down that far. In nice silver letters i read the store name: <a href="http://www.lynnsteven.com/">LynnStephen</a>. <br /><br />Being my curious self, I walked in to take a look around, and was pleasantly surprised! The owner of the store was working by herself (given the store was as big as my 700 sq foot apartment)but made time to come over to be a greet me personally.I chatted with the owner for a bit and got to know a little more about the store. They had just opened up 5 months ago, which explains why i haven't seen it yet, and are very involved with the community, donating $50 towards my fashion show on the spot(!!) I had a look around, and there were some pretty amazing clothes inside. The clothing was minimal on rolling racks, but it looked classy and expensive. They carry great brands, such as Paige,DL1961, Gemma, Monrow, Lauren Moshi, Pade Vavra, and Gorjana, just to name a few.<br /><br />The best part about the store, in my opinion, was their changing room/bathroom. The entire wall surrounding is made out of books! I took some picture, excuse the quality, they're from my camera phone, but i just had to write about it! <br /><br />This is a view from the front door<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEitgu3dOCjzE492YjI_quaQVPOOLLpeEfVfcr7sSbbY4IqSiLma4F9GU-uaEPJeh3V7QxuTAVMo82WVY8PV50IkfDiUVFDm49xUL0bgCy-99up5hyr-P5-2qujNxPCUTJ3W8W67d-CNMBc2/s1600/wall.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEitgu3dOCjzE492YjI_quaQVPOOLLpeEfVfcr7sSbbY4IqSiLma4F9GU-uaEPJeh3V7QxuTAVMo82WVY8PV50IkfDiUVFDm49xUL0bgCy-99up5hyr-P5-2qujNxPCUTJ3W8W67d-CNMBc2/s400/wall.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5480080772388209362" /></a><br /><br /><br />This is a view from the back of the store.

This last week i was with a team of people and were asked to merchandise 8 mannequins for the brand Free People at the Bay. The brand is a little funky and for the miss-matchy fashion forward woman. I did two outfits, first was the outfit above. It consists of a cute <a href="http://www.freepeople.com/sale-sale-dresses/easy-breezy-dress/">floral dress</a> with a neutral pink on the top with a waist band connecting. and a cute white <a href="http://www.freepeople.com/sale-sale-jackets/lace-lapel-blazer/">lace lapel blazer</a> over the top with a nice texture on it. It's nice to pair the simplicity of the jacket with the print on the skirt, and add the low key necklace just for added look.<br /><br />The second outfit is:<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjR5VBoCHFu_dCQO9AiZ-9VUCQvoFv4O_JNHTqDz7HlwgE7ZE5u47DTf7bkPWZC01-CbaBcD9C9JxgRp3b4HJbbMRLkotjprmBN1gIh2PAgcmGiCCHdfHKfdsm4Psh0EERBNsNRW6AOr2sB/s1600/merchandigins+two.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjR5VBoCHFu_dCQO9AiZ-9VUCQvoFv4O_JNHTqDz7HlwgE7ZE5u47DTf7bkPWZC01-CbaBcD9C9JxgRp3b4HJbbMRLkotjprmBN1gIh2PAgcmGiCCHdfHKfdsm4Psh0EERBNsNRW6AOr2sB/s400/merchandigins+two.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5479704336999026786" /></a><br /><br />It is another springy/summer time dress, i love dresses when its hot out! This outfit consists of a pink sequined dress with spaghetti straps ( hidden by the jacket) and a army <a href="http://www.freepeople.com/sale-sale-jackets/long-seamed-blazer/">green blazer</a> over the top. The blazer shows a little attitude with the sleeves rolled up and contrasts nicely with the pink and creme. The army inspired jacket is also opposite from the cute and fun dress which goes to show that you can match these items and still look great. I paired the outfit with a chunky statement necklace to add a bit more attitude to the mannequin. <br /><br />Through doing this, i have found a brand that i am now in love with. Free people is a higher price point, but its also great quality and fashion forward. Can't wait to go back and shop :)<br /><br />Mannequins are so easy.. they always look so great in everything! Especially dressing headless mannequins, it's so easy to see yourself in the outfits!<br />It was fun getting to style my own pieces and i've found that i really enjoy it.. Styling in the future perhaps?

Wanting to see the latest news i checked it out, and found out that they launched a beauty campaign! There are lines of makeup, skin care, nail polish, and scents that are all new to UO. I am definitely surprised that they launched so many different products, being that there are over 50 brands and 1,000 colors that they're offering. That's a lot to take on.. But can't wait to see what they have!

It was an article about Louis Vuitton. When you think of LV, what comes to mind? Probably great quality, fit, and craftsmanship. Amongst that there's a certain exclusivity that comes with buying a luxury brand. I know that when i am investing in a luxury piece, i am looking for that special treatment. It's like buying a first class ticket on an airplane. You pay to stand in your special line, better comfier chairs, and real food on the plan.. not to mention your own bathroom. You're paying to feel special, in a sense.<br />That being said, the Advertising Standards Agency banned two Louis Vuitton ads in the U.K. today for misleading customers. The images show people who are supposedly Vuitton's craftsmen doing what looks like hand-stitching to their leather goods. However, Vuitton's bags and wallets and things are made primarily by machine, not by hand.<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEip2PDH1-m8UnzT354YLFveqFgyriWvTJjGghZpO5u9FBqlOCqncw4rOvZ724dSedmBXchQvGao0YIIPXskzYZitxDYo4dF7W2R6vW75x8wCniQZLtXLzLRv7e4nPf6zq19Z8RxhqaDiHZg/s1600/20100526_louisvuitton_250x375.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 250px; height: 375px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEip2PDH1-m8UnzT354YLFveqFgyriWvTJjGghZpO5u9FBqlOCqncw4rOvZ724dSedmBXchQvGao0YIIPXskzYZitxDYo4dF7W2R6vW75x8wCniQZLtXLzLRv7e4nPf6zq19Z8RxhqaDiHZg/s400/20100526_louisvuitton_250x375.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5476157155187388898" /></a><br /><br /> "The ASA said that although Louis Vuitton provided it with evidence that many 'hand-crafting techniques' were used in the production of the bag and wallet, it fell short of what was needed to prove the products were made by hand.<br /><br /> It stated: 'We noted that we had not seen documentation that detailed the entire production process for Louis Vuitton products or that showed the proportion of their manufacture that was carried out by hand or by machine."<br /><br />What do you think about this?Sarah in the Cityhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08868645768718687131noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3901246825954857810.post-22907213786250457162010-05-26T20:05:00.000-07:002010-05-26T20:36:21.678-07:00This Weeks hits and DissesAlright.. So i've decided once a week i'm going to do a weekly hit and diss list. I'll show you the Stars wearing it right..and those of them who unfortunately opted not to have a stylist.

Aly Michalka, Disney Star is definitely not hiding any McDonalds Cheeseburgers underneath that dress. That's for sure. The bold stripes and ever-so-tight fit of the dress is definitely a head turning combination. I like the hair and the shoes.. but something about the extreme tan-ness of her legs is throwing me off.<br /><br />Here are my Disses:<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEineOzagpWddXtTCmyNbyjxXwUuNuIoW7esWlZQeRcIGkrn9LeD4yz6HXu4lPfFWYjxx0MuWZ8XC7_lWzirVXNLfD4pxxxITjOvFZyQ_MxOO5T8gur6Tzz5qWTx_684wCnF8yFaDtuIE9zJ/s1600/lily+allen.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 222px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEineOzagpWddXtTCmyNbyjxXwUuNuIoW7esWlZQeRcIGkrn9LeD4yz6HXu4lPfFWYjxx0MuWZ8XC7_lWzirVXNLfD4pxxxITjOvFZyQ_MxOO5T8gur6Tzz5qWTx_684wCnF8yFaDtuIE9zJ/s400/lily+allen.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5475784607101500946" /></a><br /><br />Lily Allen...

Let me first start off by saying.. I have NEVER been a mermaid silhouette fan. I'm quite the avid "Say Yes to the Dress" watcher.. and every time they try own those gowns i fast forward. ( Thank god for Tivo ) I think accentuating the hips is great.. but not when it looks like this. Having chosen a neutral color.. i am still overwhelmingly distracted by everything that is going on. The print, the neckline, and the skirt detail.. really?? At least her hair looked nice :)<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiTN2Wx3iJ94QoBmPB3HxtkKZn3INpxMzXH1569J3QQcOMNcSs48aaXVqDGCl-VEm6TsOGuAAzNd9lagyMVEXf97KfThurXXj6JiiGUzCK6VvaE5zfXD0cBgap8GV6BPn5gzsaQuCcEPgqI/s1600/C1173453C73888F1B37AC83BF12DAD.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 245px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiTN2Wx3iJ94QoBmPB3HxtkKZn3INpxMzXH1569J3QQcOMNcSs48aaXVqDGCl-VEm6TsOGuAAzNd9lagyMVEXf97KfThurXXj6JiiGUzCK6VvaE5zfXD0cBgap8GV6BPn5gzsaQuCcEPgqI/s400/C1173453C73888F1B37AC83BF12DAD.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5475786485007687586" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br />So... this is Marion Cotillard.. Which i really don't know who she is.. but i do know one thing...I think i made this dress my first semester of Fashion School with a bolt of fabric and 1,000 pins. Black looks great on her, don't get me wrong.. but pin tuck after pin tuck really cheapens the look for me. So you take a beautiful strapless black gown, and add way too much fabric to it.. and don't know what to do, so you just tuck it all up and hope we don't notice. Maybe next time.. Or maybe make two dresses out of the same amount of fabric. Just a suggestion..I'm no designer :)Sarah in the Cityhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08868645768718687131noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3901246825954857810.post-53690793370001479612010-05-25T21:06:00.000-07:002010-05-25T21:46:46.220-07:00MIA calls out CIA<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://blogs.citypages.com/gimmenoise/MIA.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 440px; height: 327px;" src="http://blogs.citypages.com/gimmenoise/MIA.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><br /><br />We all know M.I.A as an outspoken and very controversial singer, and once again she never ceases to amaze us. Last month when she released the explicit video "Born Free" it was banned within hours on You-Tube and other public websites due to graphic material. In case you haven't seen the movie, i recommend you look at it. See it <a href="http://www.miauk.com">HERE</a> It's about a Red Head Genocide where they're capturing all of the Red Heads and one by one, graphically killing them with all details (and body parts) exposed on camera. Being known for these kind of stunts, it didn't surprise me..but the movie was very shocking. I probably wouldn't watch it again.<br /><br />Recently she was quoted saying:<br />“Anybody who is called the government is right. And anybody who isn’t called the government is not right… And you know, all governments are connected to Google, and all governments can shift their search engines so only what they want you to see comes up… I want kids to be aware of this digital circumstance… Everyone on the Internet is like, “Oh my God, come and join Facebook!” They’re all so optimistic… and really, everyone is fucking you up behind the screens. And I don’t like that. It makes it difficult for me to interact with my fans knowing that. Google and Facebook were developed by the CIA, and when you’re on there, you have to know that.”<br /><br />Conspiracy theorist?

Created by London-based firm <a href="http://www.cutecircuit.com/">CuteCircuit</a>, Perry’s gown assured her a lot of publicity. But the coming integration of fashion and technology is about more than making a visual statement.<br />While the cream of New York’s high society sashayed past in couture creations by Valentino and Oscar de la Renta, the irony was not lost on the pop star, who was quoted as saying: “Fashion can be a little stuffy, so I wanted to lighten up.”<br /><br />If this is where our technology is headed, i wouldn't mind seeing clothes having personal heaters in them as well. Maybe Lady Gaga's designer will come up with it..

From her new video "<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sjSG6z_13-Q&feature=fvsr">Can't be Tamed</a>" to giving old men lap dances, this 17 year old Disney girl start-off, is turning bad. Haven't we seen this before? Lindsey Lohan, The Olsen twins, Hilary Duff? You would think she would know a bit better, then to take that path. ( Granted that i like Duff's DKNY line, and the Olsen twins sometimes look relatively fashionable.)<br />Her new music video, needless to say, is letting everyone know that she isn't the goody goody that she once portrayed on Hannah Montana, which has coincidentally just been canceled! Growing up and entering the real world, she is trying to make a statement to differentiate herself from every other rising star. For being so young, the video is a little promiscious in my opinion. Take a look and see for yourself. Is she growing up to fast?<br /><br />On the bright side, she does happen to have some really cute clothes, and as my friend <a href="http://whiteteaandroses.blogspot.com/">Sausha</a> mentioned, AMAZING hair! Natural or not, her hair always looks amazing. Non-the-less.. I still don't like her, or her Corny accent.

So what do you do? You go to China-town or online and buy 'Quality replicas.' You sport the bag or wallet around and get attention from all sorts of people. The people who don't know their brands well enough and think it's real, the fashion savvy who are laughing at you inside their heads because 'obviously it's a fake because the patterns don't line up'.. and then the police. Yes the police. Little do the mothers know, that when they're buying their daughters the fake Louis Vuitton bags, that they're committing a crime. It is fraud. Possessing these items while you are crossing borders, for example, is a serious issue and can turn into hefty fines and even jail time. CDs, DVDs, shoes, clothing, artwork, sports equipment, perfume, pharmaceuticals, jewelry and other accessories are all watched for very closely in some places. So think twice before grabbing that cheap ticket to Miami, soaking up the sun on a cruise ship and getting your favorite knock-off item in the Caribbean; your penalties could cost you 10-times the amount of your entire vacation<br />Last April, $1.4 million worth of fake Ed Hardy merchandise was on its way to New Jersey when it was intercepted at New York-JFK and in December, officials at Incheon International Airport in Korea snagged a group trying to take over $20 million worth of China-made imitation luxury goods into the US to sell; a record bust for that airport.<br /><br />One of the most expensive related incidents unfolded in 2008, when Ebay was forced to pay $61 million to Louis Vuitton for not keeping a closer eye on the sale of counterfeit goods on its website. They also had to pay them $118,000 more in a separate incident last September. Thats not the only designer theyve been in trouble with either, as they were also ordered to pay Hermes $27,000 in 2008, and before that they ended up winning a battle with Tiffany & Co. in addition to another win last year against Polo Ralph Lauren Corp.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.tiffany-jewelry1837.com/images/Tiffany%20Engraved%20HEART%20TAG%20Toggle%20Bracelet%20%20%2014.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 400px;" src="http://www.tiffany-jewelry1837.com/images/Tiffany%20Engraved%20HEART%20TAG%20Toggle%20Bracelet%20%20%2014.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><br /><br />Even though you can usually find specific regulations for each country you plan on traveling to, its still always better to be safe than sorry (as moms always say) and just leave the fakes at homes. Being stylish may be important, but not when it means you could get into trouble with the law for it. Just make sure that next year for Valentines Day your sweetheart gets you the real thing instead of a cheap knock-off.

From pink to purple to.. well.. ruffles and fringe, he has really outdone himself. The line shows in Shanghai to promote the new Dior store opening there that month. China is the target for couture and craftsmen ship, so Galliano kept the line very French inspired.<br />Personally, I'd love to see the women who are parading themselves around in these garments. Not that they aren't wonderfully crafted by any means..but the women with enough confidence to pull off these looks. For example:<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgL0s0WK4zviXgz4sQ0qIP2ATaUW1wGxW3dn_3ciJiDaMPkEF0YoYalngg1rw_pcFJCaEGEQPQu_94qQblCLI4TiF8GtVlMENXWAYmz9OX2AP0JOpOqmZbtjfQabGKfWSu8Rfwgfut0I9dt/s1600/49.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 267px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgL0s0WK4zviXgz4sQ0qIP2ATaUW1wGxW3dn_3ciJiDaMPkEF0YoYalngg1rw_pcFJCaEGEQPQu_94qQblCLI4TiF8GtVlMENXWAYmz9OX2AP0JOpOqmZbtjfQabGKfWSu8Rfwgfut0I9dt/s400/49.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5472432118131961458" /></a><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEisu7u7dhcuCt1NdwRO8o8DeANDbqpJwCDDkC19mO2EuUQLuaOGXctdquOf-g-SKmS8GhYoFIpHBr-b9IZRr82yVyASU3G0bUDvn762-N8X5C_FAjirWgwRhJWrhz26B95NEp2IWu995xhY/s1600/50.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 267px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEisu7u7dhcuCt1NdwRO8o8DeANDbqpJwCDDkC19mO2EuUQLuaOGXctdquOf-g-SKmS8GhYoFIpHBr-b9IZRr82yVyASU3G0bUDvn762-N8X5C_FAjirWgwRhJWrhz26B95NEp2IWu995xhY/s400/50.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5472433423864339714" /></a><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi8kq5jKaok7h86CTDWPX3moGrYmyq_5iPqKRx8GXatLqyRLulw2wl3KRUqFrrNnoOlZFr_OPiHdjbF1HKzCGY3YtCRMxT1hgggEGdpvWDXfxTKImf3lN1yuOk_wwkudX_JlqYvpdpRMsZ9/s1600/48.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 267px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi8kq5jKaok7h86CTDWPX3moGrYmyq_5iPqKRx8GXatLqyRLulw2wl3KRUqFrrNnoOlZFr_OPiHdjbF1HKzCGY3YtCRMxT1hgggEGdpvWDXfxTKImf3lN1yuOk_wwkudX_JlqYvpdpRMsZ9/s400/48.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5472432882274885522" /></a><br /><br />The models look a bit like human Barbies to me.. which doesn't surprise me. When you are the likes of Galliano, you could dress them up as beggers and people would still buy his clothes.. maybe that will be the new kick. Size zero models because they're homeless. not just starving themselves on purpose.Sarah in the Cityhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08868645768718687131noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3901246825954857810.post-45261031723698755532010-05-16T22:47:00.001-07:002010-05-16T22:53:45.769-07:00It's call.. what??<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEixyYA5WOd4cWdNXm5XAoJyxMX5OJ_sW3f0uAbXQ-k-ND6vlnxkVeQi4gFCBBHn1U7eFuDLybfCmieRfoZxXuNZafqSHH6tNEHTc7Hh47N9c33QGGvoncqe1ZGi6xCS58XuM42SuoM1HHot/s1600/20100514_schitbag_250x375.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 250px; height: 375px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEixyYA5WOd4cWdNXm5XAoJyxMX5OJ_sW3f0uAbXQ-k-ND6vlnxkVeQi4gFCBBHn1U7eFuDLybfCmieRfoZxXuNZafqSHH6tNEHTc7Hh47N9c33QGGvoncqe1ZGi6xCS58XuM42SuoM1HHot/s400/20100514_schitbag_250x375.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5472113127122741202" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br />A press release about the Schitbag — a fanny pack with a shoulder strap — went around this week. "'Schitbag' IS THE NEW STATUS PURSE: Hands-Free Designer Belt Bag Fascinates Hollywood" the headline screamed. The release went on to describe the bag as "high-fashion," "sophisticated," body-contouring, and "providing sensuous elegance." There is nothing sensuous or elegant about its name, the origins of which the release failed to explain. Lauren Sherman notes on Fashionista, "I don’t care how it’s actually pronounced (assuming it’s skit-bag), it sounds like shitbag." Well, you know what they say, if it looks like it, swims like it, and is one letter away from it ... seriously now?Sarah in the Cityhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08868645768718687131noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3901246825954857810.post-66751001377616683092010-05-12T19:28:00.000-07:002010-05-12T19:41:38.538-07:00Gaga Gone??<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.topnews.in/light/files/Lady-Gaga54.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 720px; height: 485px;" src="http://www.topnews.in/light/files/Lady-Gaga54.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><br />So here's the deal. I'm not a huge celebrity gossip follower.. and i quite hate the people that go around and dedicate their lives to stalking them. I mean come on.. get your own life and stop caring more about other people's than your own. {pathetic} But every once in a while there are the rumors that really make you 'laugh out loud.' For instance, the other day my roommate and i were chatting while cooking dinner. She all of a sudden started laughing and said.. "Did you hear about <a href="http://www.ladygaga.com/alejandro/">Lady Gaga</a>?" Of course my response was no.. and she proceeded to tell me that Lady Gaga had cut off her own leg "because it was cool." At first i laughed... thinking why the heck anyone would do that.. but then again.. It's Lady Gaga.. Who knows what crazy stunts she'll do.. Quickly forgetting the conversation because our food was ready, i went to go eat. The next day i was thinking about that my roommate had said and decided to research a little bit online.. As i thought.. it is untrue.. She didn't cut off her leg for attention...<br /><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjI9RtB8Adi_4aA0jYSji-MeP3QwxuparGcuawiXmPvrNLyvjhMLx33aoX4w_wFtJnk5Dv5gieujYmG2HnUZcTY9rWu5ywWQLeKc9RLc1i1DQVetpgy93QNPt307eXxVltaMQLI8La0FcP3/s1600/img.php.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 126px; height: 200px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjI9RtB8Adi_4aA0jYSji-MeP3QwxuparGcuawiXmPvrNLyvjhMLx33aoX4w_wFtJnk5Dv5gieujYmG2HnUZcTY9rWu5ywWQLeKc9RLc1i1DQVetpgy93QNPt307eXxVltaMQLI8La0FcP3/s200/img.php.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5470576972082141074" /></a><br /><br />A bit ridiculous i think.. How could something like that even get attention? I guess she is known for crazy acts.. but seriously guys.. lets cut off your leg just to get attention! wahoo. <br /><br />Anyways. Love her.. and her crazy style.Why can't everyone be more accepting towards individuality?? It seems she is the only person that doesn't get trashed more than praised.You go girl!! Keep rocking it. xoxoSarah in the Cityhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08868645768718687131noreply@blogger.com0
