Tribal DVF

This ad for DVF from Bloomingdale's caught my eye...its trendy tribal theme exudes a mix of web-like prints interlaced with funky beading, and exotic colors.  The bracelets are positioned just right, as the more angular one is closest to the face, which brings out the model's strong features and choppy bangs.  See the entire ad at Bloomingdales.com. -SBG

Old Coffee vs. New Coffee

 

Readers, you know I love my morning 'Bucks...so I had to write on this...

There's such an uproar about Starbuck's Seattle's Best Coffee company's new label/logo (the one on the right).   Out of over 2,000 polled, 68% of folks think this should be a 'do-over'...saying it resembles the logo that a blood bank may use.   One person claimed that a Highschool student could have come up with a better design idea.  

The word is, the company was looking to make an even more generic logo, as they plan to expand their distribution to more outlets including Burger King and AMC Theaters. They are intending for their logo to represent great coffee all over the world.    

What says you? Should they have just stuck to the old mantra...If it aint broke, dont fix it?

Wedge Love

While I've never been much of a fan...for some reason, this season wedges have totally grown on me. I'm actually considering copping a few pairs. What do you think? What is a decent height for a person to look nice in a pair of chunky shoes? :) -SBG

Jersey Exports: Ann and Kirby 'Tura' Kenny

These twin Jersey girls are on their way to being the talk of Fall 2010...For reasons that I admit I do understand, coming from knowledge of what's considered, the 'high-fashion model' look in the industry...However, although I am, "thatskinnybrowngirl" I still get that twinge in my side from seeing extraordinarily thin girls in spreads or on the runway, labeled as the next best thing.  Some women do have a healthy "skinny" shape by nature, true...but then their are some that do anything and everything to look thin, but just end up looking gaunt and sickly.  It seems as though even now, Victoria's Secret is showing models that seem ridiculously thinner than usual...where are the Tyra Banks of the world?  Even the beautiful Heidi Klum was labeled, "the Body." I mean...  C''Mon Son. -SBG

Prints by Holly Fulton

Check out these amazing print dominated pieces by Elle's New Designer for 2010 winner, Holly Fulton.  I was flipping through the Sarah Jessica Parker Vogue, and came across the amazing jacket below. This season is all about mixing and matching different prints, even if they look odd together from the naked eye, and Holly does just that with her ode to 90's pop style prints and sprinklings of bright warm colors.  In reality, the stranger these prints look together, the more graphically appealing to me.  Make your own judgements though, and let me know what you think! -SBG
