We are participating in a walkathon with our dogs Ariel and Kobe to fund-raise for the Humane Society of Silicon Valley. Since it is coming up this weekend, we are pushing extra hard to achieve our goals! If you can help out, please visit my Walker Page I only have $100 more to go to reach my goal!
Here are some pics of Ariel and Kobe for motivation ;)
Ariel is just waiting for the walk to start!
Kobe is also waiting to go!
Just some things I saw on the H&M website that looked really cute.
I created this Look Book at hm.com from my favourite holiday fashions. Visit hm.com to see even more, or create your own!
If you're not exactly a shoe person, then I'd advise you to stop right here. For everyone else who drools over Louboutin's and et al, like I do, please read on...
Do you often get pulled into the hype of styles and brands from the big screen?
Take the movie "Twilight" for instance, whose character Bella's blue cargo-style jacket with a "faux-layered" hoodie is now available for purchase at fredflare.com (pictured to the left).
I was very tempted to get this jacket, I will admit.
But I don't think I'm the only one.
How often have you seen a purse/ jacket/ shoes/ cellphone in a movie and you just had to have it?
(Don't lie, I saw you bite your lip)
Combining big screen marketing with the vastly increasing resources on the web, you can find that "gottahavit" obsession in a matter of minutes (or seconds depending on how fast you type).
Although this realm of marketing is quite genius, it can at times, be over done. There's the obvious brand showcasing of cars in every action flick chase scene (though I'm sure some guys were drooling over the A8 in Transporter 3), or emblazoning the "All-American" soda brand across 747's at take off (does it make you thirsty?).
Either way, I'd still bet my pretty penny that the pre-dotcom star-struck would've loved to know where to get their rare sought-after items reminiscent of the silver screen.
YES! I finally started a lil shop for my crafts:

There isn't much yet, but keep checking!
My photography skills aren't the best but I have a feeling I'll be practicing a lot! =P
Well drop by and check it out for now and let me know what you think.
I still need a real banner, since I'm just using the clouds up there for now. It's all a work in progress but it'll come together soon!
If anyone has any requests for projects, anything you'd like to see? Let me know! I'd love ideas on what to make, I always get overwhelmed with my overactive imagination and can't make up my mind on my next project!
Thanks to all two of you who read this old gal of a blog!
