Holiday Wardrobe Wish List
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!
The Choo Obsession
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...
Yes, it's the mid-hours of a work day, but when I caught sight of this in my email, I just had to do a quick post about it because I'm so excited!
Jimmy Choo will be collaborating with H&M and the collection will be available Nov. 14th, that's this fall!
Any girl that doesn't make a 6+ figure salary would understand that it's hard to look good without breaking the bank. In light of this soaring demand of "Fashion for Less", famous designers have been joining with more affordable mass-producers to offer the general public great styles for less, such as Alexander McQueen or Paul & Joe for Target., and now Jimmy Choo for H&M!
What makes this Choo/H&M combo even more exciting is they are going incoporate clothing designs into their collection and will also include shoes, bags and accessories for men as well!
If you'd like to read more about it, see this press release from H&M.
Styles from the Big Screen, part 1
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.
I will leave you with another item from Fredflare.com:
Holly Golighty's sleep mask, as seen in "Breakfast at Tiffany's"
Mini Shop is OPEN!
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!
