Would You Buy That?



Humans interact with marketing and advertising more than they do with other humans. After that fact, I thinks the field deserves some attention.

I managed to find some really cool adversing blogs that find the most amazing ads. I've never seen these ads in real life, but I'm pretty sure they're real. If not, who gives a shit!? They're amazing.

Super Cool Website Numero Uno...

Phenomenal Jaw Dropping Ad Site Numero Dos...

Now follow me on some of my own adventures in advertising. In other words, some cool ads I found in my magazines. A few decades too late, I figured out how to use my printer as a scanner and I went scan-happy. Enjoy! 


HOTTTTTTTTT!!! I had to put this in here. come on.



The kissing in this ad is so delicious and I don't even know what they're selling.


This is just soooo darn cool. I'm sorry, I'm a sucker for colors.


Can you spot Issac Mizrahi!? He's hidden in each of his new ads. 


*swoon* How beautiful is Raquel Zimmerman in this ad!? As much of a genius Oscar and his clothes are, she makes the ad.


And of course the pure Ed Westwick ad. Need I say why?

Stockings, Sequins, Stella, Oh My!

Are these leggings not phenomenal!?

I've fallen victim to the sequin trend which has always been one of those things in my book that is taboo and tacky, up there with gingham, animal prints, and rhinestones. However, I'm obsessed. 

I'm convinced it was Serena Van Der Woodsen on Gossip Girl that changed my mind and the minds of fashionistas everywhere. In the pilot, she wore the coolest Alice and Olivia dress, back when she was under the radar, and it was a cascade of gold sequins that made her look STUNNING. Not that that's hard to do. 

Anyway, to be trendy today will cost you $1,495 at Net-A-Porter.com.

Oh, the woes of working a retail job. 

Keep going to check out what the leggings look like ON someone, the lovely, leggy net-a-porter mannequins.

*Mag-Hags* ~ TeenVogue April/09


With teenvouge, its usually an all-or-nothing-hit-or-miss. With this issue, it was a hit. Especially the following spread, which includes my new Marc by Marc Jacobs dress. I'm also a HUGE fan of the military look. I don't know what it is, don't ask me, but it is just so fab and cute with a little dress and some oxfords. If only military jackets didn't cost so much!

NEW JCREW: Guard Your Wristlets

Jcrew just premiered their spring line and I ADORE it! Here are a few of my favorites that I'm going to have a problem deciding between...

Love the sleeve detail. Ruffles are my kryptonite. 

SEA FOAM. 'nuff said. And it only costs $59.99! Hello recession my BFFL.

Not a pink person, but this dress is too cute to turn down. Plus, a twist and a halter like that do wonders to anyone's boobs. 

Thought it was cool. Not my first purchase, but definitely noteworthy. 

My friend Kyle says I practically own this type of dress three times over. Oh well, why deny a good dress cut? God knows they're harder to find than fashion savvy boys. God bless you, Kyle.

Again, ruffles, Je t'aime


These shoes are both adorable, why not have both!




I though this was a nice one to end with. Beautiful and her outfit is so effortlessly flawless. Don't even get me started on the crewcuts. Can I adopt a kid now!?

I Want To Be A Part Of It - New York, New York

Living so close to New York, you'd think I'd take every chance I get to go visit the greatest city on earth. Alas, no, I went once, and that was last Saturday. My british friends Zoe and Tom and I got up, took the 6:30 am bus there and the 11:30 pm bus.

That's a total of 13 hours we had in NYC. Heaven.

Tom wanted to see the city so we did a crash course in NYC tourism. Our itinerary goes as follows.

Topshop, scoop, canal street, little Italy (including a mini-lunch at a cafe), central park, plaza hotel, apple store, fao schwartz, Bendels, Tiffany's, St. Patricks Cathedral (maybe that's what it's called, I'm not really sure), Rockafeller Center, NBC store, Magnolia Bakery, Times Square, Dinner at starlight diner, M&M place, times square (again), sephora, toys 'r us, brooklyn bridge, stock exchange, bryant park/NYPL.

Phew.

We did this ALL in one day.

Here's proof:

Madison Square Garden!!!

Rockafeller Center

Zoe and I made friends with this lovely unicorn in FAO Schwartz

Apple store. Come on, it's really cool.

Tom and I looking sharp in Topshop.

Yes, this actually was happening.

*Designer Discovery* - Mulberry



So British fashion has got to be my favorite. No one blows you away like Viv and McQ and Harrods anyone? I mean add the Victoria and Albert Museum's Fashion exhibit and awesomeness that is British Vogue and London is my fashion haven.

So it was no surprise that when I stumbled upon this not so little brand Mulberry I learned it was born and bred across the pond.

They are famous for their bags but their womenswear line? *swoon* Its phenom' and I'm not all mouth and trousers (british for talking bullshit).

The dresses are short with flowy prints and the color palate is divine and the jackets are sweet but edgy leather numbers that even the most catholic school girls can pull off. To top it off, it not only a curate's egg, everything is posh and cute together and apart. Granted, it might not be cheap as chips, but a piece or two is totally worth it.

So I advise you break your duck and buy something british for once. I know, its so out of the way, but there are boutiques in Long Island and Manhattan ripe for the pickings. I'm going off my rocker for this shit. Take a look at some of my favorites. It's the full monty, no lie.

For England!


This boot makes me want to pull a Kiera Knightly and stand, hunched over in the British Countryside with a white dress falling off of me. I find that appealing at least.


Spotlight on the purple leather jacket! Snatch that shit.


This is flawless. I want this. 'Nuff said.


SPOTLIGHT on this wicked adorable jacket.


Even the smallest revival of Chloe circa the 60's gets me all a twitter.


It's like the edgy version of myself I never knew. And she's here to stay.
