Just Had to Mention- Trends

February 4th, 2010

kiinda like the boot I sawside view of the boot i kinda saw

Well, that was not the photo I really wanted to show you, but I just had to mention that everyone in NYC seemed to be wearing black boots. With their skinny jeans tucked into them (doesn’t anyone suffer from foot claustrophobia?)

So I wish I had a better photo but in all my searching on the internet, no one seems to have captured these urban ladies in their footwear. I can’t say the boots were slouchy like the ones above. The important part is the notch in the back. This was ubiquitous. Why didn’t I snap a photo? You need to be following these trends! Oh wait, we’re at the tail end already.

Let me know when you think Dansko clogs are fixin’ to start a fashion buzz and I will do the Cabbage Patch.

Was The Note Necessary?

Saw this outside an office building this am.

The note says: “Out of Order”.

What’s It Look Like?

booth photo NYGift

A photo (well, a montage to be exact) of our booth at the New York Gift Show. I should have photos of our new jewelry up by the end of this week.

Tomorrow (Wednesday) is the last day. Closing at 5pm, and I imagine eating Chinese takeout around 7:30… we’ll see if that becomes a reality.

Postscript: I got home by 6:30, but I ate leftover enchiladas.

Dubai Metro Poster, Josh Cochran Illustrator

Great illustrations by Josh Cochran for a slightly bizarre ad campaign to promote the Dubai Metro.

Can’t put my finger on exactly what’s odd about it, though I surmise it’s the trendy western illustration style promoting ‘women and children only cabins’–go take a look for yourself.
