Scare tactics?


The other day I bought the new Elle. I enjoy this magazine because I find that it has alot of interesting articles and trend reports, however I have noticed that now more than ever there are so many articles telling you to start perventing aging once you pass 20. I am 21 and I feel like I'm being scared into this trend of buying anti-aging cream and everything else they are trying to sell to me. I don't know what to do, which to buy, it's like we get bombarded with these type of scare adds. If I don't use the products being advertised does that mean I'll grow up to be plagued with bad skin and wrinkles. I just feel that its not right for the advertising companies to prey on our fears of aging so that we will buy their products.

Keith Richards for Louis Vuitton



I recently came across this ad and thought it was amazing so I decided to do a post about it even though the ad was out by last April. This campaign was created to show travel as the fundamental value of Louis Vuitton, interpreting it as a personal journey and a process of self-discovery. The tagline that can be seen in the second picture states: "Some journeys cannot be put into words. New York. 3 am. Blues in C." I think that Keith Richards definitely represents a personal and emotional journey so choosing him seems like a great choice to me.
So I was wondering, what do you guys think of using celebrities to promote a brand?

Travel Wallets

Everybody loves travelling! Many also have travel wallets, meaning wallets especially made to carry credit cards, a passeport, a boarding pass and other compartments. They can be found anywhere. Some designers also sell travel wallets but the ones made by Louis Vuitton are really nice. These wallets really come in handy when you're often in a plane. So why not having a trendy one? We can find the LV ones in the colors shown in the picture. They can be bought for565$ (meaning you better travel a lot) on louisvuitton.com

Enjoy the flight!

Style made Affordable



For the past five years now, Target has been teaming up with the newest designers to create affordable and stylish pieces, at reasonable prices. Design collaborations have included Behnaz Sarafpour, Richard Chai, Jovovich Hawk, and Patrick Robinson, among other youthful designers. Recently, Target has established their own line based on previous teamings, to create the new Target Go International Line", in which they roll out a number of new items each season. These items are usually priced from around ten to fourty dollars, and include dresses, pants, jackets, denim etc. With the economy falling into a recession, fashionistas can flock to the nearest Target (unfortunately not a franchise in Canada yet) and stock up on some of these great designer alternatives!
