But as symbols of power, each resonates differently with different cultures, as cultures nurture different views of what is desirable and meaningful to do with power, as per new research by a University of Illinois marketing expert........ ]]> http://www.fashion-deals.com/blogs/permalinks/1-2010/carousel-week-ending-15th-january1602010.html http://www.fashion-deals.com/blogs/permalinks/1-2010/carousel-week-ending-15th-january1602010.html Wed, 20 Oct 2010 13:47:09 GMT My favourite things on the internet… this week, ......... ]]> http://www.fashion-deals.com/blogs/permalinks/6-2009/the-costume-insitute-gala-2009.html http://www.fashion-deals.com/blogs/permalinks/6-2009/the-costume-insitute-gala-2009.html Mon, 01 Jun 2009 23:41:20 GMT Sadly, there was no Naomi this year because of the Azzedine Alaïa boycott but there were still plenty of pretty brown folk in attendance.

Alek Wek was a stunner in her brightly colored cocktail dress and Iman was glamourous as usual (even though I feel like I"ve seen this style of dress on her a hundred times before.) Ciara went the demure route which was fine (but a bit dull in my opinion.) Tyra"s hair reminds me of a cinnamon roll, Kanye and Amber were all smiles and while I generally love her look, I think her dress looks a little too snug. Meanwhile post-Chris Rihanna bit Janelle ......... ]]> http://www.fashion-deals.com/blogs/permalinks/12-2007/lulu-and-red-bubble-jacket.html http://www.fashion-deals.com/blogs/permalinks/12-2007/lulu-and-red-bubble-jacket.html Thu, 13 Dec 2007 03:31:57 GMT While others are drooling over capes, military style jackets and duvet coats, we’re secretly lusting after this bubble jacket by Lulu and Red. Isn’t it just gorgeous? The ribbon detail adds a cute touch to what has got to be one of the finer jackets around at the moment. Granted it’s unlikely to keep us warm and cozy, especially with these ruthless winds. But it is a keeper for spring. £55 available at Lulu and ......... ]]> http://www.fashion-deals.com/blogs/permalinks/9-2007/lets-get-crafty.html http://www.fashion-deals.com/blogs/permalinks/9-2007/lets-get-crafty.html Fri, 28 Sep 2007 01:57:20 GMT Free People is having another

Anyway, the point is that the swap should make for a good time, and you should sign up for it! We might even end up being swap partners! ]]> http://www.fashion-deals.com/blogs/permalinks/3-2007/kiera-strolls-with-beau-on-22nd-birthday.html http://www.fashion-deals.com/blogs/permalinks/3-2007/kiera-strolls-with-beau-on-22nd-birthday.html Thu, 29 Mar 2007 03:48:41 GMT At a very young age, Kiera Knightley already had a very successful Hollywood career to her credit. It was refreshing to see the young Hollywood starlet celebrating her 22nd birthday with beau Rupert Friend, strolling through Hyde ......... ]]> http://www.fashion-deals.com/blogs/permalinks/3-2007/fake-gucci-ad.html http://www.fashion-deals.com/blogs/permalinks/3-2007/fake-gucci-ad.html Fri, 23 Mar 2007 01:16:32 GMT few years back, I bought ad space in magazines for Matador. To place an ad, I'd call an ad rep, reserve the space, and send them artwork. Shortly after the ad came out, they'd send me a copy of the ad along with a bill. So I was psyched to see someone making creative use of this system: A guy in Switzerland, pretending to be a representative from Gucci, called up a weekly paper and reserved a two-page spread. He then sent in a fake ad of himself naked from the waist up, flanked by a bottle of Gucci fragrance. When the bill went to Gucci as he requested, hilarity ensued........ ]]> http://www.fashion-deals.com/blogs/permalinks/2-2007/virtual-makeup.html http://www.fashion-deals.com/blogs/permalinks/2-2007/virtual-makeup.html Fri, 23 Mar 2007 01:16:32 GMT The video screen shown in the picture above surely can't answer the question, ". who's the fairest of them all?" However, if you need to know what kind of makeup you would require to give that title a shot, without actually applying any of it, the "Virtual Realtime Makeup System" is for you. All you need to do first is to stand in front of the screen that takes a snap of your face. Then just pick up the cosmetics that you think will work for you, and as and when you scan their electronic tags, you can see their results on your face instantly in the video screen. To get a better perspective, both the "before" and "after" pictures are displayed side by side........ ]]> http://www.fashion-deals.com/blogs/permalinks/12-2006/americas-next-top-model.html http://www.fashion-deals.com/blogs/permalinks/12-2006/americas-next-top-model.html Fri, 23 Mar 2007 01:16:32 GMT It's not a big surprise that Caridee has won America's Next Top Model. But it was still a tight final. The girls of ANTM were judged on how well they strutted on the runway, how well they wore makeup, and how well they composed themselves in various photo shoots. Eugenia is gorgeous but she barely took a great photo. Bah-bye. That left Caridee and Melrose to hash it out. No one can stand Melrose, but she's obviously done her modeling 101 homework and rarely takes a professional misstep. She rocked the final catwalk! But Caridee aced the final photo shoot and commercial........ ]]> http://www.fashion-deals.com/blogs/permalinks/12-2006/are-you-a-stella-lover.html http://www.fashion-deals.com/blogs/permalinks/12-2006/are-you-a-stella-lover.html Fri, 23 Mar 2007 01:16:32 GMT Stella McCartney is a fashion designer who launched her own fashion house under her name in a joint venture with Gucci Group. As well as the women's ready-to-wear range, the label now includes accessories, eyewear and the 'Stella' fragrance. If you're a Stella lover then you'll enjoy today's Handbag.com Christmas gift giveaway.

Fruit growers have been training trees to shape since we don't know when, and furniture has been made of wood for thousands of years, so why not train trees to make furniture? I've proved that it can be done. All you need are three saplings, a plywood jig, instructions and a little patience........ ]]> http://www.fashion-deals.com/blogs/permalinks/11-2006/recycling-the-aloha-spirit.html http://www.fashion-deals.com/blogs/permalinks/11-2006/recycling-the-aloha-spirit.html Fri, 23 Mar 2007 01:16:32 GMT We are kicking off a week of island style shop reviews (just try to say that fast!) to brighten your chilly fall courtesy of Leigh, the island gal behind hapa | hale, a blog devoted to modern and fresh finds from Hawaii. Muumuu heaven is the modern island girl's secret of what to wear on aloha friday. lucky for us, designer deb mascia discovered her passion for deconstructing vintage hawaiian wear and transforming more matronly muumuus into her signature flirty skirts that are being worn from hawaii to hollywood. you never have to worry about bumping into someone else wearing the same piece since everything at muumuu heaven is one-of-a-kind. and you can feel good that you are shopping consciously since the family run business participates in 1% for the planet and donates a percentage of their sales to help preserve hawaii's coral reefs........ ]]> http://www.fashion-deals.com/blogs/permalinks/11-2006/productive-fun-with-wacoms-cintiq.html http://www.fashion-deals.com/blogs/permalinks/11-2006/productive-fun-with-wacoms-cintiq.html Fri, 23 Mar 2007 01:16:32 GMT Kevin Kelley recently picked up a 21 inch Cintiq drawing display, and he's in love with it. The Wacom Cintiq is an LCD monitor with a touch screen sensor embedded over the image. Essentially it's a cross between a graphic artist's drawing tablet and an LCD monitor. Differing from standard touch screen monitors is the 1024 levels of pressure sensitivity that the input area is able to discern, and the unique "pen on paper" texture of dragging a pen across the surface. Kelly bought his $2,500 Cintiq on the recommendation of artist Scott McCloud who has said that the input method made him more productive, and completely eliminated the symptoms of his hand strain malady........ ]]> http://www.fashion-deals.com/blogs/permalinks/10-2006/october-it-girl-kate-moss.html http://www.fashion-deals.com/blogs/permalinks/10-2006/october-it-girl-kate-moss.html Fri, 23 Mar 2007 01:16:32 GMT I never used to care much for Kate Moss. Ok, maybe I was a bit fascinated by what Johnny Depp saw in her during their tumultuous relationship, but mostly I was very confused with the attention given to the waif of all waifs. Ever since Kate's life exploded in Sept 2005, when she was caught "powdering her nose" with an illegal substance, there seems to be more depth to her. She was dumped by HandM and other major contracts, but a year later the waifish style icon's comeback has seen her profile reach new heights........ ]]> http://www.fashion-deals.com/blogs/permalinks/9-2006/london-fashion-week-2007.html http://www.fashion-deals.com/blogs/permalinks/9-2006/london-fashion-week-2007.html Fri, 23 Mar 2007 01:16:32 GMT The week of the London fashion has concluded and begins that from Milan one. Not even a moment of pause for the footbridges that are ollowed phrenetic. Here the last ones paraded of London, in attended of Milan.

It's just like discovering a secret antique boutique with room after room crammed with delicious finds. Best of all most prices are under andand#35;36;50 (we found plenty at andand#35;36;20 to andand#35;36;30) and the variety is endless. Carol Baker has been running her online vintage business since 1997 and is very picky about the fashions she sells. Each item has a large photo with detailed descriptions including condition, fabric and measurements and Carol will glady answer any questions about the garments........ ]]> http://www.fashion-deals.com/blogs/permalinks/8-2006/biodegradable-dinnerware.html http://www.fashion-deals.com/blogs/permalinks/8-2006/biodegradable-dinnerware.html Fri, 23 Mar 2007 01:16:32 GMT It's true, I don't host a number of brunches or entertain a lot from home, but if I did, I would definitely get these biodegradable dinnerware sets, not just because they are attractive (call me boring, but I hate paper plates with designs on them, particularly seasonal and holiday themes), but because they are made of 100% biodegradable, compostable sugar cane fiber, and the utensils are made of 80% potato starch and 20% vegetable oil........ ]]> http://www.fashion-deals.com/blogs/permalinks/8-2006/madonna-faces-arrest-over-concert-stunt.html http://www.fashion-deals.com/blogs/permalinks/8-2006/madonna-faces-arrest-over-concert-stunt.html Fri, 23 Mar 2007 01:16:32 GMT The Hung Up singer could be arrested when she performs in Germany on Sunday if she goes ahead with the much-criticised routine. Dusseldorf police have warned the singer that she could be in breach of their "insulting religious beliefs" law and they will be in the crowd ready to act if she attempts the stunt........ ]]> http://www.fashion-deals.com/blogs/permalinks/8-2006/kodak-pianos-buick-aspirin.html http://www.fashion-deals.com/blogs/permalinks/8-2006/kodak-pianos-buick-aspirin.html Fri, 23 Mar 2007 01:16:32 GMT Ever heard of Kodak pianos? How about Buick aspirin? While most consumers may correctly infer that these products are not made by the same companies that make the cameras or the automobiles, a new study in the recent issue of the Journal of Consumer Research presents compelling evidence that well-known brand names are weakened by the existence of imitative brand names even in different product categories. The process is known as trademark dilution........ ]]> http://www.fashion-deals.com/blogs/permalinks/7-2006/bird-house-for-purple-martins.html http://www.fashion-deals.com/blogs/permalinks/7-2006/bird-house-for-purple-martins.html Fri, 23 Mar 2007 01:16:32 GMT Watch the mosquito eating frenzy begin!
