    I’ve wanted to write this review for a while, but I could not find the words to accurately describe my feelings towards Dolce and Gabbana’s spring/summer ‘09 collection. On the one hand, every outfit showcased on the runway looked so damn smooth. All of the clothes were perfectly fitted (as is expected) and the material of the clothing shining from the stage looked like a silky satin.

    Hands-free is the Way to Be: Bluetooth Headsets Get Trendy

    Thanks to the wonderful new California driving laws that are coming into effect next week (July 1), us Californians better be looking for a way to handle our phone business hands-free. If you already have a bluetooth headset, good for you. As for me, I still need to find one, ’cause my Hondaleeza Rice Rocket is literally where I have 75% of my phone conversations.

    If you’re scratching your heads going, “What new laws?!” just know that you will be mercilessly ticketed if you’re holding a cell phone anywhere near your ears, because the California Highway Patrol WILL enforce aggressively. The San Jose Mercury News has more on this issue

    How would you describe your
    MARC by Marc Jacobs Fall collection?
    The collection has an early 80’s punk/club vibe.
    This season we were playing more with the idea of dress-up rather than a casual/street look.

    And your favorite fabrics?
    My favorite fabrics are in bold patterns of stripes, checks, plaids, and oversized houndstooth
    patterns. Fabrics are often bonded to give more
    of a sculptured shape, which adds to their impact.

     

    They Can Smell You A Mile Away

    Some fashion is just utterly predictable. Utterly predictable in the sense that it can tell other people what you’re all about. Ok, it might not tell the whole story of what you’re about. But for some people, what you wear is enough for people to make their snap judgments and decide whether or not they want to further know what you’re about or if they’ve had enough. First impressions are everything and sometimes that doesn’t include conversation. That’s why the power of fashion should never be underestimated. I’m not saying that you should be dressed up everywhere you go, although some people hold that as a rule and always look respectable. However, one should know the type of signals he/she is sending with his/her clothes. If you look like a bum, acknowledge that you look like a bum and do not be surprised if people treat you like nothing more. I know I’ve had my fair share of disheveled days. Fashion signals are not always this obvious.

    Here’s an example.
