vintage plaid bag [Indie Style File]

vintage plaid bag [Indie Style File]

This plaid bag from Sugar Toatigami is described as vintage and I think that means that it’s crafted from vintage fabric, a great process that I am glad more designers are using. ($32)
I’ve seen crafted from vintage fabric vests and more at Urban Outfitters and tons of similar looks at etsy and other indie shopping meccas. I hope it’s a trend that continues.

How Come Women Don’t Read Magazines On The Internet? [The Future]

How Come Women Don’t Read Magazines On The Internet? [The Future]
You may be aware that Conde Nast is the big publishing company responsible for most of our very most treasured women’s magazines - - Vogue, Teen Vogue, Glamour, Allure, Self, W, etc. etc. — and that those very women’s magazines, thanks to their huge circulations and all the companies with revolutionary new anti-aging serums and logo-purses they want to tell women about, are the proverbial “cash cows” of the magazine business. But a story in the Wall Street Journal reveals those same magazines are not the cash cows of Conde Nast’s internet business — farrr from it! The company’s top two magazine websites are Wired and Portfolio — and Portfolio just launched! — with Brides, Self and Vogue “online home” Style.com trailing in the distance with well under a million monthly unique visitors apiece. So what’s the problem? Why can’t they get a small fraction of their alleged readers to visit their websites once a month? Don’t women read the internet? And even if they don’t, isn’t the internet the future? By which I mean, isn’t the internet the present? Actually not! Says CondeNet CEO Sarah Chubb to the Wall Street Journal of all those magazine websites:

Their main purpose is a consumer-marketing purpose, a connection for the consumer to the brand. The reason for those sites first and foremost is renewing and selling subscriptions.

Reader Mail: The OTK Gossip Girl Dilemma

Reader Mail: The OTK Gossip Girl Dilemma

In today’s Reader Mail:


Hi BS,

I am a 20-something creative career girl in love with over the knee socks (I claim it comes from too much Gossip Girl viewing). Is there a work-appropriate way to wear OTK’s without look too school-girly? My office work attire is creative/pretty much anything goes, but I don’t want to look too young or un-professional.

Thanks!
Sarah

MILFs [Baby Blabber]
Pregnancy: Now with more unrealistic expectations! Maxim has just posted a slide show of the “9 Hottest Pregnant Women Ever.” (Sample text on Heidi Klum: “She was making maternity clothes look like Victoria´s Secret outfits…with crotch pads.”) In somewhat related news, Christina Aguliera, who is near the top of Maxim’s gross list, has posed nude for the January issue of Marie Claire, looking vaguely demented in the face. We thought you weren’t supposed to do ‘ludes when you’re preggo? [Maxim, Market Wire]

FINALLY - My Interview With Michael DeVellis of The Powder Group!

FINALLY - My Interview With Michael DeVellis of The Powder Group!

Click here to listen to my interview with Michael DeVellis:
Michael DeVellis Interview

I know this is now 2 weeks + late and I apologize immensely!! It’s my fault for thinking that it would be easy to edit it in an audio program (Logic Pro for those of you that are familiar or are AV nerds! lol). I finally was able to work out the kinks (with the help of my hubby) and finished the final edit. I thought you guys would appreciate hearing Michael DeVellis, founder of The Powder Group, speak than me translating it in a long blog especially since he’s just so interesting to listen to. I interviewed him at The Canadian Makeup Show the weekend of November 10 and 11. His interview is full of background info of how the makeup scene was 10 years ago and where it is now and how The Powder Group has helped shape the makeup artist community.

So, just to rant a little more about my editing project, I was disappointed to find out that part of my interview was lost because I think my recorder ran out of space! I thought I had been recording but I was not even though what did get recorded was 52 minutes long! Can you imagine how long it actually was?? I’m really bummed about that. But what I did manage to capture was still full of insightful information and inspiration! You’ll have to excuse my girly giggles and a lot of “yahs”. I kind of forgot I was interviewing him and felt like we were just casually chatting. He’s just so intriguing to listen to. I hope you enjoy listening to the interview as much as I enjoyed interviewing him. I saw Michael again at Industry Cosmetics this past Sunday for Billy B.’s seminar. I can’t wait to post about the awesome makeup tips Billy gave! So stay tuned for that as well! Thank you Michael for the amazing interview and sorry for the lateness!
