misnomers
After several failed attempts to log into this account, I realized that maybe I've been away from this little pet of mine too long. Oh, I can make excuses about schoolwork and my boring life and yet, somehow, being too busy...but you know that's all bull.But the real reason I wanted to come back today is to talk about Samantha Thavasa, a Japanese designer company (not person) that is soon taking the US by storm. Guest designers include Paris&Nicky Hilton, Posh Spice, Tinsley Mortimer, Beyonce, Maria Sharapova--though I'm not too sure whether or not some of them are just spokesmodels and not really designers.
I'd known about ST a few years ago when I first started reading the Japanese magazine Ef. After doing some research online, I discovered that ST's handbags/accessories/jewelry was limited to Japan, and was not available anywhere else despite using both American and British celebrities in their advertisements. My mom started asking friends and relatives in Taiwan about it, but alas...Japanese Limited was Japanese Limited.
In November 2006, Samantha Thavasa opened up a store in NYC. When I saw this in an issue of Vogue, I had Karl take me into the city the very next day; and as a supportive and wise boyfriend, he willing took me (as long as we got to watch Pan's Labyrinth). At first, I wasn't 100% certain that the store even existed. The number on Google addresses turned out to be the fax, and the store was so new it didn't even have its own website yet. Nevertheless, I was willing to take the chance and walked my ass down Madison Ave.
The store was small, and the selection even smaller than I'd expected. To my dismay, they didn't carry any jewelry from the Samantha Tiara collection, and most of the bags were "Americanized" and thus stripped of its original girly cuteness. But man!--the service there was amazing. I knocked over one handbag after another in my excited frenzy, and this really polite saleslady just cleaned up behind me while apologizing profusely.
Finally, I settled on a pink and gray bag with a metal and leather chain and tweed/plaid bottom. I should probably post a picture of it at some point, since it's really hard to describe. For now, just think Japanese/British fusion. The only reservation I had against buying it was that the top is almost completely open. As the saleslady explained, in Japan, people don't really pickpocket, so having a bag with an open top isn't a big deal. However, as someone who grew up in
(Wow, I just wrote a lot about one bag. This will be the only time I do this, promise. Next post will be about something really really profound, seriously.)
So, to summarize...if you're one of those people who are sick of LV or Dior or Coach, and don't want to drop a few grand on a MiuMiu/Prada or Chanel--go for Samantha Thavasa, especially while the prices are still reasonable. ST is a lot like Juicy Couture in the sense that it's ultra-girlyand no one really carries it above the age of 25. The store seems to only carry a few items of each product; as it turns out, I had bought the last one in my style, which is NY Limited. So if you like novelty, and not carrying the same bag as everyone else, take a trip to NY while the trains are free (22nd-28th) and treat yourself to something that only select American celebrities and handbag junkies covet and adore.

The majority of people do not have any idea about what is possible with [url=http://cungmuahotdeal.com/thoi-trang.html]Thoi trang nam[/url], and we really are talking about the range of effects. Like so many other things, you have to evaluate what you are working with and weigh them against each other. It is not hard to learn more about this, and you can potentially save yourself some headaches by doing so. You will be able to make the best judgements when you are confident you have all you need to know. You need to know what you are working with, so here are some areas within this subject you should take the time to consider.
The relative complexities of men's and women's fashion
Both men and women could have the demands of maintaining their wardrobe up-to-date and in time, yet men's fashion often feels a lot less complicated. Of program, for both genders, clothes and style choices could be quite as intricate, and there are many'cool'things that could quickly become fashion faux pas - who is able to say they often see people travelling in 70s flares? On the other hand, men's fashion includes a few choice goods that will exist forever - which man is planning to watch out of place with a good-quality, tailored suit, for instance? Pick traditional cuts, colours and materials and you'll never seem out-of-place.
Why classic men's style is timeless
The common man's suit has scarcely changed for over a hundred years. True, there are many types for different events, but they are all popular in their search for a wise, sharp try to find the person. The good thing about common fashion for men is that it is effectively trendy effectively neat. A well-groomed man will more often than not appear his sharpest in a well-tailored suit, and it is a testament to the design of such clothing. A suit will be used to work in many careers due to the professional look it offers to the person, instilling a sense of respect and trust. Equally a suit will undoubtedly be used to several social functions, such as a tuxedo to a black-tie affair. This extraordinary versatility that allows suits to be worn in virtually all occasions is what gives it its eternal border and a permanent devote men's fashion.
Modern trends in traditional men's style
Although basic men's designs can never be changed, it's interesting to remember that changes in men's fashion trends have brought certain common clothes back in fashion. The reputation of vintage clothing, specially, has brought back a wide-variety of basic models into men's closets, such as that of the dandy guy. 'Dandy'is a term used to make reference to men who dress yourself in a classic yet elegant way, placing value on appearance and operating in a polished method. This tendency for almost'over-the-top'classic fashion for men is apparent from events including the'Tweed Run', wherever men and women of all ages dress yourself in significantly Victorian-style attire and take to the streets on vintage cycles - with many of the men sporting flawless mustaches! This is only one of several examples of evidence presenting the resurgence of such variations. There are also numerous sites on the web which concentrate on gentlemanly type - such as'The Dandy Project'and'Dandyism'- as well as entire internet sites such as'The Art of Manliness'dedicated to providing articles on common men's fashion and grooming.
In summary, though specific issues with basic men's fashion could be cut back as new developments, the fundamental clothes that they are based on will never slip out of fashion.
