SPRING 2010 ADVERTISEMENTS

Let me start off by saying that I am experimenting with the no caps thing. I am not happy about it as I actually write in all caps in real life. But at the end of the day, if no one can read the blog, then what the hell is the point.

Since fourth grade I have been making inspiration books composed of magazine tear-outs. I have a binder for each year since 1994 and nothing makes me happier than looking back on old advertisements. Sure, Tavi (for the record, I think she's great) posted pictures from her new Prada book of the Spring 2000 ad campaign with the lipstick skirts, but does she actually have it? Well, I do. I'm not bragging or anything, but as a 9 year old I was way ahead of my time and should be an inspiration to fashion icons everywhere.

Every season I look forward to the new ads and can't help but wonder what I will think of them in the years to come. Looks fade, designers go bankrupt, and magazines disappear, but the pages enclosed within sheet protectors and labeled by designer, magazine, year, and season...well those will last forever.

CHRISTMAS EVE

IT'S NOT EASY BEING A JEW ON CHRISTMAS EVE. IT'S EVEN HARDER TO NOT BE A JEWISH STEREOTYPE ON CHRISTMAS EVE. TONIGHT I WENT SHOPPING FOR MYSELF, WATCHED 2 (WORKING ON 3) MOVIES, AND ATE A FALAFEL AND HUMMUS PLATTER. YUP, IT'S BEGINNING TO LOOK A LOT LIKE CHRISTMAS.

THIS MORNING WAS A VERY DIFFERENT STORY. DURING THE MONTH OF DECEMBER, NEW YORK SEEMS TO RADIATE A FEELING OF WARMTH AND LOVE. OUR CITY, WHICH HAS THE UNDESERVED REPUTATION OF BEING UNFRIENDLY, SUDDENLY SEEMS LIKE A DIFFERENT KIND OF TOWN. TODAY, IT WAS SOMEWHAT (SOMEWHAT..) OF A PLEASURE TO WAKE UP AND GET MY DAY STARTED. MARIAH CAREY'S "ALL I WANT FOR CHRISTMAS" BLASTED THROUGH MY HEADPHONES AS I DRANK MY PEPPERMINT MOCHA. CHRISTMAS WAS SO CLOSE I COULD TASTE IT, AND IT TASTED LIKE MELTED THIN MINT GIRL SCOUT COOKIES.

FLASH FORWARD A FEW HOURS TO THE FALAFEL PLATTER AND HERE I SIT WAITING FOR THE HOLIDAYS TO BE DONE WITH AND FOR ALL OF MY FRIENDS TO RETURN FROM THEIR VACATIONS. IN THE MEANTIME, I WILL SPEND MY LONG WEEKEND WITH FAMILY, MY NEWLY ARRIVED RODARTE FOR TARGET PIECES, AND STYLE.COM.
FOR MORALE'S SAKE, I HAVE COMPOSED A BEAUTIFUL ARRAY OF HOLIDAY INSPIRED PIECES FROM THE UPCOMING SPRING 10 COLLECTIONS. ENJOY AND MERRY CHRISTMAS!
