Summer is HERE; lets get the look right!

I’m hoping that you had a chance to check out this great video featuring the styles of one of my favorite brands, Gant by Michael Bastian. 

Just a little history to get you familiarized with Gant: it is a brand that was created by a gentleman who goes by the name of Michael Bastian.  He is from New York and has had a great career in fashion.  I got this information from Wiki, if you would like to know more….look it up.

Im sharing this video because it is featuring his “look” for S/S in a unique way.  I enjoy a lot of the styles in this video and find it inspiring for my summer look.  We see a lot of boat shoes in the summer but he shows you a different way to wear them.  I think this is very appropriate for the summer and could be an afternoon to an evening look.   

This collage features looks of another brand that I would like to talk about - Band Of Outsiders as well as Gant.  The video below is a S/S Runway show.  It is 12 Minutes long but at least watch through the first song.

That is all for now

Peace.

Assignment Numero Uno

Last week as we sat around trying to figure out what our assignment for the upcoming week was, I listened as best as I could and realized we had to write a blog.  The blog is suppose to be about fashion (I think) so here is my attempt to write about fashion:

Since as of right now I am not a trend forecaster, I’m not going to write about what I think is going to be “in” for the summer or do something a little more drastic and try to predict next season.  Right now I’m just glad that people walk out of their house with clothes on.  I know its summer but not everyone has a summer body!  I’m simply going to write about my retail experience at my work place, just a few shout outs to things that make me ask myself:  Did they really just do that?

Shout out to people who think that Northpark is a swap market!  No sir, you cannot bargain the price of that Hurley shirt!  It cost 25 bucks, and that is what you will pay (before tax)

Shout out to people who know their jeans were not purchased at our store but will try to return them anyway, I don’t care if it is a birthday gift that your great grandma gave you!! 

My last shout out is to people who bring their rowdy kids with them to shop, I understand that the mall is a place where families come to walk around.  But don’t expect your three year old to just sit around while you try on a million clothes.  They will start to get bored!

And that is all I have for now…

Peace
