Intel (as in intelligence) vs. Ebay January 31, 2009

So back in November, I got word of these new nail polishes by Chanel called the Moscow (Mouscou) collection. There are three colors: Nuit de Russie, Or de Russie and Feu de Russie.  Each color uses a deep black base and then three different shades of red (Feu), blue (Nuit) and Gold (Or).  For Christmas I asked my husband to get me Feu de Russie.  So like the wonderful husband he is, he started at Nordstroms where he was met with blank stares at the Chanel counter.  Next, he tried Saks and again, nothing.  ”Moscow Collection, I’ve never heard of that.  Are you sure its from Chanel?”  It is always great when you know more about the line than the people working behind the counters.  

So Part Two of the Moscow Nail Polish Saga. (more…)

Fashion Design Camp January 30, 2009

After perusing the web for fashion fodder, I came across one of the best ideas I have seen in awhile and it is located here in Portland.  Fashion Design Camp is the creation of Tacee Webb and her daughter, Palace.  Webb is the founder of Red Light Clothing Exchange.  FDC is a five day camp for children ages 8-16.  At the end of the workshop, a fashion show is put on, showcasing the creations of the week.  But this camp is not only for those wishing to become designers but also those who want to work in the fashion industry, whether that be as a boutique owner or buyer or fashion stylist. It encourages participants to recognize and to take advantage of the resources that Portland has to offer.
