You are rock it even if you are short! Look how Eva does it.
There is something incredibly sexy about a one-piece. It is an easy outfit to accessorize and really stand out when everyone is in a cocktail dress. Great idea for all those holiday parties you have coming up!Would you ever rock a jumpsuit?HeyDoYou is for the cute, clever and connected! Follow this blog!

JULIANNE PFISTER is the Beauty Chair at FiDM and was the Director of International Sales at Stila! She is my instructor for this class. We are discussing customer service experience, financial statements and customer loyal, brand identity, value preposition! This class is marketing focused and we are talking about the BUSINESS side of the beauty industry!
BRAND IMAGING
Darrell Baum was the marketing manager of Joico and is now teaching this fun class! We are talking a lot about social media and web 2.0… Right up my alley! We are doing a project of LVMH in this class. Brand image trap, brand position trap, external perspective trap and product attribute fixation!

FRAGRANCE AND TREATMENT
Jeanne Tamayo is our wonderful teacher for this class! She really know what she is talking about and we are doing brand comparative projects between Stila and Smashbox, product development case studies and learning all sorts of what the beauty industry corporate structure is like and how much $$$ we can really make through our expertise and love for this industry. She is the director of broadcast production for Stila! We had a brand pitch for our last class and Ffiona and I came up with a product for children that’s peelable nailpolish! Our idea won us $200 worth of Stila makeup *big smile*. Thank you! (I gave half of it away already lol)

LG Fashion Week – David Dixon
Annnd we’re back. Back from the dead and into LG Fashion week.
Absolutely packed. Filled with those who’ve got style, those who want style and those who try to hard. If you haven’t already, it’s definitely worth a visit.
Check out the pics from the David Dixon collection. It turned out to be a solid combination of subtle patterns in whites, pinks, and deep blues. Although mostly skirts, and spaghetties he did manage to turn out some nice jackets and even a mens outfit or two. <-- I snapped over 60 shots, but my ISO settings were wrong and only a few turned out. If you’re down for tomorrows LOVAS Wesley Badanjak show make sure to say hi. We can also catch up at Evan Biddell, Rudsak, Roberto Cavalli and a number of other shows on Friday.
The setup – full house, no empty seats, squashed together and boiling inside!
Rare was the outfit with a purse
Sitting right in the middle of the runway made it difficult to get shots
Voulenteers Handing out Red, White and Italian
The Italian – Peroni – beer of choice, similar to Corona*for the cute, clever and connect. Follow this blog!

Ipsos Breakfast
Ipsos is a worldwide market research company that does everything from trending to surveys and everything in between. Ipsos is dedicated to a single line of work: survey-based research. Ipsos is divided into five areas of specialization. For the past thirty years we have been loyal to this unique positioning, which has made Ipsos one of the leaders in the research industry. They are kind of a big deal.
I have been involved with the glitzy fun side of marketing, public relations, sampling, promotions and wom for the last 10 years of my life and imagine my surprise when they asked to interview me fall 08 in Toronto for a North American Trend report! I went in to their office on Bloor and answered questions for about an hour and that was it. I didn’t think much of it until I got this email. It invited me to come to the Trend Observer presentation breakfast. ^_^
trendsetter! yay!It’s really an honour to be acknowledged as an early-adopter in trends by such a prestigious marketing company. Merci! Thank you! Gracias!
Some of the consumer trends, as presented by Stephanie Cooper, the vice president of Ipsos Reid:Trend 1: classic form + betterThis trend is about taking a known form and adding features to make it better.Polariods —— now with a printer!90210 —— now with multicultural cast!Vespa —— now with more power!Trend 2: technology in actionThis trend takes the connected @ home concept to what they call the open cocoon. This is the person who is on the go, no fixed address and alwaysmobile. Fluidity between work and life and not tethered to the computerTrend 3: everyday spiritualityFinding that we own to much stuff and it impedes our happiness, clearing mental clutter and freeing ourselves. *read Peter Walsh*
Trend 4: iLead the way
This is amazing and it begins with experimentation, independence and self sufficiency. *read This book will save your life*
Trend 5: iImpact
Talked about the neon light unlighters in France and people who take matters into their own hands and setting an agenda. Like the TV show Dexter, Radiohead and Google’s project http://www.project10tothe100.com/Trend 6: Responsibility
The responsible and conscious consumer who uses money as a tool and buying more quality items. Me and mine mentality, favouring national and local products
