And the fun starts as soon as the clock strikes 5.

I'm slightly obsessed with Marc Jacobs, and I've been having a love affair with his Pear splash for a couple months. It's the perfect summer scent-- light and fruity, yet a hint of lusty musk that is great for a summer evening.

At first I was hesitant to try a pear scent-- I'm not particularly fond of the fruit. So I was quite surprised when I sampled the fragrance and realized it was multi-dimensional.

Sephora's description puts it best:

Marc Jacobs Pear Splash captures the sweet nectar of summer. Deliciously fresh and ripe, it tempts the senses with its savory aroma. Uniquely delectable, pear is a delicious summer indulgence to enjoy. The fruity, woody fragrance opens with the tantalizing aroma of fresh, ripe pear invigorated with bergamot and lemon zest. The heart of juniper, gin accord, and freesia imparts a sweet richness. Musk, teakwood, and a soft amber round out the balance of notes with smooth softness and warm sensuality.

Marc Jacobs contemplates the refreshing power of beauty in this new limited-edition collection of body splashes softly scented in chilled sorbet flavors. Deliciously cooling, Marc Jacobs Splashes inspire us to enjoy life's simple pleasures. Light enough to splash or spray lavishly all over the body, the crisp scent awakens the senses and tempts the palate.

Notes:
Pear, Freesia, Teakwood.
Style:
Sweet. Sparkling. Refreshing.

I've been hearing some buzz about Marc's new Gardenia scent, so I think that's next on my list.

As marcas de streetwear só recebem aval da moda quando dominam a alfaiataria. Realmente ela é tão importante assim ou a alfaiataria é uma adequação do streetwear às normas do "bem vestir" tirando o seu espírito mais libertário?

As marcas de streetwear têm seus próprios códigos e seu próprio público, no espaço que um dia foi gueto. Não precisam ter aval da moda mainstream.
Por que o Monsiuer Bernalt Arnault da LVMH levou o Marc Jacobs e esse levou para o templo Vuitton o Pharrell Williams? A Chanel tem o olhar do kaiser generoso para a moda das ruas, o que faz com que ele esteja na direção da maison há 25 anos. Por uma simples questão: vendas ... vendas ... vendas.

Vivemos uma era de mudanças dos jogos do poder. P. Diddy senta no front row da Dior Couture, ao lado da Anna Wintour, para prestigiar as criações de Galliano, que nunca escondeu seus fundamentos street culture (isso está no documentário "Mulheres no Poder", exibido pelo GNT, que deu muita pista para o filme o Diabo ...).

Sean "P. Diddy" Combs
A adequação da moda de ruas aos cânones da alfaiataria é conseqüência de seu crescimento. O jovem saiu do gueto e precisa trabalhar nos universos corporativos, tendo já passado pela universidade. Por que não lhe dar opções formais dentro do seu universo de consumo?
O tema já foi capa da revista DNR, mostrando o que é o streetwear contemporâneo. É preciso, no entanto, que entendamos esse movimento não como caretice ou adequação aos modelos dos brancos, e sim como um crescimento, maturação. O branco mainstream bebe continuamente na fonte da cultura das ruas, que se espalhou por todo o planeta. E, como diria a fake Miranda/Wintour, do filme _ não gosto_ Diabo veste Prada: “that´s all”.

Bravo M. Marc Jacobs ! L’homme exactement comme on l’aime !

Il y a quelques années, ma meilleure amie m'a offert une sublime paire de gants en agneau rouge sang.
A l'époque, je n'assumais pas du tout le choc de cette couleur vive et je les ai mis de coté. Patience leur avais je dit (eh oui je leur parle à mes accessoires !). Votre heure viendra.
Elle est venue, voici un an, tombée dessus par hasard dans mon placard, j'ai remis la main dessus (ppfffiou, trop fort le jeu de mots, hein ??)
Je me suis donc intéressée de plus près à cet artisan spécialiste du gant, qui a su apporter une touche de modernité à ses collections, via les couleurs, les détails de finitions et les matières.

J'ai donc été ravie d'apprendre que cette jolie maison inaugurait cette semaine sa première boutique dans les jardins du Palais-Royal, the new place to be des marques de créateurs un brin hype alternatives, j'oserais même dire underground chic : Acné, Marc Jacobs, Didier Ludot...

Allez donc, au détour d'une shopping party entre le Louvre et les Tuileries, y faire un tour. J'espère que la boutique vous plaira autant qu'à moi.

In the end, it's really about which ad brought in all the dollars. But we might as well appreciate the art while its here.

One of my favoritestest blogs (besides this new one about CAKES! Yay cakes!) is Fashionista, and my favoritestest parts about their blog is when they point out the blatant copyright infringements that run rampant in the fashion industry. Most of their posts deal with Forever 21 but I just found my own on ModCloth.

I present you with the "Dreamsicle" dress by a clothing brand named Shulima. Never heard of it, but the dress looks mighty familiar.

Oh, I know why. Because it's a super popular dress by Marc by Marc Jacobs.

If there's a plus side to fashion copycats, all the cheap material will drive smart consumers to purchase the real version with better quality. Note to self: if I ever try to sell a cheap dress online, make sure to iron it well first.

Anyway...what else is going on? Oh yeah. Did anyone else notice how much eyeliner the mayor (played by Nestor Campbell) was wearing in Dark Knight? What the hell was up with that?

Ein kleines Schmankerl am Abend vor der Bettruhe: momentan steigt auf Marc Jacobs Website anscheinend eine kleine Party mit einer amüsanten Schar Drag Queens. Aber seht am besten selbst!

Marc Jacobs, o mais queridinho fashionista do momento, se casa com seu namorado brasileiro,Lorenzo Martone, neste domingo. A cerimônia acontece ao meio-dia, em Paris.

O encontro do estilista com o top-executivo, que é um paulistano cool, fala cinco idiomas e mora em Nova York, foi mesmo fulminante: os dois estão juntos há apenas três meses! A primeira aparição pública do jovem casal aconteceu em abril, na abertura da exposição de Takashi Murakami, no Brooklyn Museum.

Glamurama

Bom, na verdade, descobri que ela já misturou suas performances com moda em desfiles na década de 60, que ela recentemente colaborou com o estilista Issey Miyake e que seu trabalho foi usado como tema (e ela foi a coordenadora do projeto) de um desfile realizado pelos alunos do Bunka Fashion College do Japão.

Mas eu ainda acredito nela como uma inspiração importantíssima para o design em geral. Ela usa algumas cores bem anos 80, misturadas com todos esses petit pois dos 50 (louquíssimos petti pois) e inúmeros padrões e símbolos facilmente reconhecíveis como essas abóboras...

Mas, sabe como são as coisas. Eu estava aqui pesquisando e descobri que ninguém menos que Marc Jacobs a descobriu antes de mim (dezembro de 2007). Ok, ok. Ele é um gênio da moda e do marketing, ultimamente mais do marketing do que da moda, acho, e eu estou apenas começando...

Ich will sie mal als Arbeitstitel "Keil-Luft-Absätze" nennen (Modejournalistin, hast Du einen Fachausdruck für uns parat?). Sie gehen wahrscheinlich auf die Idee von Miuccia Prada zurück, die ähnliches bereits im Sommer 2006 bei Prada zeigte

einen Sommer später deklinierte Marc Jacobs diese Idee um.

Und bei den letzten Pariser Schauen trug einer der Besucherinnen diese Form. Was schon mehr an einen normalen High Heel erinnert und dann eigentlich diese Gehstütze unten nicht braucht.

Schaut cool aus, aber ...

NOTES (as listed on fragrancenet.com): orange flower, honeysuckle, sandalwood, nectar, musk, freesia, and wood

It took a lot of concentration to spray Blush on myself without having a pre-disposed opinion of it; I had previously tested another [more popular] Marc Jacobs fragrance (Daisy) and was less than thrilled with the results.

CLASSIFICATION: singular floral, mature

AGE GROUP: college / [more so] mature

SIMILAR SCENT(s): n/a

FORM: eau de parfum

I feel as though I kept a pretty "clean slate" when experiencing Marc Jacobs Blush for the first time, having had such a bad experience with one of his other scents, Daisy (you can read our reviews of Daisy by clicking here). I kept an open mind and tried to forget my thoughts on Daisy as I inhaled Blush deeply. Upon first spray, Blush was not as pleasing as Daisy, however, Blush did not turn as quickly as Daisy into something completely different - so that's one point for Blush. The scent smells the same from the bottle, throughout the first spray and sniff on the skin, and while sinking in and throughout the rest of the day. While I do enjoy me some consistency, that certainly did add to the simplicity of this perfume.

Some perfumes are best described as simplistic, and it isn't insulting to the perfume, but I do believe that "simple" was not what Marc Jacobs was going for when he developed Blush. Still, it's not necessarily a bad thing. This perfume is, as per the sample card that it came with, "the most luxurious interpretation of the celebrated jasmine flower." While it does include other notes, of course, this is definitely a singular floral, meaning you really only get one scent from it, instead of a combined "bouquet" effect. Not a bad thing, mind you.

While I previously thought that I was a fan, or at worst indifferent of the scent of jasmine, I quickly learned that it is simply not the scent for me. It is not an offensive or harsh scent, and I don't necessarily dislike it, but I tend to lean towards non-singular, younger florals when choosing a flowery perfume. This is definitely a more sophisticated fragrance. The scent is not unpleasant, just a somewhat acquired taste for some, I'd say. I'm not sure if it's just my nose, but to me, this is a sort of sour smelling flowery scent. It's definitely very true to the flower itself, and the only thing that comes to mind when smelling it is picking a flower and taking a large whiff of it's center.

Blush's consistency is magnifique! However, it's staying power is relatively unimpressive, especially when compared to Daisy. It was worn off within about one to two hours, and even before it was completely worn away, it had faded greatly in a fairly quick amount of time.

REPORT CARD

(We highly recommend reading our guide to understanding our grading system if you haven't already)

First sniff (bottle): B-

First sniff (skin): C+

Worn scent: C+

Staying power: C-

Scent as compared to note(s): B- (no jasmine? however - I smell honeysuckle BIG TIME in this one)

Bottle: D

Overall: C

A less offensive sister of Daisy, I wouldn't wear this fragrance personally; it is non-offensive and relatively pleasant, though, if you are a fan of single floral scents. I'd definitely recommend sampling this one before buying, however.

I wonder, do Victoria and David discuss their latest campaigns at the dinner table? Did Victoria get jealous of David, which led to her getting the Jacobs contract? I just hate it when people try different things and fail miserably at it. Stick to what you know how to do, in Victoria's case, I am not quite sure what that is.

Oh, and this seems to be another case of Versace. Remove celebrities from fashion advertising, it's not a Pepsi commercial.
