Tiger Update

So, I think I jumped the gun on the whole Tiger Woods scandal. I had no idea the media would go crazy with this story. Now, there are rumors that he has had affairs with over a dozen woman and how crazy the professional golf "scene" is. I don't know if its true but there must be little else going on in the news. Heaven forbid a celebrity have an affair! There is all this talk about how this will affect his sponsorships and endorsements. Gillette has already dropped him with rumors of more to come! I feel like they are being a lot harsher on Tiger. However, I seem to share the opinion of few.

Ann Taylor...you're looking good



I fell in love with these necklaces the other day when I was in Ann Taylor and thought I would share. If I had a couple extra hundred dollars in my back pocket, I would have bought all of them! The second one is actually sold out online!

Tiger Woods Taking a Hit

People are wondering if the recent events including the car accident and allegations of "domestic issues" will tarnish the squeaky clean image of Tiger Woods. There have been rumors of Woods having an affair and the injuries assumed to be suffered from the car accident actually resulted from a confrontation between Woods and his wife. Click here for the AdAge article. Either way, I am skeptical to believe any rumors that speak poorly of Woods because of the impeccable brand he represents. When your image is as clean as his, you're given the benefit of the doubt. That is exactly what I plan to give him and I think others will too.

The Power of Social Media

Is social media taking over advertising completely?

MediaPost says YES.

Rihanna in London

I am watching Rihanna's live concert at the Nokia Theater in London and loving it. I love her music and her style. She just wore the coolest accessory. It was an arm sleeve but the top of it had a puffy drapery look. It looked like it was made of leather (maybe). I've never seen something like that before but I would expect nothing less from the fashion forward trend setter. I tracked down a video where she is wearing the sleeve during her performance of Russian Roulette. Check it out here!

Kruger Campaign

So, love Diane Kruger. What else is new?! I found this interview with her while she was on a photo shoot for Peek & Cloppenburg fall campaign. The video has some behind the scenes footage of the shoot and Diane talks about her personal style. She is just so adorable.

Forever 21 Can Do Better


I was a little disappointed with the new Forever 21 Twist collection, Disco 21. It's nothing we haven't seen before. We've brought all the decades bath; 60's hippie and 80s neon rocker. They have all made a comeback. Why can't we leave the past in the past? Are we really out of new innovative ideas? I don't know about you but I laugh when I think of the 70s. Obviously, dressing in a disco inspired outfit would not elicit a favorable response seeing as though no one would take you seriously. Come on Forever 21, I know you can do better. I say "pass" on this collection.
