Hermès-I Love My Scarf Campaign

Hermés

Guest Blogger: Ty Raines 

The French powerhouse, Hermés, has launched a new campaign aimed at promoting their extensive history and collection of scarves. As an iconic symbol of luxury, there are several major fashion pieces this design house could have built an entire campaign around, but they ingeniously opted to highlight the admiration their catalog of silk scarves has received around the world. Hermés historic library of silk scarves ranges from the most detail orientated still-life portraits to the subtle beauty of artistic color tones and simplistic palettes.  The Hermés scarf has become a fashion item that many men and women depend upon daily basis to invoke a sense of individuality amongst their daily fashion ware.

The J'aime Mon Carre of I love My Scarf campaign hosts four fashion iconic cities (London, New York, Paris, and Tokyo) to depict its own series of men and women living and loving their Hermés in five specific categories: GIRLS, KNOTS, SCARVES, FILM, and IMAGES.

The decision to include four very distinct fashion empires within the campaign has worked wonderfully for Hermés, because only the fluidity of a silk scarf could allow each individual and their corresponding cities personality to be relevant within each depicting medium. Personally, the variety of methods to include a scarf in one's ensemble became the captivating feature for this reader and viewer. 

As always, inspiration abounds around us. {View more images of this project here}

Can't Get Enough Of: Street Style

One of my favorite parts of the past few years of blog evolution has been street style blogs. I am a people watcher. I can't help but be inspired when I travel or even out to lunch by what people are wearing. Do you follow any street style blogs? Who are your favorites? These are blogs I occasionally stop by to see what people of the world are wearing.

Men's Fall/Winter Fashion Highlights 2010

Today I am happy to bring you this guest post from Ty Raines. Ty is a friend of mine that also contributes on this fashion blog, Something Legit.  From McQueen to YSL, get ready for runway perfection.

-Laura

Well, well, well...August is here which means the summer of 2010 is fading away. Luckily, there have been enough announcements, shake-ups, break-ups and overtop launches to keep the design and fashion conscious individual neck deep during the 2010 Fall and 2011 Winter months. Let's begin...

The McQueen brand and fashion house shall remain, but the future will hold numerous challenges for whoever is appointed the head of this signature house. For now the late designer's stylized work and obsessive attention to detail will still be present in the season's line.

Another English fashion house making waves within the men's realm is Burberry. The return of modernized classic fashion lines and stylized tailoring has rejuvenated the admiration and near cult status this fashion house was built upon.

In keeping with the UK/English theme, the 1970's and 80s rock/punk fashion house Farah has released a very clean and borderline hipster lineup under their Vintage Clothing label. The tremendous amount of growth between their 2009 and 2010 Autumn/Winter looks is captivation and the future of this design house is appealing.

For the individual who finds their vintage collection a little out of their style range Farah also offers Mainline Collection, an additional fashion line aimed at the classic gentleman with a touch of effortless flare.  Whatever the sensibilities, Farah has effortless fashion covered.

The Parisian fashion house Noir Basic has emerged this year with a series of strong pieces. Plus, due to the boutique's size, European location, unique styling these pieces are rarely seen stateside which means one has the opportunity to purchase a seemingly individualized item. Definitely makes layering more fun.

Another small fashion house making noise this season is Nice Collective. The fashion brand that emerged from San Francisco in 1997 and maintained their west coast roots continues to thrive.  Since embarking upon  a complete men's fashion line the influence of military prowess has been woven into nearly all of the brand's pieces of edginess.

The notorious Italian luxury house, Bottega Veneta, has continued to expand upon their 2001 about-face and generate a men's line founded in very clean, subtle craftsmanship with touches of edgy sophistication.  The impact seems to be garnering an overall appeal and notoriety for the fashion house within a much younger, non-traditional clientele base.

Lastly, the love and admiration for Gucci seems to be as consistent as the ocean's waves but these past few seasons have produced something extraordinary.  The overall aesthetic of Italian effortless fashion and easy inclusion into one's daily life leapt from the sketchbook, the cutting room floor, the showroom floor and most importantly the store's display racks.

Bangle Sets  ($155-$185)

I am digging the brown, orange, and yellow color palette. Plus the rich green color could really do wonders for an outfit. (pictured back left)

DIY-Burlap Coffee Sack Pillows + More

I picked up a few burlap coffee sacks on a recent trip with friends for an unbeatable price! But what to do with them? My friend Holly had already created a message board for her cottage home family room, and it looked spectacular in her space.  Naturally I created the same but also thought floor pillows may be a fun idea for somewhere in my house as well.

So I enlisted my troops (Carrie and Celeste) to help me execute these simple/quick projects using these sacks. 

Task #1. Message Board. 

with Carrie. this DIY makes 2

Materials:

1. burlap sack

2. a small piece of plywood from Home Depot

3. pillow batting

4. wood glue

5. hammer+nails

Execution:

-First we cut the bag along the edges creating two pieces of material (we both had to have one).

-Then we lightly pieced pillow batting on a piece of plywood to create some dimension.

-Lastly we pulled then material over the batting and flipped the wood over so the main design was facing down. We used wood glue and nails to tighten the burlap over the board.

Task #2. Pillow

with Celeste.

Materials:

1. burlap sack

2. pillow batting

3. sewing machine

Execution: (This was all Celeste)

-This was a big bag so I chose to cut off some from the top. Celeste pinned down where to sew.

- I chose a charcoal gray thread and she went to work sewing around the entire bag, leaving enough space for batting. I stuffed this using about a bag and a half of batting.

-Sew up the enclosure

Desire To Inspire just posted a blog about great finds for these bags in home as well. Make the jump to see more.
