Store Display

This store display was done at a local hair salon, with the Twelve Days of Christmas in mind. For each box that has products in it, we used red satin material and christmas balls. The extra boxes had snowflakes hanging from them. The balls & snowflakes were bought from Target, as was the glitter-glue I used to make the numbers and letters stick out. Fabulosity at it's finest. Fashion Friday will be resume this Friday!

Going Strong!

Second post this month, I'm on a roll.

School is about to end in about a month, I'm really excited for a much needed break. However, I'm really leaning towards a second job so I can stay busy for a month and a half. Plus, I'm a statistic: gotta pay the credit card off. I think I'll be ending the school year with B's. Reachable and Realistic.

I recently had two Fashion Promotional Strategy projects due, so I thought I'd share the results.

This was our display window. We chose a primary color scheme (red, yellow, blue) and chose a dark ensemble to make BOTH the display and clothes pop. Also, 'Express Your Style' was tiled on top of satin-covered cardboard and hung from fishing wire string to bring out a 3-D effect.

My trend board was inspired by the late Ed Hardy designed shirts. My deepest sympathies go out to those still wearing Ed Hardy (sooo 2007!). I think now that we're getting out of the recession, colors will have a lower intensity level and not as flamboyant as they have been due to the "new norm" theory. I used swatches from Valspar paints, tile swatches, buttons, ribbon trimmings, Pottery Barn catalog, textile swatches, and even a curtain tassel. The only thing harmed in the making of this trend board was a Vogue magazine.

Friday, I had the deepest pleasure of using Oprah's/Payless' 50% off your entire purchase coupon . Black suede slouchy boots for $15.00, yeah, I was feeling amazing after that steal. Thank you, Oprah! You made my weekend.
