Only..Old Navy

so i love the new ad for the old navy sweaters. the commercial is so cute and everyone is gorge in it. i don't think this ad in any way offensive. this ad is surely less offensive than the one we last discussed in class. in the ad there is a cute guy, drinking a cup of coffee, a couple of models, fully clothed and a couple cuddling with each other towards the end of it. to me that is harmless. i hope that no one is offended by this ad. its just great, the song is pleasant, it makes you want to throw on your fave sweater and cuddle up near the fireplace. (harmless) and this ad really makes me want to go check out old navy with their new isle sweater collection. i love their new phrase...only old navy. everyone loves to shorten up things..and i think its just enough said. short and sweet!

Simply Vera

I had a really bad view on the new Vera Wang line, Simply Vera, from the beginning. All throughout class I've heard, "It's all for old people" or "It shouldn't have gone to Kohls," but I got my new Marie Claire in the mail and it featured a Simply Vera dress in it. The dress was a "day to night" section, and it said how to dress it down with a cardigan and flats and dress it up with heels and the right accessories. I personally wouldn't buy it, but it is cute. Then the next day, Friday, i was watching Oprah, and they had a Simply Vera fashion show. ALL the clothes were cute. It is a very urban line. Everything must be layered to look as good as it did on the runway, but I would definitely buy some of the pieces. Vera Wang made a good choice by going on Oprah, because the whole time Oprah was like, "I have this" or "I want this." Oprah also said that Vera didn't need to give her anything, she would actually buy it because it was so cheap!

just "facebook" me

so i really enjoyed our discussion about facebook last class. and for the record facebook is so much better than myspace!!! facebook is something that is def not going anywhere and will continue to grow. as long as people are entering their new lives in universities and colleges....facebook will never just be a fad. i just logged on to facebook , that's check #1 for the day, and facebook now has an application for when you first log in, you can do a public searching list. like what we were discussing in class. you can search more things from a person's welcome page and in a few weeks it may also be found through big search engines like GOOGLE!! there are so many new applications for facebook. just as we were talking about how it could be better.. the creator is already a step ahead of us! and don't worry , b/c you can still control whether you have a public search list or not!
