My fashion Inspiration

Not only am I a huge Harry Potter fan but I'm a huge Emma Watson fan. She happens to be my fashion icon; here are some of my favs.

Subway

In recognition of Subway becoming the largest restaurant chain. This commercial makes me laugh every time. Fighting the obesity epidemic?

A Day Made of Glass

Our Near future

So unbelievable, yet so believable at the same time.

Sarah Kay: If I should have a daughter...

“There’ll be days like this, my momma said….When you open your hands to catch, and wind up with only blisters and bruises; when you step out of the phone booth and try to fly and the very people you want to save are the ones standing on your cape; when your boots will fill with rain, and you’ll be up to your knees in disappointment. And those are the very days you have all the more reason to say thank you, Because there’s nothing more beautiful than the way the ocean refuses to stop kissing the shoreline, no matter how many times it’s swept away.”

Dwell In Possibility- Emily Dickenson

Creativity

ROBERT FABRICANT with Frog Design fastcodedesign
Ideas from his speech at 'Ideas Economy' conference on Human Potential' in New York .

"Creativity emerges out of relationships; it’s the tension between different ideas and perspectives and so it is risky to define it as an ability that we inherently possess."

"Creativity is the result of a set of relationships with strong social and emotional dimensions. It comes out of a collaborative environment."

IKEA: Italian Ad

Makes me love IKEA even more.  It says, "We are open to all families."

J.Crew Ad

 I am currently in a class on gender and sexuality. Lately I've been fascinated by gender roles, how gender roles are conditioned by society and how other gender functions are predetermined. I take the "one sex" approach. I believe there are more differences between women then between women and men and vice versa. We all have a varying degree of feminine and masculine qualities. I think celebrating and fostering both sides in ourselves and in others is needed. I was on the website ADfreak.com and found this picture....

This is Jenna Lyons, creative director at J.Crew, with her son Beckett. This was featured in their catalog promoting neon pink nail polish as well as their clothing.

To quote fox news this is "blatant propaganda celebrating transgendered children."- Erin Brown. Fox news goes on to say this is a hidden liberal, transgenders politics agenda. Who says pink has to be a gender specific color!?! I love the ad.
