REED + RADER editorial ads

Ok, this isn't new. But, I love these ads so much I had to finally post them!!

About a few months back REED + RADER did a few animated .gifs for the online fashion store SSENSE. There’s something about the glitchy repetition of .gif’s that either look really tacky, comical, morbid or cheap – often a mix of all. These are just awesome. There are about 6-7 in all, but these are my favorites below.

Flowers, chains and lions- Chanel Haute Couture Fashion Show F/W 2010

Speaking of Chanel, here is the latest from the Parisian house. The Fall/Winter 2010 Chanel Haute Couture Fashion Show held at the Grand Palais, France, July 6th 2010.

Personally, I didn't really like the line to much. I'm not much for floral but I did love the rich colors and embellishments. Eh, everyone is allowed to make a mistake I guess. Otherwise, I was more moved by the massive lion in the middle of the stage and Karl's lion mask at the end.

I ride long boards...by Chanel

It's probably no surprise that I don’t surf, but if I did, I would absolutely use a board like this. Today’s black-and-white beach accessory is almost too pretty ( and possibly too expensive) to put in the water.

The board is part of the Parisian fashion house’s Sports 2010 Line which also includes a basketball, rugby ball, golfing equipment and snowboards all available to view on their sight, or you could just scroll down a bit and peek now :)

Now, although I'm not a surfer, I will gladly hit the slopes on this beautifuly simple Snowboard (which also comes in black;) and pedal along the riviera on the bike.

Sassy Moment: Sugar & spice, with a cherry on top

Ohh look what I found! How fun, hats + cakes, ha ha :)

Through I can't imagine walking down the street with a cake on my head, these little things are kinda cute. The little kid in me is happy.

Marie over at Agent Lover makes these adorable little delectables by hand.

"Each Cake Hat is individually handcrafted, so no two hats are exactly alike. The exterior is hand-painted, hand-”frosted”, and topped off with a shiny berry, while the inside is lined with sparkling felt. The Cake Hats are held securely on the head by a durable translucent elastic headband, giving the appearance of a freely floating pastry on your noggin."

Trashy Moment: Pastel Lips

Y'all know I don't like to post too many Trashy Moments, mostly because I don't like to litter, but some things need to be addressed. So, apparently a memo went around that pastel lips were the new thing.  I've seen a few pictures of girls trying to get in on it, but they failed.  I just don't understand it.  I thought Whitney told us a few years back that, "Crack is Wack!" So why this random surge of pastiness.

Did I miss something?? I've seen it done right a few times in fashion mags and such, but those shots were done by professional makeup artist and photographers who can make anyone look good. They should come with a disclaimer that says, "DO NOT attempt this look at home."

I'm all for someone being unique, individual, beat your own drum and whatever, but wearing the new shade you got at the free crack giveaway is too much. Keep it classy girls.

Someone please explain this to me...
