Zac Posen + DHL = ?

Yes, it may seem like an odd combination. But the cause is a good one! DHL created "Tote for Teachers" to support TeachersCount, a "501(c)(3) non-profit organization dedicated to creating a permanent culture of teacher appreciation." Although, to be honest, I'm not really sure what creating this "culture" would entail. Come on, most kids won't appreciate their teachers until later on in life. When younger, they seem bossy or pushy, but, like your parents, you'll love them later! At least this is a chance to get a Zac Posen original, even if it is $400!!

Have a Disney Fairy Tale Wedding

Kirstie Kelly for Disney Fairy Tale Weddings. No this isn't a joke of any kind. Disney is really branching out this time--into the profitable area of wedding dresses. Not only can you have wedding at one of the global Disney locations, but you can also play the part of princess by wearing a Disney branded wedding dress. Is this marketing genius?

20ltd

20ltd takes the whole idea of the limited edition to the next level. Sure, some shops or brands try to offer limited editions to get people interested. Well, 20ltd is just that: an online shop centered on items only available in quantities of 20. It's either ingenious or highly pretentious! Or maybe a little bit of both!

For the Dog who has Everything...

The dog deserves the best, no? Well, now he can have that with the new line of products from Kiehl's. Yes, the maker of fine health and beauty prducts for humans has launched a small assortment for canines.

Lorac Love

Just a little love going out to LORAC today. They have these great Lip Polishes. Love them!!! And I just found out that they will release a special sampler package for the holiday seasons. Check it out:

Google Earth - Showcase

Google Earth - Showcase is, simply put, cool. Google has partnered with organisations like National Geographic to provide tours of certain locales using the Google Earth technology. The one caveat--you must have Google Earth installed on your computer. But that isn't a problem, is it?

Style at Wal-Mart??

No, I'm not really too much of a Wal-Mart fan. The lines are atrocious, even if the prices are great. (Although, frankly Target's aren't too much different!) But they have really begun to revamp their offerings. I actually just came across a perfect example just of this.

The Opera Comforter Set is really quite elegant. I'm not sure how great the quality is, but I do truly like the styling. And at the Wally World price, one would be able to change their room around frequently! I have also noticed their selections of clothing have become more fashion-forward. I guess with places like H&M and Forever21 they have to remain competitive. It's all the better for us and our wallets!

"Real" designers at Target

Target has actually gotten some "underground" designers to hook them up this back to school season. Deanne Cheuk and Evan Hecox have designed some items for the dorm room and school items that are quite nice. Some example you say? Here you go:
