Beauty Product Samples : Birchbox, The Look Bag, Sample Society

Posted on January 30, 2012 by
People often say that imitation is a form of flattery.  If that is the case, I wonder if Birchbox is feeling flattered this morning.  Or possibly, they are feeling a bit more on uncomfortable (disappointed) then flattered.

Into todays fashion and beauty industry news, we see not one but TWO news reports of competition popping up.

E! Entertainment Television Co-Founder Alan Mruvka has partnered up with Beverly Hills Celebrity beauty guru and undisputed “Eyebrow King,” Damone Roberts to launch The Look Bag.com – the newest luxury beauty sample club. For only $10 a month, members of The Look Bag.com will receive five deluxe, re-sealable beauty samples that are specifically customized to fit their individual beauty needs. Each Look Bag is shipped out free to members within the first two weeks of every month, members also enjoy an additional discount off of every purchase of any full-sized beauty product on the site as well.

Wow, that sure sounds familiar.  After reading that news report, we can go onto see that Beauty Bar, is collaborating with The Beauty Expert, Allure magazine, to introduce Sample Society which they call “a breakthrough in beauty sampling”.   A members-only subscription service, Sample Society delivers the most exclusive samples of hair-care, makeup, skin-care and fragrance products plus expert information each month.

The beauty sampling experience has evolved from the passive and free department store gift-with-purchase model to a sought-after service women are willing to pay to join.  Beauty Bar and Allure are reinventing it yet again, by marrying expert advice and insight from Allure editors with deluxe samples culled from Beauty Bar’s expansive selection of high-end domestic and international products, to create the ultimate beauty Sample Society.

A Few Words From Vera January 2012

Posted on January 24, 2012 by

A bit of superstition adds to the adventure of marriage. For your something old, something new or something borrowed – look to your handbag. Your handbag should never be an afterthought; in fact, it is one of the most difficult accessories to coordinate with your wedding gown. Without exception, your wedding handbag should be small, elegant and understated. To make an important connection between past and future, consider a vintage handbag from one of your older relatives or invest in a new piece that will become an heirloom when you pass it on.

For your something blue, consider a hidden touch such as a blue ribbon sewn into your petticoat or a blue garter for your wedding leg. -XO, Vera

Nice article on TechCrunch today that is apparel industry relevant.

“Spiderman might soon lose his dominance in harnessing spider silk superpowers.

Princess Night by Vera Wang

Princess Night, the latest fragrance by Vera Wang, sparkles with first impressions of wild berries and watermelon, blended with raspberry. An exotic blend of jasmine, orange blossom and rose follows and the night air is left with a trail of crushed sugar and hints of musk and vanilla.

Are We Nearing The End of Cheap China

Posted on December 21, 2011 by

Shaun Rein is the founder and managing director of the China Market Research Group. He is also author of a book, The End of Cheap China : Economic and Cultural Trends That Will Disrupt the World. The book will be published in the spring

According to Mr. Rein, the year 2012 is shaping up to be a difficult one for America-China relations, as both nations jockey for greater influence in the Asia Pacific region. President Obama has announced he will send 2,500 marines to rotate through Darwin, Australia, and has chastised China for not “playing by the rules.” Many in China view Obama’s moves as a containment strategy and have stepped up their rhetoric calling for an end to American hegemony.
Mr. Rein states in an article, “In one chapter I analyze China’s currency and show that China’s manufacturing beats America’s because of superior infrastructure and efficient labor pools, not because of a manipulated currency, as Krugman argues. I point out that China is no longer a cheap place to do business. Not only did its currency appreciate by 8% in the last year, but 21 of China’s 31 provinces increased their minimum wage this year by 22%. Office space is more expensive in Shanghai than in many Western capitals.”

Tools for Improving Google+ Effectiveness

Posted on December 16, 2011 by
When using new systems such as Google+, it may be a good idea to utilize various tools and services that are created by third parties. I am not saying it is always better, but maybe looking for additional tools can help in some situations.
 
Sometimes the main service provider (in this example Google) may need time to perfect a particular service (such as Google+). To put things in a nut shell, tech companies such as Google will typically develop a great project, launch the project, then continuously work to improve the product further. Let’s keep in mind it is really difficult (or impossible) to launch a product that is perfect and in need of zero improvement right from the beginning. Once the project is up and running, programmers will continue to make improvements to existing features and also develop new features. At the same time, community organizers and other people working within the company can receive feedback from users regarding the current service to determine what new features need to be created and what existing features need to be improved.
 
As the primary service provider works on their internal tools and services, third party companies may start development on their own services to work in conjunction with the primary service. Obviously, their are legal and ethical rules in regard to what third party companies should do. Although I do not know all of the specific rules and obligations, it is my understanding that Google is fine with other companies creating services that help users of their service. This is why they often provide API information for third parties.
 
In regard to Google+, in my opinion it is a great service that will get even better over time. Before the system is “perfect”, I will seek out other services and tools that I can use in conjunction with Google Plus. One such service that I enjoy using is called Plus Dragon. Plus Dragon is actually a work in progress with only a small section currently available to the public. The feature that I use is the search engine. It allows me to search for people, brands, and business pages in a rather convenient way.
 
If you enjoy Plus Dragon, you can also join the dragons circle on Google+.
 
Also, you can read a similar post about an example of how third party Google+ tools such as Plus Dragon may be helpful to users of Google+.

Trousseau is no longer practical

Posted on December 13, 2011 by

Below you will find new comments from Vera Wang.  As you know, we are fans of Vera.  Therefore, thought that you would also enjoy her comments.

The tradition of a trousseau is age-old, when a woman began sewing clothes at an early age in anticipation of her marriage. While the concept of a trousseau is no longer practical, the idea of shopping for your wedding night and honeymoon is still enduring and relevant. The implication is timeless: new clothes for a new life.

Depending on where your honeymoon is, you might be packing bikinis for the beach or evening dresses for a European escape. Combine fabrics – cashmere, cotton, silk and lace – to create versatility. For any trousseau and any destination, a few pieces are essential: a lightweight cotton robe, a cashmere twin set, a little black dress with high-heels and a neutral-toned pashmina shawl. I strongly recommend packing black leggings for comfort, ease and practicality – I live by them. -XO, Vera

Fashion Industry Uses Google+

Posted on December 1, 2011 by
The fashion industry is more then simply designing and selling clothing and accessories. The business has many complexities. If you want to break the business down into unique categories, it is our opinion that you could reach hundreds if not thousands of critical areas of the business. Some of which would include areas such as pattern making, fabric testing, supply chain management, garment production, retailing, etc. In addition to many of the primary categories that are easy to determine, the industry has many other areas that many people may not think are directly relevant to fashion. For example, HTML5. HTML5 is a language for developing technology such as websites, games, etc. This is relevant when “fashion companies” develop fashion websites, fashion games, etc. Therefore, even websites such as the HTML5 developers, HTML5 Consultants, and HTML5 programmers, are actually relevant to the clothing industry.
Various aspects of technology are relevant to the apparel industry. In addition to CAD software, pattern making software, e-commerce shopping carts, etc., social networking is also important to the fashion industry. The industry has been using social networking services such as the Fashion Industry Network, Twitter, Tumblr, and Facebook, for some time now. If you have not heard, their is now a new kid on the block. Sure, they are not new to the internet, but rather new to the social networking landscape. You may have heard of this little company called Google. Well, they have launched a new service called Google+. Below you will find a few websites that will help you better understand what Google+ is all about and how it is helpful to the apparel & textile industries.
After you learn more about the G+ system, you will most likely start wondering how to grow circles of influence for yourself or your business.
Here are a few blog posts about G+ that you may have interest in reading. They are not technical guides to help you learn to use the system (maybe one is). The others are more for entertainment purposes.
Google+ Blog Post (some fun and some education)
We hope that this post has been of some assistance to you. If it did not help, hopefully it did not hurt either. Don’t forget to view an example of the system so that you can an idea of what circles, streams, and sparks are all about. You can check the fashion page to get a stylish tour of the system. By the way, although Facebook, and G+ are wonderful networking tools, don’t forget that the Fashion Industry Network is the best place for networking about the fashion industry.

Facebook Files for Divorce

Posted on December 1, 2011 by
Has Facebook filed for divorce?  Not yet, but if they did, the conversation could possible go something like this:
 
Was it so wrong that I wanted to expand my horizons and grow a circle of new friends?  It should not cause you so much tension that I simply want to hangout with my buddies.  Plus, let’s keep in mind that as I tried to keep open streams of communication between you and I, you continued to build a wall between us.  In fact, your method of communication limited our comments way more then my method.  Sure you have recently opened your self to longer conversations, but some times doing a little is simply, “a little too late”.  In all honesty, I often feel that you are treating me like I am a monster for wanting to spend time with my new friends.  You act as if I am a fire breathing dragon or some sort of disease weakening you with my viral and infectious nature.  I think you should have treated me in a much better fashion.  Rather then treat me like a piece of used clothing, you could have cherished me like an elegant piece of vintage fashion.  Rather, you treated me like an old bag to be tossed around.  That is obviously not how either a man nor a women wants to be treated.
 
Although I wanted to stay true to what we had developed together in the past, some times new and amazing revelations pop into our lives and we dare not slow them from developing.  As I tried to explain before, even though you think I have fallen for someone else, I was only trying to broaden my network of friends. Furthermore, as I tried to explain to you in our numerous conversations, it is absolutely not too late for our relationship.  Although you believe I have sparks for another, you are welcome to join my circle just as others have done.  Although I have not worked hard and made a job of asking others to join my circles, I am more then happy to ask you. 
 
If we put aside our differences, we can work together to grow circles that we all can enjoy.  Wouldn’t that be a plus-plus or win-win situation for everyone?
 
According to sources close to the matter, the unofficial Facebook document that has declared irreconcilable differences may or may not have contained the above mentioned quote.  Most likely, no document exists.  However, one never knows, does one.
 
 
Are you using Google+ to cheat on another?

Bridal Fashion : Get Married to Save the Economy

Posted on November 30, 2011 by

Bridal fashion is important to the fashion industry as well as the bride and groom.

Behind every great wedding gown, their is a fashion designer, fabric supplier, trim supplier, bridal fashion retailer etc.  The fashion industry employs many people that have a specific role in regard to the development and sale of bridal fashion.

Due to the sluggish economy, it is of our opinion that more people should get married so that we can keep the fashion industry churning along.  As more people get married, the fashion industry will have more wedding gowns, veils, and garters to produce.  This will help keep more people employed.

If consumers are carefully watching their expenses and are shopping less for the holidays, it is important that they transition from concentrating on holiday fashion to wedding day fashion.

So, if you are single, you should really help the economy (help the fashion industry) by finding someone to marry.  OK, you may not be ready for marriage, but will you ever be… You may as well go for it now.

Create fashion jobs by getting married and support your countries economy.
