WEDNESDAY BAG ♥ VIDEO AD CAMPAIGN

Got another little tip from the same little Monique bird from Goddess.Huntress. (one day soon she'll def make her appearance on here when she slows down...the girl is mad busy...but she's doing guest  MAKEUP MONDAY posts from time-to-time because she is def a make up guru. A green make up guru.)...and this pretty little bird from NYC wanted to make sure I had seen the Prada ad campaign for the Spring 2011 collection...the video. Well, I had seen some short banner type versions of this, but I don't remember ever seeing this vid...or, as a bonus, the next one which is equally lovely. And then I found another tasty bit that I added to the bottom that I LOVE...from Miu Miu. (We heart Meow Meow...and Miuccia ! Monique and I do.) The second does show a lot of BAG...and they're all good. ;) AND, YES....they are all done amazingly well. I was wondering if these, too, are virals or if they paid YouTube an ad fee? And if they can create this kind of video ad campaign that plays all over, why would they need to pay all the magazines? Interesting...and sounds like Ratatat did the music. But not sure.

PS PS...ONE good point Monique made was that she's satisfied now that she's seen the vids because the print ads "didn't do it justice." It being the collection. And I totally agree. She also said, "Sunglasses, please!" :)♡

Above is gorgeous and so is the backstage Prada shoot video below. Just impeccable. This is branding. This is the way I like it done....

...and the gorgeous gorgeous Miu Miu Fall 2010/ 2011 ad campaign video below...with the gorgeous voice of BOY GEORGE. Love him.

TUESDAY TAILOR ♥ PETER JENSEN FALL 2012

So maybe the lovely Peter Jensen didn't do a show but that doesn't mean he was a no-show when it comes to a new collection for next season. And, per usual, it's adorable and quirky and young and fun.  Sort of has the same vibe as the Cacharel gnomes collection I covered here . Here's the Peter Jensen Fall 2012 collection for you to see and decide for yourself...it looks like the collection was inspired by Anna Karina. If you haven't read the book (you should be reading books!), then there is a really good movie version with, I think, Julie Christie. The GORGEOUS Julie Christie...who should be one of my Girl Friday posts, actually.♡

gorgeous colorful very peter jensen shot

love the shot and the red tights.

and this shot, too. lovely.

love the 60s cap. i have a few vintage knit ones of these. love them.

MAKEUP MONDAY ♥ PARISIAN BALLERINA

I absolutely LOVE some of the things about this video for a make up tutorial from/for Bourjois cosmetics. Bourjois seems so lovely. I think they used to carry it in the U.S....but I can't find it at all. Which sucks because it's such a cute lovely girly brand. This video is for a "Parisian Ballerina" look. Which is a lovely amazing idea in the first place for a look...plus the make up is gorgeous and gorgeously applied, and the coloring of the entire piece is really pretty....but...BUT the music is awful and I think the editing could be better. Because everything else about it is so pretty. I mean, even the make up is really pretty...I love the soft pink face with the black nails. Well, you can see what you think. If you like the music, awesome. But if you feel like there's something mismatched about it, then you can start the video below and then play the Bourjois video with the sound off and watch it that way. That's what I did. Yes, I'm a weirdo. But all creatives are. ;) OH and PS...Bourjois! Please either send me product or please start selling in the United States again! I'd love to have access to those lovely compacts! They look like little bonbons! And I really do love so much about the video...but just not the music or the editing.♡

OK...so start the video below first (it's old old classical! just a first thought. i'm sure if i thought about it for a while more, i could have come up with a better match...perhaps.)...then start the video above but turn the volume off. ta-da...new soundtrack.

YEA NEWS! ♥ NANCY GIRL & STYLELIST.COM

YEA! I've been waiting to announce it...but NANCY GIRL is now part of the esteemed STYLELIST.COM NETWORK! WOOHOO! I'm excited because there are a lot of cool new changes/things going on over there in NYC. And I'm stoked to be a part of it! You're probably going to see some ads on here but I'm going to make sure they are as chic as the site. I don't want a million things all over the blog. But I am excited. :) 

So thanks for reading...really...I truly appreciate the people who get it. I don't cover everything and I don't care to cover everything. I don't even cover everything I like. I only cover a very specific niche of things that I think a specific type of girl (or boy) would be into. Anyway...more news soon. Thx again and hope you are having an awesome day! Going to still try to do another makeup post as I have a ton of new things to tell you about there, too! xx♡
