Dior is promoting their Lady Dior bags by making four promotional mini movies. The first movie ”Lady Noir” was released last year, and the second movie “Lady Rouge” is out now. Personally, I think the movies are not that interesting, but “Lady Rouge” made me jump up and down with joy. The music for the promo film is made by the masters of catchy pop tunes: Franz Ferdinand.  The song is amazing, although it’s completely out of place in this commercial. I mean, the designer bag buying ladies don’t give a f….k about Franz Ferdinand, and it seems such a waste to use a brilliant song in a mediocre commercial.  

The lead vocals of the song  “The Eyes of Mars” are by french Actress Marion Cotillard. She’s not only doing the movies, but is also starring in the printed Lady Dior advertisment campaign.

The movie was shot in New York in 2009, directed by Jonas Akerlund. The next part of  the Lady Dior series will be filmed in Shanghai by David Lynch (!).

After some great coverage of our products last year, we’re pleased that 2010 is looking to be just as good for media coverage. In the last few weeks Hampton Blue has appeared in Women’s Way, where they loved the Nadia Minkoff bags, and the Sunday Tribune, where the Dandy compact was a top favourite.

The Nadia Minkoff range is a hit with customers and the media too. Women’s Way liked the Nadia Minkoff beautiful silk brooch purses with jewelled clasp fastening which we currently have available in colours including claret, midnight blue and grey as well as mulberry/gold and grey/gold patterned versions.

Find out more about the Nadia Minkoff range in a recent post on the blog.

Just a little update on my knitting and felting adventures to-day. I felted three new style pouches they are made with different yarns and therefore will look slightly different.
This is the shape but the three to-day are different colours, lime green, earthy brown and a dark sea foam green, I love to buy new yarns and play with them to see how they will work out.
Finding good felting yarn can be a bit of a challenge around here I used to have a local yarn shop that sold great yarn for felting but unfortunately they no longer carry it.
We have also had a few car problems so knitting and felting have been somewhat sporadic due to the fact that we had to take the van to the garage for repairs. Thank goodness for my scooter !! I love it as you can see, it is pictured above with my knitting is knotty sticker and some skeins in lovely colours.
So my pouches are drying by the woodstove and I look forward to finding suitable buttons for closures although I did have a thought …to make funky felted buttons. Do you do that… have wildly creative thoughts when you are driving along and cannot write them down?… and my mind is not the sort that remembers all that well at the moment ! need I say more.

I’m always posting looks from girls 5′-5′4″, but this blog is for the 5′4″ and UNDER meaning the 4-foot-somethings too! I felt kinda bad so I’m posting a look from Adrienne Bailon (4′11″). This look is reallllly cute, I love it so I’m posting it!

Here it is:

Adrienne In NYC

I love that tweed jacket it’s so cute! I like the leggings too, I think they’re liquid leggings. And the Louboutins are AMAZING. This whole outfit is perfect.

Balenciaga City Bag $1,275.00 This is the exact same bag Adrienne Bailon is wearing in the picture above (You can probably find a bad similar to this that's cheaper)

So I must tell you that where I work we sell some products from Blue Q. We do not sell all their products though, and I wish we did. I absolutley love almost all of there products, especially there totes and breath sprays. Not that I ever use breath sprays, it is just what they say. I just wanted to share. Here are some of my favorite items.

I want one of these cuffs so badly!

Or one of these water bottles…..

This spring weather is making me antsy. I wanna put that winter coat away soon. It also has me thinking about shopping. I checked out Need Supply’s site today and found some cool shit…

1000 Mile Boot. Super classic. Looks comfy too. I’m all about boots in nice weather. It’s not as impractical as you think. All these dirty feet shitheads with their flip flops and thong sandals. Yuck.

This shirt is either super cool or fucking obnoxious.

Two bags I really dig. I’m starting to think about cool shit I can get when I start cycling to work.

I have a thing about leather goods with a raw edge that’s a different colour.

I like the simplicity of this bag. It’s more classic than the usual Ben Sherman stuff.

What do y’all think about red shorts?

I don’t like anything about this outfit but I want him to get on top of me.

YIKES! On sale! Surprise, surprise.
