Can I see more commercials like this please?

First saw this commercial the other day on USA. I love it. Beautifully done and some really wonderful information. Cheers Sprint.

We all use technology, but it is still crazy to think about everything that is going on right now. So much information.

The Flower Show: Dream in Color

Posted in found!!!, irl on April 20th, 2009 by Samantha – Be the first to comment

Every spring Herald Square’s Macy’s has the flower show. Throughout the sales floor are amazing displays of flowers from all around the world and different climates. The already crowded tourist hot spot is even more packed during this show. And for good reason! There are flower sculptures of animals and dresses and water displays with fountains.

But the outside window displays are not to be forgotten though. Macy’s always impresses. I was more interested in the outdoor displays rather than the real flowers indoors. This year they decorated the window displays with some stunning handmade paper flower sculptures by Eloise Corr Danch. She is Brooklyn based designer and artist. I love her work!

10am in front of Top Shop

Top Shop is finally in the states.

While working in SoHo, I kept a close eye on what was happening across the street. The girls in the office and I watched for months as Top Shop was being built. After a few delays, Top Shop/Top Man have finally opened their doors.

While walking to work on in the morning, there was already a line outside before it even opened. My editor told me that on their opening day, there was a 2 block long line to get in. Crazy! After work on Friday. I went to investigate.

It was super crowded of course. But well worth it to see this store. The displays were beautiful! Really well designed. I love the use of hand drawn type. Lovely flower displays. Mannequins with some real attitude. High ceilings. Neon lights. Good British music. Ribbons. Collage artwork and type. Overall, the store has a great energy, mood, and feel to it.It’s busy but organized. The size of the rooms with their high ceilings give it more air so you don’t feel too closed in. They really displayed the clothes well. From the mannequins, to the hangers, it’s well done. I really liked the different shapes of the clothes racks. It’s fun. I dig it.

The customers and potential customers/visitors inside were also a sight to see. It seemed like all the fashionistas of both sexes were there in full force. It’s nice seeing hipsters in another store other than Urban Outfitters. The clothes seem over priced, but we’ll see what happens after a few months. And obviously there is no sale section yet. I’m looking forward to eventually shopping there. Like, when there isn’t a line to get in.

Cheers Top Shop! Welcome to the states!
