I really really hated Rebecca Black's original song, "Friday". But this was before I heard the version Stephen Colbert and Jimmy Fallon came up with. Now, I just hate it.

J.Crew Goes to Italy - About A Print
The last installment of J.Crew's documentary, on their trip to Italy has finally been released. This time, it is all "About A Print". Jenna Lyons and her team travel to Como where highly esteemed mills Ratti and Canepa are located. With archives reaching back to the 19th century, we get a glimpse of fabrics that could easily be taken as ones created today. Nobody really does print and colour like the Italians.
More importantly, nobody does mainstream fashion like J.Crew. Rather than go with the fast fashion craze that is striking many a retailer, J.Crew has made the decision to go back to times of bespoke fashion where no detail is too small nor unimportant. This has definitely contributed to their success in an age where consumers (both female and male) have access to large amounts of information and they are becoming smarter about what they buy. Value is slowly overcoming brand names and super-low prices; something which has mysteriously stumped many formerly successful companies. It will be interesting to see how J.Crew develops as a company and whether a new fashion empire has been born. Watch out PPR and LVMH.

EF Language Schools
This is what I should have done instead of going to little Jouy-en-Josas where the trains to Paris were always on strike. Merci beaucoup RER! To be honest, I loved my professors at HEC and I learned alot from them. However, my French did not improve one bit. If I ever get the chance to go abroad and study a new language, I will probably go with EF Language Schools. Such beautiful and original videos!

Currently Loving: French food
(Cooking Dinner Vol. I from William Hereford on Vimeo via the Bedlam of Beefy)
Have you seen Charlie and the Chocolate Factory? The movie with Johnny Depp in it? There's a scene with Mike TV where there is this machine which can break up things into little particles which are then transmitted through the air to reappear on the tv. You can then reach into the tv and grab the object.* I really pray that one day this will really be invented. And then I can just grab fantastic French food off my computer screen.
My heart was beating really fast when I watched this video. I think I am in love.**
*I love Ronald Dahl. I have read and watched all versions of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory several times.
**With the FOOD. The scenes with the duck were just ... (blush)
