Silver Watch
I'm people WATCHing today and learning a bit about the fashion industry while I'm at it. I enjoy the 'sport' of people watching these days. The locale doesn't really matter: park bench, aboard a ferry heading to the islands, in a coffee shop, aboard a cruise ship or at the beach. Interesting subjects abound. I've seen quite a bit of D&G jewelry around but never from whence it came. Now I know. I did a bit of research. It's a high end luxury fashion design house started by Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana. They dress celebrities like Madonna and other red carpet walkers. They've designed costumes for tours and videos of Missy Elliot, Duran Duran, Beyonce and Mary J. Blige. They have outfitted the uniforms for the Italian footballers, A.C. Milan, since 2004. D&G is as they call it a diffusion line of relatively inexpensive jewelry and clothes catering to the younger set. This watch goes for about $200.
Cheap?
I told you I enjoy people WATCHing, didn't I?
While I'm in a fashion mood today, did you know that The Wizard of Oz is the ultimate chick flick?
Two women trying to kill each other over SHOES!
I just want a watch that keeps good time
ReplyDeletehaha. i am such the non-typical woman. hate shopping. don't care much for fashion. name brands do not impress. :)
ReplyDeleteRecently I bought a $20 watch for everyday knock-around use . . . and I have had more compliments on that watch than any other watch I've ever owned. Go figure . . .
ReplyDeleteIt has been my favorite sport for very long.
ReplyDeleteI can honestly say I had never heard of D&G before now. Must not move in those circles. :-)
ReplyDeleteI enjoy people watching, also. You can have the watch. It's too artsy-fartsy for me. I thought D & G stood for Dumb and Goofy.
ReplyDeleteI'm sitting here laughing at Lowell's response. That was only after I was laughing at the "Wizard of Oz" statement.
ReplyDeleteAh, the world of fashion. The designers literally believe they're the center of the universe. The rest of us know better.
ReplyDeleteI want those red shoes! ;-))
ReplyDeleteChick flic? Arghhhh!
ReplyDeletePeople watching is fun isn't it. I just found your blog and am a new follower. I like your style of writing.
ReplyDeleteYes, but hasn't anyone told you that EVERY woman needs a pair of red shoes?!
ReplyDeleteYou've inspired me to get out and do more people watching Birdman.. Wearing my red shoes whilst doing so :)
ReplyDeleteYou can do a lot of people watching here in Berlin. And it's very interesting!
ReplyDeleteI think I need to try this. It's unobtrusive and anonymous enough. You won't catch me with a D&G logo like that one though. Way too blingy.
ReplyDeleteAnd, about a month ago Messrs. Dolce and Gabanna were given an 18 months suspended sentence for hiding more than a billion dollars from Italian tax authorities . . . gotta read the papers, too.
