Make The Most Of Your Closet Space!

imageLuckily my apartment came with two closets, because I’ll tell you one thing about living with a guy– they’re messy. And the closet is the worst. What I’ve discovered after having my own closet at my disposal over the past two months was something that surprised me: I, in fact, am a bit messy as well. My well-organized shoes rack turned out to be too much of a hassle, and I’ve started just dumping my shoes into any old spot in the closet as soon as I get home. My special skirt hangers have become more decoration than anything else, because they are over-crowded and shoved somewhere in the back half of the closet where it’s tough to reach. Something had to change. So I did a little research. I chose an over-the-door shoe rack which saves floor space and discourages me from throwing my stuff on the floor. I got a great revolving belt hanger that doubles as a tie rack, and some hanging shelf organizers took care of the stray winter clothes and I don’t wear during the summer, but don’t have room to store. Now maybe I can get around to doing the same thing for the hall closet€¦

Study Finds Consumers Like Beating Designers at Their Own Game

0827designconsume.jpg

It’s not available online yet, but the latest study from the Journal of Consumer Research sounds like an interesting one. It’s C. Page Moreau and Kelly B. Herd‘s “To Each His Own? How Comparisons to Others Influence Consumers’ Evaluations of their Self-Designed Products” and the press release associated with it says it looks into how consumers enjoy rejecting professional design in favor of things of their own creation. The researchers also report that “consumers enjoy intentionally competing against professionals.” So not only does the buying public like to make its own stuff, it likes to flaunt that in the face of working designers? Seems like an interesting bit of research. However, though we haven’t read the study yet, we’re a little concerned about its definition of “design,” as the press release seems to infer that people like working purely with the aesthetics (in this case, “skins” are mentioned several times) of an object, which is certainly not the only thing “design” does in “design.” Does your average Joe like researching the best types of thread to use to stitch together those shoes? Or the most usable build of that MP3 player’s operating system? Sounds as though the study is really about consumers like being given the illusion of “design” by a product’s creators by letting them tinker around with the base aesthetics. But, again, this is just reading into the press release. We’re eager to read the full piece.

Influential International Style: Diane Kruger

imageDiane Kruger knows what’s up. As the female lead in Inglorious Basterds, as well as the less recent classics like Troy and Wicker Park, she never fails to sparkle in a performance. Although she won the Cannes Chopard Trophy in 2003, I have to say that her performance at Cannes this year really put her in the stratosphere. Her style is impeccable. She takes risks in interesting sleeves, cutaways, crazy patterns and haute couture texture. She tends to stick with basic black, but chooses outrageous texture and true haute couture. It’s no wonder she’s Karl Lagerfeld’s little darling! One of the reasons she’s looked so good lately? Karl himself has used her as a muse since she appeared in Chanel handbag ads in 2007.
