The Top 5 Trendy Jumpsuits For Your Spring Wardrobe!

Unless you have been living under a rock the past few months, you probably have noticed that jumpsuits are the key piece for your spring/summer wardrobe. Once relegated to construction workers, Studio 54 mavens and small children, the jumpsuit has broken out once again. While this trend has been brewing for a while, it’s finally hit fever pitch. I was an early adopter of the trend, rocking vintage jumpsuits and a great little linen romper from Uniqlo last summer; I am so incredibly happy that one-piece ensembles, long and short, are everywhere now! My search for these one-piece wonders used to be confined to vintage stores and a few specialty stores, and it’s like my options have quadrupled. There€™s nothing easier than one piece dressing! Throw on a casual short romper with some flats and a cardigan for day. By night, your options are limitless! Menswear-inspired tuxedo jumpsuits are subtly sexy with some heels for a night out. Embellished jumpsuits with the right jewelry and attitude can totally replace your cocktail dress. Check out the slideshow for my top 5 jumpsuits to get you set for the season and beyond!

BakerTweet – Insider tips from your local bakery

BakerTweet.jpg

The BakerTweet Box sends updates on every fresh tray of cakes and pastries as they come out of the oven, so you’ll know when to time your visit to the bakery. Proving once again that necessity is the mother of invention, the team at POKE’s London office built BakerTweet for the Albion, their favorite bakery across the road from the office.

Everyone knows the best time to get your baked goods is when they’re fresh out the oven. So we figured that this could be a killer use of Twitter. Letting followers know that fresh goodies are ready right now. But bakeries don’t want laptops or phones lying around in the kitchen. Flour, eggs and technology don’t mix so well.

The prototype was built using open-source electronics platform Arduino and the interaction is minimal, to send a message to local customers following the twiiter feed, you turn the dial to select what’s just been baked and press the button. Simple. POKE will publish a ‘how-to’ in the next days if you want to make one. Given the popularity of the Tweet-a-Watt in the recent Greener Gadgets competition, we’re sure there’s going to be a lot more single-purpose twitter powered devices in the coming year.

Fairfield Inn Rolls Out Redesign with Unintentionally Funny Press Release and Video

0402fairfieldsoccer.jpg

Following that last post, here’s one of those familiar instances where something labeled “viral” is genuinely not interesting. It also will be filed in our Unintentionally Funny Press Releases folder. So the quick story is that the hotel chain Fairfield Inn & Suites (a Marriott subsidiary) has followed the path of Motel 6 and made Laurent Vernhes groan even louder, by redesigning all of their hotels. The redesign is fine for a big “moderate tier” hotel chain and we’re comfortable with that. The problem is that their press release announcing all of this spends most of its time talking about the “new YouTube viral video” they’ve created. For instance, the company’s brand vice president says: “as you can tell from the video, we’re shaking things up in the industry” (it gets sporadically worse from there). But really, while it’s shot well for an inexpensive production and we truly do appreciate that the promo clip features professional soccer players, it’s a video that is not and never will be a) viral (in that it will get viewed many times outside of a limited audience of soccer fans) or b) worth viewing (except for those of us that revel in unintentionally funny things that we can ridicule to make ourselves feel superior to other people) or c) something that has anything to do with introducing the hotel’s new redesign. So please, first go read the full press release, followed by a viewing of said video, and then think about where you believe all of this went wrong. Or you could just ignore this entire rant and our bitter, evil cynicism.

Lakme Fashion Week Presents Fashion For Relief: “Mai Mumbai”

For the past 10 years, Lakme Fashion Week has been India’s premier fashion and trade event. The show, held twice yearly, showcases the country’s vast, unique talent in an extravaganza bursting with color and tradition. This past month’s showcase, however, featured one of the most significant events in India’s fashion repertoire. Mai Mumbai (“I am Mumbai”), a “Fashion For Relief” benefit was held as a tribute to victims of the Mumbai terror attacks last November. Supermodel Naomi Campbell created “Fashion For Relief” (the first show was at New York Fashion Week to benefit victims of Hurricane Katrina) and organized the Lakme show as well. India’s most recognized models, athletes, Bollywood stars, and business leaders proudly took the runway in creations by both Indian and international designers as a way of showing worldwide support and gratitude. With overwhelming participation from Indian designers like Rohit Bal, Ritu Kumar, and Sabyasachi Mukherjee (who you may remember from NYFW Spring ’09) and looks from the likes of Diane von Furstenberg, Oscar de la Renta, YSL, and Carolina Herrera, the show brought sparkle and spotlight to a country and a cause, making the event one that will never be forgotten. Looks from the runway are available for purchase on eBay with all proceeds going to families of the 11/26 attacks. The event took place at Vikram Chatwal’s Dream Hotel in Cochin, India.
