TREND.i.e. Poshs' New Pixie Cut

Pixie Cuts here we come. Now that Victoria Beckham revealed a new do, at Marc Jacob's Fashion Week show, be ready to see some after effects with everyone sporting them, after they all criticize it. I loved her cut before, but it was very limiting. This one is great for a change, and she can play around with it a lot more. Black is fierce on her too!

TREND.i.e - Prepping Up Olympic Athletes with Polo Ralph Lauren

To improve the image of America and their athletes, Polo Ralph Lauren has been selected to be the official "outfitter" of the US team at the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing, consisting of 1,500 athletes. The previous "outfitter," Canadian apparel company Roots Ltd. appeared too casual for official representation of United States, so they're upping the ante with preppy polos and vest sweaters.

The Wall Street Journal says that "The preppy styles Polo is making for the athletes to wear in the Opening and Closing ceremonies and in the Olympic Village will mark a departure from sporty outfits that the American team has worn in recent years, such as retro ski jackets inspired by vintage Ducati motorcycle ads that were worn in Turin, Italy, in 2006."

If it does prove successful and have a high revenue return, this initiative will be applied to the "Winter Olympics in Vancouver, Canada, in 2010, the Summer Olympics in London in 2012, and beyond."

TREND.i.e. - Art for a headboard

I never thought my two loves of Art History and Interior Design would be fused in such a way. But I've been noticing a new trend that uses oversized art paintings as headboards in a completely new way. Paramount Hotel in NYC uses Vermeer's rich colored portraits on a completely white canvas of white walls on white sheets on white furniture. Thus, placing all focus on the art, as it should be. Others blend the art to complete the decor of the room.

One + Only offers a collection of modern, classical and even custom art of your own or your kids drawings that can turned into heabboard art, for example.
