Very Good Girl Glam by Carolina Herrera has my attention
I had the chance to smell this and I was wowed. If you remember, I had the chance to wear test the less glamorous forerunner, Very Good Girl. I was underwhelmed by that with its longevity and how it sat on my skin. This new member of the Good Girl family has my attention. (Image…

Dior x Thebe Magugu x CTAOP, all for a good cause
Dior have partnered with Thebe Magugu for a special collection. Sales from the items support the CTAOP, or the Charlize Theron African Outreach Project.

I am not ready for Christmas ads yet. It’s only just now Halloween.

Last one on celebrity endorsers: What do/should I think?
Over the past couple days, I wrote about high profile celebrity endorsers and brand decisions when they fall into scandal. I did continue to do some digging about how brands choose their responses. (I found this article in the Harvard Business Review, When Scandal Engulfs a Celebrity Endorser, should you want to read more on…

And why Nike stayed with Tiger Woods
Yesterday I wrote about the reason brands are cutting ties with Ye, linking it to a branding decision. I touched on the idea that brands choose to distance themselves from negative publicity, because people will transfer a spokesperson’s personal antics to their image of the brand. On the other side, not all negative publicity matters.…

Why brands are dropping Ye (Kanye West)
It is very likely that you are at least slightly aware of the recent controversy surrounding Ye (formerly known as Kanye West). A quick rundown of the most recent stuff: I’m not writing about any of that per se. You are left on your own to think out your opinion on the man and his…
