Today’s Featured Items: Powder Blue Ties

by trish on February 27, 2010

I learned of the political message men could be sending by the color tie they choose to wear to an important gathering of the minds. Apparently at the recent health care summit the tie color of choice was powder blue.

“the display of powder blue was bipartisan. Wolf Blitzer even wore a powder blue tie to analyze what the men in powder blue ties had just said.” – Scott Simon, NPR

So if powder blue is the color of choice to show we can all get along politically speaking, I think we are going to need a few more options. Here we have our best powder blues to help us put our most non-confrontational foot forward as we move through a growing number of mind field issues. The bonus is a small business will be helped by the purchase making it a double politically correct thing to do. The trifecta – buying one made of sustainable silk not only making us kind but conscious as well.

Me personally, I agree with Scott Simon’s second to the last statement, “Diversity shouldn’t be defined just by a man or woman’s ethnicity, but the diversity of their ideas and interests. Politicians shouldn’t cringe from revealing a little personality.”  What do you think?

Welcome to #16 – the good news

by Mo on June 12, 2008

What’s Going On

It is hot out, that’s what is going on. Summer has arrived fast and furious. We figure you don’t have all day to surf Smashing Darling to find goodies to stay cool in, and still look smashing…so we did it for you! Dresses and tanks will get you through, and here is a scattering some fresh attire from some new, some original, Darlings (much more here).

Don’t forget dad this weekend! Maybe he has a little fashion darling in him? Old school dad may be hard to buy for, maybe a indie tie will do. New dad, no problem; show him how cool you think he is with a funky t-shirt, wallet, or maybe some Manplastic!

What’s New

New friends! The Darling’s have smashed up with Venuszine this month: when you subscribe
to the magazine you are automatically entered into a drawing to win a $25 gift certificate to
Smashing Darling. There will be 25 lucky winners for the gift certificates. What is Venuszine? If you don’t know, click quick! and check it out. Venuszine is the leading source for coverage of women in music, art, film, fashion, and DIY culture. Venuszine.com is the daily updated companion to the quarterly, internationally circulated magazine.

Coming Soon

Indie Style Scene will be a new segment for the blog, we want to know how you wear your indie. Here is your chance to show off your favorite indie fashion find. We want to know who you are and what you love, and want others to know too. This will be a weekly feature. We think the long arm of cool indie reaches far and wide and we want to highlight that. To get more details email trish@smashingdarling.com.
By the way, are you ready for Smashing Darling Version 2? We hope so, because it is right around the corner, and one day soon you are going to bump right into our new look.

Smashing Kudos and tidbits

Goodness, there is lots to share! Ready? Here we go: Indiestylefile lusts after Dahl dress….many thanks to Deb and Wendy, our DIYcity friends, for shouting out Darling love to the Stylehive….Coupon Cowgirl loves our one-of-a-kind (scroll to May 22)….PR Couture digs SCAD senior fashion show….our new friends at the Style Observer fall for Lara Miller, who wouldn’t?! Style.com gave DRES some perforation praise, his bags are seriously sexy.…and last but not least, an oldie but goodie, summer love for Krelwear on the Urban Outfitters blog!

Until next month, stay cool and stay smashing!

cheers! ~ the Darlings
