This week, my coworker Joel brought in a massive stack of vintage NYLON, Jalouse and FLAUNT magazines for me! I can’t wait to sit down and flip through their pristine pages to see what 2003 was like (I was in college full time and need a refresher!)

All week, I’ve been surrounded by black and white stacks of logo concepts at work (top image) and collage & merch ideas at home (bottom). I love it!

And then, ironically enough I came home and watched the uncut version of Michael Jackson’s Black or White video. The last few minutes always blow me away.

On Wednesday, I was in a meeting all day where we went over trend forecasting with some clients and guess who popped up on one of the sheets? Everyone’s favorite communist (with the fanciest sunglasses around) Kim Jong il! Haha.

After a few hours of discussing logos and trends, we went out to lunch. I won’t get into the toxic orange sludge that coated most of the guy’s fingers. Though, it should be noted that many pitchers of Rainier beer were consumed to wash it all down.

Our clients are awesome and sure know how to have a good time. Obviously.

I finally tracked down a pair of the black Dries heels from the Fall 2007 collection. They’re basic, classic and actually stay on my feet. Score!

How was your first full week of 2009?
