Link Love: 9.3.09
• The New York Times’ T Magazine often comissions artists to create their own interpretations of its logo and is sharing some of the standouts of 2009.
• Font War: IKEA fans are fuming over the iconic furniture chain’s switch from a customized version of Futura to the homogenized Verdana typeface.
• 50 logos using Helvetica (via LoveHelvetica).
• New Amsterdam Village: To commemorate the 400th anniversary of Hudson’s arrival in New York Harbor in 1609, the Dutch are building a replica colonial village at Bowling Green. It consists of 12 traditional Dutch canal houses and even includes a windmill!
• In case you were curious, here is a collection of Michael Jackson shirts recently worn by fans to a birthday tribute party hosted by Spike Lee.
• I really do wish that spraypaint came in Pantone colors.
• 9 things to do to make sure your blog post is read by more than your mom.
• Wow. People of Walmart is a blog that’s dedicated to the amazing assortment of people that shop at Walmart. Click at your own risk!
• Dolce and Gabbana’s new collection is inspired by Marilyn Monroe and features her face printed across most of the items. I love the pop aspect. They managed to keep it classy, unlike the usual cheesy tribute shirts people wear with their favorite celebrities emblazoned across the front.
• Signature 9 just compiled a list of the 99 most influential style blogs.

Hi Nubby … totally unrelated question, but you are the expert in MiuMiu bags(!), so …
I just bought one off Trademe (NZ version of Ebay) and it was sold as “authentic”, had a receipt from Barneys New York (in which the code for it and the year, price etc checked out from what I could find on the internet). The stitching is great, beautiful leather, everything looks right. However … there is no “code” that I can find anywhere, and I just wondered if you knew if all MiuMiu bags have one? I’m guessing they do, in which case I’ve just bought a lovely fake, but if not, then maybe I got really lucky and got a real one for a pretty reasonable price. Either way, it’s a very big, beautiful leather bag for cheap! Look forward to your answer. Karen

Jules: Fantastic selections, thanks for sharing!
Carson Shold: You’re welcome, it’s a great one!
Karen: I could be mistaken but I don’t recall any of mine having a serial number on the inside. My big black one has a small tag on the inside of the inner pocket that says ‘Made in Turkey’ and there is another small tag under that with a three digit number. As far as I know, Miu Miu doesn’t have a serial number setup like you’d find with LV. etc.

Hi Nubby … oh that’s interesting. Maybe I did get lucky then after all. I do love it either way, but would prefer it not to be fake obviously, not only because it would be nice if it were real, but more because I don’t really want to be supporting the counterfeit trade. Have a great weekend.
