Luxury retailer Saks Inc. is going Canuck, selling itself for $16 a share to Hudson&rsquo;s Bay, owner of department store chain Lord &amp; Taylor.
<p><strong><a href="http://www.outlettiffanyonline.com">tiffany</a></strong> The deal represents a 30% premium to Saks&rsquo; stock price on May 20, just before speculation emerged about a possible acquisition. The price is 4.5% above Saks&rsquo; closing price Friday.</p>
<p><strong><a href="http://www.outlettiffanyonline.com">tiffany outlet online</a></strong> The companies pegged the total value of the deal at $2.9 billion, including debt.</p>
<p><strong><a href="http://www.outlettiffanyonline.com">wholesale tiffany jewelry</a></strong> Together, Saks and Hudson&rsquo;s Bay will create a business that spans luxury, mid-tier and outlet retail categories, with 320 stores total. The Canadian company said it expects roughly $97.3 million in cost savings over three years.</p>
<p><strong><a href="http://www.outlettiffanyonline.com">tiffany silver</a></strong> New York-based Saks has 41 of its eponymous upscale stores as well as 67 outlet locations under the Off 5th banner. The most substantial demand for shipped Saks products comes from Canada.</p>
<p><strong><a href="http://www.outlettiffanyonline.com">wholesale tiffany jewelry</a></strong> Hudson&rsquo;s Bay runs its namesake department store brand, which it says is the largest of its kind in Canada. The company also operates the country&rsquo;s largest home specialty superstore line, Home Outfitters, and Lord &amp; Taylor in the U.S.</p>
<p><strong><a href="http://www.outlettiffanyonline.com">tiffany</a></strong> Hudson&rsquo;s Bay was founded in 1670, which it says makes it the longest continually operated company in North America.</p>
<p>Both the Hudson&rsquo;s Bay and Saks boards approved the acquisition, which is expected to close before the end of the year. Saks shareholders and regulators have yet to sign off on the deal.</p>
<p>Saks can also take advantage of a 40-day &ldquo;go shop&rdquo; period in which it can solicit better proposals from more suitors.</p>
<p>Otherwise, the luxury chain and its bargain offshoot will operate separately under the Hudson&rsquo;s Bay umbrella, likely with its existing management team, according to Hudson&rsquo;s Bay. It will remain headquartered in New York.</p>
<p>In late morning trading in New York, Saks was trading up 56 cents, or 3.7%, at $15.88 a share.</p>

[b][url=http://www.jewelrytiffany.com]wholesale tiffany jewelry[/url][/b] When planning your wedding, figuring out your budget can be an emotional experience. Balancing your own desires with your family's and your future in-laws' expectations can definitely bring about denial, anger, bargaining, and depression. Here is our guide to getting through each of the stages of wedding budget grief and making it all the way to the final phase: acceptance.
[b]<a href="http://www.jewelrytiffany.com">cheap tiffany & co</a>[/b]

Phase 1: "A wedding costs how much?"
[b][url=http://www.jewelrytiffany.com]tiffany outlet store[/url][/b] Despite years of attending weddings and seeing weddings on blogs or in tabloids, you may have lost all sense of what a not-lavish-but-still-including-most-of-the-"traditional"-trappings wedding actually costs. As you start to do your research, there will be some sticker shock. "There must be some mistake," you'll think. "There is no way that they mean to charge us $5,000 for the venue before we've even paid for the food." Right? Wrong.
Get through it by... doing research to get a sense of the going rate for a wedding in the city where you want to be married, as well as a few other cities. You'll start to get an idea of what your dream wedding costs in different areas and will quickly get a sense of what venues are outrageously priced and which are pretty average.

Phase 2: "F*ck the wedding industry...and f*ck you for even wanting a wedding!"
Once you've moved past denial, you head into phase two: anger. Anger at the wedding industry for charging so much money to feed 75 people, anger at your sister for insisting you need the letterpressed invitations, and, worst of all, anger at your fiance for wanting anything for the wedding that costs any sort of money. Suddenly, his or her desire for that $2.50-per-slice wedding cake seems like the end of the world. "Why am I even marrying this person, anyway?" you'll ask yourself as you stare at your spreadsheet trying to figure out how on earth you'll afford the live band your fiance can't live without.
Get through it by... remembering that you and your fiance are on the same side. Once you start thinking of it as the two of you against the $20,000 food and beverage minimum at your dream venue, wedding planning will get much easier. You and your beloved can stop fighting each other and instead work together to come up with creative ways to save money.

Phase 3: "Do you offer any sort of discounts? Maybe we could just get a friend to do the pictures..."
During the bargaining phase, you may start attempting to haggle with wedding vendors or trying to find someone who is less experienced to do your wedding on the cheap. This is the point at which you start thinking, "OK, I could totally bake the cake myself and make my own dress...even though I don't even own a sewing machine!"
Get through it by... considering that wedding professionals are often small business owners and they charge what they do for a reason. It's OK to ask if, say, you could save money by having your wedding on a weekday, but it's not cool to accuse them of trying to rip you off or pushing them to work for less than they're worth. And while we love a DIY weddings, they certainly aren't for every couple. If you don't have any sort of aptitude for arts and crafts, it might be better to scale back your wedding expectations instead of planning to do everything yourself.

Phase 4: "I don't even want a wedding anymore...let's just elope."
There will come a point when you'll think you've moved on to acceptance, but then something will happen -- a fight with your mom about the favors, the realization that you forgot to budget for postage for the invites -- and you'll hit the depression phase. Wedding planning? It's for rich people, which you certainly are not. "I don't even care ," you'll tell your fiance as you stare out the window despondently. "Let's just go to Vegas."
Get through it by... figuring out what you really want. If you never wanted a big wedding to begin with and you feel like the stress of wedding planning is hurting your relationship, go ahead and elope! But if you're just frustrated by the planning process, don't give up. Talk to the people closest to you and let them know that you've reached a breaking point. If you need your mom to stop obsessing about the favors, tell her that. If you need your fiance to scale back on spending so you aren't so stressed about money, say so. You don't have to go through this alone.

Phase 5: "Even though our budget isn't huge, this wedding is going to be amazing."
Eventually, you'll realize that, like it or not, you're stuck with the budget you have and you're going to have to make the best of it. You'll start focusing on the things that really matter (you're marrying the love of your life!) and think less about the things you can't afford (no one is going to remember that you didn't serve steak).
Get through it by... putting on your fancy clothes, having a glass of champagne, and remembering that if you end the day married, your wedding will have been a success.

Create A Budget And Stick To It The most important tip cited by many wedding experts is to create a budget plan before you purchase anything -- and stick to it. Wedding experts &lt;a href=&quot;http://susansoutherland.com/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Susan Southerland&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.samanthagoldberg.com/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Samantha Goldberg&lt;/a&gt; agreed that couples need to sit down and figure out exactly what their wedding &quot;must-haves&quot; are and how much they want to spend. &quot;If they don't have a level head and they haven't started thinking, 'Here's what I can spend without getting into trouble,' they wind up going with their heart and not sticking to it,&quot; Southerland said. And, if you follow your budget, you shouldn't have any problems with overspending. &quot;If they have a blueprint, there won't be a reason to feel like they're going to go over, because they've been on this plan the entire time,&quot; Goldberg said (download her wedding budget tracker &lt;a href=&quot;http://www1.hilton.com/ts/en_US/landing/gtstqut_inside.html#header&quot;&gt;here&lt;/a&gt;). Cut The Guest List By cutting the guest list, you can save exponentially on things like flowers, tables, and square footage, said wedding planner &lt;a href=&quot;http://marcyblum.com/&quot;&gt;Marcy Blum&lt;/a&gt;. You'll have a better event if you invite fewer guests, rather than eliminating services like an open bar and proper facilities. &quot;It would be much better to cut the guest list than cut the wait staff. There's no point in doing something halfway,&quot; Blum said. Buy Discounted Gift Cards Money-saving expert &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.hasslefreesavings.com/&quot;&gt;Kendal Perez&lt;/a&gt; offered this little-known tip: buy used gift cards from stores you'd like to purchase wedding items from at &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.giftcardgranny.com/&quot;&gt;GiftCardGranny.com&lt;/a&gt;. When shoppers receive a gift card to a store they don't like, they can sell the card on GiftCardGranny.com for less than face value -- meaning you can buy the card and save up to 30 percent. For example, there are cards available from 1-800 Flowers, Tiffany, and wedding dress retailers like J. Crew. &quot;It’s a different way to save money without having to shop sales, but if you can couple that with something on sale then you’re getting even more savings,&quot; Perez said. Don't Go Crazy With Rental Items &lt;a href=&quot;matthewrobbinsdesign.com/&quot;&gt;Matthew Robbins&lt;/a&gt;, author of &quot;Matthew Robinns' Inspired Weddings,&quot; cautioned couples against renting too many fancy items, and instead recommended mixing in just a few special pieces with items already included in your venue. For example, rent a unique water or champagne glass to add something special to the table, or use a simple cloth from the venue for the tables and rent a beautiful overlay or runner to dress things up. &quot;Choose wisely and consider rental items as a special accent to embellish what your venue provides,&quot; Robbins said. Avoid Holidays Holidays are more expensive, plain and simple, said wedding planner &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.yifatoren.com/&quot;&gt;Yifat Oren&lt;/a&gt;. &quot;You might think it's easier for people to get time off work, but they'll be spending more money all around on travel and accommodations, not to mention the challenges with availability during high season times,&quot; she said. Get On Your Vendors' Mailing And Social Media Lists Sign up for all your potential vendors' email lists and follow them on social media in order to get the first scoop on deals, contests, and freebies, said &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.sharonnaylor.net/&quot;&gt;Sharon Naylor&lt;/a&gt;, wedding expert and author of &quot;The Bride's Guide To Freebies.&quot; You'll hear about clearance sales, &quot;Pin It To Win It&quot; contests on Pinterest, trunk shows and more deals you wouldn't have known about otherwise. &quot;If you’re following them and keeping a good eye on them, you can cash in on some great stuff,&quot; Naylor said. Do What YOU Want, Not What People Expect Don't feel like you need to spend money on things you don't really need but feel like you have to have, said money-saving expert &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.hasslefreesavings.com/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Kendal Perez&lt;/a&gt;. Skip wedding traditions that seem necessary, like programs and favors. &quot;I don’t think I've ever kept a wedding favor. Those things are unnecessary expenses,&quot; Perez said. &quot;Make sure you're planning the party you want and you're not including things just because everyone includes them.&quot; Maintain A Good Relationship With Your Vendors Vendors will sometimes give discounts to clients they enjoyed working with and, if you ask, may agree to give you freebies or substitutions, said wedding expert &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.sharonnaylor.net/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Sharon Naylor&lt;/a&gt;. But don't forget to be nice! &quot;You cannot be a steamroller and you can't demand it and you can't say, 'Well, I heard you gave my friend a free [food] station so what am I going to get?'&quot; Naylor said. &quot;When vendors don't like you you're not going to get as many freebies.&quot; Don't Be Afraid To Explore Alternative Party Formats There's no rule that you must have a pricey dinner or cocktail hour for all of your guests, said wedding planner &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.alwaysabridesmaid.us/&quot;&gt;Xochtil Gonzalez&lt;/a&gt;. As long as you give guests something to eat and drink, that constitutes a party. Hire a food truck or consider holding a brunch on a Sunday afternoon. &quot;If you know you have a fun crowd that’s going to dance no matter what if the music’s good and they’ve had a couple drinks, there’s no reason to force yourself to just have a nighttime party,&quot; Gonzalez said. Register With Your Vendors Instead of registering for kitchen supplies you don't really need, wedding planner &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.samanthagoldberg.com/&quot;&gt;Samantha Goldberg&lt;/a&gt; said you can actually register for wedding items such as a videographer or upgraded room on your honeymoon. Many vendors will make cards you can put in your invitations explaining your request to your guests. &quot;You'd be surprised -- everyone pitches in here and there and suddenly you now have this money to have something you thought you wanted but weren't able to afford,&quot; Goldberg said.

The end of season sale has been an apparel fever that went viral in the city. As the sale nears its end, retailers are now expecting accessories like bags, watches and small gifts to pick up with the arrival of festive season. With festivities of Eid and Raksha Bandhan , retailers say that they have new needs to cater to. Other strategies to woo shoppers in the post season sale period would be the said-and-known promos, freebies, gift vouchers, gift cards.

The city would soon be over with the shopping spree as August would mark the end of season sale for most brands. But the silver lining is the festivities like Eid and Raksha Bandhan, which retailers expect would help them in the lull period post end of season sale. &ldquo;It&rsquo;s the non-apparel like watches, bags and gifts that will pick up during Eid and pre Raksha Bandhan. We noticed an 18-20% increase last year for these products. The highest selling category was shoes &amp; bags followed by watches &amp; jewelry&rdquo;, said Ishita Yashvi, Assistant General Manager, Marketing at DLF Prominad.

Although festivities are expected to boost sales retailers are keeping their fingers crossed. &ldquo;The sale during the festive periods is unpredictable and if it&rsquo;s a long weekend, it could drive people to enjoy &amp;shop, else could also induce the prospective customers to opt for a mini holiday&rdquo; said Ishaan Sachdeva, Director, Alberto Torresi. Sachdeva further explains that the retailers and brands keep tap on the actual days on which these festivities fall to strategize their plans. Retailers expect that an exclusive short term promo or impromptu heavy discount would usually push the sale up. The retailers on their part are also keeping the shops open for longer than usual hours in the pre Eid period.

As for the apparel, industry insiders argue that is not expected to pick up before October or start of November. This is because of the change in the season and the short period of autumn when people don&rsquo;t really pick clothes for winter or summer. This will be followed by the dip of fifteen days which happens during Shraad before Dushehra when Hindus don&rsquo;t buy expensive jewellery, food takes hit as most non-vegetarians refrain from consuming meat. Such times accessories are what shoppers usually pick. The shops are also expected to soon be up with their new merchandise.

Alistair Gordon, Founder and Managing Director of Value Access that provides loyalty and Customer Relation Management programs to brands like Benetton, Pizza Hut, Baskin &amp; Robins argues that the objective to have &lsquo;more sales, more customers and more money&rsquo; continues irrespective of any time of the year. Many brands have started aggressively using customer loyalty programs, gift cards, promotional vouchers post the end of season sale. &ldquo;I expect Indian to respond much better than West to these programs because in India if customers feel that they have got a special deal that nobody else has, they tend to become brand loyal&rdquo;, added Gordon.

This end of season&rsquo;s sale has been a pleasant surprise for most of the brands keeping the economic gloom and apprehensions about low consumer spending in mind. With increased footfalls and higher conversion rates, most of the brands have registered 30-40 per cent increase in their sale.

[b]<a href="http://www.jewelrytiffany.com">tiffany rings</a>[/b] NEW YORK -- Michael Kors is suing Costco saying that it illegally used pictures of its luxury bags in its ads in order to lure in customers without being authorized to sell the designer's wares.
[b][url=http://www.jewelrytiffany.com]tiffany jewelry outlet[/url][/b] In a federal lawsuit filed in New York, Michael Kors accused Costco of a bait-and-switch scheme. It says Costco advertised the bags as starting at $99, but didn't actually have any to sell.
[b][url=http://www.jewelrytiffany.com]tiffany outlet store[/url][/b] Michael Kors says the ads intentionally exploit the popularity of its bags, which can retail for several hundred dollars, and lure consumers away from authorized retailers.
[b]<a href="http://www.jewelrytiffany.com">stores sell tiffany jewelry</a>[/b] Costco has also been sued recently by Tiffany & Co. for alleged illegal use of its trademarks.
[b][url=http://www.jewelrytiffany.com]cheap tiffany and co jewelry[/url][/b] The lawsuit seeks a halt to the ads along with damages.
Costco Wholesale Corp. officials didn't immediately return an email seeking comment.

Kanye West vs. PETA Kanye West really doesn't know how to hold his tongue, and he also really loves wear fur. So it's safe to say that he and PETA are not on good terms. In one of his songs he raps: &quot;Tell PETA my mink draggin' on the floor.&quot;
PETA fired back, with senior vice president Dan Matthews saying, &quot;What's draggin' on the floor is Kanye's reputation as a man with no empathy for animals or human beings.&quot; Harsh. Benetton's "Unhate" Campaign In November 2011, the United Colors of Benetton &lt;a href=&quot;http://www./2011/11/11/jay-z-occupy-wall-street-t-shirts_n_1088132.html&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;released photoshopped images of world leaders making out&lt;/a&gt; to promote the idea of &quot;unhate.&quot; Here is the Pope and al-Tayeb kissing. Other shots included President Obama kissing Hugo Chavez and Mahmoud Abbas kissing Benjamin Natanyahu.
Alessandro Benetton, the deputy chairman of the company, released the following statement: &quot;The images are very strong, but we have to send a strong message. We are not wanting to be disrespectful of the leaders ... we consider them &quot;conception figures&quot; making a statement of brotherhood with a kiss.&quot; Tory Burch vs. Chris Burch and C. Wonder It's sticky when you divorce a guy and he decides to &lt;a href=&quot;http://www./2011/10/18/first-photos-tory-burchs-_n_1017979.html&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;use your ideas to open up his own store&lt;/a&gt;. That's what Chris Burch allegedly did with C. Wonder in 2012, a retail concept that had a very similar tone and product offering to Tory's initial brand.
Surprisingly, Chris was planning on suing Tory for breach of contract and tortious interference, but instead Tory filed counterclaims accusing Chris of withholding documents that indicate he stole Tory's ideas. Coco Chanel vs. Elsa Schiaparelli The iconic Chanel was apparently quite the tormentor. In fact, one of her victims was fellow designer, Elsa Schiaparelli. Chanel has been noted as saying Schiaparelli was just &quot;that Italian artist who makes clothes.&quot; As the story goes, she also once &quot;accidentally&quot; pushed Schiaparelli into a candle arrangement and set her on fire! Ouch. Vogue Netherlands' Black Face Spread Vogue Netherlands' May 2013 issue features this &quot;Heritage Heroes&quot; editorial. They&lt;a href=&quot;http://www./2013/04/17/vogue-netherlands-blackface-shoot-controversy_n_3101059.html?utm_hp_ref=style&amp;ir=Style#slide=2327193& ;quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt; decided to take white models and paint their faces black&lt;/a&gt; and put wigs on them that evoke African-American hair.
Damian Bao expresses our opinion perfectly. Why couldn't they have used models of a different ethnicity instead of offensively slathering a model in makeup? Hedi Slimane vs. Cathy Horyn You're bound to get hate when you're the New York Times fashion critic. At Spring 2013 Fashion Week, designers pushed back after Horyn critiqued their collections. Oscar de la Renta compared her to a &quot;stale 3-day old hamburger,&quot; and Lady Gaga even rapped about how much she doesn't like the critic.
Perhaps the strongest shun was from Hedi Slimane, who was premiering his first collection with YSL and &lt;a href=&quot;http://www./2012/10/02/hedi-slimane-twitter-fight-cathy-horyn-new-york-times_n_1933884.html&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;banned Horyn from attending the show&lt;/a&gt;! Horyn claims Slimane is holding a grudge from five years ago and Slimane responded by creating a Twitter graphic with the title, &quot;My Own Times.&quot; Lynn Tesaro's Slap Tesaro, the PR rep for Zac Posen, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www./2012/11/09/lynn-tesoro-fashion-week-slap-marie-jose-susskind-jalou_n_2100596.html&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;was slapped by Marie-José Susskind-Jalou&lt;/a&gt;, president of Jalou publishing house, at New York Fashion Week in 2013 right before the Posen show. The tiff was over a lack of seating, with Susskind-Jalou and her daughters confronting Tesoro angrily when they were left without seats for the show. As one of the daughters said afterwards, &quot;Now you know you don’t f--k with French people.&quot; Roberto Cavalli vs. Anna Wintour In April 2012, Cavalli was asked by La Repubblica what advice he would give to young fashion designers and he &lt;a href=&quot;http://www./2012/04/18/robert-cavalli-anna-wintour-comment_n_1435517.html&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;dared to cross the great and powerful Wintour&lt;/a&gt;.
He said, &quot;Just look at American fashion, which is almost fashion. It's terrible and you almost can't even look at it, but it has been driven by a great journalist, Anna Wintour, who wants all women to be like her and to dress the way she does.&quot; Harvey Nichols' Crotch-Wetting Campaign The tagline was, &quot;Try to contain your excitement,&quot; in this Harvey Nichols Summer 2012 sale campaign.
&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/2012/06/08/harvey-nichols-advert-features-models-wetting-themselves-in-excitement-over-sale-_n_1580443. html&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Responding to accusations that the ad was off-putting and yucky, a Harvey Nichols spokesperson said&lt;/a&gt;, &quot;In humorous reaction to the (often-irrational) excitement sale time engenders, we have developed this campaign to capture this near-fanatical spirit, because let's face it, the thought of picking up brands at up to 70% off is enough to excite and overwhelm even the most composed shopper in us all.&quot; Andrej Pejic's Dossier Cover Barnes and Noble initially &lt;a href=&quot;http://www./2011/05/16/dossier-andrej-pejic-cover-censored_n_862424.html&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;censored this cover of Dossier&lt;/a&gt; because it featured androgynous male model Pejic taking off a shirt. The backlash against Barnes and Noble came shortly thereafter. The Birkin Burning Tyler Shields, the photographer with a knack for controversy, was caught in a fashion scandal when he took photos of Francesca Eastwood, a model (and Clint's daughter), and her &lt;a href=&quot;http://www./2012/05/29/francesca-eastwood-birkin-burning-tyler-shields_n_1553413.html&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;burning red Crocodile Birkin bag being destroyed by fire and a chainsaw&lt;/a&gt;. Topshop's Really Thin Model In July 2011, super-skinny model &lt;a href=&quot;http://www./2011/07/19/codie-young-topshop-skinny-model_n_902365.html&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Codie Young received backlash over photos she took for Topshop&lt;/a&gt;. The Daily Mail called her body in the pictures &quot;painfully thin&quot; and said she had a &quot;gaunt face and a skeletal frame.&quot;
Topshop ultimately pulled the picture and Young responded to the comments saying, &quot;I am very happy with my body and how I look because its apart of who I am! Throughout my entire childhood I was called anorexic and people would ask if I was bulimic. And it was really hard sometimes for me to deal with as I have always been this way.&quot; 10-Year-Old Thylane Loubry Blondeau Raises Eyebrows This young model &lt;a href=&quot;http://www./2011/08/04/thylane-blondeau-10-year-old-model_n_918066.html&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;sparked controversy after she posed for this Vogue Paris shoot in 2011&lt;/a&gt; when she was just ten years old. She was shown in various provocative poses that people felt were a little too mature for her tender age. Vogue Italia's Plus-Size Model Photo Shoot In June 2011, Vogue Italia embraced curves and &lt;a href=&quot;http://www./2011/06/03/vogue-italia-plus-size_n_870739.html&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;defied boundaries&lt;/a&gt; in terms of high-fashion shoots. Vogue Italia's Slave Earrings Only two months later, Vogue Italia was slammed by many, including model Iman, for &lt;a href=&quot;http://www./news/vogue-italia-slave-earrings&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;featuring &quot;Slave Earrings&quot; in their &quot;Shop The Trend&quot; section on their website&lt;/a&gt;. After the backlash, they changed the name to &quot;Ethnic Earrings.&quot; Karlie Kloss' Nude Spread for Vogue Italia Then, in December of the same year, Vogue Italia &lt;a href=&quot;http://www./2011/12/01/karlie-kloss-nude_n_1122881.html&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;decided to feature a photo shoot of it-model Karlie Kloss&lt;/a&gt;. The only problem was that the magazine was accused of photoshopping Kloss' already svelte figure even thinner.
Whether it was Photoshop or not, the magazine decided to pul the image seen to the left off their website, along with the caption, &quot;The (new) Body.&quot; Jay-Z's "Occupy All Streets" Shirts In support of the Occupy Wall Street Movement, Jay-Z's clothing line, Rocawear,&lt;a href=&quot;http://www./2011/11/11/jay-z-occupy-wall-street-t-shirts_n_1088132.html&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt; released t-shirts in 2011 that said, &quot;Occupy All Streets.&quot;&lt;/a&gt;
People were quick to fire back with criticism insisting that Jay and his team were trying to monopolize off of the protestors since the company was not donating any of the proceeds to the cause. Marc Jacobs vs. Kidult This one is really unique. In May 2012, the Marc Jacobs store on Mercer Street in New York City &lt;a href=&quot;http://www./2012/05/14/marc-jacobs-graffiti-art-kidult-t-shirts_n_1515697.html&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;discovered that street-artist Kidult had tagged the store with the word &quot;ART&quot;. &lt;/a&gt;
Jacobs responded by using the tag as inspiration for a $689 limited-edition t-shirt emblazoned with a photo of the tag. Gucci vs. Guess After years of battling over who gets the right to use the very similar logo design, in May 2012, a judge &lt;a href=&quot;http://www./2012/05/21/gucci-lawsuit-gucci-wins-_n_1534491.html#s824190&amp;title=Gucci&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt; ruled that Guess owed Gucci $4.66 million dollars&lt;/a&gt; in damages from using its unauthorized trademark &quot;G&quot; logo. John Galliano's Anti-Semitic Remarks In February 2011, designer John Galliano was &lt;a href=&quot;http://www./2011/02/28/galliano-hitler-racist-rant-arrest_n_828955.html&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;heard on the record saying to people at a Parisian café&lt;/a&gt;, &quot;I love Hitler,&quot; and &quot;People like you would be dead. Your mothers, your forefathers, would all be f-cking gassed.&quot;
Dior fired him as a designer the next day and then he checked into rehab. He's slowly been working his way back into the industry's good graces ever since. Christian Louboutin vs. Yves St. Laurent It was the battle of the red soles. In April 2011, Christian Louboutin sued YSL for $1 million in damages for putting red soles on the bottom of their shoes, with Louboutin claiming that the red sole had been trademarked to their company in 2008.
The dispute was &lt;a href=&quot;http://www./2012/10/16/christian-louboutin-vs-ysl-lawsuit-over_n_1970511.html&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;settled in October 2012&lt;/a&gt; when the court ruled that YSL could make monochromatic red shoes with red soles but still gave Louboutin trademark protection over the red sole alone. Jenna Lyons Paints Her Son's Toenails In an online feature for J.Crew in 2011, the creative director of the brand was shown &lt;a href=&quot;http://www./2011/04/12/fox-news-jcrew-jenna-lyons-_n_848152.html&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;polishing her young son's toenails pink&lt;/a&gt;.
What seemed to a cute, well-meaning photo received extreme criticism from &quot;experts,&quot; most notably Dr. Keith Ablow who said, &quot;This is a dramatic example of the way that our culture is being encouraged to abandon all trappings of gender identity.&quot; Natasha Poly vs. Jessica Hart Poly (seen to the left) got into a brawl with fellow model, Jessica Hart, at Double Seven, a New York City nightclub. Hart apparently attacked Poly and screamed to her that her husband (Peter Bakker) was a &quot;loser.&quot; Nivea's "Re-Civilize Yourself" Ad Nivea &lt;a href=&quot;http://www./2011/08/18/nivea-ad-racist_n_930501.html&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;received backlash over this ad&lt;/a&gt;, with critics citing the decision to pair an African-American model with the phrase &quot;re-civilize&quot; as insensitive and racist Urban Outfitters' Diss to Mexico &quot;New Mexico, Cleaner than Regular Mexico&quot; t-shirts didn't go over well when released in 2005. Nice job, Urban Outfitters.
Urban Outfitters' Other Mexico Diss In January 2013, Urban Outfitters &lt;a href=&quot;http://www./2013/01/03/urban-outfitters-controversy-walmart-shirt_n_2404016.html&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;stirred controversy when it decided to sell a vintage-looking Walmart work shirt &lt;/a&gt;with the name &quot;Juan&quot; on it.
Many Latinos felt the clothing company was being &quot;racist and classist.&quot; Urban Outfitters Targets Teens With Alcohol? Urban Outfitters thought it was a good idea to sell this shirt to its young demographic (with a lot of them being younger than 21). Urban Outfitters References The Holocaust? The popular retailer got in trouble for its &quot;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www./2012/04/20/urban-outfitters-jewish-star-tshirt_n_1441731.html&quot; target=&quot;_hplink&quot;&gt;Jewish Star&lt;/a&gt;&quot; t-shirt, that many thought made light of the Holocaust. JC Penney's Degrading Shirts In 2011, JC Penney &lt;a href=&quot;http://www./2011/08/31/jc-penneys-girls-shirt_n_943349.html&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;released these shirts targeted towards middle-school girls&lt;/a&gt; that read &quot;I'm too pretty to do homework so my brother has to do it for me&quot; and &quot;Allergic to Algebra.&quot;
Critics attacked JC Penney, saying the store was sending a bad message to young girls by telling them that it's impossible to be both pretty &lt;em&gt;and&lt;/em&gt; smart.
The company immediately regretted the decision and sent out a statement saying, &quot;We agree that the 'Too pretty' t-shirt does not deliver an appropriate message, and we have immediately discontinued its sale.&quot; Urban Outfitters' Bad Message to Girls In 2010, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www./2010/06/03/eat-less-urban-outfitters_n_598904.html&quot; target=&quot;_hplink&quot;&gt;&quot;Eat Less&quot;&lt;/a&gt; t-shirts weren't well received by, well, most people.
Victoria's Secret's Asian Stereotyping As part of the brand's &quot;Far East&quot; collection, the &lt;a href=&quot;http://www./2012/09/24/victorias-secret-geisha-outfit-photos_n_1909366.html&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;&quot;Sexy Little Geisha&quot;&lt;/a&gt; outfit came complete with a removable obi belt. Abercrombie & Fitch's Asian Caricatures In 2002, Asian caricature t-shirts &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.sfgate.com/news/article/ABERCROMBIE-GLITCH-Asian-Americans-rip-2850702.php&quot; target=&quot;_hplink&quot;&gt;caused outrage in California.&lt;/a&gt;
Nike's St. Patrick's Day Sneakers Nike's St. Patrick's Day-themed SB Dunk Low &lt;a href=&quot;http://www./2012/03/14/nike-black-and-tan_n_1344197.html&quot; target=&quot;_hplink&quot;&gt;&quot;Black and Tan&quot;&lt;/a&gt; sneakers incited outrage from the Irish community. Turns out Nike didn't realize that &quot;Black and Tan&quot; or &quot;Tan&quot; is still a pejorative term for the British in Ireland.
Nike followed up with an apology. Urban Outfitters Mocks the Irish Some Irish groups were not pleased with this &quot;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www./2012/03/01/urban-outfitters-st-patricks-day-clothes-_n_1313242.html&quot; target=&quot;_hplink&quot;&gt;Irish Yoga&lt;/a&gt;&quot; trucker hat that mocked their culture. Urban Outfitters Dumbs Down St. Patrick's Day &quot;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www./2012/03/01/urban-outfitters-st-patricks-day-clothes-_n_1313242.html&quot; target=&quot;_hplink&quot;&gt;Truly Madly Deeply Kiss Me&lt;/a&gt;&quot; t-shirt offended Irish groups. Urban Outfitters' Second Irish Dig Ditto to this &quot;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www./2012/03/01/urban-outfitters-st-patricks-day-clothes-_n_1313242.html&quot; target=&quot;_hplink&quot;&gt;Truly Madly Deeply Irish Drunk&quot;&lt;/a&gt; scoop tank. Congressman Joe Crowley (D-NY), along with members of the Congressional Ad Hoc Committee on Irish Affairs, quickly demanded that Urban Outfitters stop selling the Irish-themed products. Adidas' Shackle Shoes These Jeremy Scott x adidas Roundhouse Mid &quot;Handcuffs,&quot; or &quot;shackle,&quot; sneakers &lt;a href=&quot;http://www./2012/06/18/adidas-shackle-sneakers-controversy_n_1605661.html&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;caused outrage&lt;/a&gt; when people connected the shackle imagery to slavery. Taco Cid "How to Catch an Illegal Immigrant" Shirt This &lt;a href=&quot;http://www./2013/01/09/how-to-catch-an-illegal-immigrant-taco-cid_n_2439294.html&quot;&gt;&quot;How to catch an illegal immigrant&quot; shirt&lt;/a&gt; was seen as being pretty in-your-face racist. Fahad's "Cuntier" Hats These &quot;Cuntier&quot; hats &lt;a href=&quot;http://www./2013/03/12/cartier-cuntier-hats_n_2861513.html?utm_hp_ref=style&amp;ir=Style&quot;&gt;spoofed the Cartier logo&lt;/a&gt;... with a less-than-palatable term. Clean and Dry Intimate Wash &lt;a href=&quot;http://www./2012/04/12/vagina-bleaching-ad_n_1420825.html&quot; target=&quot;_hplink&quot;&gt;Skin-lightening wash&lt;/a&gt; targets consumers with dark colored privates.

Execution dates are set in Missouri for two convicted murderers
<p><strong><a href="http://www.topwatchesfamily.com">watches</a></strong> The Missouri Supreme Court set an Oct. 23 execution date for Allen L. Nicklasson, whose co-defendant, Dennis Skillicorn, was executed in 2009. They were sentenced to death in the 1994 killing of Richard Drummond, who had stopped to help them when their car broke down along Interstate 70. The court set a Nov. 20 execution date for Joseph Paul Franklin, who received a death sentence in 1997 for killing a man outside a St. Louis area synagogue in 1977.</p>

Costly error, cold bats send Royals to 5-2 loss to Marlins
<p><strong><a href="http://www.topwatchesfamily.com">copy watches</a></strong> Elliot Johnson botched a routine grounder at third base in the seventh inning that led to two unearned runs in a 5-2 loss to the often-woeful Miami Marlins at Kauffman Stadium. And the Royals&#x2019; offense again shows disturbing signs of flat-lining after mustering just five hits one night after getting just four over for 10 innings.</p>

Ryan Brazeal recently opened the restaurant after a fruitful, decade-long apprenticeship in top-flight New York restaurants.</p>
