Every year around this time we, at bernos, begin losing our minds, in a good way.
We start brainstorming on new shirts, Nolawi starts designing and the feedback process is never ending. We have to choose the color scheme, how much inventory we have to get, how many designs we should do for our fall collection… I could go on and on with the details but I won’t bore you to death. We love it, we never complain.
But all of this leads to our open house; For those who had the chance to visit our open houses know that it’s a ritual.
We started doing them so that we can meet our customers. We rarely get to connect with our customers, except via email when purchases are made, or when we get requests online through Facebook, twitter or our blog. So yes, this is an opportunity for us to meet you and you to meet us. In addition, we get to introduce our latest Fall Collection. Continue reading ‘Bernos Block Party’

We laughed and laughed, although I didn’t understand half the things he was saying, the wine helped. Let’s just say everyone was over the limit so cackles came easily.
Krazy Larry is a pant maker in New York City. I think he gave my date a card, and told her that she would look great in his pants. Continue reading ‘fax Krazy Larry!’

I don’t watch day-time TV, although I flip through channels. A while back I saw a Nicole Kidman interview on one of those shows with a bunch of ladies.
She walked in a size 2 dress and no cheeks on her face, just cheek bones. I suppose super skinny is sexy, but it just doesn’t fit on a 40 plus year old woman. The collar bones were sticking out and she looked like a mannequin from Saks Fifth Avenue.
And that is the first thing the interviewer asked her; what is your secret?
‘She said she doesn’t eat!’ Continue reading ‘the Secret is’

A baby born in the west before the 1900’s was expected to live to about age 45. In 2009 life expectancy at birth is about 80 and climbing each year.
What is different is not the fact people in the west eat healthy, in fact there is evidence that suggest people eat more unhealthy stuff than compared to 100 years prior; rather it is medicine. Continue reading ‘pills pills pills’

I was reading a recent blog and I love reading blogs because they are opinions. One of the most famous bloggers is the author of Zen Habits named Leo Babauta of Guam.
And he is helping a lot of people and his thoughts come out so perfectly straight and opinionated. No wonder its one of the most popular blogs in the webosphere
Here is a list of the most popular articles of 2008. One of the posts about 20 things he wished he knew when he was starting out his life says that he wasted so much time watching TV.
All that time you spend watching TV is a huge, huge waste of time.” Continue reading ‘Oooh the TV’
