Dove – The Way You See Yourself

This video has gone completely viral since Dove shared it yesterday. And, well I guess you can say we just want to do our part in helping women take the blinders off (ourselves included) on how negatively we view ourselves. As always, I’m super impressed by Dove’s commitment to women and real beauty.

Watch and be amazed…

[POSTED CAPTION FROM DOVE] Women are their own worst beauty critics. Only 4% of women around the world consider themselves beautiful. At Dove, we are committed to creating a world where beauty is a source of confidence, not anxiety. So, we decided to conduct a compelling social experiment that explores how women view their own beauty in contrast to what others see.

 You’re beautiful! xoLara

The new store, located at 261 + 263 Canal Street is 6500sq.ft with raw exposed brick walls, a back-lit shoe and accessories closet and landmark approved entrée doors.  A definite upgrade to some of their jam-packed-with-clothing locations.   They are also the first fashion retailer to open on Canal Street, lending to Mayor Bloomberg’s continued efforts to
