Live in Full Color - Color and Style Inspiration and Insights From the Experts

Your choice of clothing may be good or bad but the weather just is. That is what my friend Berit once told me. She said that in Norway they don’t judge things like the weather they just accept them. I’ve never been much of a weather watcher. I rarely pay attention to the forecast and my choice of clothing could sometimes be labeled “bad” if “weather appropriate” is the gauge. Often, I even forget to check the forecast when heading out of town. I’d put my message out to the Universe asking for a few magical days to recharge and clear my head. Instead I got rain.

Usually, you would think that tropical prints belong in Hawaii (or hipster bars in Williamsburg) but the sopisticated, modern cuts of Reyn Spooners latest collection for Opening Ceremony give the prints a classic, urban look. Available at Opening Ceremony! One of my favorite summer events in NYC is the Governor’s Island Jazz Age Lawn Party. I missed the first one this year because of my trip the Block Island but luckily one of my favorite photography bloggers, Jamie Beck of From Me To You posted these amazing photos!

Rosie Huntington-Whiteley is a British model with great potential. Though she has shot campaigns for Tommy Hilfiger, SportMax, fellow countryman Paul Smith and has done some catwalking, she’s a girl I would like to see more of.

She is one of the most hardworking people I know. During the day she is a CNA busy working side by side and assisting the disabled at a laundry mat where they work so they can have employment. After a full days work she heads over to night classes until 10:30pm working to get her associates degree in office management so that one day she can open her own care facility for the Elderly with the kind of quality care they deserve and has been lacking at so many places she has previously worked at. I have never met anyone who cares about other people as much as she does. She is truly a care taker, heart and soul. Talk2TheTrees.

The trend is fueled by nostalgia, this same nostalgia drives us back to fixie bikes, film cameras, and vinyls. My parents generation (the baby boomers) fled their roots to make a new life for themselves. They started businesses, created the current status quo for families (two kids, two cars, mid sized suburban home), and gave their children everything they didn’t have growing up. As a result the current generation of young people (20-30yr olds) and many others are trying to return to their roots and rediscover what makes things have emotional value. We can buy most things we want (made in China) for practically nothing, so we long for something more, something that will have emotional value.

Lil blip is a he! Our 20 week ultrasound was Friday and it was all we could hope for. A healthy baby. December 2009. A quick competition to celebrate my 600th post and distract me from the fact that a) I haven't started my Christmas shopping and b) it's snowing and my boiler has stopped working. I can't even bring myself to call someone out yet as that's accepting the worst - I'm hoping, with diminishing likelihood, that it might come back to life. Anyway, to enter: let me know which is your favourite item from my shop, or which you'd like to win the most, and I will send you a parcel of goodies which will include it. If you are in the UK, I promise to post it tomorrow recorded delivery so it will arrive in time for Christmas. To make the Christmas deadline, this giveaway will finish tonight at midnight (GMT.)
