Fashion forcast for spring

Here are some looks for this spring, hot off the runways from New york fashion week. For a more Edgy look (for those of us who ignore the flowery pastels.) -Black belts worn on the waist (I would not recommend this for bigger women) -Animal prints (another style I recommend for skinner women, prints can make bigger women look bulky) - Deep wine purples (look good on everyone or Universally flattering) -Mesh -leather -subtle chains Softer spring looks (speaks for it's self) -Smokey Grey and black florals (embroidered flowers not prints) -Mauve's and tans (look for gowns and "sailor pants") -Soft pastels (anything in this look is good, but do not match it with your entire outfit, try a pastel top and grey pants) -Chiffon gowns in champagne
-knit sweaters in greys, smoky greens and deep soft blues -Skirts gathered to one side ( they are like bustles in the front showing off a bit of one leg) -Romantic style (fluttery, boho chic looks) Earth looks -harem pants(Hot and happening) -wide leg brown "sak" pants -Safari looks (simple black and white floral's, Tan and brown short sundresses) Bright and Bold - platinum Dresses (think deep golds, silvers,browns,whites and even very light blues) -Patterns (Indian, subtle. Never mix two patterns) - Fedoras(still hot) -NEON(hot!Hot!Hot! especially in the teen scene) -Sequins(not bright, unless yellow or sea green) -Mixed colors(to an extent, like pink and tangerine but not Red and pink)

Happy Valentine's Day!

I want to wish Everyone a happy Valentine's Day. Althoughthis is posted Before Valentine's, I won't be able to post anything tomorrow And yes I'm Aware that it is Friday the thirteenth. So Happy Friday the thirteenth as well. Below is a poem It is by Vladimir Nabokav, It is the poem from Lolita, Despite the stroy this poem is beautiful.and is good for Valentine's Day: Vladimir Nabokov, Lolita, Chapter 25 Wanted, wanted: Dolores Haze.
Hair: brown. Lips: scarlet.
Age: five thousand three hundred days.
Profession: none, or "starlet"
Where are you hiding, Dolores Haze?
Why are you hiding, darling?
(I Talk in a daze, I walk in a maze
I cannot get out, said the starling).
Where are you riding, Dolores Haze?
What make is the magic carpet?
Is a Cream Cougar the present craze?
And where are you parked, my car pet?
Who is your hero, Dolores Haze?
Still one of those blue-capped star-men?
Oh the balmy days and the palmy bays,
And the cars, and the bars, my Carmen!
Oh Dolores, that juke-box hurts!
Are you still dancin', darlin'?
(Both in worn levis, both in torn T-shirts,
And I, in my corner, snarlin').
Happy, happy is gnarled McFate
Touring the States with a child wife,
Plowing his Molly in every State
Among the protected wild life.
My Dolly, my folly! Her eyes were vair,
And never closed when I kissed her.
Know an old perfume called Soliel Vert?
Are you from Paris, mister?
L'autre soir un air froid d'opera m'alita;
Son fele -- bien fol est qui s'y fie!
Il neige, le decor s'ecroule, Lolita!
Lolita, qu'ai-je fait de ta vie?
Dying, dying, Lolita Haze,
Of hate and remorse, I'm dying.
And again my hairy fist I raise,
And again I hear you crying.
Officer, officer, there they go--
In the rain, where that lighted store is!
And her socks are white, and I love her so,
And her name is Haze, Dolores.
Officer, officer, there they are--
Dolores Haze and her lover!
Whip out your gun and follow that car.
Now tumble out and take cover.
Wanted, wanted: Dolores Haze.
Her dream-gray gaze never flinches.
Ninety pounds is all she weighs
With a height of sixty inches.
My car is limping, Dolores Haze,
And the last long lap is the hardest,
And I shall be dumped where the weed decays,
And the rest is rust and stardust.

Qoute of the week

“I want to grow old without facelifts... I want to have the courage to be loyal to the face I've made. Sometimes I think it would be easier to avoid old age, to die young, but then you'd never complete your life, would you? You'd never wholly know you”
Marilyn Monroe quote

What is intriguing you about the characters? The intreguing aspect of star girl is her personality. She is a good and well balenced person, but she is also very differnt which is a good thing.
