I was emailed a link to this great article about Silk. If
anyone has checked out my website, Carmen Colletti, then you know I love to sew with
silk. Its luxurious and natural and I love the hand of
it.
An excerpt:
...the next time you
think of silk try and think
about where it comes from, the distances it travels and how did
it
originate, from what part of the globe, how many
hands did it pass on
the way to being the fabric of which your
clothes are made and how
extraordinary it is that this old trade ...

Sorry that I haven't posted as much as I used to but I'm getting married (!!) and now my whole life is about planning the perfect wedding. I'm having a great time but it requires practically all my focus. I never thought I was a control freak before but I realize that I do like things done my way and that usually means I only trust myself to do it. At least my man loves me and knows he has to live with it forever...

I'm trying to take it easy but I've been so stressed about the Bazaar and money and life in general! I'm reading Edith Hamilton's "Mythology", which is a sort of modern reference book for all those wonderful 2,000 year old tales we all know and love. It's helping me to relax and take my mind away from reality. I promise as soon as I feel better to actually post something relevant about Fashion Week and Dallas goings-on. ... |

| Lions are known for their strength, nobility and potential ferocity. Although the women born under this sign aren’t necessarily predators, they do share many traits with the Lion. They tend to be dignified, impressive and focused on their goals. More than any other sign in the zodiac, Leo women possess a power and determination for achieving their goals. They literally attack life, letting nothing stand in the way of their hunt for fulfillment. Leos are fond of attention, although careful not to be ... |

So, before the onslaught of 34" and 36" inseam jeans and "Tall" pants, I had trouble finding pants/jeans that were long enough. I have always preferred long pants with the exception of capris (obviously), the eighties tightly rolled cuff look and when I was a little girl, I refused to wear pants to school until I saw that the other little girls actually wore them (weirdos).

The Fashionable Kiffen asks:
What item/style/look do you wish would become a trend? Or what trend from the past would you like to resurrect?
Fountain of Fashion's answer:
The peplum.
I have loved the peplum since researching the 1900s and the 1940s for my History of Costume class. It gives such a feminine and classic silhouette. I love suits with a peplum, tops with a peplum, dresses with a peplum and even peplum styled belts. If done in a new and modern way, the peplum can be versatile enough and worn in different applications so I don't think I would get ... |

I am glad that dresses are so in vogue this season. I need to make a promise to myself to wear more dresses and skirts. I've been at my job for over 3 months and have yet to wear either. Our dress code calls for panty hose and I refuse to wear them. Hopefully, the summer will provide a more lax dress code and I can partake in this more feminine attire.

| I just found my new favorite hair product - Carol's Daughter Tui Hair Oil. The light oil is infused with with chamomile and marigold and smells so good - very lush and tropical. I've actually been caught smelling my hair twice today by co-workers! Anyway, it makes your hair shine and really softens the texture. I just rubbed a few drops in my palms and smoothed on to my hair, especially the ends. I am so pleased with the results. It is not at all greasy or heavy.
