Jump to the full entry & travel map Koycegiz, Turkish Aegean Coast, Turkey Getting to Koycegiz was a bit of a logistical nightmare, (I think from Selcuk – it was three buses!!) but I got there in the end. I stayed in a guesthouse that was recommended to me from the guys I stayed with in Selcuk and it paled in comparision – but possibly because I was only one of two people staying there.

Jump to the full entry & travel map Little Narrows, Nova Scotia, Canada We had a wonderful trip up to Little Narrows in Novia Scotia. I thought we may have bad weather on the way up as Autumn is turning into winter, slowly but there’s a chill in the wind! The pilotage up to the Gypsum mill in Little Narrows took four and a half hours up the most beautiful river, or so I was told, unfortunately we didn’t see much of it as the rain was so thick, there was a mist most of the way up. It cleared now and again and when it did the scenery was spectacular

On arrival in Port Said, we felt a sense of accomplishment, that we were about to set foot in a country that most dream of visiting. There is universal fascination with the ancient Egyptians who established a magnificent and enduring civilization that flourished from around 3000 BC to 30 BC, ruled by approximately 30 dynasties.

Beautiful sequins accessories are a great way to transform your favorite little black dress into a perfect outfit for a holiday party! Curations with Stefani Greenfield launches their holiday collection at midnight on Tuesday night and it runs all day on Wednesday, November 12 on HSN. The collection looks fabulous with lots of wintery velvet, rhinestones, sequins, and faux fur. “Sparkle and shine” is their theme for the holiday collection and I am loving it! My favorite pieces from the holiday collection are soft sequins pieces that are affordable and come in a variety of colors so you can pair them with every outfit! They are great with your dressy holiday attire or your casual jeans and tee. Curations Night Cap $29.90 I love this sequins beret! I need one asap! It’s such a cute and stylish look for winter and completely affordable. It comes in seven different colors, but the gray with silver sequins is my favorite. What a perfect winter accessory! Curations Sequin Wrap $89 I’m pretty tired of the standard black pashmina that I am always throwing over my LBD as I walk out the door. I’m excited about this sequins wrap because it is a great piece to wear over bare shoulders for a holiday party. This could also look great with just jeans and a tee for daytime
If the number of people being spotted wearing them is anything to go by, then it would be an incontestable fact that male scene hairstyles are growing increasingly popular. Indeed, the current male scene hairstyles craze is reminiscent of what was seen some years ago, when male scene hairstyles were first developed. Granted, the development of these male scene hairstyles was not an event, but rather a ‘process.’ Yet somewhere along the process, the male scene hairstyles emerged as a distinct hairstyle – and went on to become quite a phenomenon in the fashion scenes.

When it comes to issues of anti-trust or anti-dumping rules we must be ever so careful not to allow businessmen, unions, or monied interests to manipulate governments into intervening and using these laws to give advantage to in-country businesses over their importing business rivals. We must also remember that if we fail to create a win-win situation and support each other in trade talks, negotiations, and adherence to the rules – the game becomes unbalanced and the board is tipped over, and no one wins. Win-win is far the best scenario.

There seems to be a huge problem in the world with foreign nations borrowing US Anti-Trust Regulations. In the United States we go after companies that break our anti-trust laws, or those who regulators in their infinite wisdom assume have broken the rules. Unfortunately, the United States regulatory agencies have not been forthright in their regulating of all business is equally in the anti-trust space.

I think most women have a top or two in their closet that they’re just not quite comfortable wearing… There is a time and a place for flaunting a little extra cleavage – but what do you do if you want a little extra coverage, without adding any extra bulk? How about adding some extra color to an otherwise dull outfit? Debbie Rubio has come up with an interesting solution – the “ Perfect Cami “: It’s kind of like a cross between a camisole and a bra. The panel of fabric in front adds extra coverage and color to your outfit, while the straps just clip to your bra straps to stay in place. The cami comes in lots of different options, from plain, solid colors : To a rainbow of different laces, fabrics and even sparkly options : Perfect Cami also is available in plus sizes (up to a 44 DDD bust). Their bridal lace collection is available with Swarovski crystal accents and clear straps

Greek Ornament from Owen Jones The Grammar of Ornament 1856 Owen Jones was always passionately interested in new formulas and ideas concerning the history of decoration, ornamentation and the use colour played within each cultural format. Admittedly, he didn’t always get it right as he was working with the information then available in the middle of the nineteenth century. However, he did have some bold ideas of his own which did not always sit well with the critics and experts of the day

Pamela Anderson’s Malibu fragrances launch this month. The line consists of two fragrances – a “ night” scent called Malibu Night and the “ day ” scent, Malibu . I watched a clip of her describing the scents to Ellen, on the Ellen show, and she explained that the Malibu scent is a “ beachy ” scent and the Night Malibu is more “ exotic ” and the one to wear if you want to “ seal the deal .” Anderson explains further on her website… I’ve been making many of my own products for years, layering coconut body wash with thick sandalwood/patchouli body butters, amber oils, bath products and essential oils.
Over the weekend, Maggie and I decided to explore Fair Oaks Village, a quaint little town I discovered when I met a school study group at group members’ apartment here. Her apartment is in an old building over an aniques store, and it’s so adorable. The day I visited, I only experienced the Village from what I saw when walking to and from my car: The cutest shops, roosters hustling through crosswalks and a couple of little places that boasted the best in coffee and treats.

Over coffee a dear friend of mine shared her dilemma: Should she sell her historic, one-of-a-kind, hand-crafted, 19th century flute or keep it? It’s in good condition and worth thousands. If she sold it, it would allow her to buy another expensive flute of exquisite quality. She wants the new flute because it’s easier to play. “Easier to play” means less resistance to practicing and more fun making music. Sounds like a plan, especially when she no long plays her historic flute! So, what’s the problem? The Flute Holds the Power The antique flute holds my friend in a powerful grip. If she releases possession of it, she believes she loses her status as a flutist and a connoisseur of flutes. Its uniqueness gives her a feeling of being knowledgeable and erudite. Most of us know mothing about flutes, let alone about the qualities of this historic one. She has had it evaluated by both American and European experts. They concur: She has a unique, historic and valuable flute. Only a small number of experts and flutists around the world can appreciate its uniqueness. Since no one else in the whole world owns another one like it, she admitted she feels special (I felt she was special from the moment I met her, well before I knew she owned this flute, but that’s beside the point.) Her feeling of being special, however, is private. Very few have any idea she possesses such a rarity. She plays in a consort using another flute from her collection, and her partners, people who could appreciate her rare flute, don’t know she has it. Her idea of being special by owning the antique flute is her and hers alone. When she bought it 25 years ago, it cost $500. Since her purchase, its value has grown exponentially. If she were to sell it, her singular status –the owner of this unique, historic flute–would change. But what does that mean? Status versus Perception This ia question worthy of examination. Many of clients possess valuable items. Some of them are one of a kind–pieces of art, designer clothes and antique furniture are examples. This begs the question: Is a person MORE for owning or LESS for not owning something rare–unique–or special? Is it status we’re talking about? More important than status seems the perception of the person who possesses the object. In the case of my friend and flute-owner, the perception of being special because she owns this rare, antique flute is hers alone. Certainly those who can appreciate her flute admire it and may even covet it, but how likely is it that they will change their opinion of her once she sells it? There is always the chance they will relegate her to the dustbin of has-been, unique, historic flute owners, but I doubt it. Can Something Unique & Historic Be Clutter

American Apparel is having an online sale from November 1-25 on all socks and hosiery. Enter the code SOCKDEAL at checkout to receive 30% off of your order of any socks or hosiery . I have tons of American Apparel tights in my dresser, but there are always more colors that I want in my favorite styles. Here are some new and interesting styles from American Apparel…some that you need as wardrobe staples and some that you need to spice up what you already have! Opaque Stirrup Pantyhose $18 I basically have every color of the Shiny Stirrup Tights from American Apparel already, so I was excited that they came out with this opaque style that also has the stirrups, but has a matte finish. The black opaque stirrups are a winter wardrobe staple! Sheer Luxe Shapes Pantyhose $28 The sheer black, pearl, and navy tights come with a variety of different tiny shapes on them that include hearts (definitely my favorite!), pin dots, a vertical zig zag stripe, and an all-over square grid. These are a great way to add a little personality to the regular black sheer tights that you would wear with a cocktail dress. Opaque Pantyhose $14 Colored opaque pantyhose are easy and fashionable. The American Apparel variety come in 23 different colors!! When picking a color, don’t just choose a color that you like. Pick something that goes with dresses and shoes that you have in your closet already and that look flattering on your legs. I also love colored opaques because they are fun to layer under sheer patterned tights! Opaque Two Color Pantyhose $16 If you want to take a fashion risk with your tights this year, try two tones! I think they are pretty fun, but they are definitely not for everyone. American Apparel even offers them in neon varieties! Post from: Splendicity

Not too many women can manage to be as poised (or fly) as Lena Horne was in her day. Known for her accomplishments as the first African American singer to sign with MGM, this timeless beauty is the Epitome of Vintage Fashion. Famous for her reserved necklines and streamline silhouettes, she took the silver screen by storm with her professionalism, charisma, and explosive talent. Ms Horne favored classic signature pieces that complimented her covetous curves and lovely disposition. This Brooklyn Native certainly paved the way for female African American entertainers, and left a lasting impression on fashion culture.
