In the latest fashions shows all the models wore large necklaces and wrists-full of bracelets made of wood or shells
and had their hair done in loose, gentle upsweeps.
In the latest fashions shows all the models wore large necklaces and wrists-full of bracelets made of wood or shells
and had their hair done in loose, gentle upsweeps. The black-and-white Beatnik style is back, aimed at the 16-25 age
group, severe and pared down, a complete about-turn...gone is casual, throw-it-all-together, ethnic school of style,
with last season's Bohemian look making but a brief showing. We saw sequined dresses, halters and shrugs in purple,
green and gold; swimwear followed the metallic theme: women wore tiny silver and gold bikinis, while men wore
shorts or swimsuits in colorful prints. Last season's Bohemian look made a brief showing.
Many of the formal dresses were updated versions of more classic styles. A simple off-white knee-length strapless
gown was accented with a skirt of tulle ruffles around the waist. A long purple evening gown was slit up the front
with a cloud of feathers beginning at the knee.
Steer clear of flat black - the key element is the combination of black and white, such as a crisp, white shirt with a
pair of well-cut black trousers, and look for rich fabrics such as satin, silk and velvet; black and white-striped mohair
sweater-dresses, worn over tights or very fitted jeans, worn with black ballet slippers, patent slippers or with
knee-high black boots; black wool cropped jackets and pea coats; Beatnik-style black caps; black eyeliner and
mascara; sunglasses and straight hair. The hourglass silhouette is already a key look for this winter but if you don't
have a tiny, well-toned frame, choose less fitted silhouettes, and add narrow, leather belts, retro-style shoes, vintage
handbags and opulent fur, a striped Pompom scarf.
Pompom decoration is a designer look and very easy to make yourself. Back in style is the Sixties-inspired wool
shift, with a Chanel touch and in solid colors such as a white shirt and oversized black blazer, and rather than a
revival of androgyny it is simply a question of comfort and ease; black mini-skirt with over-the-knee boots; or a
striped top or sweater [with a pair of skinny black pants.
Dresses have been the featured item in the latest fashion shows; 'The Wrap' dress is making a comeback, and is not in
a boudoir-inspired style, but a dress with a waist, a neckline, a skirt and - most importantly - sleeves. The new
autumn collections are full of dresses with sleeves of every shape and size - three-quarter length, cuffed, long and
tight, full and belled, raglan and puffed, many in a print pattern such as paisley print, on a long-sleeved dress. Prints
in shades of green, orange, pink and purple dominated the beginning of the show. Shorts and skirts came in bright
patterns that echoed back to the 1950s and 1960s. Modern technology, with improvements in jersey fabrics and
stretch, makes a dress really comfortable to wear. Many younger women want an all-in-one solution for work and
business travel, rather than a skirt and top or a suit.
Fall/Winter 05/06 has accents of color combined with regal fabrics. Black is not minimalist black as in the 1990s; rich
deep plush velvet, black satin, black lace and black just accented with white or red is the look for 2005. Black silk,
black gauze, Persian lamb, black taffeta, penne velvet black denim, black cashmere, black jet, corduroy, black suede
and Shear ling add touches of sophistication and glamour to new trends. Main colors are deep rich violet purples,
wine reds, burnt ginger tones, moss greens, mustard, and teal. The basic solid black and white can be very sharp and
smart, plus grays and oyster shell tones.
British country style tweeds have been out in force, but this year tweed is less textured. It looks more like Harris
Tweed, flat plaids or old familiar checks such as black and white hound's tooth checks. This is a look that can
continue into night with sequins used to create the contrast; boldly vibrant colored checks, colorful tartans and
tweeds are all used in coats, dresses and skirts that are loose-fitting with flowing folds of fabric, or with a Roman
touch with lines of gold appliqué. Ironically, these heritage fabrics and shapes should be worn in a quirky way,
jumbled up, mixing Argyle knits with tartans, plaids and stripes. Or you could borrow from the men, Ralph
Lauren-style, and wear slouchy tweed trousers with brogues and oversized knits; and boucle tweed suits in the 50s
style.
Intarsia in knitwear is back again, such as Fair Isle, ikat, bold abstract and paisley arrangements. Long cardigan jackets
cardigan and asymmetric cardigan wraps and coats often have fur collars or a narrow fur edge; Aran knits, not usually
in the traditional cream but in richer deep shades of creams, teal and rust feature in many collections. Luxurious rich
fabrics and antique brocade fabrics, often interpreted with Ombre dyed materials like velvets that move through
related colors such as burnt orange merging with reds through to claret in Ombre dyed velvet. Such velvet is then over
printed in toning colors or textured with embroidery. Velvet can also have texture and appliqué and is generally
gorgeous this winter with an antique vintage feel. Metallic luster and rich satins and the plushest of velvets bring a
new opulence to winter. In addition to rich plush velvet there will be penne velvet, corduroy, suede, Shear ling,
leather reptilian skins, boiled wool, suiting. Designer shoes frequently have lace and beading and if they are not
velvet, they may just as easily be made of suede another luxury material.
The best styles to look for are wide-leg cuffed trousers, short, swingy jackets and slim skirts, totes and bucket bags,
flat lace-up brogues, flora and fauna prints. The 'in' colors are black and white, beige, orange, gorgeous greens and
often have crochet motifs added - also a lot of purple tones in tartan skirts, fur coats. Just remember that black in
2005 is no longer the only look to wear. The fabrics in rich deep berry and gem jewel colours may do far more for
your coloring than black ever might. Berry colors and purples will be a wonderful choice instead of black or as an
accent color. Cubist paint techniques as prints will lead us into Spring 2006 and stencil print effects will be popular.
Leave behind gypsy skirts, kaftans, tribal jewellery, military jackets, waistcoats, drainpipes, crocheted shrugs and
warrior belts [finally!].

Flower as a gift

The Bible teaches that we are to show kindness and consideration to one another. To send flowers on special
occasions is a good way to express love and kindness to those who are special in our hearts.
Flower as a gift
The Bible teaches that we are to show kindness and consideration to one another. To send flowers on special
occasions is a good way to express love and kindness to those who are special in our hearts. Practicing love and
showing kindness are always a good thing. Other than expressing love and kindness, flowers go a long way when it
comes to apologies and special occasions, but for the most part, the best time to give her flowers is when there's no
occasion at all. When you buy her roses because you messed up, although the gesture is still wonderful, it's evident
that it's a cry for forgiveness. But if you buy her flowers just because you want her to know that you love her and
think of her constantly, she'll feel more attractive and appreciated like never before. The element of surprise
(considering there really is no special occasion) will also add to her pleasant revelation.
Valentine
Valentine's day is the day of love. Reach out to your loved ones with dazzling bouquets and vibrant flowers to make
them feel special. Valentine's day flowers is the perfect way to say 'I love you', when your relationship is new and
fragile, and a great reason to return to polite, courteous behavior, if you have been together for a while. Moreover, it's
a good time for promises to maintain that romantic spirit throughout the year with a bouquet of beautiful Valentine's
Day flowers. Roses are ranked first on the Valentine's Day flower list. Roses of different colors have different
meanings. Red roses are the Valentine's Day favorite - they symbolize passionate desire. Pink roses signify
sophistication and elegance. Yellow is the "friendship" color for roses. White roses mean purity and fidelity. And
purple is associated with royalty. A bouquet of purple roses is an excellent choice of Valentine's Day flowers, meant
for the king/queen of your heart. If you send Valentine's Day flowers to a man, choose crisp colors ' red, orange, and
yellow. For a romantic masculine feel consider a linear floral design. Men would also respond well to blooming
plants. When Valentine's Day is on a weekday, make his coworkers jealous with flowers delivered to his office.
Whatever Valentine's Day flowers you picked, don't forget to express your feelings with a note. Even a simple list of
the reasons you love him/her for can be a touching gift and the words "I love you" will mean more than the most
exquisite poetry.
Mother's Day
The Romans welcomed the month of May by dedicating the month to Flora, the Roman flower goddess; and spent
the first day of May gathering flowers as offerings to her. Flowers have been associated with Mother's Day
celebrations from the beginning. Even in the ancient world, the Mother Goddesses were celebrated with garlands of
flowers. Anna Jarvis promoted carnations, the favorite flowers of her mother, as the official Mother's Day flowers.
"White carnations were chosen because they represented the sweetness, purity and endurance of mother love. Red
carnations, in time, became the symbol of a living mother." Today, bouquets of cut spring flowers are customary
Mother's Day gifts.
