It begins….
“Hark! It is September. Does this mean the leaves are starting to change and it's going to get chilly? Where did Summer go? I still have white, strapless dresses that have tags still attached and sandals that don't even have scuff marks on their bottoms. Well, thank goodness I live in Los Angeles, but for most of the world this means the changing of the closet! Unwrapping those cashmere sweaters, buying new wooden cedar hanger inserts, and starting to say good-bye to the romper trend. (For some of you that's a "thank-god." Though, owning a cute silk butterscotch Marc Jacobs one myself, I loved it!). So, to debut our Fall look I decided on the lovely Celine which is oh so French, and oh so divine, that you can't help but look sophisticated in its luxurious fabrics and its "I didn't try too hard" look. I know when the seasons start to change I wanna be cozy. I hate being unprepared for the weather outside and being itchy with bad wool or sweaty by being swamped by too much fabric. I like light layers that keep me warm. The Fall is great for layering lightly while experimenting with fabrics that will mesh with your lifestyle.
The outfit I've chosen………………..

C’mon, take a peek. It’s fashion. It’s Monday. Give yourself a break! ;)It begins….

A lot of fun because of the reader interaction and the humorous writing. She is a fun read and her blog is so eclectic, she always is coming up with something new (though “Fashion Fridays!” is a weekly staple).
This week is all about being a class act but doing it chicly! The look is really classic with fine details. You could wear this to a tea, a girly event, but you’d stand out for having a great cut, or fine detailing. There is an Elizabeth & James jacket to die for and a Nicole Farhi skirt that looks like a painting. Really stunning pieces.
Enjoy! Great pictures, very humorous and captions too!

If you're not familiar with the term "Kinbaku", it literally means "Bondage"... "Kinbaku-bi" is probably more apt, meaning "Beautiful Bondage"... it is the art of restraint using ropes and very intricate knots.
I'm rather fascinated with the subject so wrote a quick blog... opinions everyone? (on the subject, and blog if you please!) :)If you're not familiar with the term "Kinbaku", it literally means... more

Every Monday is the “Wish List,” a blog entry dedicated to one online shopping site where a dream outfit is compiled editorial style from the site. The blogger is a magazine editor so the page is like her dream editorial spread as if she had complete creative rights without any Editor cutting her off! She gives you a great history about the brand, a little story about the look she compiled and then picks the outfit based on the theme of the spread adding captions explaining each item she’s chosen. Really fun and unique. This week it’s the cutting edge store Opening Ceremony and she has chosen really unique designers that are up and coming and really in-the-know in the fashion world (except for a pair of Hussein Chalayan heels---killer—seriously, killer). The look is how to get upgraded to First Class when you fly, so you’ll definitely want to check this outfit out---who want’s to fly coach with a bunch of screaming kids when you could be sipping champagne with a big cozy leather chair up-front pimp style!

Shopping is really fun when you don’t have to actually spend any money, right? This magazine editor has a bit of fun and does the online shopping for you as if she were going to the soiree herself, but sadly, can’t buy the pieces. But, maybe YOU can! Last week she rocked http://www.oneof365.com/category/qvc/ (and it was amazing if you can believe it!) and this week it’s Frenchconnection.com. The look is “artdeco/boho chic” and she’s picked out a glam look that’s sleek and sweet—perfect for night to day transition. She gives you a great excellent styling tips, and puts together an amazing outfit you can buy online right now. She has zero affiliation with any of the sites she “shops” from so this isn’t her hocking the goods, it’s just her having a bit of fun as a magazine editor.

The world's first silks exhibiting fluorescence and other pioneering properties have been successfully developed as a result of transgenic silkworm research conducted by Japanese researchers. The feats were achieved by scientists at the National Institute of Agrobiological Sciences (NIAS) in cooperation with other organizations, including Toray Industries, Inc. and Tokyo University of Agriculture and Technology. The functional fibers, which are expected to have wide-ranging applications, are an extension of the institute's success in achieving the world's first genetic modification of silkworms in 2002.
Fluorescent SilkSilk thread is made by pulling threads from cocoons made by silkmoth larvae (silkworms). Researchers have now developed three lines of transgenic silkworms. The first line produces silk threads that emit green, red, or orange fluorescent light. These threads were created by introducing into silkworm eggs genes that promote the generation of fluorescent proteins. NIAS has been able to achieve green fluorescence using genes extracted from jellyfish, a technique developed by Nobel Prize-winning chemist Osamu Shimomura, and red and orange fluorescence with genes extracted from coral, a technique that has already been used in commercial applications.
The introduction of these genes alone, however, produced only small cocoons with a low incidence of fluorescent proteins. The researchers overcame these problems by repeatedly crossing the fluorescent silkworm lines with ordinary silkworm varieties. Moreover, thread from silk cocoons is normally extracted by pulling thread from cocoons that have been placed in very hot water, but this heat destroys the fluorescent proteins. NIAS therefore developed a new means of extracting silk thread at low temperatures using alkaline agents.
The fluorescent silk threads have great potential for use in the fashion industry, and there is expected to be considerable demand for them from producers of high-end apparel. To promote this new material, NIAS displayed a dress, jacket, lamp shade, and other prototype products made with fluorescent silk at an autumn 2007 trade show in Tokyo. An increasing number of inquiries has been received from manufacturers and designers in the fashion business.

Science shows that it is unstoppable once again, as research shows that by adding small amounts of metal to spider silk, it can triple the original strength of the material.
This means that the silk - which is natually stronger and lighter than steel - may be used in the surgical field as a tool during surgery, to create articifial bones/tendons, and of course more durable textiles.Science shows that it is unstoppable once again, as research shows that by adding... more
