Fall Fashion Runway

A big entrance starts with a painted catsuit with flags and symbols. The runway for fall 2010 is filled with blacks,whites and grey tones. As Lanvin showed.















Mix of temporal colors: teals and reds,warm and cold colors alltogether.The presence of feathers,fur and more types of fur is absolute.Pheasant,sheep,fur,leather completed the path.The introduction,one more time of camel,made an appearance that was come back from many years ago.

For the hair,laid back,ponitail,rodette,ballerina style.For accessories: birds again.Feathers on shoes and on jewelry,gold tones and diamonds.Mix of textures,some soft ,a lot of bold.Green accents,nature alive,animals not in prints but in skin. Chains,halter tops,very hard core.

The bride,what a better chance I have to close the show with a Swan Like gown designed by Alexander Mc Queen as the text recites: left the earth with a slice of heaven.

My bedroom was needing a makeover.

When I moved to this house I fell in love at first sight the the deep blue walls of the bedroom.

Only days after I knew I was pregnant and my desire to keep a clean room as well as a clean house was fading and other responsabilities took place so my chances to make this my dream bedroom were really short. After almost 3 years I decided that I needed my place back ,with no toys or small and dangerous objects. I needed a Sanctuary. That's what I seek in my bedroom. A place of solitude, a calming island in the middle of the adventurous days.The creation of a restful haven rests in one word. Comfort.

Prevailing home décor trends speak to definitive comfort, especially in the bedroom. We took a trip to the closest IKEA and I designed someway in my mind and in paper how to put all this ideas together. A dark blue duvet covers with lime green blooms, layered chenille blankets and sheets in pale green,yellow and tan bedskirt, and pillows galore in organic off white with green stitches,— and I had to have my favorite : a black pillow embroidered with white birds. Yes,feathers,you got that right.

Our daughter painted in off white our old vintage yellowish art deco bed tables and drawers and we got a new dresser with an old vintage feeling in off white too,replacing the old furniture. I took off the bed head and by the way I have a lot of vintage furniture to giveaway if someone is interested.

The theme for comfort plays on the trend of mixing fabrics and textures. It’s more about blending fabrics and colors that complement each other rather than exactly match each other.It’s about creating the unexpected. Uniqueness .It's about what makes you feel good.

On the other end of the flare spectrum, taking a cue from nature, many of today’s bedding styles incorporate bold designs but in patterns of leaves, botanicals and blooms — one of the most arresting looks is the mixing and matching of pillow covers and sheets in opposing hues of the bedspread .

I wish I had an old picture to show the : before and after,but trust me,this is much better and I'm happy.

Laura's house of art.

Saturday night, my friend Laura organized dinner at her house featuring a whole arab theme and when I said arab I meant ALL ARAB! She prepared arab foods,some dishes that I never tried in my life like KEBAB? it's that the right name? Maybe someone can correct me and other names that I don't really remember. But essencially for an artist what it really catched my attention was her art: arab paintings all over the house.Actually one of the rooms is completely arab: paintings,furniture,decorations and everything you can imagine. It was a wonderful display of art and creativity and also seeing her very good taste,neatness and passion for what he does. So this is to you Laura ,cheers!
