I am only one,
But still I am one.
I cannot do everything,
But still I can do something;
And because I cannot do everything
I will not refuse to do the something that I can do.

How to Create Your Own Dress Style

• Style is a reflection of your attitude and your personality.
Shawn Ashmore

• Style is the image of character.Edward Gibbon

• Style is an expression of individualism mixed with charisma. Fashion is something that comes after style.
John Fairchild

Most important of all, be yourself. Creating a personal style is really just wearing what you want. Think more positively and be more constructive and expressive with your ideas and abilities.

Fashion & Style Tips

All my life I had been looking for something, and everywhere I turned someone tried to tell me what it was.  I accepted their answers too, though they were often in contradiction and even self-contradictory.  I was naïve.  I was looking for myself and asking everyone except myself questions which I, and only I, could answer.  It took me a long time and much painful boomeranging of my expectations to achieve a realization everyone else appears to have been born with:  that I am nobody but myself.  ~Ralph Ellison, "Battle Royal"

You were born an original.  Don't die a copy.  ~John Mason

Every time you don't follow your inner guidance, you feel a loss of energy, loss of power, a sense of spiritual deadness.  ~Shakti Gawain

NOTHING TO WEAR - wear the same black dress 365/7

Absolutely Fabulous idea!

The Uniform Project™ started in 2009 when a young woman realized she was drowning in the doldrums of an advertising career. To counter the uninspired demands of the corporate world, she came up with an unusual creative challenge; to wear the same dress for an entire year – but, and this is where the real challenge came in, she'd have to make it look unique every single day and do so without buying anything new.

All Your Big-Picture Horoscopes in One Place

Rob Brezny forecasts for me  in 2011.

PART 1
Richard Grossinger is my friend, my teacher, and the brilliant author of numerous books. (His latest is called 2013: Raising the Earth to the Next Vibration.) He is also a humble adept in the high art of gratitude. On his website, he has a page devoted to expressing vivid appreciation for the 71 best teachers of his life. His testimony is a riveting and touching reminder of how each of us is a creation of all the important people we've loved and hated. Compiling such a list should, I think, be a rite of passage for anyone who aspires to be an authentic human being. There will never be a better time than 2011 for you to do this work yourself, Libra.

PART 2
In 2011, I believe you will have the chance to weave your fortunes together with an abundance of allies who are good for you. They will be your equals, they will share at least some of your most important values, and they will respect you for who you are. That's excellent news, right? My only worry is that you might shy away from the demands that such invigorating collaborations will make on you. It would be less work, after all, to fall back into reliance on more prosaic relationships that don't ask so much of you. Please don't take the easy way out, Libra. Rise to the occasion!

PART 3
Africa is cracking open in preparation for the birth of a new ocean. The whole process will take 10 million years, but the first sign occurred in 2005, when a 37-mile-long fissure appeared in Ethiopia. Eventually, say geologists, the rift will grow enormous and fill up with seawater. I expect a metaphorically comparable development for you in 2011, Libra: the subtle yet monumental beginning of a new "ocean" you'll be enjoying and learning from and dealing with for many years to come.



I believe the future is only the past again, entered through another gate.  ~Arthur Wing Pinero, The Second Mrs. Tanqueray, 1893

For people of fashion, choosing vintage is inevitable

“Vintage clothing is different. Wearing vintage is like wearing an haute couture original, as nobody else will have the same thing. What’s more, you usually get a quality that is rarely found these days, which means luxurious fabrics, hand finishing, unusual buttons, hand embroidery, handmade lace, crochet, appliqué and beading.”

World's most beautiful couple: and the figures to prove it

Naomi Campbell  & Christian Bale

According to this

http://www.independent.co.uk/news/science/worlds-most-beautiful-couple-and-the-figures-to-prove-it-439782.html

Listen to the Exhortation of the Dawn!
Look to this Day!
For it is Life, the very Life of Life.
In its brief course lie all the
Verities and Realities of your Existence.
The Bliss of Growth,
The Glory of Action,
The Splendor of Beauty;
For Yesterday is but a Dream,
And To-morrow is only a Vision;
But To-day well lived makes
Every Yesterday a Dream of Happiness,
And every Tomorrow a Vision of Hope.
Look well therefore to this Day!
Such is the Salutation of the Dawn!

Missoni Spring 2011

I know that if odour were visible, as colour is, I'd see the summer garden in rainbow clouds. Robert Bridges

I am of the African race, and in the colour which is natural to them of the deepest dye; and it is under a sense of the most profound gratitude to the Supreme Ruler of the Universe. John Barton

I became intrigued with colour theory. The absurd pronouncements of the Colour Institute, a group that decides what colours are hot each year or season, amused me. Benjamin Banneker
