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
