THE AWESOME ARGYLE GIRL!

When it comes to Fashion, make your own rules. Take things from the past and create a look that defines you. A simple pattern that redefines the look of an outfit leaves one more than expressive, but a connoisseur of Vintage fashion.

ARGYLE…The INFO: 
-“The argyle pattern is derived from the tartan of Clan Campbell, of Argyll in western Scotland ^[1], and from the patterned socks worn by Scottish Highlanders since at least the 17th century”.
-“Argyle knitwear became fashionable in England and then the USA after the first world war.” 

-“Most argyle layouts contain layers of overlapping motifs, adding a sense of three-dimensionality,movement, and texture.

VOICE OF NINA SIMONE: COMPLEXITY OF A WOMAN

As I listened to these words, I began to understand the essence of a woman. Smooth skin, round curves, wide eyes and thick hair. Its a beautiful thing to be a woman; the womb of nature. A planted seed creating humanity under its bosom. The primary source of life as it stands. Although, we are beautiful, the darkness behind our tears can puncture the world. The true struggle of identity and sexuality takes a mental role in our behavior. I watched "For Colored Girls" and realized its not just "For Colored Girls" but its for the world. Understanding the dynamic effect one human being has on another; brings realization that self love is the first love to a greater love.

NOW LISTEN:

SWEET VELVET KISSES

Tweeted yesterday; “my current fetish: Red lipstick, Fishnets and VELVET! Not really sure if I’m going through a romance renaissance period in my life but I can’t help to think how I truly love the essence of velvet. The soft, smooth, plush fabric; running through my fingers as I motion up and down, up and down. Hmmm, well maybe not so much. I know many of you are thinking “that’s so whack and tacky” but Fall/Winter 2010 fashion forecast calls for the touch of velvet, believe it or not.  It’s Hot, It’s fierce and Velvet is mad dope!

THE LESSON…

-Velvet has in fact been around as early on as 2000BC

- The Egyptians were documented using a technique similar to the one that is utilized today in velvet production

- Velvet was a highly prized textile which symbolized wealth, power and prestige; which were only worn by nobleman and high honors

-Velour (Juicy Couture tracksuits and Velveteen (the rabbit) are NOT Velvet, Stop Fakin!
