Happy Holidays 2011

Merry Christmas!!!

...and Happy Holidays to everyone!

Cheers!

Just passing through...

Life is fleeting.

Have you ever had a moment....

.....and then missed it.

Like.... when you feel like saying something to someone,

and you don’t say anything,

and then regret it.

Be present in every moment around you

there’s life everywhere

see it

feel it

grab it

before it passes by.

We’re just passing through...

Truth and Beauty

As beautiful as these masks are,

they hide and conceal one’s true self.

Truth cannot be masked,

eventually your true colors will shine. 

Be honest.

Be authentic!

A Draping Class?

A course in fashion draping?

No. 

For some women this is a typical and ordinary, daily way of dressing. 

Next time you moan: “What am I going to wear?”....count your fashion blessings.

You will never have this day again

In view of recent earthquakes, we must stop, reflect and appreciate life. 

Each precious conscious moment.

Each heartbeat.

Each breath.

Breathe!

You will never have this day again.

An Ensemble of Symbols

Every item you wear is a symbol representing something.

(note in detail all the symbols this man is wearing!)

With time and practice you can learn to “read” people.  

What you wear says something about you. 

And through your clothing you speak to the world. 

What do YOU want to say?

Inspiration

Inspiration.  From tea?  Yes.

Yellow.

Chamomile yellow – soft, not too bright, not too dark.  Soothing.

Like the tea.

A nice warm calming relaxing cup of tea.

Mmmmmm...

Feel the warmth, flowing

filling your belly.

Stop

Close your eyes

Breathe

Let ideas come to you

Open your eyes

Get a pencil

Draw

Sketch

Write

Compose.

Yes, yellow – chamomile yellow.

Tomorrow? Jasmine :)
