Cotton Crush – Walking in High Cotton

Green Cotton Reflection

Filed under: Uncategorized — Tags: — admin @ 2:33 am

Some Brooklyn designer has been creating garments from organic cotton and organic wool in a wind-powered NYC factory. She has gained fame as the designer behind Rapscallion for Urban Outfitters and the erstwhile one-half of eco-design duo Bodkin. Her romantic designs, from sweet pleated skirts to plaid rompers to long layered dresses, are clearly retro-inspired—what quirky-indie darling Zooey Deschanel might wear to a movie premiere or just on a bike ride (on a vintage bicycle, natch).

Indeed,  Starre Vartan reports that Pleet was influenced by the movies—and by romance. “I love cinema and I love my husband, so the line is influenced by that,” Pleet said. The Fall 2010 collection exudes the same charm and whimsy that makes her Urban Outfitters line so popular—only much more eco-chic.

All About the Cut when it Comes to White Dresses

Filed under: Uncategorized — Tags: — admin @ 2:27 am

Like I mentioned before, it’s all about the cut when it comes to white dresses. Find a dress that fits you well and flatters your figure. To dress up or down, add a blazer, a belt at your natural waist or a cardigan. Since white is neutral, you can technically pair it with any other color and be okay. However, there are some colors that work better for this season. Choose bright, bold colors, light brown leathers, lavender and classic black for best results.

Undergarments
White dresses, unless made of a very thick material, are almost always see-through. To avoid distasteful showing of panties and bras, wear undergarments that match your skin tone. And, always wear a slip! Go for a light nude or white slip.
Shoes

Depending on the style, you can wear flats or heels with white dresses. For work wear, choose classic heels in black, light brown, nude or a bold color like navy, pink, red or green. For evening wear, go for a bright, fun or metallic pair of heels. For weekend attire, opt for flat sandals.
Accessorize

A white dress is a blank palette. You can keep the simple elegance of the dress by adding a thin strand of pearls. Or, you can go all out with statement jewelry. Choose monochromatic jewelry for the best pop and contrast. Bright pinks, turquoise, green, yellow and black are all great options. Or go for the metallic look with a gold statement necklace and wide cuff.

Wide belts work best with white dresses, adding another dimension to the dress

White Dress with Office Look

Filed under: Uncategorized — Tags: — admin @ 2:25 am

Wearing white to the office is totally okay. It’s true that white dresses can look a bit more summery and, incidentally, more casual. So, if you need to look more professional in your workplace, layer a blazer or belt a cardigan over the dress and opt for heels instead of flats. Read more about which shoes to wear below.

The dresses I’ve chosen to spotlight here are more conservative than those in other categories since you’ll want to look respectable at work. Make sure you wear the proper undergarments for all white dresses, but especially for those you wear to work!

a cardigan is so much better to go with it.

Essential Dress for Summer Weekends

Filed under: Uncategorized — Tags: — admin @ 2:23 am

The little white dress is high summer’s answer to the little black dress. But whereas black can sometimes look a little too safe and dreary on a balmy summer’s day or night, bright white has true star quality, as celebrities such as Kate Moss, Cat Deeley,  Uma Thurman and Kate Beckinsale have all discovered this season.

The little white dress evokes many tender memories. It can be sweet and innocent, like a fairytale wedding day or a first communion. It can be dazzkubg ib tge red caroet as a long slink, strewn with sequins, or it can be hippy-trail simple, as in a cotton kaftan with white-on-white embroidery, tossed over a bikini.

It is also the essential dress for summer weekends and holidays; nothing else sets off a gleaming golden (fake or real) tan in quite the same way.

White Dresses Inspiration

White dresses were pretty much a staple for designers’s Spring 2009 collections. Almost every show featured one or more, mostly of the cocktail dress variety. They were so prevalent, some fashionistas have claimed the little white dress might replace the little black dress this Spring.

It’s hard to argue with how ideal they are for the season. They’re light, optimistic and look great against tanned skin! And, don’t be fooled into thinking white makes you look fat. It all depends on the cut of the dress. Even black dresses, which are supposed to be slimming, can make you look heavier than you are if the cut isn’t flattering.

Runaway Inspiration

Like I said, white dresses were in nearly every Spring 2009 show. Here are a few of my favorites.

Maybe not the best choice now, with bamboo fabric such a popularity. It’s also natural, but can withand hard frequent wash and also heat water.

I got both cotton underewear and ones that made of bamboo fabric, I found the latter more cosy and shapes good after so long time.

So it’s time to change the old mindset and give yourself some change for a while, for your parents, you could give them some nice presents to make them happy.

The new house I bought is so nice and near a very nice mountain footer, so I was so lucky that i found such a good place like this, with price that I can basically afford. I always believes my own choice.
