Flash Back: Stripes

>> Tuesday, January 11, 2011 – 


The classic, horizontal striped shirt. Two things come to mind when thinking about this look: the Navy and Coco Chanel. The stripped shirt was originally seen on sailors, particularly the French. Having rather salty connotations because of its origins, this shirt was seen as a masculine fashion. (Hard to believe, huh?) However, in the 1920s, Coco Chanel revolutionized the fashion world through her menswear inspired, simple clothing. Blazers, trousers, and the infamous striped shirt were the foundational pieces of her signature look. Simple, yet couture, this darling style has made it back on the street. From Forever 21 to J. Crew to Nordstroms - there's a style for every budget. Grab a baguette, some brie, and bon shopping!

"Courage is not simply one of the virtues, but the form of every virtue at the testing point." - C.S. Lewis

"To laugh often and much; to win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children; to earn the appreciation of honest critics and to endure the betrayal of false friends. To appreciate beauty; to find the best in others; to leave the world a bit better whether by a healthy child, a garden patch or a redeemed social condition; to know that even one life has breathed easier because you have lived. This is to have succeeded." - Ralph Waldo Emerson

Somewhere I Have Never Travelled

Somewhere I Have Never Travelled
(By E. E. Cummings) Somewhere I have never travelled, gladly beyond Any experience, your eyes have their silence: In your most frail gesture are things which enclose me, Or which I cannot touch because they are too near Your slightest look easily will unclose me Though I have closed myself as fingers, You open always petal by petal myself as Spring opens (Touching skillfully, mysteriously)her first rose Or if your wish be to close me, I and My life will shut very beautifully ,suddenly, As when the heart of this flower imagines The snow carefully everywhere descending; Nothing which we are to perceive in this world equals The power of your intense fragility: whose texture Compels me with the color of its countries, Rendering death and forever with each breathing (I do not know what it is about you that closes And opens; only something in me understands The voice of your eyes is deeper than all roses) Nobody, not even the rain, has such small hands
