(This is the necklace on its shortest setting.) I'm pretty pleased with this...the pearls are good quality and the overall look is dressy because of the black and clear Swarovski crystals. Side note: are Swarovski crystals all that? I think they are. I've used Chinese crystals; somehttp://thebroadroom.net/lp/fashion/blogs/2007/01/year-2-of-making-jewelry.htmlColleen Shirazihttp://www.blogger.com/feeds/12268001/posts/summary/116633356220891272Sun, 17 Dec 2006 05:22:00 +00002006-12-18T13:35:10.536-05:00It's Colleen btw. I switched my Blogger account to the beta version...mumbles...on the premise that the new Blogger features "labels." This is a feature that other blogging programs already have; at the least, it means we can categorize our posts (under, say, "Chanel," "grunge," "ramblings" etc.); same post may contain multiple labels. Ideally it would also mean our labels would be keywords, http://thebroadroom.net/lp/fashion/blogs/2006/12/more-jewelry-ramblings.htmlTheLipstickPageForums.comhttp://www.blogger.com/feeds/12268001/posts/summary/116630484045844657Sat, 16 Dec 2006 21:25:00 +00002006-12-17T02:20:24.686-05:00Throw it on for warmth Daryl K-189 Jacket: In my mind, I saw a boxy black jacket, no embellishments whatsoever, very 80s prep school, worn casually with the sleeves rolled up. You have no idea how difficult it was to find one. Plain doesn't sell these days, apparently. But this one is perfect. All the lines (collar, shoulders, pockets, hem) are soft and curvy... sneakily feminine. Swim!

On such a simple palette of clothes, it's tempting to throw on as many accessories as possible. What wouldn't work? I like these basic clothes, as a sort of palette cleanser, but it really lets you showcase your personality in terms of accessories. For example, simple and earthy: A wooden bracelet, sleek leather sandals, and gold hoop earrings. But I am going to take my cue fromhttp://thebroadroom.net/lp/fashion/blogs/2006/12/resort-part-3_09.htmldain.choi@yale.edu (Dain)http://www.blogger.com/feeds/12268001/posts/summary/116563184390170456Sat, 09 Dec 2006 02:24:00 +00002006-12-08T22:39:37.633-05:00I've finished my second phase of making jewelry. It's a process remarkably similar to figuring out makeup and learning to use it well, rather than in a default or exaggerated manner. Oh, here it is: Minimalism? (philosophical makeup use). It's not quite the same in that I think of phase one of jewelry making as a combination of "gee whiz, I can make my own jewelry?" and "it's incredibly http://thebroadroom.net/lp/fashion/blogs/2006/12/jewelry-ramblings.htmlColleen Shirazihttp://www.blogger.com/feeds/12268001/posts/summary/116554552720608557Fri, 08 Dec 2006 02:14:00 +00002006-12-08T00:49:52.223-05:00Softest shirts... 1. Weekend James Perse Mini Jersey Jewel-Neck Tee: Purist. A simple tissue-thin tee, in a vibrant shade. Why wear white? 2. Day Derek Lam High Neck Ruffle Blouse: Romantic. A frilly shirt in a gothic color: rich powdery grape silk. Add classic pumps, maybe even animal print. 3. Night Anthropologie Vivi V-Neck: Sultry.

But I think the cult of personality that has accumulated around Kate Moss is starting to... it's ridiculous.

I don't care if she's too cool to "give a fuck", I don't care if this is "fashion"... this is some tiny, coked out woman jumping around with her top off. That is not an intelligent lifestyle choice. What are we celebrating here? Ignorance? Lack of conscience? Cool. And as for her being a style setter?

It is a waste of money. A rushed pictoral history, it looks like someone sat down and ate an archive and vomit all over the pages. WORST: the editorial "Magical History Tour". Combines two most nauseating trends at present: fashion looking back on itself (self-referential tailoring is getting out of hand) and, and... layering.

Would that I were going to some place peaceful and warm. But sometimes a little commodity fetishism (it must be admitted) is just the ticket out, albeit a virtual one. For that matter, these clothes are virtual. The formal perfection of Grace Kelly. The inspiration for this look.

(Save November's Beauty Scrapbook.) So I leave you with this to ponder, speaking of exquisite dresses. These two are from Alexander McQueen, I think FALL 2006. Happy Thanksgiving!

You know, leggings, complicated dress, tunics, tailored jackets, whatever, all on top of each other. I don't care if you do it in neutrals. It looks stupid. I hate to see it whenever I flip through glossies (Lucky in particular reeks with too much layering. What is happening to this magazine? It's going downhill.
