So This Is Christmas

Merry Christmas is such an infectious feeling I like to feel that way all year around.

So if you are visiting just before Christmas, just after Christmas or even here on Christmas day I am sure you will find something of interest for you and in the spirit of Christmas.

It may be said that Christmas is no longer a celebration but this must be spoken by people that have never had trouble closing their eyes on Christmas Eve in an expectation of what maybe left for them on the carpet under the tree.

I continue to look forward to the surprise on my Grandchild's faces to this day at Christmas events.

Merry Christmas - Merry Christmas - Merry Christmas

Dress like it's the 4th of July

By Sisi Tsoi


It's that interval again; when the alcoholic beverages are running, the sky is loaded with fireworks, and no meals are finished without a piece of apple pie. With Independence Day just passed, the Americana style design is hot to trot. At once awesome and traditional, this indicates for chance, excellent viewpoint and durability. Whether you are already on the road to your dreams or want to look for your own ambitions, this look will ensure you want to take a journey in a beat-up American car and get exploring the States.

If you want to be a representative for the country's great style, there are worse places to start than with the classic stars and stripes. Fly the flag grandly in a blue and red sweater with some torn denim hotpants, or pair some shorts emblazoned with the flag and a large white or blue tank for casual and matching style. Complete with used Converse or a stunning pair of heels depending on whether you're off to catch a baseball game or getting a few drinks in the bar. Of course, the heels will look incredible regardless. There are extra points for people who dedicate to the cause by wearing some boots inspired by the Wild West and its cowgirls.

If you want to reference American culture in slightly less literal ways, look to Prada's Spring/Summer 2012 collection for 1950s glamorous inspiration. The muscle-car print, mimicked elsewhere at ASOS and Primark, is cute and knowingly kitschy, while the leather pieces add a touch of sophistication to the fun. Make like a beauty school dropout with swing skirts in pretty pastels and prints, topped with bandeaus and gingham tie blouses. Add a headscarf and some cat eye sunglasses for a vintage sex appeal that never gets old.

The Pink Ladies inspiration doesn't need to stop there. Hunt for a leather bomber jacket and customise with your favourite badges and pins, and go for waist belts to accentuate your curves in those flattering and go-with-everything pencil skirts. Shop for a classic Birkin-esque oversized handbag to perfect a look that's more Stepford Wives than Desperate Housewives. Include lady-like printed blouses on your wish list so that you can easily pair separates for a capsule wardrobe to die for. Perfect for a cross-country journey on the highway!

This isn't a look that you need to use from go to toe. Actually, only those sensation particularly fascinated may want to. You can quickly sign at your passion for all factors Combined declares by considering traditional signs such as Silver eagles, Uncle Sam, the Grand Canyon and the Statue of Liberty. Clothing and anklet wristbands such as these elements are available and toss a subtler compensate to the States, in scenario you're concerned about looking like a strolling flagpole. For an all-American encounter that's even easier, just think preppiness and relaxation. Tommy Hilfiger, Calvin Klein and Rob Lauren have been showing the planet how it's done for many, and who are we to disagreement with these American greats?
