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

Vintage Styles Dresses- Baroque Style

By Sisi Tsoi


Baroque is prominent at the moment. At the same time some individuals don't like to jump on the fashion train, we admire testing out brand-new products and also having fun with style. It doesn't mean you have to look like everybody else; with certain fashion onward prints and designs, you can find subtler versions on the high street, or alternatively move all out to blend and also correspond with fashion, so as to ensure it is definitively your own.

Baroque images are often associated with old-fashioned Versace, and there's little doubt that their collaboration with H&M in 2011 have something to do with their revival. The industry has continually revered Versace's impact while it moved to the very idea of the supermodel, and the pictures of Naomi Campbell, Linda Evangelista and Christy Turlington in Gianni's prints at the moment are iconic.

Versace inspired baroque can be quite pleasurable to wear. Colourful chain pattern dresses are eye-catching, stylish, and an enormously simple method to inject some life into an outfit. It comprises the hopefulness and partying connotations of the 1980s and early 1990s, whenever supermodels had contours and experienced their cocktail drinks as opposed to their fruit juice cleanses. It possesses a nostalgic component that is certainly nearly tacky, with its tongue in cheek brashiness, and there may be emphatically an area for a piece or 2 in every girl's wardrobe.

These jewel-toned and neon offerings are not the only way to incorporate the baroque trend into our style, however. Traditionally, baroque prints come from gothic art, and have religious undertones. It takes inspiration from architecture, fine art, even classical music, and as such has a real drama and grandeur about it. The best contemporary example we can look towards for gothic baroque style is Dolce and Gabanna's Fall 2012 collection. A palette of deepest black and luxurious gold makes for a stunning collection, one that has inspired the high street and online stores alike. It is a paradoxical combination of simplicity and opulence, and there are some truly beautiful dresses available that take their cue from the Milanese fashion house. These dresses manage to put across the wearer's sexiness as well as being ladylike and feminine; it is truly a powerful trend, and one perfect for this party season. The color palette is one that conjures up ideas of deepest winter, seasonal luxury and this special time of year.

Baroque style is a winning combination of vintage prints and contemporary shapes. The prints are found on shifts, skaters, and bodycon dresses; flared skirts, nipped in waists, straight-edged shifts or floor-length gowns, so that the print can be enjoyed by those with all types of figures and shapes. Whilst black and gold are the most conventionally luxurious colors we might think of - and certainly are the easiest way to pay tribute to our favorite Italian designers - other tones and combinations can bring other connotations and shake up the trend in unexpected, delightful ways. With baroque, there will always be a vintage style elegance, but there can also be an unconventional, unique element too.
