Oh my gosh! Love this exotic style!

Belly dancers really know how to get that exotic and mysterious look! I love these headpieces with matching jewelry from www.flyingskirts.com!

When I see styles like these, it makes me want to keep practicing my belly dancing so that I have an excuse to buy the clothes!

I like Missoni's unusual, eclectic style

I really like Missoni's Fall 2009 collection. In fact, It's very cold here in Ohio and I'm tired of wearing the same old thing.

I am thinking about trying out some styles similar to the ones shown here. I am a knitter from way back, so maybe I could make some big scarves and layer them on.

This style seems very eclectic and Multicultural. The tights remind me of something a ballerina would wear. In fact, if I had to guess who would wear these clothes, I would say that it should be a world famous ballerina who travels all over the globe. Even though I'm a small town college professor, i wouldn't mind projecting this image!

Erdem Moralioglu has a beautiful fall collection!

I have never heard of this designer before but now I'm a big fan. What beautiful colors! I can't get over the matching shoes! I have a feeling that this London designer will be getting a lot more attention from now on!

Rodarte's Fall 2009 Collection is artsy and original

These two sisters come up with some really clever stuff! These beautiful dresses look like handmade collage art, incorporating knitting, leather and some other materials I can't identify. I would probably not wear something like this, but it is very pretty to look at. I might be willing to try the PVC leggings if I had the right tunic top to wear it with. (Photos from www.style.com)

If you wanna be a rock star, check out Marc Jacobs!

I don't know how he does it. Marc Jacobs comes up with more great designs than anyone! I love this rock and roll style but its a bit too literal for my taste. I might try a few things, like the patterned tights!

Ever heard of reverse graffiti?

Remember that stupid old joke where people write "wash me" in dirt on a car. Well this is definitely an improvement on that old technique.

I COULD HARDLY BELIEVE MY EYES WHEN i FIRST SAW THESE. These pictures were actually drawn only using artisits brushes and plain old dirty windows.

The only problem is that after all of that work, a good rainstorm could wash it away. I guess that's why the guy took pictures. This technique is called reverse graffiti, and apparently is being used by advertisers in Europe. The artist who did these pictures is Scott Wade and you can see these pictures and more at www.environmentalgraffiti.com.

Newport News has really great deals on bathing suits

These lovely bathing suits are from www.newportnews.com. I just checked out the site this morning and they have some great deals on swimsuits of all kinds - most are between $25 and $50.

I bought several swimsuits from them about six years ago and they have held up pretty well. I can personally vouch for the fact that these are very good quality suits for the money. I have gotten many compliments on the suits that I bought from them a few years ago.
