Here's a style I could try to make

When I was a kid back in the 60s and 70s we embellished our jeans. It would be a fun weekend project to do some embellishments like the ones shown here. Glad to see the look coming back and style. (photo from The Sartorialist)

I'm rooting for Adam Lambert to win "Idol"




Although Kris Allen seems like a good guy, I'm a big Adam Lambert fan. As it turns out, he's extremely good looking whether he's dressed as a man or a woman! I love his hair style and his black rocker look that he sports most of the time on Idol.

I love fun glasses




I probably have one of the largest collections of prescription eyeglasses of anyone in the world. I am extremely near-sighted and have worn glasses or contacts most of my life, so they have become a major part of my self-concept and image. I also like it that glasses symbolizes that a person is smart, educated and well-read (which I am). A few days ago, i got contact lenses, but I have to get several new pairs of glasses anyway, because I can't see to read or at midrange. Of course I also had to get some stylish new sunglasses.












Cool new dancing shoes


The last few months I have been taking classes in both belly dancing and latin dance aerobics (Zumba). I've also had a lot of fun buying and making costumes and dancewear. I saw these new sandals yesterday at www.onstagedancewer.com, and I had to get them. They are called the "Dansurf 2" by manufacturer Sansha. While they don't particularly match my belly dance costumes, I'll enjoy wearing them in class to protect my feet. I also like to wear this style with casual clothes on evenings and weekends.

Coachella festival was the place to be




Although I rarely get to California, i wish I could have gone to the Coachella music festival to see Paul McCartney. I've been a big fan of him and the Beatles since I was in kindergarten. I'd also love to check out the fashions, like these from www.style.com.

Love this unusual look


This is a picture of Sasha Pivovarova from www.styledumond.com. I like it mostly because its unusual and original. I also like to cover my thin hair with hats, scarves and wigs and this is a cute alternative. I am also a crocheter and I like the layers of white fur, crocheted vest and tweed suit. She looks very sophisticated!
