Bebaroque Tights

Aren't these the coolest tights you've ever seen? Thanks to Susie at the Style Bubble blog for posting about these great tights. Although it is an English company, I believe that Americans can buy these at mytights.com. Prices are steep though, between $40-$80. According to Susie Bubble, they are long lasting.

John Galliano fantasy dresses

These are dresses from Christian Dior's spring 2009 collection. They were designed by John Galliano, with 17th century Dutch painters serving as the inspiration. Although I would have no place to wear this type of dress, I can appreciate the fact that Galliano believes that we all need some fantasy to escape from bad economic news. I totally agree. Here in Ohio it's cold and gloomy and I'm finding myself looking for fun things to do to keep my spirits up. Escaping into the world of art and design is the best drug for me.

Dance away those winter blues!

I've decided to try learning to belly dance while I'm stuck inside the house on these snowy days. I ordered an instructional DVD online at dancingrahana.com, and bought a Simplicity pattern at Walmart in order to make my own costume. I've dated a guy from the middle east for several years now, and I thought it might be fun to perform for him as well! The costumes are really beautiful and sexy. Maybe I want to learn the dances as an excuse to wear the costumes! I was inspired to do all of this after watching an old movie from India called Kama Sutra, which was a sexy movie targeted to a female audience. I would highly recommend it!

Jason Wu designed Michelle Obama's gown

I never noticed this designer, but I'm sure he's getting more attention now that Michelle Obama chose to wear his gown for the inaugural balls. I think that she made a pretty good choice. I also looked on style.com and found some dresses from his spring 2009 ready to wear collection. I love the pretty colors and feminine shapes.

I like Athleta clothes!

I got a catalog for this company in the mail a few days ago. Even though I've never heard of them before, I would like to order almost everything! I really love the flowery designs. They are meant for atheletic women who want more stylish clothing. I'm not really a great athlete, but I do tend to stay pretty active. These clothes also make me feel anxious for warm weather to come! Unfortunately, its like zero degrees today in Ohio, so it seems like it might be a long time before I can wear this kind of thing.

Emanuel Ungaro pre-fall 2009 is my kind of style

I really like this guys style. The casual suits with the colorful graphic designs are similar to what I like to wear to work. All the shapes are great and somewhat unexpected.
