    • ain Street in Vancouver.in ivory organza embroidered with oversized gold irises (my favourite flower).It has a tiny little waist so I knew it would never fit me [url=http://www.bridalfavorite.com/cocktail-dresses-38-1.html]http://www.bridalfavorite.com/cocktail-dresses-38-1.html[/url] , but I bought it anyhow because I hoped one day I would have a teenage daughter to give it to.I have had it hung on my bedroom wall like art ever since.When I look at it I dream of my daughter Violet (now two years old) wearing it as a young woman on a special night.I’ve also got a shocking pink and black faux fur bomber jacket that I am saving for her.It’s a quirky Todd Oldham piece that looks like it came straight out of the wardrobe truck from the film Clueless.It’s truly a bit mad but that brand was so iconic when I was first coming into my own with fashion that I could never bear to part with it.Joyce GunhouseCo-designer of Comrags, and daughter Sally, 15For me, I’ve always had a collection of little vintage house dresses.And just recently Sally started wearing one of my favourites.There’s some history here.Or I wonder who wore this dress, what their life was like.my friends just the kind of music I was listening to at the time.She’s 15, so it’s really hard for me, that love of the ’80s that’s been revived.Why are you wearing acid wash?But then just the other day she went to a party and she wanted to wear a dress, and when she described the dress she wanted it was very similar to one we had done in the ’80s, so I used an old pattern of ours, adjusted it a little bit, and she wore new vintage Comrags.was a silk floral shirtdress that was her honeymoon dress.And it just really has that feeling of tradition, it was custom-made for her at Hudson’s Bay, and it’s just a really beautiful dress.I don’t think it’s necessarily her style that I’ve picked up.I’m way more relaxed, way more grungy, I guess.Judy CornishCo-designer of Comrags, and daughter Georgia, 22My mother used to sew all the time, and in the ’60s she would make my sister and I dresses to match her dress.But our dresses always had waists on them, and hers always had a seam under the bust.I’ve given my daughter two pieces recently that I used to wear all the time [url=http://www.bridalfavorite.com/evening-dresses-37-1.html]http://www.bridalfavorite.com/evening-dresses-37-1.html[/url] , that I wore practically to death, and she’s started wearing them now because they’re both so great on her.One is an old Dries Van Noten dress from one of his very first collections when he was just starting out, and it’s a long black floor-length sleeveless dress with a big slit in the back.And I did save it for Georgia from the time I realized she was going to really like it.The other thing that she wears now that I just recently gave to her is an old Zapata dress.They were big Canadian designers in the ’80s.It’s a black sheer georgette dress with a rubberized floral print on it, and it looks totally modern and totally current.So both of those things are what she wears now of mine.My mom always made us versions of what she was wearing.And so for me I grew up never really needing to covet anything of my mother’s because I had it all.She was the one that taught me to sew.We always had the same dresses, same fabric, same silhouette.We all dressed alike.It was me and my sister and mom, all looking the same.Diane BaldDesign director, RootsMy most coveted items are one from my mother.In particular, my George Jensen ring, circa 1950, which my father gave to her and she wore her whole life.I will pass that on to my daughter.s Kelly bag from 1952 that she gave me.It’s a little beat up but that’s how I like it.they might go to the kids if they were interested.But the truth is that I just ended up giving to a second-hand store to sell virtually all my old good Saint-Laurent pieces, and stuff I’d really been hoarding for years.I just realized, as much as you can love these things and hope your kids will love them, the truth is that the way of fashion, technology changes.And probably one of the biggest changes in technology we’ve seen with fashion has been fabric.And the old fabrics, many of them were lovely but they just don’t work with today’s lifestyle as well.The things I think I will keep and pass to the kids are my coats.I love coats; I never seem to want to get rid of them.I always think there’s another opportunity somewhere, maybe because I like colour, but I also think that coats have personality, and they can just be the top layer to something.So even if what’s underneath isn’t wonderful [url=http://www.bridalfavorite.com/long-prom-dresses-36-1.html]http://www.bridalfavorite.com/long-prom-dresses-36-1.html[/url] , if you’ve got this great coat on top, it can work.I think I’ve amassed probably more than I should, and it’s not that any of them are so over-the-top fantastic, but they’re all unique, and they all hold a special place for me.My girls are both very tall, and as a result they can carry the more exaggerated shapes that perhaps have gone through the years.a very black phase because it just works, and it’s a good backdrop.So she gets creative with her black, which is fun.It’s great for me, because when I pass on stuff it’s usually got some colour to it, so it can add that little extra punch into something.The other things I’ll keep for the kids for sure are the great pieces of costume jewellery I’ve amassed over the years.I inherited some from my mother and grandmother and have loved it.And I think it’s just wonderful that you wear them differently from how your grandmother or your mother wore them.But it’s always special because when you’re wearing them you’re wearing a piece of them.So hopefully the girls will feel the same way when I pass stuff like that on to them.Sisters Natalie and Celene GeeGee Beauty, on mother MiriamBecause we grew up so close in age, we always were in our mother’s closet at the same time!When we were little girls, it was always our mother’s lipstick and jewellery that we played dress-up with!a classic ’80s beauty look, obviously!But now, we go into her closet for her great jackets, her scarves and her inspiration.Celene loves my mother’s vintage Chanel tweed black and white jacket.And I love her leopard scarves.Always sophisticated and sexy.we tend to share most of my closet almost all the time.Many times .

    • ing more than 12 deep.In the build-up there’d been rumours of violent protests: lumps of coal [url=http://www.mermaid-bride.com/new-years-eve-dresses-56-1.html]http://www.mermaid-bride.com/new-years-eve-dresses-56-1.html[/url] , symbolising the fury of the miners, would be thrown at her coffin.In the event, roses were the only things thrown.Some estimates put the number of people on the streets at 100,000.A low figure, perhaps, if compared with a major royal occasion; the wedding of the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge is thought to have attracted a million.But this was for a prime minister, and on a working day.On the pavements of the Strand, outside St Clement Danes the church of the RAF there was barely room to breathe.before the hearse was due to arrive.Men climbed railings to see above the massed heads.Children clambered on to the bench of the bus shelter.Office balconies thronged.People shifted restlessly, desperate for a view.As the coffin was borne down the steps into the light of the day, the crowds outside gave three cheers.Like the applause that had followed the coffin on its journey to St Paul’s, the cheers were spontaneous.Many people wore suits or dark dress; some were in bowler hats and tweed.One man had brought his pet Chihuahua, Cindy; even it was in black, clad in a tiny coat with Good night inscribed across it.All along the barriers and around the church stood police; hundreds of police.On first glance an intimidating sight, but the effect was somehow softened by the fact that every one of them was wearing spotless white gloves, like magicians’.In front of the church loomed the statue of Sir Arthur Bomber Harris, the chief of RAF Bomber Command in the Second World War.Glaring sternly, hands folded behind his back, he seemed to be wearing a look that said anyone intent on violence would have him to answer to.The hearse arrived to applause.Then, as the coffin was carried into the church by the bearer party, there rose a sea of arms, as each mourner struggled to establish a clear view for his or her camera phone.While the service was under way inside, the crowds stood silent.A breeze ruffled hair.Raindrops dabbed cheeks.Then there sounded the dolorous clang of the bell.The coffin was carried out of the church and placed on the gun carriage.And, as the procession began to the pound, pound, pound of a cloth-muffled drum there was applause once more.I glanced at the elderly woman standing alongside me.Her face was a mask of tears.After the procession had moved on, many people stayed where they were, reflecting on what they’d seen.It was wonderful, said Richard Barnes, 69, a retired farmer.From all the stories this week you’d have thought there’d be twice as many protesters as supporters, but it’s been nothing like it.placard across the road, and that’s it.He’d have seen more protesters further along the route but not many.Some turned their backs on the procession.Some brandished placards, attacking the cost of the funeral.Some waved milk bottles, as a reminder of the old taunt, Maggie Thatcher, milk snatcher .Some shouted: Maggie [url=http://www.mermaid-bride.com/casual-dresses-58-1.html]http://www.mermaid-bride.com/casual-dresses-58-1.html[/url] , Maggie, Maggie, dead, dead, dead.A few, bizarrely, squabbled with each other ( You’ve ruined this protest!Lady Thatcher’s enemies, fighting among themselves: it was like the 1980s all over again.For each and every minute of the journey from St Clement Danes, a gun salute was fired.At last the procession came to a halt at St Paul’s.At 11am sharp, the 2,000 guests inside the cathedral, including the Queen, the Prime Minister, and Lady Thatcher’s children, Sir Mark and Carol Thatcher, rose as one.Lady Thatcher’s grandchildren, Michael, 24, and Amanda, 19, walked ahead of the coffin.Following the first hymn, He Who Would Valiant Be, Amanda Thatcher gave a reading, from Ephesians 6 10-18.How young she looked up there, tiny and alone.To begin with, her voice cracked and quavered, but she did not let the occasion, or the emotion, overcome her.Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the Devil, she read, voice strengthening with every line.Her words echoed through the huge, booming silence.The second reading came from David Cameron, John 14 1-6 ( I am the way, the truth and the life ).He read steadily and solemnly.His wife Samantha, wearing a pussy-bow blouse in tribute to Lady Thatcher [url=http://www.mermaid-bride.com/sexy-dresses-60-1.html]http://www.mermaid-bride.com/sexy-dresses-60-1.html[/url] , watched him from the pews.The address was given by The Bishop of London, the Rt Rev Richard Chartres.It was well judged, well written, well spoken.After the storm of a life lived in the heat of political controversy, he said, there is a great calm.The storm of conflicting opinions centres on the Mrs Thatcher who became a symbolic figure, even an ’ism’.Today the remains of the real Margaret Hilda Thatcher are here at her funeral service.Lying here, she is one of us.The television camera cut to George Osborne, the Chancellor.Down his cheeks, tears glistened.Out in Ludgate Hill, while all this was going on, a small group of the most dedicated admirers gathered around a portable radio.Clutching printed copies of the order of service, they sang along to every hymn.After the prayers, the choir in St Paul’s sang In Paradisum, from the Requiem Mass by Gabriel Faure; then the congregation joined them for the patriotic hymn I Vow to Thee, My Country.The Archbishop of Canterbury, Justin Welby, gave the blessing.Support us, O Lord, all the day long of this troublous life, he intoned, until the shadows lengthen and the evening comes, the busy world is hushed, the fever of life is over and our work is done.lodging, a holy rest, and peace at the last.Finally, as the Queen looked on, the coffin was carried out of the cathedral by the bearer party.Then, something remarkable.As much as appreciation, they may have been an expression of relief; relief that a day that had been threatened by protest and violence had instead passed with dignity.A respectful procession followed by a moving service.No hysteria, no hyperbole.Of course there had been pomp and pageantry: the uniforms, the military bands, the towering grandeur of St Paul’s.But in its own way the occasion was understated or as cl.

she used mink stoles and satin wraps as vampy props later on, both onscreen and off.the infamous clingy rhinestone-studded nude slip.There are other studio costumers in the mix, too, such as Orry-Kelly, Dorothy Jeakins and William Travilla.The Seven Year Itch immortalized thanks to a well-placed subway grate.As much as the slinking in white mink or the rustle of a taffeta gown tied in a girlish pink bow, the images of Monroe in casual tomboy style are memorable: her demure sweater-girl poses between takes while filming River of No Return in Banff; frolicking on the chilly Santa Monica beach swaddled in a bulky Mexican cardigan; the oversized Aran she wore to sing in Let’s Make Love.Lawrence Schiller s new photographic memoir, captures some of these later, poignant and often unguarded images behind the scenes on set, as Monroe s makeup artist fluffs her coif or she gleefully celebrates her last birthday, wearing an au courant Op Art patterned Jax outfit.the wardrobe was just window dressing.Sometimes people are embarrassed to talk about their situation if they feel their partner is better off than they are.So keep the lines of communication open, don’t be judgmental and seek advice from a neutral third party.If one person is bringing in debt, talk about whether you’re willing to take that on, or whether it’s better to wait to get married until after that debt is paid.most couples still opt for completely joined accounts, but there’s no method that necessarily leads to a more successful marriage, as long as you keep talking.So communicate, have those meetings about money on a regular basis to make sure what you’re doing is working, and if not, maybe you need to try a different route.There are flexible ways of approaching finances that provide individuals with more freedom.I’ve seen single accounts work.That way you can still surprise your spouse with a present or make impulse buys the other person may not approve of, she adds.Joint works best when one person takes on the money manager role and both are good communicators and have the same views about priorities.The next most popular option is havin.

    • who had given up their careers so that their other halves could take foreign assignments [url=http://www.freetbdress.com/mermaid-wedding-dresses-29-1.html]lace wedding dresses[/url] , and when, on admiring the Mulberry handbag of one of my husband’s colleague’s, she admitted it was a bonus present.Surprised and intrigued, I asked her to tell me more.She went on to explain that most of her extensive Mulberry collection had only been possible because of the wife bonus she received.I can’t pretend I wasn’t a little shocked.The concept of a gift for being a good little wife seemed to assault all my feminist senses, implying a certain level of sinister financial control.My husband and I had always played a fair game when it came to splitting our finances, having a joint bank account that covered our family everyday needs.Admittedly, I had never felt entirely comfortable at withdrawing money from the account for anything self-indulgent as I had done when I was earning my own money, but it hadn’t been something that had preoccupied me.But the more I heard about the wife bonus , the more it seemed to make sense.As the supports to our husbands, often having to play second fiddle to their careers, putting our own aspirations on the back burner, why shouldn’t we share the spoils, especially come bonus time?But, if I really wanted my husband to reward me for the support I’d given him and the sacrifice I’d made, I decided it should go beyond him handing me a small envelope with a patronising wink, telling me to buy myself something pretty.Instead, it should be a cash settlement, just as I would get if I were an actual employee.If anything, by insisting that my time was just as valuable as my husband’s and by paying me a bonus, my husband could demonstrate in a pecuniary fashion that staying at home with a child is just as important a role as going out to work, and that running a home is a job in itself.Surely these are arguments that true feminists have been making for years?While many men might have scoffed at such a suggestion, my husband was surprisingly amenable.He agreed that he wouldn’t be able to go out and do his job if I didn’t stay at home and do mine.I have taken the primary role in caring for our daughter [url=http://www.mydiydress.com/a-line-evening-dresses-28-1.html]evening gowns for women[/url] , not to mention the cooking, cleaning and everything else that staying on top of things at home entails.He works long hours in a stressful environment, and is often away.RelatedDear Prudence: My future mother-in-law wants to wear her wedding dress at my nuptialsDear Prudence: Help!starting when he was 16Obviously we could share the load, but having worked long hours myself, I know the last thing you want to do when you get home late from work is laundry.So we sat down and negotiated an agreement.If the company that my husband works for has had a good year and compensated him accordingly, he would pass the benefit down to me.While the bulk of his bonus should be put aside for serious things such as school fees or a future property, we also agreed that, after tax, we each take 20 per cent of his bonus, ensuring that we both have an opportunity to reward ourselves for a year of hard work.I prefer to keep the precise amount private, but it is certainly enough to be able to treat myself.As in most situations, there are always extremes.We don’t have a prenuptial agreement, and there’s nothing in writing outlining tasks I have to perform.The closest I’ve come to not receiving a wife bonus was the time he told me once to manage my expectations because the company hadn’t had such a good year.Ultimately, we see ourselves as a joint venture, and this is just an extension of that.We have since moved from Australia to Copenhagen, and although I’m far from ashamed of the arrangement we have, it’s not something I’ve chosen to share with people until now.I wouldn’t boast about a bonus I received at work, and this is no different.But since the idea of a wife bonus has been discussed so widely, I thought it was important to show how it extends beyond the wives of Park Avenue.I’ve been disappointed by the condemnation I’ve received from other women, who feel that I’m betraying the feminist causeHowever, I’ve been disappointed by the condemnation I’ve received from other women, who feel that I’m betraying the feminist cause.Grown women asked me seriously [url=http://www.mydiydress.com/a-line-evening-dresses-28-1.html]a-line evening gowns[/url] , nodding and winking lewdly like naughty little schoolboys, whether there was anything that I had to do to secure my bonus, the assumption being that the sacrifices a stay-at-home mum makes daily for monetary compensation is on the level of prostitution.which perhaps should now be known as partnership premium the bonus is in no way linked to how I’ve performed in the bedroom or anywhere else.To my mind, the role of a stay-at-home mum who has chosen to leave the workplace to care for her child is an entirely different debate, which merits its own discussion.By not working, I’m financially dependent on my husband, regardless of whether I accept a wife bonus.If anything, by receiving a bonus, I am finally being recognized as my husband’s true equal.TORONTO Saks Fifth Avenue hasn’t come to Canada yet, but at its future setting inside Hudson’s Bay Co.s storied Toronto flagship building on Queen Street, signs of its arrival later this year are abundant.On a recent weekday, customers and staff at makeup kiosks murmured about the luxury retailer while they rouged their cheeks beside floor-to-ceiling plastic sheeting that bisected the first floor, where the Bay and Saks will divide into two separate stores connected by interior entrances.It’s the kind of buzz that excites Liz Rodbell, president of Hudson’s Bay department store group, as she details the historic 750,000 square-foot store’s extensive summer revamp.well before rival Nordstrom opens in the space a block north in the fall of 2016.The main entrance will open to a shared lobby, where customers can enter either Hudson’s Bay to the left or Saks to the right.The

    • Wolf Hall and Bring Up The Bodies [url=http://www.bridesmaiddress2016.com/flower-girl-dresses-51-1.html]flower girls dresses[/url] , described the Duchess of Cambridge as a shop-window mannequin, with no personality of her own, entirely defined by what she wore.She later said the comments were taken out of context to create an outrage where none existed, and in fact her speech urged reporters not to do to Kate what they did to Diana.Those comments were also delivered at a London museum, in Ms.Mantel s case the British Museum.In both cases, the comments were directly on topic, though both have been described as cranky outbursts.Atwood s comments came after a talk at the Victoria Albert Museum, which coincided with an exhibit on the clothing of the late designer Alexander McQueen.She was being interviewed on the theme of clothing in literature, and the history of clothing and related laws, especially clothing people do not choose to wear, such as prison uniforms.She illustrated it with a slide show of photos taken throughout her life, often in clothing she made herself, as an avid dressmaker, such as one long winter coat from 1970 that she said was typically worn with a mini skirt and high boots.Atwood also revealed she cannot type without looking, which relates to her interest in dressmaking because she chose home economics over secretarial sciences early in

I have something that resembles a career; I’m independent and adamantly feminist.I have spent the last few years of my live-in relationship proving that I would make, at best, a disappointing wife.Were I to marry, I’d be way more Mrs.Rochester than Jane Eyre; I would burn that house down.And yet I still know, still maybe even sometimes think about, what I’d want my dress, my shoes, my ring to look like.I can see that marriage is a fundamentally flawed institution, on levels biological and societal, too; that it was always destined to fail.But, like Madeline Hanna in the new-ish but funnily old-fashioned Jeffrey Eugenides book The Wedding Plot, I can’t so easily give up on wedding-day dreams.I don’t particularly love this about myself.My straight, single, under-30 friends are, to a woman, smart and ambitious and work-first and modern.I did not think I’d have to ask 29 of them before I found one who said she’d truly rather propose than be proposed to this holiday, say, or any other time of the year.as long it’s gluten-free.My friend Katherine has the man, the baby and the two-storey house, but no certificate, which is all rather more because she’s practical than ’cause she’s much bothered about marriage as the site of patriarchal reproduction.But she did say she’d pop the question [url=http://www.mermaid-bride.com/under-100-bridesmaid-dresses-22-1.html]http://www.mermaid-bride.com/under-100-bridesmaid-dresses-22-1.html[/url] , and why?Men deserve to be swept away, too.Engagement rings lately come in all colours: There are the monarchical sapphires, the emeralds of Wallis Simpson lore and Joan Didion novels, the pink diamonds worn by unembarrassed rich girls Mariah Carey and Anna Kournikova and their ilk.They’re shaded, too, by various sentiments.They’re not always about love.They’re not always, in the end, about marriage.But they are always, for better and for worse, about desire.Cultural Lessons of 2011: How Alexander McQueen: Savage Beauty made the case that Twitter is fashion-forwardAs a new calendar year approaches, our writers reflect on what they learned from pop culture over the past 12 months.Today, Nathalie Atkinson on the fashionable world of Twitter.If you tweet it, they will come.And they did, in droves, to the Costume Institute’s posthumous Alexander McQueen exhibition.Bloggers extolled, newspapers raved and the Met harnessed their Klout with a few hundred thousand Twitter followers who hashtag-gushed #savagebeauty.visitors at final count, nearly 100,000 more than the Costume Institute’s last record-breaker (the Superheroes: Fashion Fantasy exhibit of 2008) and the eighth most popular show at the Met, fashion or otherwise.RelatedIt’s impossible being green: From Hornet to Lantern, heroes of this hue lost the battle in 2011The museum opened on Mondays.It stayed open until midnight.And by the time the exhibition closed in August after a scant three months on view, the accompanying Alexander McQueen: Savage Beauty catalogue distributed by Yale University Press had sold more than 100,000 copies.The hefty hardcover, with a lenticular cover that morphs McQueen’s face into a macabre human skull (his frequent signature motif) is lavishly photographed [url=http://www.mermaid-bride.com/purple-bridesmaid-dresses-24-1.html]http://www.mermaid-bride.com/purple-bridesmaid-dresses-24-1.html[/url] , but cannot capture the eerie grandeur and solemn beauty of standing in front of the museum s scuffed mannequins modelling McQueen masterpieces.The Costume Institute’s next exhibition is a pairing of Elsa Schiaparelli with Miuccia Prada and was only decided in September.explained Harold Koda when we sat down last month before his talk inaugurating the Founders Lecture series at the Bata Shoe Museum in Toronto.It s very much about Zeitgeist.and I are constantly batting around.Koda has been the curator in charge of the Costume Institute at the Metropolitan Museum of Art since 2000, and if there is any event of comparison, he explained, it’s Gianni Versace; the Costume Institute mounted the Versace show in December 1997, just months after the designer was murdered.which is, the concern of a curator is that there is going to be somehow a dispersal, or a shut-down of access to the archive.Because that has happened in the past.It also didn t hurt that McQueen s head designer Sarah Burton was revealed as the designer of Kate Middleton’s wedding dress on the eve of the exhibition’s opening.it s expensive to have a company archive and maintain and staff it.the theoretical layperson who might wander into the gallery.The Costume Institute is part of an important historical art museum and not, after all, the specifically focused, more academic Museum at the Fashion Institute of Technology.Koda disagreed with my suggestion, however, that luring visitors was about the exhibition as entertainment.he added by way of example.It s a different thing.what we re trying to do is create enough curiosity about something that people know nothing about, and still want to come.sometimes it s expanding it, skewing it younger or skewing it to more men for a change or skewing it to people who are interested in contemporary art, or people who are much more historically minded.Every exhibition has its nuance.But we always think about, Who is the potential audience?as we re formulating these ideas.it s that we ital like unital to break our own records.It becomes about how you can convey your ideas to the most people.you didn t have to read a label.Even a person who knows nothing about fashion thought they were in the presence of something that was exceptional.Newt Gingrich s gay half-sister, Candace Gingrich-Jones, backing Barack ObamaThe gay half-sister of Republican presidential candidate Newt Gingrich slammed his position on gay rights on Wednesday and said she will support President Barack Obama, a Democrat, in the 2012 election.but disagree on gay rights.Gingrich-Jon.

    • You're only restricted to your own capability to think outside the actual box. If youre goal has been the "most effective damage absorber around" after that maybe you'll become all pissed you need to trash your GuarFi once the pala comes from it plays better for the reason that regard. If you are looking at playing a class that you simply enjoy, then you'll likely wonder what everybody else is crying regarding. This isn't amazing. There aren't heal checks built-in, damage checks built-in, etc just with regard to no other reason than to ensure ppl are riding about the rails some devs decided were the required set of classes Necessary for completion of content material. Fine for amazing... good for amazing. Its managed to string A lot of ppl along via intentionally dragged out content for a long time now. Look close to, plenty of games happen to be doing it different for a long period, though.

      As we all know that PVP is going to be available in Neverwinter, however it wasn’t implemented within the Beta so I couldn’t test drive it yet. The developers have stated they wanted to finish all of those other game before they begin with PVP, and which makes me feel such as PVP isn’t extremely important to them. Personally personally, that’s no problem because I pull at PVP. The same, if you wish to release PVP, make certain it’s good. Don’t release PVP if it’s likely to suck anyway. You may just leave this out then simply because it’s only likely to be bad publicity for the game.zfth36bh
