<span style="background-color: blue; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 18px;"><span style="color: cyan;">There are numerous opinions about what the staples in a woman's closet should consist of. This album is a look at what I believe are the basic fundamental items that every woman can build from!!! The pieces have direct links or can be attained directly from me. Message me for details and availability, and remember....each and every item here has been made with careful consideration of the talented artisans that make these items for you and I to enjoy.! A great note: When you are in need of something and are not sure how to find the details of the ethics involved in the making of it, 4 fail safe options are Abejas Boutique, J Crew, India Hicks, and Stella and Dot! All 4 companies go to great lengths to ensure that their products are made with the highest of standards and care and respect of the hands that make them!! In addition to that, you can ALWAYS buy vintage with a clean conscious, and Cheeky Vintage has curated one of the best collections I have ever seen!!!</span></span><br />

It's easy, it's comfortable. and it wears...and wears.....and wears!! These are the perfect travel pieces, as well as the best of the everyday essentials.

<span style="background-color: blue; color: cyan;"><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 18.76px; text-align: start;">The Design Forecast has evolved in ways that seem unimaginable, over the last decade. The original function of tdf was to provide the equipment necessary for someone to establish their own style climate, by yielding a translation of trends, alongside a blueprint for decoding style noise. tdf has provided guidance and direction to navigate this difficult course successfully, and now has added a com</span><span class="text_exposed_show" style="display: inline; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 18.76px; text-align: start;">ponent unlike anything we have done before. The need for the translation and blueprint are more important than ever before in a time of trend chaos, but beyond that, there is a greater need. A matter of life and death! The manifold endeavor of the apparel industry as a whole, to lower costs and provide high demand fashion has created a pandemic that can no longer be ignored by consumers. As a "single unit" human race, we each have a personal responsibility in the face of commerce in the 21st century, to promote ethical and social practices that benefit all humans, and ensure safety for the individuals and the system. The Design Forecast is primed to mobilize and advance the crusade of educating and informing all consumers to do their to eradicate modern day slavery in the 21st century.</span></span></div>

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Happy Halloween!!!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We are officially entering the holiday season.....</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
so of course we are starting to think.....</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
about parties,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
gatherings, </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
the perfect gifts for our loved ones, </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and of course what we will wear for all the holiday photo ops!!!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Have you ever stopped during your procurement of your bountiful booty to think about the ethical ramifications of your purchases?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
My guess is no.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
That is too much to think about!!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and even if you did, how would you ever be able to really gauge said ramifications?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Well, first of all, yes! That is a lot to think about!!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and, if you did stop to think about it you would likely begin a google search that would quickly demand a scream of frustration or a drink!!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So why in the world would I bring this to your attention now, as the holidays are upon us?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
because....I have good news!!!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I am here for you!! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
For over ten years now I have shopped for, styled, and curated for women and men. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I have helped them find their design climate,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and all this time I have been doing my homework.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We are all becoming acutely aware of the reality of human trafficking surrounding us in plain sight, but for so many the numbers are so daunting and we don't see that we can do anything to change it. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
But, we can ALL do something?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Starting with our shopping list!!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We all can make a difference!!! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I read an article about a study conducted by 2 students at The University of Bath regarding ethics and luxury items and there was one fact that stood out to me above all else....</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
‘‘Those who buy Cafe´direct may pay for the product from a wallet or purse produced by a workforce in a Third World location under conditions of extreme exploitation’’.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
(Cafe'direct was the pioneer in certified Fairtrade Coffee, bringing the first true Fairtrade coffee to the UK three years before the Fairtrade Mark was created.)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Thankfully today fairtrade coffee is right around the corner for most all of us, </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
but what about everything else?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Over the last six months I have been absorbing the facts about human-trafficking and how it is the fastest growing criminal industry across the globe, and I can tell you that a fundraiser, or even a handful of fundraisers are not enough!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We must adjust our thinking, </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and I am dedicated to helping you do just that!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I will be spotlighting some of my favorite companies that go above and beyond their ethical and social responsibility. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I will be building an ethically responsible shopping guide for everything you may need or want.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
My goal is to make it as easy for you as possible to support the companies that are protecting our society with their business integrity.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
If you absolutely love something and can not find their ethical pratices send me a msg and I will look into it for you, and possibly even share it with everyone else.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
In the meantime as the list is being built I have GREAT NEWS!!!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
J Crew is not only a leader in forward thinking fashion, but they go above and beyond in their ethical practices as well!!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>

We all know that interior design follows trends just as fashion does...and a lot of times there is quite a bit of overlap.....but for some reason trends translate a little differently inside your home than they do on any even given Tuesday on the street....</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The reason, I believe, is because when you buy that blouse that your celebrity icon was photographed wearing or you saw in a "must have for fall" article, and you wear it on that given Tuesday you may likely realize it is just not "you"...<br />
But, never fear, your fashion obsessed friend will be happy to accept the offering and take it off your hands, and maybe even trade you for one of her pressured buys...<br />
even trade and everyone is happy.....<br />
another example.... </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Gray nail polish has been a trend for a while now, and as the weather cools I will be "picking my color" in the gray tones again this season, even though I wore out "You don't know Jacques" for 2 seasons!!!<br />
Honestly I am somewhat looking forward to gray nails again this fall!!!<br />
So why are things so different in your home?</div>

Color does evoke feeling ....<br />
and when you walk in your front door at the end of a long day how do you want to feel?<br />
If your answer is...."I want to feel like it's just a normal day in Seattle," then my response to that would be.....<br />
"Don't delay!! Run out to your nearest home improvement store and grab a few gallons of Revere Pewter and one happy home body you will be!!!"</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Please don't misunderstand... I am a lover of neutrals...especially in interiors.....<br />
AND<br />
I do also love gray<br />
BUT.....<br />
Does gray make you FEEL good when you come home at the end of a long day?<br />
The first thing I ask when I enter a home for a consult with a new design project is..<br />
"What is the function of this room?"<br />
Our home is where we go to escape, to be with the ones we love the most, and to recharge for what's next....<br />
Does gray help you recharge?<br />
If so....then go back up to the previous part of this post that recommends you run out and grab some gray paint and get painting....but if not...then here is a fun suggestion...<br />
Go to the paint wall and see what colors draw out good feelings, what pulls you in, what colors make you smile?<br />
Grab a few swatches of those smile-inducing colors, take them home and see how they look in your favorite room, in natural light as well as lamp and overhead light and THEN decide....<br />
which one evokes the feeling you want to experience when you come home from a long day....<br />
BE BRAVE!!!<br />
BE DIFFERENT!!!!<br />
BE YOU!!!!<br />
AND....<br />
LOVE THE SPACE YOU CALL HOME!!!</div>

OK PEOPLE......</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The Fashion Forecast has taken a break for a while now......</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
BUT.....</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
WE ARE BACK!!!!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We have made a few changes,because it has been over a year and other than being a little older, the overall forecast of things has changed.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We are still going to be fashion focused, but we are no longer just going to focus on apparel.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We are expanding into interior design!!!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Just as you send a message out into the world everyday when you walk out your front door, your home speaks to you when you walk back in that same front door at the end of a long day.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I have thought since I was a little myself that the beauty in all things had to first be identified and then drawn out. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
That is what we are going to do here.....</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Draw out the beauty in YOUR world....</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
IN and OUT of the Closet!!!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I can't wait to take this journey with you!!!!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Let's get started!!!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

Designers take a modern twist on the traditional for spring 2014 by pairing soft pastels with vivid brights to create a colorful equilibrium. Inspired by a mixture of blooming flowers, travels abroad, and strong, confident women, designers use color to refresh, revive and defy conventional wisdom.<div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
graduation is now such a huge celebration</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
for so many milestones </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
that before only required </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
a pat on the back and a "good luck next year"</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
graduation from kindergarten</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
graduation from 1st grade</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
graduation from 5th grade</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
graduation from 6th grade</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
graduation from 8th grade</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
the list goes on and on.....</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and on.......and on......</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and then there is high school</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
college</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
grad school</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
dental school</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
law school</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
medical school</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
just listing these overwhelms me!!!!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
i have struggled with what to get an 8th grader for graduation and i think i have found a gift that would be great for any of the above occasions.....</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
i think patron saint medals are a great gift at many points in a persons life....</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and there are many saints for various specific purposes </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
so finding the perfect saint medal for your graduate can and should be fun </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and be something special they treasure for years to come....</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
i have chosen a st. christopher medal for my graduate</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
(st. christopher is one of the more popular medals.....the legend goes.....</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
"before the 1969 reform of the Roman calendar.....</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
christopher was listed as a <a href="http://www.catholic.org/encyclopedia/view.php?id=7650">martyr</a>
who died under decius...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
nothing else is known about him....</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
there are
several legends about him including the one in which he was crossing a
river when a child asked to be carried across.......</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
when christopher put the
child on his shoulders he found the child was unbelievably heavy......</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
the
child, according to the legend, was <a href="http://www.catholic.org/clife/jesus">Christ</a>
carrying the weight of the whole world.....</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
this was what made christopher
patron saint of travelers and is invoked against storms, plagues, etc..")</div>

now that mother's day has come and gone...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
those of us who are not mother's are most likely left with a feeling of jealousy for all the lovely gifts given and received by moms around us......and for some mom's maybe a feeling of i wish i would have gotten something other than the female equivalent of a neck tie....</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
so here is a thought....</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
buy yourself some diamonds!!!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
you deserve it!!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and the best news ever is that cook diamonds sells all their merchandise at wholesale prices and the price ranges start as low as $150!!!<br />
so buy yourself some diamonds girls!!!!!</div>

since
ancient times, the pearl has been a symbol of unblemished perfection.... </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
it is the oldest known gem...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and for centuries it was considered the most
valuable...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
to the ancients, pearls were a symbol of the moon
and had magical powers......</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
in classical Rome, only persons above a certain
rank were allowed to wear pearl jewelry...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
the Latin word for pearl literally
means "unique"
...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
attesting to the fact that no two pearls are identical....</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
neither are 2 moms.....</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
they are all unique and special and deserve a gift that tells them just how special they are.....</div>

so we established yesterday </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
that all that mom means to us cannot possibly be wrapped up in a nice little bow </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
but we can certainly get great points for an effort that results in some bling she can wear every day!!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
i love these pearl bracelets....</div>

buy 1 or buy them both!!</div>

Are you looking for the perfect gift for mom?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The gift that says thank you for giving me life....thank you for bringing me into this world....thank you for caring for me, loving me, instructing me, and for always being my number 1 fan!!!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Is there a gift that says that?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I feel sure there is no gift that says that but I do feel sure that diamonds come as close as you can get!!!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Well other than giving mom grandchildren of course!!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I have found a number of options that I think are affordable but make a bold statement!!!!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Today the piece I think is best to kick off the month of mom is the diamond bangle that comes in black, white gold, yellow gold, and rose gold......</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
available at Cook Diamonds and at $400 retail your cost is only $200!!!!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
~and they even take phone orders and can ship anywhere!!! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Happy Mother's Day to all!!!!</div>
