Give Support: For Japan With Love

On March 18th 2011, I joined my fellow bloggers in a day of silence dedicated to supporting and thinking about the disaster that recently affected the lives of so many in Japan. From now until March 31st, please visit the donation site which directly impacts the Japanese relief efforts. Your donation goes towards emergency shelter and lifesaving supplies! Thank you!

The website for your donation is called First Giving

You can also donate to the American Red Cross

Links We Love – Blog Catalog!

With the rise in popularity of blogs these days I figured it would be useful to provide you with a resource for cataloging your blog interests. You can search by interest topic and add the RSS Feed of whatever blogs you like!

Since I love jewelry and fashion, I subscribed to this one: Blog Catalog- Women and Beauty

Celebrity Trend Watch

Celebrities often have large budgets and stylists who assist with their public looks. Certain celebrities catch my attention as having a truly unique style that they seem to craft on their own. I consider Rachel Bilson, Halle Berry, and Sarah Jessica Parker to be at the top of that list. Each of these women has a very unique style to their everyday look that makes them interesting and people to watch for inspiration. Rachel is very Californian bohemian, Halle is laid back chic and Sarah Jessica Parker is daytime couture.  I like to share these fun blogs about fashion and accessories with readers and encourage any feedback you want to provide on them!

I stumbled up this great site that compiles trend reports and also does designer spotlights. If you’ve ever wondered who is wearing what, you should check this out.

How Do You Get Ready For Fall?

Fall Trends

As the leaves change and the weather gets cooler, it makes sense to bring out fall clothing. As season’s change, so do the clothing and accessories we pull out of the closet. This is a useful way to use what you already have, while subsidizing your wardrobe with a few new pieces. The Fall trends I have noticed include classic ankle boots, knee high socks with heels, chunky sweaters, and layering camel, magenta, browns and forest green clothing. Plus, classic jewelry items like statement necklaces, pearls and multiple bangles are a big trend.  I like to compare what is considered up and coming in the United States versus other countries, so have been following a couple blogs about the fashion industry. One is written by a French fashion blogger, with an enthusiastic talent for photography and current styles. The other is written by a New York magazine fashion writer and designer who focuses on decor and clothing. This blog has a lot of great ideas and inspiration for making your home and closet - unique! If you are interested in these topics, you should definitely visit their sites.
