Burda halter topFriday, July 27, 2012
My first ever halterneck top. The reason why it took so long is because it would have been unthinkable before due to all the bacne. Yes I was pretty self conscious about that unfortunately. But luckily my home blended BHA/AHA treatment is still working. As you can see on the right picture there are still some spots, pigment marks and scars and I might never have entirely clear skin, but I don't really care since there has been such a big improvment.
Anyways the pattern is from May's issue of Burda magazine. Super easy to assemble and no pre-made pattern pieces, just three rectangles that you draw yourself. Inside there is clear elastic holding the bra piece firm to the chest. In hindsight I should have made the elastic snugger, but the top still holds up, obviously mostly due to the neck ties. My only quibble is the fit in the front, it accentuates the stomach and creates a little weird shape in the front. And when you look at the magazine photo it does have a poofing thing going on as well. Maybe that is why the model is doing such a pose? There are no photos of her standing straight.
I think the issue is that the top is pretty tight around the hips and loose around the stomach. If I would do it again I would either add more width/gathers or omit the gathers completely and just make the top skin tight.
I wore this top in Portugal, but only once since I was a bit freaked out about burning my bare shoulders since the sun is so strong there. I had already burned the shoulders once due to not applying a thick enough layer of sun cream at the beach. I really like the top though and would like wear it again, though here in Sweden it will probably be too cold instead!

would love to read about your acne remedy, too. The top is great. I made a top recently that had an odd belly poof too, makes me feel a little pregnant unless I tuck it in (http://thriftathome.blogspot.com/2012/06/cap-sleeve-silk-blouse.html)ReplyDelete

Product Description
a fascinating guide to being a man in the 21st century... it will make a wonderful present or simply a great guide to the confusions of modern life. (GQ ONLINE)
This simple cover, drawing on a more sophisticated and classic look, marks it as a lifestyle guide for the mature metrosexual. From details about spirits, to a comprehensive summary of the life of James Bond, this collection is sure to appeal to men of all tastes. (THE BOOKSELLER - Men's Lifestyle, top title)
Under the headline VIRILE AND PROUD OF IT, the reviewer says her "own in-house uber masculine metrosexual.... amid alarming belly laughter... is literally convulsing with admiration.... (Thomas Fink) is displeased by this marginalisation of masculinity. He wants gentlemen everywhere to stand up and take note. Ladies should be aware that it makes for an illuminating afternoon when they do." (NEW STATESMAN,)
"Bloke facts, rules and tips.... stacks of handy, ZOO-Style info: how to start a fire with a Coke can, make cocktails, build a treehouse." Three stars (ZOO MAGAZINE)
"A big celebration of the human male form, spelling out all the stereotypes that make us so unique. A must, if urinal etiquette confuses you." Three stars (NUTS MAGAZINE)
Every now and then a book comes along that makes you ask yourself: why didn't I think of that....it deserves to sell in truckloads, and it probably will. (LITERARY REVIEW)

Lets admit it guys we all aspire to be a bit like James Bond. Now this book will give you a smattering of his social knowledge. Whether that's a brief guide to beers, wines & spirits. Or even better what glass they should be drunk from. I'm looking forward to asking for the proper glass down the pub. Or what you should wear to a function. Basic dress codes & even how to tie a tie in different ways. Dying arts in our increasingly casual society, I mean have you seen those massive knots people have these days. They look absolutely ridiculous. And how many times have we read that a real lady likes a smart dressed man?
But it's not just about dress sense. There's tons of information & tips on a whole range of subjects. Public loo etiquette is hilarious; every lady should read that section. Poker explained, personally I've never understood it until now.
Great book, informative, witty & well written. As previous reviewers have said there's very little of the authors opinions. Just information in a format that makes you read it from cover to cover in no time. And go back to it again and again. Highly recommended.
It includes a description of the 120 single malt whiskies.
And every single badge available to Scouts.
And the 40 best night clubs.
And all the species of fresh and salt water fish.
And reviews of London's gentlemens clubs.
And the 30 traditional weights exercises.
And everything you need to know about conkers.
And a complete sports calendar.
To all my friends: you will be getting copies from me, so be warned!
I found the guide to night clubs in London very useful, also the guide to the different shirtmakers, the darts strategy and unusual ways of starting a fire. (Have a look at the part on Family Jewels). If you've seen the Dangerous Book for Boys, well this is a Dangerous Book for Men, but denser and more detailed. If you don't have a copy yet, you will soon.
facts and observations (but very few opinions) concisely expressed and
clearly laid out. In this sense it is more a reference book than a guide
to a particular kind of lifesyle. And the information between its covers
should be possessed by every man. If ever there was an ideal Christmas
present for husband or fathers or sons, this is it.

Two Debt Scrambles and a Google Coup
Americans are spending more cautiously now than earlier in the year, weighed down by the shaky recovery and lousy job market, endangering prospects for economic growth. Autumn will provide an important gauge of consumer health, as retailers increase prices to offset the rising cost of raw materials and wage increases in manufacturing centers such as China. Sales and profit growth have started to slump at the country's dollar stores, which boomed in the recession, as even cheap toys and other small indulgences prove a stretch for some.
The skyrocketing growth of Latinos in the U.S. is now fueled by births rather than immigration, according to a new analysis of Census Bureau data. More than 80% of U.S. population growth through 2050 will come from immigrants and their children, mainly Hispanics, one expert said.
Dozens of law-enforcement agencies are preparing to outfit their forces with facial recognition devices that attach to an iPhone and can photograph a face from five feet away and scan irises, raising questions about privacy.
The vast majority of U.S. hospitals have restricted the use of life-saving chemotherapy drugs and other critical-care medications in the past six months to cope with unprecedented shortages, according to a survey.
A backup plan to cut the federal deficit and keep the U.S. government from defaulting on debt gained momentum in quiet talks between Senate Majority Leader Reid and Republican leader McConnell. The plan, which faces high hurdles in the House, would link a package of spending cuts to a plan McConnell proposed earlier in the week that would give the president the power to raise the debt limit through 2012 in three installments, a senior Democratic aide familiar with the discussions said. It would include roughly $1 trillion in deficit reduction and probably wouldn't include any tax increases. Obama and House Speaker Boehner had announced their support for a deal to reduce future deficits by $4 trillion over the next 10 years. But Republicans, under pressure from the tea party, began pushing for a scaled-down plan of roughly $2 trillion over 10 years. Now it could be still less.
Credit rating firms moved closer to an unprecedented downgrade of the U.S. government's debt. The deteriorating talks have brought new attention to differences between House Speaker Boehner, long known as a deal-maker who can work with Democrats, and his top deputy, Majority Leader Cantor, a rising star closely attuned to the anti-tax passions of the Republican rank-and-file. Obama has said he wouldn't sign a short-term extension of the debt ceiling and called on both sides to make big concessions, including cuts in spending in Medicare, Medicaid and Social Security and an overhaul of the tax code. From the president's perspective, if you're going to take the pain for a deficit deal anyway, you ought to get some real gains (or, as the vice president would have it, "There's no point in dying on a small cross"). With an Aug. 2 deadline for a deal, he may have to settle for less.
Middle-class Americans face a big hit from whatever deficit plan is forged, since projected budget gaps can't be reduced substantially without cutting federal tax and spending programs that help the middle. There just isn't enough income to tax at the top or enough spending to cut on people at the bottom.
Top euro-zone politicians preparing for an emergency summit on the Greek debt crisis are struggling to stamp out the flames licking at Italy and Spain. Italy passed a four-year austerity budget calling for more than $56 billion in cuts. Ireland's prime minister said the bloc's failure to respond adequately to the debt crisis caused Moody's downgrade of the nation's debt to junk status. European regulators unveiled the long-awaited results of their banking "stress tests"; the small number of lenders that flunked the exams immediately provoked skepticism.
The U.S. and some 30 other countries said they would recognize Libya's opposition as the country's legitimate governing authority, opening the way for billions of dollars in frozen Libyan assets to be released to the opposition as it fights to topple Libyan leader Gadhafi. In Egypt, the interim government said it would delay parliamentary elections and fire police officers implicated in the deaths of protesters, the latest sign that the nation's youth-led activists have substantial political weight five months after the fall of President Mubarak. Syrians mounted their largest antiregime demonstrations yet.
By the Numbers
Baseball players, out of the 19 who have reached 3,000 hits in the past half century, who required more games than Derek Jeter to achieve the feat. Only Tony Gwynn (2,284 games) beat Jeter (2,362 games)on that score. Jeter is also the only player to have both homered for his 3,000th hit and gotten five hits on the day he reached 3,000.
Share of time Japan has possessed the ball in its five World Cup games. The women's soccer team faces off against the U.S. Sunday.

Months it would take, at this year's pace of job growth, to drive the jobless rate back down to 5%.
The unemployment rate was 9.2% in June and 5% in December 2007, when the recession got under way. What would it take to get it back down to 5%? Much stronger growth in jobs or a whole lot of time. Here's a back-of-the-envelope.
The unemployment rate, based on a Labor Department survey of households, is the share of the work force (people with jobs plus people seeking jobs) who are unemployed. The payroll figures are based on a separate survey of employers that doesn't include some workers, like farmhands, included in the household tally.
Assume employment in the household survey increases at the same rate as employment in the employer survey did in the first half of this year. That implies a gain of 1.2%, or about 1.6 million employed, over the next year. If we assume the labor force grows at the same pace as the census projects for the working-age population, it will increase by about 1.4 million people next year.
With employment growing just a smidge faster than the labor force, then, the unemployment rate would still be a disappointingly high 8.9% in June 2012 and wouldn't reach 5% until December 2024. Caveats on our envelope include uncertainty over how fast the population will really grow, how much of the population will want to work and when the next recession will hit.

A security aide assassinated Afghan President Karzai's younger half-brother—Ahmed Wali Karzai was southern Afghanistan's most influential power broker—and a bomb blast ripped through a historic mosque in Kandahar during a mourning ceremony, killing the city's top Islamic cleric. Meanwhile, Iraq has started negotiations to buy U.S. fighter jets and air-defense systems, a purchase Washington hopes will help counter Iranian influence and cement long-term ties as U.S. troops prepare to depart by Dec. 31.
Bombs exploded in three places in India's financial capital of Mumbai, killing 18 and injuring 133, in what authorities called "a coordinated attack by terrorists." The city's fourth such attack in the past decade evoked a three-day militant siege in 2008 that left more than 160 dead.
News Corp.'s Rebekah Brooks and Les Hinton resigned amid the phone-hacking allegations roiling the media empire. Brooks was head of the company's U.K. newspaper unit, and Hinton, who headed the News International unit when the allegations first arose, was chief executive officer of Dow Jones & Co. Reporters at the company's British tabloid News of the World, which News Corp. closed last week, are alleged to have illegally intercepted mobile-phone voice mails and bribed police. Brooks will testify at a special parliamentary committee hearing next week, alongside News Corp. Chairman and CEO Rupert Murdoch and Deputy Chief Operating Officer James Murdoch. News Corp., which owns The Wall Street Journal, earlier dropped its bid to take full control of British Sky Broadcasting Group hours before a vote in which U.K. Prime Minister Cameron's Conservative Party lined up to support a motion by the opposition urging the company to abandon the deal.
BHP Billiton plans to acquire Petrohawk Energy for more than $12 billion, giving the Anglo-Australian mining company access to large shale assets in Texas and Louisiana in one of the largest deals of the year. The deal marks an important strategic step for BHP, which last year was rebuffed in a highly politicized $38.6 billion bid for Canada's Potash. One of the largest global mining companies, BHP has been eager to spend its war chest to diversify from minerals and mining into oil and natural gas. In the U.S., oil giant ConocoPhillips's decision to split its refining and production arms into two publicly traded companies makes it the largest energy producer so far to reject the once-dominant view in the industry that bigger is better. And chemicals conglomerate Sinochem is in advanced discussions with Monsanto to deepen their ties significantly, an important sign of China's growing appetite for U.S. crops and biotechnology.
Google posted a 36% jump in quarterly profit and a 32% jump in revenue, sending its shares surging and wresting back the attention of investors who lately have doted on newer Internet darlings. The growth was driven by Google's core search-engine advertising. Chief Executive Page said the company's new social network, Google+, had more than 10 million users after two weeks as an invite-only service. Meanwhile, Amazon plans to release a tablet computer by October, intensifying its rivalry with Apple's iPad. In telecom, Verizon Communications is seeking some of the biggest concessions in years from its unions, stepping up pressure on organized labor as the industry shifts to less labor-intensive wireless technology. And in media, Oprah Winfrey is poised to become chief executive and chief creative officer of her cable channel, OWN: the Oprah Winfrey Network, starting in the fall. OWN has gone through several management shake-ups and suffered mediocre ratings.
J.P. Morgan Chase raised the bar for banking rivals as its quarterly profits and revenue soared on the strength of its investment bank. Kicking off the sector's second-quarter reporting season, J.P. Morgan said profit rose 13% to $5.4 billion and revenue 7% to $27.4 billion, both beating expectations. Mortgage problems were a weakness amid mounting legal costs and more requests to repurchase soured mortgage-backed securities. The banks' results, considered a bellwether for the industry, show that big U.S. banks can find a way to boost revenue despite sluggish loan demand, ballooning mortgage costs and rising regulatory expenses.
Stocks had a volatile week, as concerns flared about the U.S. deficit and euro-zone debt. While the Dow Industrials rose on Friday, they fell 177.47 points, or 1.4%, for the week to 12479.73. The market's rise on Wednesday, when Fed Chairman Bernanke raised hopes for economic stimulus, was quickly wiped out when he backpedaled the next day. For the week, the 10-year Treasury note rose, with the yield ending at 2.910%, and gold for July delivery rose $48.60, or 3.2%, to a record of $1589.80 a troy ounce on Friday.

Two friends and I just returned from here yesterday and had such an AMAZING time! The condo was perfect - Point Pleasant is a wonderful location, slightly off the beaten path with the most down to earth, fun staff and beautiful scenery. We attended a wedding at the Marriott Frenchman's Reef, which is referred to as one of the nicest hotels on the island, but we were so glad we stayed here instead. The condo was so much nicer than staying in a hotel room, we felt we were truly guests of the owners and were really taken care of. They are very thoughtful with the amenities that are provided and do have a beautiful place. We would most definitely stay again. If you stay here though you simply MUST book a day sail on the Morningstar - just go down to Fungi's and book it at We Be Jammin' - you will not regret it!
Happy Travels!
We stayed for an entire week with 2 teenagers. Pull out sofa bed was fine for them. Bed very comfortable. Blowup mattress,we were unsure of how it worked as there were no directions. Grill was missing from our balcony but this was the property managers job to discover before we got there (so we cooked steaks on the stove). Water will go away for several hours in the morning as well. We didn't mind these things as Jean-Pierre was AWESOME from start to finish.
We loved everything and look forward to coming back as just a couple. Thank you so much.
Atlanta,GA, USA
My wife and I just completed a 25 day stay here. It was fantastic! Everything we needed was available to us. The views and breezes were fabulous. We would definitely return!
My Fiance and I stayed at the condo for a week. We had the time of our lives visiting the island! The condo was clean and comfortable. Although we did not use the items in the condo it appeared well stocked with pots, beach chairs, snorkel gear, cooler, etc. I can't imagine having a better experience staying at a hotel on the island we would definitely stay here again!
My friend and I rented this condo for a week vacation and we could not have had a better experience. The condo was a perfect size, comfortable and stocked with tons of information about the island. The view from the balcony was beyond beautiful and the three pools and tiny private beach area were very clean and perfect for relaxing all day in the sun! We ate lunch one day at Jack's restaurant, right on the water, and the food was great and the view was even better. We could have spent all day just pool hopping and exploring in Point Pleasant itself. It was very easy to walk across the beach over to Coki Beach, just across the bay, as well as catch a $1 safari cab into Redhook. I would definitely love to return here as the owners really do a nice job of making sure their renters are equipped with all of their vacation needs! We were honestly sad to leave!
We stayed here for 8 nights in January. The condo was just great. It is nice and clean, very well decorated, and fully equipped. The view from the condo is fantastic!! They provided everything we needed for the beach. We had dinner at the condo one evening when we cooked steaks and shrimps on the BBQ. It was just great to have dinner at the condo, with some fine wine. We loved the resort, the 3 pools were nice and clean. The lower pool and the middle pool offer fantastic views. The resort is close to Red Hook where we did our groceries. We also went to dinner a few evenings in the various restaurants over there. The Beaches in St-Thomas are just beautiful, the water is turquoise and calm. We also went to St-John. Trunk Bay was one of the highlights of our trip. We definitely recommend this condo and we will return soon. The owner is very nice and helpful and so his their Manager in St-Thomas. Thank you for letting us stay at your place, Lisa.
