Coffee is good fuel.
Although I never drink it. I've never acquired the taste. I do drink iced tea, though, no matter what time of year it is.
This sketch, of a patron who may have had one frozen latte too many, was done on site at a particularly famous corporate coffee shop.

"Vortex Tour"
"Vortex Tour", acrylic on canvas, 30 by 24 inches.
This painting, it subject inspired by a trip to Sedona, AZ, will soon be on its way to its new home in Austin, TX. The new owners are practitioners of Tai Chi. Very "TexZen" they said. That would have been a good title, too.

James Cornelius July 3, 1937 - October 6, 2011
I usually use this space to talk about my professional life, although once in a while I'll veer off into a personal story. This is going to be one of those times.
I have two brothers, Derrell and James, who were teenagers when I was born. James died October 6 at the age of 74. The reason I mention this here is because James was, with the possible exception of my mother, my most enduring and enthusiastic cheerleader and loyal supporter. From the time I was aware of anything he encouraged and enjoyed my drawings, no matter how wild they were. Whenever I needed help, of any kind, or advice or compassion, or occasional kick in the ass, he would provide it without hesitation. Any suggestions he made, even bad ones, were intended to help me and to make me more successful. He never offered criticism uninvited.
I can't really list all the ways he changed and affected my own life for the better. That would require a book. My parents were lovely and well meaning people, but their interests, or at least my dad's, didn't go much beyond the farm I grew up on, or the small town environment they made their home. My brothers expanded my childhood horizons and introduced me to things and places I wouldn't have experienced until much later, if at all. Whatever I am today that's good, James was a big part of making that possible.
It's a cliche to say someone "loved life", but if such a description applies to anybody, James is the one. Although that life handed him some difficulties which were understandably disillusioning, particularly to a person who mostly saw and expected the best from people, he never let cynicism or bitterness define who he was. If you wanted or needed a friend, there was none better. He was generous and warm and witty. He loved children, and could make any kid laugh with expert silliness. I'm don't think there was a sound he liked to hear more than that of a kid laughing.
He showed great compassion to everyone in almost any situation. In the last few years he experienced the early stages of Alzheimer's disease. From the point of his diagnosis he volunteered for a study that used experimental drugs to treat the condition, in the hopes of finding a treatment or even a cure. There are risks in such a program, but he jumped into it with enthusiasm, and not just for how it might help him. His main focus was in helping other people, future Alzheimer's patients for whom successful tested medications could make a positive difference. His doctors suspect one of the medication's side effects contributed to the weakening of the main artery carrying blood to his brain, and could have been the cause of the kind of aneurism that ended his life. He may have sacrificed his own life to help people he would never know. That's the definition of a hero. But he was always a hero to me.

At the heart of the universe is a God of love. John says specifically, "God is love." (1 John 4:16). Not loves, or has love, or became love, but is love.

(Reuters) – Shares of Fitbit Inc , a maker of popular wearable fitness-tracking devices, ran up as much as 60 percent in their debut, valuing the company at $6.5 billion.
Fitbit is the second U.S. wearable technology company to go public, following action camera-maker GoPro Inc's hugely successful listing around this time last year.
Fitbit's colorful wireless wrist bands and clippable devices track heart rate, calories, sleeping patterns and step counts.
President Barack Obama has been spotted wearing the Fitbit Surge watch, the highest selling GPS fitness watch in the United States in the first quarter of 2015.
The eight-year-old company had sold over 20.8 million devices as of March 31, of which more than half were in 2014 as the wearable technology craze took off.
While Fitbit faces stiff competition from device makers such as Garmin Ltd , Jawbone and Misfit, its biggest challenger could be Apple Inc's recently launched Apple Watch, which sports several health-related features and apps.
"Fitbit's success will be closely watched, just like the sales of the Apple watch, to really give investors a better sense of how viable and sustainable this market is," CLSA analyst Ed Maguire said.
About 126 million wearable devices are expected to be shipped in 2019, representing nearly $28 billion in revenue, according to IDC. In 2014, 19.6 million units were shipped.
Fitbit said in its IPO filing it had an 85 percent share in dollar terms of the U.S. connected activity tracker market in the first quarter of 2015, citing data from NPD Group.
The company's revenue almost tripled to about $745 million for the year ended Dec. 31. Fitbit reported net profit of $131.8 million, compared with a loss of $51.6 million.
The company raised about $731.5 million by selling 22.4 million of the 36.6 million class A shares offered. The stock was priced at $20 per share, above the top end of the expected price range of $17-$19.
Co-founders James Park, who is also Fitbit's CEO, and Eric Friedman each own 11.2 percent of class B shares. Between them, they reaped about $31 million from the offering.
Venture capital firm Foundry Group Funds, which holds a 27 percent stake in the company, raised $130.3 million from the IPO.
The stock hit a high of $31.90 in early trading on the New York Stock Exchange on Thursday.
Morgan Stanley, Deutsche Bank Securities and BofA Merrill Lynch were among the underwriters for the IPO.

Nearly 18K Connecticut parents about to lose health coverage
Although even deeper cuts were avoided in the state budget adopted this week, about 17,700 Connecticut low-income parents will no longer be eligible for Medicaid health insurance coverage come August.
As part of state budget cuts last year, income eligibility from 201 percent to 155 percent of the poverty level, which applied to nearly 19,000 parents.
For about 17,700 of those parents, loss of eligibility was deferred a year until Aug. 1 because they had earned income from paid employment and under federal rules were able to keep their coverage for a year. Those who have only unearned income, such as Social Security and unemployment, lost their coverage last September.
Gov. Dannel P. Malloy had proposed lowering the income limit for Medicaid eligibility for low-income parents again this year — from 155 percent of the federal poverty level to 138 percent, but it did not make it into the final state budget approved by the General Assembly this week. This would have affected another 8,700 parents, resulting in a savings of about $900,000 next year.
Malloy spokesman Chris McClure said the governor's proposal to again rollback eligibility came as the state faced "its new economic reality."
"The state must align spending with revenue, and as a result, difficult budget options needed to be examined," McClure said. "The individuals who would have been impacted — if the proposal had moved forward — would have ample opportunity to find other insurance options such as enrolling in an employer provided plan or purchasing replacement insurance on one of the best implemented health care insurance exchanges in the country."
The budget passed by the Senate on Thursday didn't include the cuts to coverage, but advocates predict it will be brought up again as the state continues to face tough financial times.
"We will exhale when the final budget is adopted, but we're hopeful," said Elizabeth Krause, the vice president of policy and communications at the Connecticut Health Foundation. "It will keep coming up as long as the state is in large deficits, that we are counting on."
Sharon Langer, advocacy director at Connecticut Voices for Children, predicts that the Aug. 1 change will increase the state's ranks of uninsured.
"We know what happened when a smaller number of parents lost coverage last fall," Langer said. "Most of them either did not purchase coverage through Access Health CT, or dropped coverage initially because they couldn't afford the cost."
Among 645 parents who lost coverage on Sept. 1, 2015, one in four enrolled in a qualified health plan through Access Health CT, the state's health insurance exchange, including some who experienced gaps in coverage. Most parents in this group did not enroll or have since dropped coverage and may be uninsured, according to a report by Connecticut Voices for Children.
Langer said notices are expected to be sent to the 17,700 parents in June.
"The good news is that the state and many of the local community partners are trying to develop a plan that will help these people at least understand what their options are," she said.

Okay, through some trial and error I think I see that the Unsubscribe link records the unsubscribe request but in subsequent mailing to the list, that unsubscribed email address was again sent an email. Unsubscribe did not work? I would have anticipated that an email marked unsubscribed (unsubscription) would be automatically skipped? What is the intended function? Is there a setting to tell MaxBulk Mailer to skip these records in future mailings?

Macroevolution and Biogeography of Eocene to Oligocene Coccolithophores
Tom Dunkley Jones and Richard Butler
PhD Summary
I am looking at the Eocene-Oligocene transition and the climate associated with this time period -approximately 34 million years ago. During this time there existed, like today, tiny calcareous nannoplankton which are microscopic haptophyte algae, also known as coccolithophores. My research is based in Java, Indonesia and is associated with this climatic transition which is a rapid cooling event that has been recorded by the coccolithophores from these Javanese sediments. Their diversity, evolution and biogeography hold clues to past climates and can tell us a lot about what the Earths' climate was doing during this interval which is important for understanding the future of Earths' climate changes.
What inspires you?
From a young age, I have always had a curious mind. Questioning the world and all that was going on around me seemed to spark my enthusiasm and therefore, it was perfect for me to follow this curiosity and feed my hunger for all I wanted to know about the natural world. I was fascinated by fossils and evolution which is where my interests first started, from there, the world has been my oyster and since has led me to where I am today.
Previous Activity
I completed my Bachelors at the University of Portsmouth in BSc Palaeontology where I obtained a First-Class Honours degree and won the Palaeontology Project Prize for my dissertation on "The diversity and taphonomy of Late Jurassic (Tithonian) coccoliths of the Kimmeridge Clay, Dorset, England". After this, I was awarded a scholarship, courtesy of the University of Birmingham which enabled me to complete my MSc in Applied and Petroleum Micropalaeontology. It is here where I wrote my dissertation "Coccolithophore diversity and paleoecology across the Eocene-Oligocene Boundary of the Nanggulan Formation, Java, Indonesia" in which I achieved a distinction.
Why did you choose Docotoral Research?
I have always wanted to enter academia and contribute to research which interests me, such as: coccolithophore evolution and diversity changes through time and why this happens. I aspire to become a Reader and contribute significantly to science and pass on my knowledge to those who have similar passions as I do. I believe by undertaking Doctoral Research is the most suitable route to help me achieve all that I want.
Why did you choose a CENTA Studentship?
What interested me most about the CENTA studentship was all of the opportunities that I could obtain by choosing CENTA. For example, the training and facilities in which I have access too are perfect to suit my project and my interests.
What are your future plans
As my future plans are to become a Reader, completing Doctoral research not only appeals to me as I am researching what I am most interested in, but also, the University of Birmingham will facilitate me to the upmost due to the excellent facilities it has to offer. Being paired as a CENTA student also enables me with the best opportunities to help me reach my potentials.

On Saturday, 27 speakers and artists delivered performances, demonstrations and talks to a packed CEMEX Auditorium for TEDxStanford 2012, Stanford's first independently organized TED conference. The event, produced by the Office of Public Affairs in partnership with the Graduate School of Business and the School of Engineering, was organized around the central theme of illumination.
The performances and talks were organized into three sessions throughout the day, dividing into the categories "Cultivate," "Captivate" and "Celebrate." The speakers – current students, alumni, professors and deans – delivered talks in their respective fields of expertise, ranging from yoga to virtual reality to early detection of cancer.
Speakers such as Jeremy Bailenson and Dan Klein '90, communication and drama professors, respectively, who currently research and teach at Stanford, presented their work on virtual reality and improvisation. Bailenson and Klein's talks were meant as a sample of their classes – Bailenson's Virtual People and Klein's Beginning Improvisation.
While many of the event's talks focused on innovation and new technology – reflecting Stanford's entrepreneurial ethos – there were several instances during the day when speakers cautioned against excessive innovation and drive that lacks mindfulness for context and human needs.
Krista Donaldson M.S. '98 Ph.D. '04 of D-Rev and a researcher at The Hasso Plattner Institute of Design (informally known as the d.school) urged budding innovators to consider context when developing and delivering new technologies.
Banny Bannerjee M.S. '00, also of the d.school, warned that students' tendency for binary, oppositional thinking leads to self-doubt and misguided self-reassurance.
Julie Lythcott-Haims '89, associate vice provost for undergraduate education and dean of freshman and undergraduate advising, suggested in her talk that parents foster more independence in children rather than cultivate safe spaces for undirected achievement.
Some talks more closely resembled demonstrations, and the speaker would call upon the audience to act out a series of instructions. Louis Jackson '91, whose teachings fuse the traditions of yoga with modern health science research, had the audience performing breathing exercises to achieve peace of mind.
Klein called on audience members to create the longest run-on sentence possible with those seated near them, while Esther Gokhale, an anthropologist and back pain expert, instructed the audience how to relearn proper pelvic posture and how to sit.
Notable performances included 14-year-old cello prodigy Ila Shon and Pamela Z, who pioneered the live digital looping technique for music recording. Pamela Z projected a video with dance elements that created a multimedia experience in the auditorium.
TEDxStanford comes on the heels of STAN (Science, Technology, Art and Nature), which was produced last May as a prototype for events involving short talks interspersed with performances.

Boy, 4, Found Wandering Thought House Was On Fire
Melchizedek Jimenez Left Grandparents' House After Hearing Alarm
A St. Francis 4-year-old boy was trying to walk the two-and-a-half miles from his grandparents' house to his home early Monday when a bus driver found him on a busy Cudahy street.
Melchizedek Jimenez usually travels with three older siblings, but on Monday, he took a long walk alone that made headlines.
There was no school on Monday, so on Sunday night, Melchizedek had his first sleepover at his grandparents' house. An alarm clock went off before 6 a.m.
"He heard a beeping sound, thought it was a fire alarm, because in school he learned he's not supposed to be in the house when there's a fire alarm," said Melchizedek's sister, Isabel Jimenez.
Melchizedek didn't know his grandparents were inside sleeping, so he put on his coat and mittens and started walking.
The 4-year-old walked nearly a half mile along Packard Avenue until a bus driver stopped to see what he was doing.
"Where were you going?" 12 News reporter Colleen Henry asked the boy.
"Head home," Melchizedek replied.
When Henry asked the boy if he knew how to get home from his grandparents' house, he simply shook his head "no."
"How did you cross the street?" Henry asked.
"Checking cars," Melchizedek said.
The boy's mother said she didn't know he was missing until police called her.
"He's a very smart little boy," she said.
Melchizedek led police to his mother by dialing his own phone number.
He told 12 News that he liked his stay with the officers. They bought him McDonald's to eat and a Shrek doll. He said, when he grows up, he wants to be one of the good guys.
"Batman," Melchizedek said.
Cudahy police notified the Bureau of Child Welfare as the law requires but said there's no evidence of any criminal neglect.

Trekking is a beautifully crafted aluminium frame, high spec. Mountain bike, featuring 27.5″ wheels, front and rear disc brakes, 10 power settings (9 power assisted levels), Shimano Acera 21 gear chain set, Samsung 7,8 Ah lithium-ion battery set fully integrated into the frame and very low profile 250 watt hub motor. (See detailed spec. below)
Trekking looks like a regular high quality mountain bike… with 1 fundamental difference – it will change the way you ride forever!
The 250 watt motor pushes & assists you up hills and on the flat like a dream, it completely has the feeling of riding a normal mountain bike but without becoming exhausted or tired you can just ride all day* without even getting out of breath – unless YOU want to. The rider has complete control over how little or much of the power assistance is applied to the road wheels via a 10 level power controller ranging for level 0 (no assistance) to level 9.
All you have to do to to make it go is pedal ! – but not very hard ! You start it and it continues applying the power for you until you stop pedalling or brake.

Sponsored By H&M
By Kate Marin
Every season has its selection of wardrobe necessities, but fall undoubtedly offers the best of them all: jeans. They're one of fashion's most timeless staples that, lucky for us, have been reinvented in endless styles, washes, and silhouettes. And even though they've been around the block, your favorite denim styles should never feel ordinary — especially when paired with unexpected tops and accessories.
In partnership with H&M, we're sharing four simple ways to put a modern spin on the most stylish denim silhouettes — wide-leg, mom, flared, and boyfriend — so they're sure to feel fresher than ever this fall. If a simple white tee just isn't doing your denim justice, swap it out with one of our favorite H&M finds like a cozy knit sweater, a leather button-up, or a vintage inspired knit polo. Fall has never looked so good.
For running errands on the weekends or heading to a casual mid-week meeting over coffee, a wide-leg jean is the perfect middle ground between style and comfort. This slightly-cropped style from H&M pairs easilly with your best knit sweater and a statement mini-bag.
A buttoned-up look doesn't have to be boring or business-y — in fact, it can be just the opposite. With a great pair of vintage-inspired mom jeans like this slim-leg option from H&M, mix in a few modern business-casual pieces for a look that's edgy yet totally professional.
Almost fifty years later, there's no denying that the '70s brought forth some of the best denim styles around, and the flared jean is no exception. To style this iconic jean without getting stuck in a decade past, pair it with a soft knit polo, a polished blazer, and your favorite statement shoe.
For everything from work to travel, a comfortable pair of distressed boyfriend jeans offers endless versatility. With your go-to white tee or your best new trench coat for fall, there's no easier way to flawlessly achieve an effortless casual look.

ZigBee – Why it is a BUZZ word?
In 2002 an alliance was formed comprising of 200 – 250 companies and with an objective of driving standards for low power wireless communication. They particularly focussed on markets where data could be sent across buildings or a larger area potentially traversing multiple hops and all devices were to be really low powered. The result was ZigBee which defines a mesh protocol used for sensor monitoring and control type applications where "low power" is a key focus. This is the standard that tech evangelists were actually looking for as it paved the way for inter-operability of devices from different companies which otherwise was not possible. Thus ZigBee is a global wireless standard which has made it possible to "control your world".
ZigBee IEEE 802.15.4 standard is a low cost, low power, moderate data rate wireless mesh topology gaining traction in the home energy market with multiple Zigbee enabled products available in the market. ZigBee enables smart meters to communicate with home appliances which help to manage the overall load. At VVDN we believe that innovative ZigBee–based solutions can advance wireless networks in the home and within industrial and public facilities while coming into its own in diverse market segments as shown in the fig below. Even smartphone companies are working on incorporating it in the upcoming models. ZigBee is all about setting standards for cost efficient control networks. We can say that:
"ZigBee undoubtedly is the wireless communication of choice"
Since its inception VVDN has been providing solutions for wireless sensing technologies and has a rich experience in building and operating reliable and robust ZigBee Networks. Our team of experts who specialize in ZigBee products can help you achieve full ZigBeecompliance for your wireless product while reducing risks. Some of the key design and operational considerations while designing applications with ZigBee are:
1) Reliability: Designers should consider the appropriate layout in terms of the anticipated distances between radios and the expected density of the network produced. The reliability of communication between any pair of nodes is degraded by three phenomena: attenuation, interference and multi-path. Additionally it also depends on the hardware design—including packaging, antenna design and PC-board layout—as well as on the materials in the surrounding environment. By placing ZigBee receivers and transmitters closer together, the destructive effects of all three conditions are reduced.
2) Security: Most ZigBee solutions will require some level of security to be designed into the devices. Every ZigBee network is required to have a Trust Center (TC), which manages security for the network. The specific capabilities of the TC will depend on the application profile or profiles being deployed, the underlying stack profile or feature set and developer decisions with regard to optional security features. If developers choose to use a public ZigBee profile, then the security decisions for their applications have already been made for them; they are pre-defined in the profile. If a developer intends to build a private profile application, the choice will be the security mode in one of the ZigBee pre-defined stack profiles.
3) Network Utilization: Utilization here includes throughput considerations as well as the communications patterns that will be in use. Designers should carefully test their assumptions and expectations with respect to throughput under conditions that, as closely as possible, approximate those of an actual deployment. The final design should take the results of these tests into account.
4) Platform Considerations: ZigBee standardized framework does not by itself ensure easy product development. Designers must choose between "rolling their own" ZigBee solution from multi-vendor components or building their applications upon an integrated hardware/software platform. A multi-vendor platform sometimes offers developers lower upfront costs. But a single-source platform, while sometimes more expensive, lets designers avoid the headaches, finger-pointing and product development delays inherent in solutions built from different vendors' hardware and software products.
The standard was designed to give wireless system designers great flexibility in developing highly differentiated applications. Experts from VVDN are quite adept at providing comprehensive solutions for ZigBee building automation system. VVDN help OEMs and system integrators to roll out new products on time and on budget by offering reusable, highly adaptable solutions, including hardware and software.

Style For Hire Interview
Style For Hire is a country-wide network of style experts co-founded by fashion consultant and What Not To Wear co-host Stacy London. Style For Hire offers styling services – in person and online – from experienced stylists who can answer any and all fashion-related questions to might come up with. From what to wear to a specific event to how to build a better wardrobe to shopping suggestions that will save you money in the future.
I recently had the good fortune to interview a member of the Style For Hire team – Nicole Bush – who shared her background & passion for all things fashion-related with me, as well as helping me answer some of the requests and questions that I regularly get during the Fall.
{Another example of a classic handbag – MICHAEL Michael Kors Hamilton Artisan Tote}
Nicole's Background:
[1.] Do you have a fashion background or schooling? Did you work in a similar industry prior to joining Style For Hire?
As far back as I can remember I was playing dress up and dressing my friends. I had worked in retail on and off but it wasn't until I was personal training in Columbus that I realized this was my passion. After training clients and seeing their transformations (yet still dressing the same) I decided I wanted to help. I enrolled in the Style institute once I moved and the rest is history!
[2.] How long have you been working at Style For Hire? What about the company initially drew you to it?
[3.] What is the best part about working at Style For Hire? What is your favorite thing about this company?
[4.] What's the best part of your job? What's the most rewarding experience that you've had?
The best part of my job is helping women build confidence! To just look at a woman who sees herself full of flaws, and show her the beauty I see- its an indescribable feeling. The most rewarding experience is when my client then sees their own beauty…it's priceless!
[5.] Do you see yourself staying in the fashion industry? Where do you see yourself in five years?
Yes I see myself in the fashion industry. I see myself in 5 years starting a clothing line and styling fashion shows.
{Example of a classic piece that Nicole recommends – Michael Kors Hamilton Large Calf-Hair Tote}
[1.] My first steps at the beginning of a new season are to clean out my wardrobe, rearrange my pieces, take inventory, and make a list of things I'd like to add for the coming season and then start shopping – online & in stores. How would you approach updating your wardrobe for a new season? What are the steps that you think that one should take?
In order to update your wardrobe one must know what they have. Start by editing your wardrobe. Pull anything you haven't worn and go through that pile. Ask yourself why you haven't worn it? Are you missing a piece to complete the look, does it not work for your body type or your personality? DON'T hold onto item you haven't worn based on an emotional tie. That is the number 1 mistake people make. Instead donate to a friend or a charity. Make room for new pieces and KNOW your body and what works for you.
[2.] When the new collections hit stores it's easy to get swept away by all of the fabulous clothing and accessories out there and end up with buyer's remorse. I like to plan my investment purchases for the season in advance, after looking through the collections and seeing what the stores are carrying. What are your suggestions when it comes to buying investment pieces for your wardrobe that you plan to wear/carry season-after-season? What are you top recommendations for designers or stores that frequently carry the types of timeless, classic pieces that fit this bill?
First and foremost you have to LOVE what you buy! Investment pieces are just that- an investment. Think longevity. FIT is key here!
Be familiar with sales. When my Style for Hire clients are about to invest in a key piece I schedule shopping dates at store where my clients will benefit. Be it at Nordstrom on triple point's day or Bloomingdale's friends and family. They will get extra points and discounts which is always a bonus.
Designers such as Burberry, Michael Kors, and Ralph Lauren are always great for classic timeless pieces.
{A must have is a divine trench coat – Classic Burburry version pictured here}
[3.] Having an organized closet is important to me because it means being able to easily access things, it reduces the amount of time spent getting dressed in the morning, and it keeps me from forgetting about pieces that are hidden from sight. What are your recommendations when it comes to closet organization? In your opinion what are the best ways for someone to organize and/or display their clothing and accessories to increase function and convenience?
Your closet is prime real estate, especially living in the bay area where space is hard to come by! Your closet should be FUNCTIONAL everything in it should fit and should be able to be worn that season. Be sure to rotate your clothes each season. Store any clothes that don't fit in another closet or a storage bin.
An organized closet can be your best friend! The first thing I do with my clients is organize their closet based on their needs. For instance, I had a client who always wore black and gray and typically pants. When I rearranged her closet I put all of her black clothes in the back so if she wanted to wear black she had to work for it! Working from left to right, I arranged her closet by putting all of her dresses, and colorful blouses in the center and her gray at the other end. Because of this, she had a whole new wardrobe and we hadn't even gone shopping yet!
Each season, I suggest you rearrange your wardrobe. If you notice you tend to wear the same go to outfits- mix it up. I like to hang as much as I can. If it's folded in a draw you tend to forget about it. I use drawers for your everyday pieces- think underpinnings, sports bras, workout clothes, layering tanks etc.
I love to hang accessories so I can see them. Be sure to keep all of your jewelry together in one spot. This is usually the last thing you put on but the most important.
I really love how passionate and enthusiastic she is about fashion – There's no risk of being told you should only buy designer or throw away all the clothes you've ever bought – SFH is only interested in helping build your confidence through looking your best. What's not to love about that?
Thank you to Style For Hire and to Nicole for their time in setting up this interview – I hope that you all enjoyed this! And I have good news for the holidays – You can order a Style For Hire gift certificate online and give a friend or relative the fashion experience they've always wanted.
Fall On A Budget
At the beginning of October I shared my Fall 2012 Must Haves, which included eye-catching patterns & prints, faux leather, fun pants, tweed pieces, asymmetrical details, and the color de jour for Fall – Oxblood.
It's easy to see pictures from the Fall 2012 collections and put together a mental list of all the things you want, and then give up in frustration because you can't afford straight-from-the-runway pieces. But I'm here to tell you that we can very easily update your wardrobe for Fall without having to dip into your 401k. I promise!
I like to get one or two great new investment pieces each season – something like an updated but classic Little Black Dress, a chic new handbag, or a timeless trench – but I'll also collect a handful of fun, on-trend pieces from less expensive stores that quickly update my looks for the season. There are great stores like Zara, ASOS, H&M, and TopShop were you can find trendy, well-made pieces each season for a steal. Read on for some of my personal suggestions & recommendations as well as a collection of great articles that'll steer you in the right direction for all of your Fall 2012 needs.
- Where Do Editors Really Shop from Refinery 29 is just the sort of article that I love to read – Knowing where the most fashionable and stylish women in the fashion world shop is like being handed the keys to the kingdom! And wouldn't you know it, along with the high-end designers that you'd expect them to mention, they also list great inexpensive shopping destinations like E-bay, Target, Zara, Amazon, Madewell, J.Crew, TopShop, JewelMint, ShoeMint, and even The Salvation Army. Great news, isn't it?
- The Glitter Guide's Caitlin's Budget Buys: Fall Essentials Under $80 includes fabulous beauty & fashion finds from Target, TopShop, Old Navy, Dorothy Perkins, Christian Siriano for Payless, ASOS, L'Oreal, and Sole Society.
Another lucky break for us fashion obsessed is that more and more high-end designers have been coming out with reasonably priced collections for retailer giants like Payless, Target, and Macys.
{Long-sleeve Shirt Dress in Red Geometric Print – $40 @ Kirna Zabete for Target, Long-Sleeve Satin Blazer – $60 (on sale) @ Nicole Richie for Impulse & Racquel Side Zip Bootine – $50 @ Christian Siriano for Payless}
Lucky Magazine's 100 Cheap Fall Finds is a trove of fun Fall pieces from printed pants and embellished collars to chic dresses and leather trimmed jackets. In addition to featuring clothing from Luckymag.com, they included other retail websites like Romwe.com, Pixiemarket.com, Urban1972.com, Levis.com, and Ulta.com.
- Two of the trends that I'm most excited for this Fall are printed pants and leather-trimmed pieces and luckily for all of us the fun website The Cheap Chica's Guide to Style featured fabulous recommendations for both trends – Geometry Class & Just The Sleeves Please. So no matter what type of fashion you're in the mood for this site has what you're looking for!
The less expensive secondary lines created by designers and sold at department stores like Bloomingdale's, Macys, Nordstrom, and Kolh's are great pieces to keep an eye out for.
{Left to Right: Marc by Marc Jacobs 'Jac' Denim Leggings – $140 @ Nordstrom, MICHAEL Michael Kors Sleeveless Cowl Neck Banded Bottom Dress – $45 (on sale) @ Bloomingdale's, and LC Lauren Conrad Embellished Ruffle Tee – $40 @ Kohl's}
- Not quite sure how to approach stores like Nordstrom Rack, TJ Maxx, Marshall's, or Ross? Refinery 29 took it upon themselves to teach us how in their piece Discount Shopping – How To Shop At Marshalls where they had three different editors put together 6 cute looks under $50. Wow!
- Waiting for stores to have announce a big sale is a great way to find the pieces you're craving without paying full-price. Not sure just how to make this tactic work for you? Check out Sales Rack Skinny: The Subtle Statement's Sale Shop Tactics for tips that'll help you find just what you're looking for in stores or even online.
Are you still in the mood for more tips, recommendations, and suggestions for updating your wardrobe, Fall dressing, and online shopping? Stay tuned for an upcoming interview with Style For Hire and a series of informative posts all about online shopping.
New York Fashion Week Spring 2013 – Street Style & Front Row Fashion
This is the final – finally – post on the Spring 2013 New York Fashion Week collections. During the first three posts we reviewed the NYFW institutions, the affordable "real women" lines, and the newbies to Fashion Week. Today's post is all about the editors, actresses, bloggers, models, and fashion industry insiders during New York Fashion Week – What they wore to view the collections, running between the shows, and to the parties, store openings & celebration dinners.
{I absolutely adore this look. It's chic and utterly put together, but still fun and youthful rather than being stiff and boring. Well done Miss Belle!}
{Low-key and casual, perfect for a muggy NYC day and comfortable enough to make it through the day without foot pain, fashion emergencies, or faux pas.}
{Quite the well put together outfit – I love the blouse, it suits her really well, and I'm a sucker for a great day clutch so this studded beauty really caught my eye.}
{So. Cute. I can't imagine a more adorable or flatteringly age-appropriate little outfit for this young lady.}
{I kind of love Kelly's look here. I'm not a huge fan of her recent hair color choices, but the bright colorblocking of this frock is lovely and that black & white checkered clutch was a brilliant choice.}
{I love the fresh, colorful prints she picked here, as well as the unique midi length hem. There's something to be said for mixing & matching, no one else will ever show up in the same outfit!}
{LOVE! It's fun and one-of-a-kind, totally Brad!}
{Great colors. Fabulous length. Utterly flattering silhouettes. Well done ladies, well done.}
Bloggers do it better! 🙂 The ladies who represented the blogger contingent in New York City did a fabulous job in brights, florals, prints, and eye-catching accessories.
{Such a gorgeous dress! Dark florals are one of my favorite ways to bridge the Summer-to-Fall gap and this is a great example of how to transition them. And Zara booties never hurt an outfit!}
{One way to make sure that you stand out in a crowd of bloggers, celebrities, and editors is to: (1) Look stunning (2) Wear stand-out hues that suit you to perfection & (3) Pile on the gorgeous statement jewelry}
{Great print & colors – And those double ankle strap heels are killer}
{Liz from Late Afternoon (left) and Laura from OnTheRacks (right) make quite the pretty picture in a fun, colorful array of separates paired with perfectly chosen, eye-catching accessories.}
{Sylish and chic! I love this look but I have NO IDEA how she was wearing a black blazer during NYFW, maybe she took it off after the pictures were taken?}
{This is a great laid back look. I adore the printed pants paired with the leopard print pieces, and the plain white tee paired with the dramatic statement necklace is another great choice.}
{LOVE THIS. It's wild & crazy & fun – Just what fashion week is supposed to be all about!}
{I always look forward to shots of Karlie – I adore her street style, her runway walk, and how her personality always manages to shine through in a picture. Here's yet another great example of her personal style from Mr. Newton!}
{How fabulous is this shot? I love her bike, her handbag, her helmet, and her low-key but chic style – Skinnies & a tank – perfect for a humid Summer day in New York.}
{This is a great shot showing models doing something that they do best – Mixing & matching! These ladies are doing a great job of combining interesting and fun pieces to put together unique, fashionable looks.}
And last but hardly least, my favorite look from New York Fashion Week…
{I mean seriously? Can you imagine a more chic and stylish looking woman? She probably made half the women at this show cry and give up on fashion. Head-to-toe this is an amazing look – The red is striking and the gloves & pearls are such chic touches. J'adore!}

New York Fashion Week Spring 2013 – Part III
This post is devoted to the lines that I'm just discovering – Hey I never claimed to be on top of everything – and the designers are that just starting to hock their wares at New York Fashion Week. You can catch up on the earlier posts that you missed to see reviews of dozens more fashion shows – New York Fashion Week Spring 2013 – Part I & New York Fashion Week Spring 2013 – Part II.
Veronica Beard:
This two-year old brand put out a lovely collection for Spring 2013 – Twenty-one looks that included colorful day dresses, loungewear, smart blazers, chic suits, and light outerwear.
You could see the Moroccan influence in the vivid colors and prints, and in the loose silhouettes and pajama-like styles of some of the pants, jumpsuits, and short suits.
Jil Sander Navy:
I'm not sure why, but I've never checked out the Loobook for Jil Sander Navy before – Thus its inclusion in the "new to me" Part III review of NYFW – And I enjoyed what I saw. The collection was full of crisp fabrics, clean lines, and basic separates that are the building block for every modern woman's wardrobe.
When I look at this Lookbook I see all the casual but chic and stylish pieces that you need – Tennis skirts, sleeveless blouses, car coats, shirt dresses, patterned jackets, mod-inspired collarless shifts, and knee-length skirts – All in navy, white, red & blue with stripes and florals thrown in for good measure and paired with sporty wedges, t-straps, and platform tennis shoes.
I look forward to seeing what this brand comes out with next!
This was a pretty collection of pretty frocks in neutrals with hints of Spring-appropriate pink and green. Nature-based prints, lace, and brocades gave this collection a very sweet vibe – Everything looked fresh and ready for next Spring.
Light colors, delicate fabrics, and slightly oversized silhouettes gave many of the pieces the illusion that they were preparing to float away. In addition to satin pumps there were classic sandals in white and powder blue. I loved the shorts, pants, and high-neck blouses they were sweet and dreamy but still contemporary enough to imagine in your own closet.
Holmes & Yang:
Miss Katie Holmes continued to shed her Mrs. Tom Cruise title and joined with her long-time stylist to create a cute, functional group of looks for an early morning NYFW showing.
The clothes were chic and wearable with flats & heels, handbags, flowing silk maxi dresses & maxi skirts, slouchy cropped pants, cute day dresses, short suits, and plenty of fun prints and leather. The first look was my favorite, I liked the loose wide leg pants and the quilted motorcycle jacket.
Pierre Balmain:
While Balmain is the go-to brand for sexy, rock n' roll fabulousness, its new sister line Pierre Balmain may become the go-to for chic, ladylike separates.
The 66 look collection featured Parisian black & white, pops of pink & yellow, peplums, lace, leather & eyelet, menswear, denim, all-over prints, and a great collection of blazers & jackets in varying lengths and fabrics. While Balmain pieces can often look more like couture than street wear, these clothes were ready to walk straight from the catwalk to the sidewalk!
Theyskens' Theory:
I'm embarrassed to admit it, but I've never taken the time to look at Oliver Theyskens' collection for Theory before. The shame! And it was no surprise that I liked what I saw when I finally did.
It was a dark hued, wet looking group collection – filled with elegant suits, sleek leather, chunky knits, and some slouchy Alexander Wang-style separates, all paired with strappy heels and oversized, borrowed from the boys outerwear.
Thakoon Addition:
Cute. Feminine. Wearable. These were the first thoughts that popped into my head when I saw this collection – Nothing innovative or provocative, just stylish, contemporary separates and dresses for the modern girl.
The eyelet and mini flower prints were Spring-ready and the bloomer-style short shorts and long, open sweaters gave the collection some fun silhouettes. I especially liked the print mixing and the striped, open sweater-sets.
Katie Gallagher:
NYFW newbie Katie Gallagher was quite the topic of discussion this season and stood up to the scrutiny by showing a black & nude collection full of draping, swimwear, and cutouts.
Peplums, sheer fabrics, chainlink belts, lace-up strappy sandals, asymmetrical hemlines, shrunken outerwear, bathing suits, retro bandeau tops, and textured fabrics kept the collection from being boring.
MM6 Maison Martin Margiela:
The perfect Paris-meets-New-York-City looks this season came from MM6 Maison Martin Margiela, new to NYFW and one of the hottest tickets in town.
Urban cuts, dramatic drapping, and loose silhouettes featured heavily in the Lookbook, with washed out greys, browns, and white, all paired with over-the-shoulder and messenger bags.
Charlotte Ronson:
Flirty florals, calming deep blues & greens, multicolored stripes, colorblocking, rompers, sheer blouses, mesh, jumpsuits, and cute shrunken blazers all made an appearance in the Ocean themed collection.
The separates here really stole my heart, I loved the print mixing & matching, the layering, and the sweet patterns that she used. I was also a fan of the handbags and ankle strap platforms that accompanied the looks. These are the perfect types of pieces for throwing on during the Spring & Summer – Bathing suit cover ups, hot Summer nights, vacation clothes – Cute, easy, and wearable.

What was your favorite trend so far from the Spring 2013 collections? I think I have to agree with Mr. Blasberg about one of my favorite emerging trends for next Spring – "NYFW trend: Long live the sexy secretary skirt! Low on the hips at Marc Jacobs, unzipped at Michael Kors, and in python at Reed Krakoff." Looking forward to seeing how this trend is translated in London, Milan, and Paris.

2013 Resort Collections
Did the breathtaking Chanel Resort 2013 and Oscar de la Renta Resort 2013 collections whet your sartorial appetite for more gorgeous warm-weather clothes?
Me too!
I've narrowed down some of my favorite looks from all of the gorgeous 2013 Resort collections for you. I wish I had the time for a full review of each lovely show, but alas, I do not. Enjoy these highlights!
As usual, the Stella McCartney show was cheerful and fun, offering beautiful clothing in a fun atmosphere. Games, a lemonade stand, celebrities & fashion insiders, and gorgeous models sporting gorgeous, summery pieces. Perfection!
Cute. Fun. Flirty. The Carven show was filled with great, wearable separates. A few dresses were sprinkled throughout the show, but the separates were the highlight. This collection had Alexa Chung's name written allll over it!
I was thrilled when I heard the news that Miss L'Wren Scott was planning to show her first Resort collection this season. I've been a longtime fan of her Fall and Spring lines, I adore her ladylike silhouettes and the phenomenal attention to detail that her garments always have. And this fabulously retro collection, tailor-made for Mad Men or Pan Am, was worth the anticipation.
Marc Jacobs was all about brights, prints, and separates. As always, the show was busy, a fabulous chaotic mess of fabrics and patterns and color. Oversized, baggy shorts paired with sequined T-shirts, maxi dresses with cut-out backs, midi-length dresses and skirts in a-line silhouettes, and bold colors embellished with sequins, lace, and shimmering brocades. A feast for the eyes!
I've been a fan of Phoebe Philo's work at Celine since day one. The lines, the silhouettes, the pants, the chic minimalism, the accessories. Oh lord, the accessories.
I'm a sucker for a pretty pattern and easy, wearable separates, which makes most of the Tory Burch collections right up my alley. This year's resort show included mixing & matching patterns, thick banded sandals, striped & checkered pieces, over the shoulder bucket bags, headbands, short shorts, and even seashell accents.
Preen had great florals, maxi dresses, and striking separates, but these two looks really stole the show in my opinion. I loved the dramatic quality of the color choices and the striking cuts.
Michael Kors showed lots of solid colors and dazzling gold pieces. His silhouettes were simple and classic, the colors and occasional pattern definitely took front stage.
You can always count on a Moschino Cheap and Chic show to be playful and entertaining, and the clothing to be cute and fun. This collection was all about gorgeous outerwear, whimsical prints, and relaxed, chic separates in cool greens and pale blues.
I always look forward to all of Jason Wu's shows, his designs are inevitably chic and polished. Each and every look could go straight from the runway to the street outside the show without missing a beat. Classic, well-tailored, and timeless, these clothes are a great investment!
And I've saved my favorite for last… Rachel Zoe! Fun, sexy, and completely drool-worthy. Daywear, club gear, bathing suit cover ups, all with a little drama and a 70's spin. Just the way we like it!

Looks of the Week
Happy Monday! How was everyone's weekend?
Let's get this week started on a fashionable note with some great outfits that I've tracked down, and I'll start with my absolute favorite look that I discovered.
I love the striped skirt (obviously) and I've been wearing my own polka dotted blouse to death so this gives me some great inspiration and ideas. Love it!
Do these pictures motivate you to be more creative with your fashion choices?
2012 CFDA Awards
The CFDA Awards were held Monday night and there were all sorts of highlights – from gorgeous red carpet dresses to fun announcements to an after party that just wouldn't quit.
I swear, there was nothing else on my Twitter feed for HOURS.
And if you're a lover of prints and patterns on the red carpet, there were a handful of ladies who impressed and really brought the drama in that department Monday.
Clearly a good time was had by all!
I love to see the serious and intense fashion insiders letting loose and really enjoying themselves at events like this one. It's a great reminder of how much fun fashion is and what an amazing opportunity these kinds of celebrations can be.
P.S. You should definitely check out The Man Repeller, Rebecca Minkoff, and Hilary Rhoda's hysterical "Call Me Maybe" music video that they made while getting ready for this event.
So. Funny.
Can't forget our boys! From traditional suits to tuxedos with a twist to white linen, they definitely clean up nice!

Or you can see my choice for the best dressed individual of the night in lacy black Marc Jacobs…
Red Carpetness
While I'm dying to start posting the gorgeous looks from the Cannes Film Festival red carpet events, I'm going to try to hold off until the festival comes to an end to make sure that I don't miss anything. It's for your own good, I promise! But in the meantime, here are some red carpet looks from off the French Riviera that worth taking a quick look at.
2012 Billboard Music Awards:
The music industry loves its red carpets and the stars usually provide us with some wild and daring looks worth commenting on. Lil' Kim ring any bells? Surprisingly enough, this year the red carpet looked more like the Oscars with the majority of the looks composed of suits, tuxedos, and floor length gowns with tons of borrowed jewels.
Want to see the original? Arizona Muse was a vision during the Oscar de la Renta Fall 2012 Ready-to-Wear runway show in New York City in this dress last seaon. The headband and jewel-encrusted booties are much different from how Carrie styled her version of the dress. Do you prefer the red carpet or the runway version of this gown?
Fine, these beautiful shoes were worn by Miley Cyrus, but to be honest they were the best part of her outfit. By a long shot.
Disney Media Networks' International Upfront Presentation:
Fine, the carpet is purple, but the concept is the same! 🙂 Cocktail-length dresses rather than floor-length gowns were all the rage at this event, which is always a fun twist. Those of us outside the entertainment and fashion industries probably have fewer occasions in our lives to wear gowns so seeing cocktail dresses can provide us with more inspiration for our personal styles!

I hope that whet your appetites for the upcoming Cannes posts!

November is National Diabetes Month, created to raise awareness of this disease that impacts over 30 million people in the U.S. That's almost 10% of the population. Even more astonishing is that, according to the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases, around 1 in 4 people with diabetes don't even know they have it, and about 84% of Americans over the age of 18 have prediabetes. The good news is that diabetes can either be prevented or managed. This week we're bringing you some valuable resources you can use to do both.
Diabetes is a disease that happens when your blood sugar, or blood glucose, is too high. Having too much glucose in your blood can lead to a host of other health issues, including heart disease, kidney disease, nerve damage, and eye problems. The resources below are all helpful for basic diabetes information, but, more importantly, they can help with living with diabetes, or even preventing it.
American Diabetes Association
This national organization is known for its fund-raising and advocacy for diabetes research, but the American Diabetes Association website also contains recipes and meal plans designed to control blood sugar levels. The site contains lots of information on living with diabetes and managing your lifestyle to keep the disease in check. There is also a 1-800 telephone hotline and live online chat, so you can get your diabetes questions answered quickly.
Centers for Disease Control & Prevention
The CDC diabetes page has information about the National Diabetes Education Program and National Diabetes Prevention Program, along with data and statistics on the disease. Visitors can watch Season 1 and Season 2 of a mini-series with Joan Lunden, that informs viewers on diabetes and prediabetes.
MedlinePlus is the go-to resource for all basic disease information. Their diabetes page contains the latest news, information on the various tests for diabetes, prevention and risk factors, and tips on living with diabetes. Even more helpful are the medical encyclopedia to explain those confusing medical terms, and links to diabetes-related topics.
National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases
The National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services has information on diabetes research and news, clinical trials, statistics, and a variety of topics from diet, eating and physical activity, to preventing diabetes problems.
The title of this open access journal from Florida State University College of Medicine stands for "People Living with and Inspired by Diabetes." Journal articles cover a variety of diabetes-related such tools for adapting to life with diabetes, diabetes education, handling day-to-day life with diabetes, and much more.
If you or someone you love is living with diabetes, we hope you will find these resources helpful. Remember you can also come to the library for help with locating health information, including information on diabetes.

They look at each other. Dilbert says, "Or maybe the service was bad." Wally says, "She didn't smile enough." Alice says, "Same as last week."
