Pokemon Go Christmas Event and Updates
Pokemon GO has revealed everything that's coming with their Gen 2 update.
Christmas Event Updates
The Pokemon GO Christmas event details have been seemingly leaked by dataminers ahead of the Gen 2 release and an upcoming announcement from developers Niantic. The update hinted strongly towards a big Christmas event along with a possible 100 new Gen 2 Pokemon for the game. A special Christmas event launched in Pokemon Go this week.
Though, this is not as much as compared to previous holiday events Halloween and Thanksgiving but there is some indication that Niantic may have more on the way. The company said earlier this month that they have a lot of different things in store to be released over the course of December. Niantic on December 7th wrote;
"We're excited for December because we have a few new experiences and in-game events planned for you before wrapping up the year,"
Niantic also announced that limited edition Pikachu would begin showing up wearing a Santa hat.
"We also have another special treat for you. Starting later today through December 29, 2016, 10:00 A.M. PST, you'll find limited edition Pikachu all over the world. These Pikachu will be wearing a festive hat to celebrate the season! Use the Pokémon GO AR camera when you encounter them in the wild to take their picture and share it with us using #HolidayPikachu."
According to The Silph Road, Niantic could make it possible to customise characters with hair, shirts, pants, hats, shoes and more items. Like I said, the previous holiday events put on for Halloween and Thanksgiving offered a lot more than just a festive hat (double amount of candy, double XP and Stardust).
So far, only the new Pokemon and the holiday Pikachu really qualify as new experiences or events, so depending on how you want to interpret their language there, this could suggest there's a more involved Christmas event coming. Niantic has always released details about their major events a few days ahead of time.
Few Tips and tricks to make the most of the Pokemon Go Christmas event
The latest update to the game allows you to transfer multiple Pokemon at once to the Professor. So, you can save a lot of your time because now all you have to do is press and hold a Pokemon to highlight it, then select any others you want to transfer at once.
Niantic recently updated the "Nearby" feature, which appears in the small window on the bottom right of the game screen. A set of footprints also lets you know how close they are (Pokestops). With two more weeks to go until Christmas, players should not get their hopes up yet, who knows what Niantic might be planning.
"Be sure to use the hashtag #PokemonGO on Twitter to share your experiences as you explore your local neighborhoods with family and friends, walk to hatch these Pokémon from Eggs, and register them to your collection this holiday season."
Niantic refers to Christmas Pikachu as a "limited edition" Pokémon, which does suggest that you keep these forever. Santa hat would tell that you participated in the event.
Stay Tuned!

Human reproduction is a very sensitive topic with many boundaries. These boundaries consist of moral and ethical issues which prevent the acceptance of "unnatural" life. Some examples of "unnatural" life include cloning, and In Vitro Fertilization (IVF). The purpose of creating "unnatural" life, or life produced with the help of science, is because some male and females have become, or were from birth, infertile.
Reproductive technologies have been dismissed by many religions, and there is a huge problem of understanding the situation the infertile people have from the main population of fertile people. However, with the increase of people wanting to have children later on in their lives: when they have either become financially stable, after they found an ideal carrier, or after they found a partner, the increase of wanting children when infertile is increasing.
The reason women become infertile with age, is because "Eventually the ovary does not respond to the hormones that mature and release eggs and the woman experiences menopause."
This means, that she seizes to have the monthly routine of ovulation, and because the eggs are present in the woman since birth, as the woman ages, the eggs also age, which causes them to be of lower quality. However, this reason only accounts for 60% of female infertility, and there are still many other reasons.
Some of the reasons why women have problems with infertility can be due to: the oviducts being blocked or twisted, so the sex cells do not meet; the oestrogen hormone not being produced in the ideal amounts, thus making ovulation not occur regularly, and prevents the ova from not ripening in the ovary; the vagina being infected, which does not let sperm to pass through; there may be no present ova in the ovary, making no female gamete; and progesterone...

Throughout history, battles and wars were fought for various reasons. Whether defending one's own territory or invading another's, our history books have no shortage of epic fights from the Crusades to the Second World War.
Of course, it's no surprise victories are won with amazing planning and great leaders. However, there are battles that almost turned sour — despite having legions of soldiers under a general's command — and could have dramatically changed the course of human history. Fortunately for such battles, their fates were decided when the heavens intervened and drastically tip the balance to one side.
Whether it was coincidence or just pure luck, many countries throughout history attribute most of their victories to divine intervention, fuelling their belief that the gods are on their side.
5. The Battle of the Bulge
One of the bloodiest battles during World War II happened in the Belgian town of Bastogne in 1944 where the German army cornered American soldiers in a surprise attack.
12,000 American soldiers were encircled and trapped by the Germans, and it was up to US Third Army Gen George Patton to break the siege and rescue the 12,000 soldiers in Bastogne, promising that he would grease up his tanks with the guts of the Nazi soldiers.
A plan was already in place but, unfortunately for Patton, the weather had been relentlessly unforgiving. For an entire month, torrential rains pounded Belgium, and the chances of Patton's troops marching into Bastogne were slowly being swept away by the waters. All Patton needed to be was 24 hours to send the Third Army to storm the town, rescue the 12,000 soldiers, and tear down the Nazi defenses.
Since no amount of screaming and cursing at the sky could stop the rains, Patton had to resort to an unconventional approach by commissioning Third Army chaplain Col James O'Neill to draft a prayer for him which he then distributed to his troops on wallet-sized cards. For the next few days, Patton ordered his troops to recite the prayer as they waited for the rains to let up.
Whether or not Patton's unorthodox approach worked and summoned the rain gods to stop, the weather cleared, and his troops were given just enough time to break through the Nazi encirclement, save the trapped American troops, and reclaim Bastogne for the Allied forces.
No matter what the opinion is about the events surrounding the Battle of the Bulge, it was undoubtedly one of George Patton's finest hours in the Second World War.
4. The War of 1812
When the fledgling United States declared war against the British in 1812, things could not get any worse, especially after the Americans burned down what is present-day Toronto in Canada as a sign of retribution against the Red Coats.
However, overwhelmed by British forces, the tide seemed to be against the United States when, on August 24th, 1814, the British closed in on Washington DC after breaking through the Americans' last defense at Bladensburg.
With the state of Maryland set ablaze by the British, then President Madison had to flee for safety with the American Constitution and the Declaration of Independence in tow just before British forces stormed the White House, the Capitol, and the Library of Congress, sacking and burning everything in sight.
But, in a sudden twist of fate, the weather began to turn, and one of America's most destructive tornadoes in history touched down in the middle of the battle, wiping out soldiers, civilians, and artillery in its wake.
Upon the sight of the destructive storm, the British had no other choice but to retreat and leave the nation's capital.
The tornado storm scared of the Red Coats, saved America in its most decisive battle, yet left hundreds of Americans either dead or homeless due to its sheer destructive power.
3. The Failed Persian Siege
Greece is no stranger to the occasional invading army and bloody war against neighboring countries. With its trove of knowledge and wealth, the Ancient Greeks have always been one of history's prime targets. Greece's most formidable foe were the Persians.
In 492 BC, Greece came dangerously close to crumbling under the forces of the Persian army. Led by the Persian General Mardonius, Persia's naval fleet was able to sail close to the island of Athos. Fortunately for the people of Athos, Poseidon was on their side. As if on cue, a wild hurricane swept the sea and in the blink of an eye, capsized and destroyed the Persian fleet killing 20,000 soldiers! It was believed Persia's hubris brought this catastrophic end to their fleet. As the weather was already proving fickle when they reached Athos, the rains turned into a full-fledged storm.
While there have been many attempts by the Persians to set foot on Greece by way of the sea, this particular one may have succeeded if not for the winds blowing in favor of the Ancient Greeks.
2. The Protestant Wind
The political relations between Protestant England and Catholic Spain were already turning sour, and if not for the urging of Church leaders during the 16th Century, Spain may have saved herself from utter humiliation.
In one desperate attempt to subjugate Elizabeth I and England, King Philip II of Spain ordered the Spanish Armada to set sail to dethrone Elizabeth and claim the country in the name of the Catholic Church and the Spanish crown.
Despite the fact that Spain was no match for the English naval fleet, they continued to press on, and by the time they reached the English Channel, a storm that seemed to come out of nowhere battered the Spanish Armada, sinking ships and driving the survivors off.
Many from both sides who witnessed the event took the storms as a sign of intervention from God as Spain was pushed back and humiliated by what history dubs as "The Protestant Wind," a sign that Providence greatly favored England and its Virgin Queen.
1. The Divine Wind
If it weren't for a helping hand from the heavens, Japanese culture would never have existed.
In 1247, the Mongol Empire had already conquered one-third of the globe and had cemented their power with one of the most formidable armies the world has ever seen.
As the Mongol army advanced further east unopposed, their next target was bringing down the Japanese Empire and annexing it to their strongholds in China. With inferior weapons and significantly fewer troops, Japan did not stand a chance against Kublai Khan's fierce warriors and their allies.
As the Mongols sailed towards the shores of Japan with Korean allies, Japan sent as many forces as it could muster to defend its seawall. With what seems to be a losing battle, fortune turned its head towards Japan as the Mongol fleet sensed a storm brewing fast.
True enough, two typhoons came to the rescue of the Japanese Empire and decimated Kublai Khan's rapidly advancing fleet.
The violent tempest, dubbed the Kamikaze or Divine Wind by the Japanese, left 13,000 soldiers dead and the remaining Mongol ships were sent fleeing back to Chinese shores.
Talk about having the Wrath of God rain down upon you, right? But whether or not these events had the heavens directly involved in their historical outcomes, the one most certain thing is that the world could have been a far different place if fate had turned the other way.

Tomek Rygalik
SoundRoom designed by Tomek Rygalik is an original and innovative system of office furniture. It comprises a range of complementary solutions which make it possible to compose a landscape of the contemporary office with a focus on spatial and acoustic aspects. SoundRoom integrates an innovative acoustic panel technology with the sound-diffusing geometry drawing on solutions that are used in recording studios. The systemic design consisting of a variety of mobile acoustic screens makes it possible to deliver an array of functionalities required for work, and to create an architectural context for furniture.
NOTI's SoundRoom is designed for open office spaces which make use of ICT technologies and new systems for organizing work and rest. Aside from business-oriented buildings, the system is also suitable for official institutions, libraries or public facilities focused on meetings, team work and creative activities.
This collection is an intelligent system of supporting workers in the management of working time and specific workplace tasks. The concept of personalized furniture dedicated to different work zones takes into account all working needs from the viewpoint of architecture, investment and business. Itoffers an opportunity to freely define different work spaces and conditions, which has a significant positive effect on quality and performance, fosters good relations between workers and produces a range of benefits for the enterprise over a long-term perspective. This is because acoustic comfort achieved with SoundRoom is necessary to perform working tasks reliably and without errors, and ensures undisturbed exchange of information and successful communication. Screen walls and small "oases" make it possible to physically separate oneself from co-workers, and provide privacy in the workplace. Users are free to create for themselves formal and informal spaces for working and resting. Companies are able to arrange areas for creative or analytical teams, depending on current needs, and to model job-related clusters within buildings. Work teams have access to a virtually unlimited number of possibilities to set up spaces for individual and team work, comfortable meetings and concentration.
A unique feature of SoundRoom is the use of light polyester felt. The non-woven fabric covers on both sides a honeycomb-shaped cardboard core with hexagonal cells. The resulting element, produced in the process of thermoforming, is a lightweight, extremely rigid and visually attractive panel which is pleasant and warm to the touch. The panels have a characteristic wavy shape on the inner side and are flat on the outer side.
As the panels are covered with a layer of felt, pale or dark grey in colour, there is no need for extra upholstery. Textures and fabric colours included in the NOTI contract sample book are only available for armchair and sofa seats and backrest, shelves and the inside of phone booths. The fabrics perform an additional acoustic function.
The furniture system is distinctive for the use of five basic elements (panels) which are unified with respect to dimensions and design, allowing for easy configurability of all types of furniture. The flexible elements offer an opportunity to arrange the office interior with the use of armchairs, sofas, desks, partition walls and phone booths.
The five basic structural elements are a guarantee that every new SoundRoom configuration is lightweight, mobile, easy to rearrange and safe in use.
The high acoustic quality of the SoundRoom system has been confirmed in tests conducted by the AGH University of Science and Technology (Faculty of Mechanical Engineering and Robotics, Department of Mechanics and Vibroacoustics) in Cracow for compliance with the standards:
ISO 354:2005 [Measurement of sound absorption in a reverberation room], which determines the acoustics class.
ISO 10053:2001 [Measurement of office screen sound attenuation under specific laboratory conditions], which determines noise reduction.
TOMEK RYGALIK, born in 1976 in Lodz.
Designer, lecturer, curator.
He studied Architecture and Town Planning at Politechnika Lodzka and Industrial Design at Pratt Institute in New York (BA/Hons).
After a few years of work for design companies in the US he undertook studies at the Royal College of Art in London (MA), where, after gaining a diploma, he became a research worker.
Until today he has received numerous international awards and many of his products have been implemented.
He co-operates, among others, with Moroso, NOTI, Profim, Ideal Standard, Siemens, Heineken, Ikea. He runs a design workroom at the Department of Industrial Design of the Arts Academy and Studio Rygalik in Warsaw. His designs were presented at numerous exhibitions, i.e. in Berlin, London, Milan, Munich, New York, Tokyo and Valence. Tomek also implements a number of projects for cultural institutions in Poland and abroad.
For NOTI he designed Termo collection, outdoor or upholstered Tulli armchairs awarded with Red Dot Design Award 2016, Mamu chairs and acoustic furniture system - SoundRoom.

CDC issues final opioid prescribing guidelines for adults with chronic pain
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention today finalized its guidance for primary care physicians prescribing opioids to adults for chronic pain in outpatient settings. The voluntary guidelines summarize scientific knowledge about the effectiveness and risks of long-term opioid therapy, and provide recommendations for when to initiate or continue opioids for chronic pain; opioid selection, dosage, duration, follow-up and discontinuation; and assessing risk and addressing harms of opioid use. They do not apply to cancer, palliative or end-of-life care. "Too many families have experienced devastating loss due to a loved one's addiction to opioids," said AHA President and CEO Rick Pollack. "That's why the need for sound clinical guidance is urgent and we appreciate the CDC's leadership on this critical public health issue. The more we can do at every turn to help patients with safe, effective pain management – which could include the proper use of opioids – the better we can stem the tide of the opioid abuse epidemic. The AHA strongly supports this new guidance and will share it with all hospitals to ensure appropriate strategies are used to help manage pain and minimize the risk of addiction."

Comprehensive cancer treatment means access to top-notch specialists, the right tools, choices, and support. Southwestern Vermont Regional Cancer Center (SVRCC) has all of these and more. The SVRCC is accredited by the American College of Surgeons Commission on Cancer, a distinction granted to only the top 25 percent of cancer centers nationwide.
Partnership is Powerful Medicine: SVRCC and Dartmouth-Hitchcock
The care you receive at the SVRCC is enhanced through an affiliation with the Dartmouth-Hitchcock, home of one of only three National Cancer Institute-Designated comprehensive cancer centers in New England. This link offers you access to some of the most advanced specialty services available anywhere. For instance, genetic counseling allows families to make the best treatment decisions, sometimes before cancer even appears. A specialized telemedicine link connects SVMC oncologists and their patients with specialists at Dartmouth-Hitchcock to the benefit of every patient at the Southwestern Vermont Regional Cancer Center.
The Whole Picture
Being in the top 25 percent requires a comprehensive approach, and our patients are treated from every perspective. Starting with education and prevention and continuing through diagnosis, pretreatment evaluation, treatment, research, rehabilitation and monitoring, a complete range of services ensures that our patients have every advantage. We offer the latest in digital imaging technology, including a specialized Women's Imaging Center, medical oncology, and radiation oncology.

Did you ever wonder what to do with that extra eyelet in your running shoe? It's actually a very cool feature.
First and foremost, it's there to help lock your heel in place which is great for preventing blisters and injury to your ankle during long runs or walks.
Second, it holds your laces in place so they won't untie as easily. The less bending over, the better! lol..
Here's a quick video on how to lock and load your laces like a champ.
I use this move all the time!

Title: The Meryl Streep Movie Club
Author: Mia March
Published: Simon and Schuster UK July 2012
Synopsis: Welcome to The Three Captains. A charming bijou guesthouse on the Maine coast which is a haven of calm for guests and owners alike. When Lolly summons home her nieces, Isabel and June – one recovering from a broken heart, the other struggling to bring up her young son singlehandedly – they assume she's going to sell The 3 Cs, the place they called home after they lost their parents in a car accident. But the truth is much more heartbreaking than that. Along with Lolly's daughter Kat – also at a crossroads in her life – the women spend their first summer together in years and home truths and long-buried secrets begin to emerge. Then movie buff Lolly invites her three offspring to attend her legendary movie nights and what at first seems like a few hours of distraction from their tumultuous lives becomes so much more. What they discover shakes them to the core, brings them together after years of discord, and provides them with the inspiration that they need to truly connect with each other and find happiness

My Thoughts:
Author Mia March is a self confessed, life long fan of Meryl Streep and her debut novel is in part a tribute to the accomplished actress but even if you are not a fan of her movies you are sure to enjoy this warm hearted story.
Sisters Isabel and June return to the Maine bed and breakfast they grew up in after the death of the parents, at the request of their Aunt Lolly who has something important to share with them. For Isabel, who has just discovered her husband's affair, and single mother June, who is unexpectedly unemployed and homeless, the timing proves provident, though both are reluctant to spend too much time in the company of their aunt and her daughter, Kat, or each other. However Lolly's shocking announcement, and nights spent watching Meryl Streep movies together, prove to be the catalyst that allows the four women to set aside their differences and share their lives.
This is character driven contemporary women's fiction, with each protagonist, Kat, Isabel and June facing challenges in their personal lives. Kat has agreed to marry her childhood sweetheart but isn't sure she is doing the right thing, Isabel has discovered her husband is having an affair and June's son desperately wants to meet the father he never knew. Lolly, who raised all three girls on her own after the death of her husband, sister and brother-in-law in a tragic car accident is coming to terms with her life's regrets as death approaches. Each woman must work through the pain and uncertainty of the decisions they have made in the past and the options they have for the future. March develops credible characters with believable issues that readers can relate to while exploring the themes of love, heartbreak, grief and regrets.
The author's use of Meryl Streep movies to prompt discussion among her protagonists is a clever idea. Meryl Streep certainly has a comprehensive and impressive filmography, and March chooses those films which complement the themes of this novel. Together the foursome, along with Lolly's long time housekeeper and random B&B guests, watch The Bridges of Madison County, It's Complicated, Mamma Mia. Out of Africa and a host of other movies featuring the actress that sparks new insight into the problems they are facing and the decisions they must make. It also encourages them to open up to each other and grow closer with the exchange of secrets, fears and dreams.
I really enjoyed The Meryl Streep Movie Club, it is an easy, engaging story with enough substance to ensure it is also a satisfying read. I see a Meryl Streep movie marathon in my near future.
Do you have a favourite movie featuring Meryl Streep – Mamma Mia is mine!

These stories were, without a doubt, some of the best we've heard all year. I think some of the credit is due to the organizer I provided for students, but most of it is due to the source book itself. In introducing Otto Grows Down, I told students, "We're using this as a mentor text." We then discussed what that term meant, and this discussion led to students listening to the read-aloud with a very different, very focused goal in mind.
In short, our lesson proceeded in this manner:
- We read and discussed the book. We also took some time to compare and contrast it with other time travel books and movies we know. We also discussed what the creators chose to include or leave out, and their possible reasons for that.
- We projected the What If... writing form on our interactive whiteboard, and parsed out the story in simpler terms. This "deconstructing" helped students understand the story structure more clearly, in preparation for creating their own.
- Students looked over a brief list of What If... prompts, and then chose either one from that list or one of their own.
- Students completed the prewriting sheet, and then shared with two partners. Partners helped clarify plot points, and also offered other ideas for inclusion.
- Drafting began, and students again paired up and shared and critiqued after about fifteen minutes.
- Following another writing session, volunteers read aloud to the class and heard some comments from their peers.
What's great about writing like this is that students who are extremely creative can really take off! Those who struggle not only have periodic check-ins with peers (and with me, whenever needed), but they can also consult the picture book itself. Many students, in fact, reread the book as they were working in order to get a feel for the voice, sentence length, paragraphing, and so on.
So again, I recommend you grab this title for yourself! Joni from South Dakota, however, won't need to: she's our Otto Grows Down giveaway winner! Congrats to Joni! Hope the hand-out helps your students to create some phenomenal stories!
Have other What If... favorites? We'd love to hear about them! Leave a comment below, or email me directly.
UPDATE: Author Michael Sussman checked in to say thanks for the mention. Be sure to check out his Otto Grows Down site; one particularly cool page is Thoughts on Time, which contains a nice poem on time, written by the author.

MathWorks Introduces Sensor Fusion and Tracking Toolbox
Company extends MATLAB workflow to help engineers design, simulate, and analyze systems fusing data from multiple sensors.
January 3, 2019
MathWorks introduced Sensor Fusion and Tracking Toolbox, which is now available as part of Release 2018b. The new toolbox equips engineers working on autonomous systems in aerospace and defense, automotive, consumer electronics and other industries with algorithms and tools to maintain position, orientation and situational awareness. The toolbox extends MATLAB based workflows to help engineers develop accurate perception algorithms for autonomous systems.
Engineers working on the perception stage of autonomous system development need to fuse inputs from various sensors to estimate the position of objects around these systems. Now, researchers, developers and enthusiasts can use algorithms for localization and tracking, along with reference examples within the toolbox, as a starting point to implement components of airborne, ground-based, shipborne and underwater surveillance, navigation and autonomous systems. The toolbox provides a flexible and reusable environment that can be shared across developers. It provides capabilities to simulate sensor detections, perform localization, test sensor fusion architectures and evaluate tracking results.
"Algorithm designers working on tracking and navigation systems often use in-house tools that may be difficult to maintain and reuse," says Paul Barnard, marketing director—Design Automation, MathWorks. "With Sensor Fusion and Tracking Toolbox, engineers can explore multiple designs and perform 'what-if analysis' without writing custom libraries. They can also simulate fusion architectures in software that can be shared across teams and organizations."
Sensor Fusion and Tracking Toolbox includes:
- algorithms and tools to design, simulate and analyze systems that fuse data from multiple sensors to maintain position, orientation and situational awareness;
- reference examples that provide a starting point for airborne, ground-based, shipborne, and underwater surveillance, navigation, and autonomous systems;
- multi-object trackers, sensor fusion filters, motion and sensor models, and data association algorithms that can be used to evaluate fusion architectures using real and synthetic data;
- scenario and trajectory generation tools;
- synthetic data generation for active and passive sensors, including RF, acoustic, EO/IR, and GPS/IMU sensors;
- system accuracy and performance standard benchmarks, metrics, and animated plots; and
- deployment options for simulation acceleration or desktop prototyping using C-code generation.

Originally introduced to the United States from Asia in the late 1800s, knotweed has since spread across the country, and is now present throughout the Pacific Northwest. The main species of invasive knotweed are Bohemian knotweed (Polygonum x bohemicum), Japanese knotweed (P. cuspidatum), and giant knotweed (P. sachalinense). All invasive knotweed species are Washington State Class B Noxious Weeds. Control is required in Snohomish County.
Knotweed is a shrub-like plant that grows in dense patches 6-12 feet tall. Its stems are smooth and hollow, resembling bamboo. Leaves are large, bright green and spade-shaped, with smooth edges. Small, whitish-green flowers appear in upright sprays during July and August. Although knotweed is dormant in winter, the dry, reddish-brown stems often remain standing. Knotweed is most often found in moist, open areas like stream banks and roadway ditches, but can also be present in forests, parks, backyards, and farms.
A massive root system and rapid, early spring growth allows knotweed to effectively outcompete most other plants. Root systems can spread 20 feet from the parent plant and penetrate up to 7 feet into the soil. Root and stem fragments as small as ½" can form new plant colonies. Cut or broken stems or roots will resprout if left in moist soil or water. Most often, knotweed spreads when roots or stems are moved by seasonal floods or contaminated soil.

Under the attack of the chic shell in spring and summer fashion of 2015, the clever way to be in fashion is starting from the accessories if you are not rich enough. A pair of flat shoes, a IT bag, belt and a pair of fashion earrings, all of those item are the accessories that with high usage rate as well the necessary fashion items to show texture. Therefore, when you are observing the prevailing trends of this season, the significant of the details should not be neglected.
Believe it or not, the flats are here to stay! As it is widely known that the heels become to decline little by little in the fashion world, so every season we could see the different styles of shoes which hold your impulse and rush to the shoes that the models wearing. From the casual style to the jewelry accent shoes, you could wear them high-profile publicity.
Good news, the vintage fans could feel free to wear those rock thick platforms heels which could be the lethal weapon after putting off. Particular in the spring and summer series presentation of Saint Laurent, the rock and roll girls file out, the classic black and red collocation, golden, leopard print will be eye-catching items.
After sweep around the world for several seasons, the mini bag is fading in the fashion world gradually, instead, the IT bag is running rampant nationwide.
As for the earrings, the small accessory like Full Rhinestone Balls Earrings should be more display in the new season! If you are fond of fall's single-earrings trend as much as we did, then the new spring collections will bigger, better, sparklier things to play with!
