"Okay my love, I will see you tonight," he said. He pulled me close once more, and sealed our parting with another kiss. I then watched him venture outside of the penthouse. After Sebastian departure, I felt at that moment, I was Julie Andrews from the "Sound of Music". I felt sinfully happy, as my emotions had me collapsing back onto the sofa, going through fits of laughter. When I recovered, I called the girls up. I want to dish about Sebastian, and those beautiful words he uttered to me last…
When you ask ones own personal definition of beauty, one might say “Pleasing to the human eye.” Society’s definition of beauty is most commonly perceived through appearance. Our society constantly changes the requirements or extends the definition and the meaning of the word ‘beauty’. American beauty fades away every few decades and turns into something new and iconic. Women in the 20’s turned the original “no skin showing’ beauty to a promiscuous new style. Likewise, women in the 70’s turned…
Once upon a time, there lived a thing called subculture; these were music and fashion orientated groups that contravened the mainstream culture. Whilst the Mods zipped around on their Lambrettas and Vespas, the leather coated rockers drove about on their self-modified motorbikes. These two rival groups engendered a major conflict in 1960s Britain, meanwhile the nonconforming, flower-wearing hippies across the pond demanded that the troops were withdrawn from the Vietnam War. There were skinheads…

colors. In the summer, women wore halter neck tops, shirts with spaghetti straps, or Hawaiian print tea timer shirts. The midriff could be shown, if it was above the belly button and below the ribcage. In this time of history, the female version of a men’s buttoned shirt rose to popularity. Teenage girls would do housework in their father’s old shirts, inspiring the trend to tie the shirt at the bottom and leave the top buttons undone. This type of shirt was also worn tucked in, or sleeveless…
Perhaps the most unorthodox wedding dress on this list, Kaley decided to ditch the classic white and go with a rich, purple-pink hue. It’s one we — and her husband — won’t soon forget. Solange Knowles After spending her career being upstaged by her more famous sister, Beyonce, Solange seems to have taken her wedding day as an opportunity to express herself. In a relatively simple cream colored dress (aside from the flowing “wings” connecting her shoulders to her thighs)…
A black, almost new, suit stood on a mannequin in the window. I practically ran to the counter in excitement. I couldn’t let anyone get to this before me. The price added up to about $56 after I added a tie, some socks, and a nice enough pair of dress shoes to the mix. Proudly, I drove home to admire my new…
During 1800-1820, women in Europe always carry a small handbag called reticule, with a drawstring at the top. Originally, reticules served as the function of pockets as the silhouettes of women’s gown was getting narrower. Thus, I think women from every class could use the reticules for carrying their belongings. Reticules could be made from all kinds of fabrics. However, upper-class and wealthier women always carried the reticules made from silk or velvet decorated by embroidery and beading…
At first glance, many observations can be made from the clothing one wears. The fit, the style, and the color all contribute to what identity one presents to the world. In “Clothes” by Chitra Banerjee Divakaruni, different garments represent the different cultures Sumita inhabits. Her saris, colorful and flowing, hold deep significance in her homeland and are worn during monumental and ceremonial moments. On the other hand, the tight and mundane American clothes demonstrate a more casual and…
the 1960s by a man named Michael Vasilantone. The machine he created was called the rotary multicolor garment screen-printing machine and is now the most popular method of screen-printing. T-shirt printing is so popular that it accounts for over half the screen-printing industry in the nation. While t-shirt printing takes the majority of the marketplace, there are still many designers producing design pieces via screen-printing (A Brief History Of Screen…
