I'M BACK!.... SNEAK PEAK AT MR GEORGE WU'S COMING COLLECTION.


My dear fashion followers, I am officially back!!!, apologies deary's for the delayed return. For all those who have been enquiring about my whereabouts... one would have assumed my holiday festivities had whisked me away to a fanciful destination... never to return!

I am officially revived, rejuvenated, and reappearing on the fashion scene! xoxo. Seated on my fashion throne.. after a much need feathering down.. after the dust collecting during my absence, I cast my fashion thoughts on something that obviously is only befitting enough to be my first fashion critic tongue review for 2010! Yes... my darlings.. I have my hands on Mr Wu's current collection... yet to be released nationally... but drumming up a whole lot of media hoo ha indeed!

Fashion followers world over, here is the result of a much anticipated and much awaited collection of a master talent in fashion, Mr George Wu, his Autumn/Winter 2010 collection titled 'Indistinct Messenger'.

This design is my favourite!!! the added detailing of accessories oozes a strong defined style. xoxo

We can all recall my last review on Mr George Wu's last collection... so I was eagerly twiddling my fingers to see what he may have conjured up this time.

My fashion tongue declares..... a very distinct and collection indeed!. I really do adore the notion when a designer has the ability to tell us a story through their creations. When they have the unique effortless ability to transport us into a different era...... in this case... Mr Wu, has relived the era of a centuries old novel, "Gulliver's Travels". Yes, my fashion followers, close your eyes and imagine the masculinity of capelets and feminine charms. Bring to life the livelihood of the 18th Century!!!!

Mr Wu's Indistinct Messenger collection definately falls within the category of wearable!!, which I absolutely love. I must make mention, that finally, finally, finally.... someone has introduced the 'capelet' into their collection. I still believe in Winter 2010, the cape effect will replace our cardigans and throw overs. I am still passionately hanging onto the notion that we will see more of highly embellished capes, long, mid and short. xoxo.


Wait with patience my dear fashion followers, Mr Wu's Indistinct Messenger will not be available to drape your fashion forms until February!!!, that's right.. stocking nationally in February... so only a few more weeks of sleeps!!!!

My final opinion???? - such a delight to witness this compelling story of Gulliver's Travels interpreted in a Wu style... mwah xoxo.

Style rating: George Wu -Indistinct Messenger Autumn/Winter 2010 - Bravo ( loving it, air kisses all around) xoxo.

More images below for your fashion delights.

Loving this look indeed: the black and white palette is Wu's signature indeed.

Dream Jobs

HGTV Host/ Travel Channel Host


I've always been a fan of HGTV, and seriously considered applying to Scripps Media fresh out of college. Not sure I would have stood a chance. But it has been a real dream to either work for either HGTV, The Travel Channel, or Food Network.



I have spent countless hours the past couple of months on the couch watching House Hunters, House Hunters International, Property Virigins, The UnSellables, etc, etc. This weekend I began to grow frustrated because I caught mainly repeats. Hmm... maybe that says I've watched way too many.

But one new show stands out as simply amazing. The Outdoor Room with Jamie Durie, Austrailian landscaper, who travels the world to find his inspiration for amazing international landscapes.





HGTV or Travel Channel... please hire me! I promise to be your next new "it" host to travel around the world... searching out quaint international inns.

Maybe I will start with the Travel Channel Academy. Anyone else care to join me?!

Snow Flurries



We are encountering record temps in South Florida... snow flurries in Fort Lauderdale!

Who would of thought?!

Last nights temperatures reached 43 degrees F here, not as bad as the rest of the U.S., but temperatures have not been this low the 80's.

Space heaters have sold out at Lowe's, Home Depot, Target, and Wal-Mart. Luckily, we have a heater, but many homes down here don't. Yikes! Although, this kind of weather should only last a week, that is typically a long time for the tropics.

Hope everyone is having a lovely weekend and staying warm!

New Year & New Beginnings




First of all, I want to apologize for being AWOL the past few weeks. I missed Blog Land and all Blog Pals. I hope everyone had a wonderful holiday and I want to wish everyone a Happy, Healthy & Prosperpous New Year! Thank you to everyone who continued to check on me, and I apologize, I couldn't muster up the motiviation to even boot up my computer. It gathered dust, and I couldn't give it a glance without feeling guilt, nowing that as each day came and went, was another day I failed the blog world. But, I'm back and ready to begin an even better year than last. I look forward to catching up with all friends!

Lots of Blogs Hugs,

Nicolette

Zhou Fan

Zhou Fan - Chinese Contemporary Artist: "A series of my paintings is based on dreams that I had as a child of many many jellyfish floating in the sky, some of which fell to the ground on parachutes and became mushrooms. These dreams had a strong impact on me, and I remember them vividly. Somehow I feel that it is easier to focus on dreams than reality. In one particular painting, there is a boy crying because he keeps things within him, is easily sad, and he refuses to face reality."
