SUBFUSCO FEMME: REVIEW COMING SOON..................

Much apologies to those who have asked whereabouts is the Subfusco Femme collection review?..... all I can say.. is that.... it's coming, it's coming......

It simply just doesn't take a quick look over at the pretty pics to pen a review..... one is required to do further research... zoom in, zoom out...read the inspiration.. the story... and then read between the lines, over the lines under the lines... and nut out any intentions or 'no' intentions.

Then do a bit of a research bio read on the label, designer and team.

Yes Fashion followers... it's more than just saying it! xoxo.

So I promise by next week... the world shall see the Subfusco Femme collection and the thoughts of Madam Ae. xoxo.

ANYBODY IN THE FASHION INDUSTRY??: PLEASE READ.

Finally the fashion industry of Australia is given a standing ovation and accolades for its input for the fashion conscious!!!!

I stumbled across a great fashion article...which I recommend for all fashion industry honcho's to have a quick read over!!!xo.

In a nutshell, the article.. fronted by the loud thoughts of a very involved American fashion and technologically savvy individual: Yuli Ziv. She basically embraces the subject of the 'changing face of fashion'... and how the fash. industry is having the biggest shake up it will ever experience! Evolution, Revolution... destitution????? maybe??? for the fashion industry?? ( I don't think so).

Blah Blah Blah... she then goes on to make a very much needed mention to the fashion events of Australia!!, She says quote :"Perhaps we could learn from Melbourne Fashion Festival, Australia' largest public consumer and retail driven fashion event, happening every year to get the general public excited about fashion and shopping. Pieces shown on Melbourne runways are available for immediate purchase, making the shows a very effective marketing tool. ( To find out what let to this praising comment... go to www.yuliziv.com/2010/01/17/the-future-of-fashion-seasons-are-so-last-season)

Ms Yuli goes on to present very sound facts and opinions about the dramatic changes within the fashion industry within the bigger players.... how season collections will apparently no longer be viable and drift into extinction! This could be a wonderful piece of prophetic thought!!!, what a dream for some designers... less season productions... more just designing from the whim of your heart whatever you feel everyone should be wearing regardless of the season.

Anyway... I absolutely love this article....anybody in their right mind.. find this a hearty bit of fashion worthy text!

Just sharing this with you....xoxo.

Good Eats Wednesday

Donuts

It doesn't get any better.

Recipe from Paula Dean via Food Network- HERE.

A little virtual treat for you.

You know you want to.

Go on...

Take one.

When I was zipping through the grocery store this weekend, and I mean Zipping! Trying to get in and out as fast as possible. You know when your sick... no makeup, a red runny nose, watery eyes, chapped lips and nose, wearing sweats with hair in a bun, and everyone is staring at you when you sneeze. Sorry people... gotta eat. Well I did something I hadn't done in years, especially trying to maintain the Gluten Minimal Diet... yes... I picked up a Big Box of Entenmann's Devil's Food Cake Donuts.

Oh boy... yum.

Nothing like losing weight when your sick from the Tea and Donut Diet. ;)

Bon appetit!

MLK Day

On this 3 day weekend, I spent a few days sick in bed. So, I got caught up on many episodes of The Office. One of my favorite shows. I Heart Dwight Shrute.

Desperate to get some fresh air I saw an early showing of The Lovely Bones.

And drank lots of tea from my new Keurig machine I got for Christmas.  :)

Hope everyone had a great weekend!
