You know the drill, ladies. One link per forum member and a short blurb about why the link is worth a look.

Thank you

As I am looking for a trench right now, and would like to get a "non-basic", colorful trench, I enjoyed this write-up from Vivienne Files on how to find a not-so-classic version of a trenchcoat. Beautiful visuals, too.

I found this blog post about the type of jeans the candidates to the Presidential elections in the US wore hilarious.

I really wanted to link to an article in the Wall Street Journal about how to clean clothing that I found very interesting, especially for those who would like to avoid dry cleaning. However, readers need to be subscribers to read the article. Instead, I found this one on the use of bird prints in fashion almost as interesting and it looks like it doesn't need a subscription. Clicking on the "interactive graphics" will bring up more examples that were in the paper version.

I am a bird watcher and would love a tasteful birdprint in my closet.

I am intrigued by the CSS palette generator. You can upload a favorite picture of oh, say a painting or a landscape and click the generate palette and it neatly gives you the entire palette with light, medium and dark values. Kind of handy for planning a color theme.

Here is the link

I love the way this ombre Zara dress looks moody yet still appropriate for Spring and Summer.

Nobody better than Steph to shine a light down the Middle Path of showing off what you love and using figure advice not to hide yourself but to open new explorations.

This is for the scientists -- 7th graders were asked to draw what a scientist looks like before and after meeting real scientists. I think we need to get out more ;-).

I really enjoyed reading about the fashion show invites Maison Martin Margiela has created throughout the years. Creative, playful, and lots of attention to detail.

I hope I'm not too late to share Simon Doonan's screamingly funny take on the Queen of England's style as she approaches her gala 60th anniversary on the throne. My favorite quote: "The digital renderings of this planned spectacle suggest that whoever has envisioned it might not be the butchest or most hetero person on Earth. We are talking massive amounts of gilt and draped velvet. Think Versace, not Prada, if you know what I mean, and I suspect you do."
