Hi everyone,

I'm curious to see which fab and intriguing stuff you've come across this week. As always, one link per forum member and a short explanation about why you'd like to share.

Thank you.

These people restore or dye weathered and neglected highest quality footwear - mostly men's - and I see they dyed a Chanel bag, too. Blog is in French but it's replete with before and after photos and some mid-process. I was equally intrigued by their skill and the idea of owning something you felt was worth that degree of restoration and plenty of people must.

This is an article on the toxic chemicals found in some clothing. I think they listed Zara as one of the worst for bad chemicals. Some even include known cancer causing chemicals. Interesting, and makes you really think twice about where you buy your clothes from. I'm sure many will be happy to know that H&M is committed to lessening their toxic chemical usage.

Here is an Australian site with a crazy name, "they all hate us", which I like browsing daily. Each post is called a "daily delight"! The bloggers work in the fashion industry and post images of things that inspire them. Great eye candy.

I am late to the party, sorry! This video has been around FOREVER but I just recently found it and I'm obsessed. It is the Eileen Fisher video on how to wear scarves. Of course I love it because it helps me learn to tie my scarves. But the real reason I watch it? Because the woman is completely adorable, and I want her to be my best friend. She just seems so nice.

I already posted this on the forum, but I thought this article was interesting trying to break down style vs. glamour vs. beauty in a Canadian context.

I hope this is not too out of topic but I found this post with the name 'What is your acne telling you' very interesting.Either way I will just share with you.

The idea is that the way your skin looks shows how well you take care of your health, which shows that fashion and beauty can be more than skin deep (pun intended).

Sewingplums took Eileen Fisher's Holiday Tool Kit (http://www.eileenfisher.com/Ei.....ale=en_US/) and translated the pieces for available sewing patterns:

Casual chic festive capsule – tops http://sewingplums.com/2012/11.....sule-tops/

This is my style of sewing - simple patterns in elegant fabrics --"The key to party wear here is to make everyday over-sized casual styles in special fabrics."

You were not too late at all, Atlantia, and thank you for that great link. We actually featured that one a few months back in this Link Love post, so if it's alright with you, I won't repeat it this time. (the model really does look very approachable, doesn't she:-)

If it's not too late for this week, Inge, I liked this tutorial on hemming jeans: http://lifeblessons.blogspot.i.....ength.html

The idea of putting them on inside out at first to pin the excess was really helpful, I thought, because I do struggle with turning up the hems without excessive bunching.

ETA: Whoops! Silly me --- I missed your closing announcement right there at the end. Sorry! Will keep it for next time.
