All Cotton Dye it Yourself Scarf for Sale on Etsy

I am finishing up a crochet scarf, all cotton. If you follow my blog you know all the wonderful ways you can dye cotton.  Or maybe you would just use it in winter white like I would.  Get it now at my shop on Etsy.  When the scarf is finished - approximately three days from now - the price will go up. Look at the beautiful flower motif. Shop Etsy for handmade items or open your own shop to sell your designs.

Holiday Party Hair

What ever will you do with you hair for the holiday festivities?  From sleek, straight Asian to thick, natural African hair and anything in between the following dos will work. Add length if you choose with extensions or a homemade ¾ wig!  The final look will look very different on each head depending on your hair's texture and thickness.  Use styling gel, mousse or hairspray. Maybe even your usual hairdo will work for as a party hairstyle. Just add a few sparkles and you are ready to go! (Click on the YouTube logo beneath each video to make it larger.)

Elizabeth Taylor Auction at Christies through Friday

Gingham is in for Spring 2012!

Elizabeth Taylor's jewelry grossed an incredible $115,000,000 yesterday at Christie's Auction House - and the sale is not over yet! Although the necklace known as "La Peregrina" given to her by twice husband Richard Burton sold for 11.8 million - setting a world record - you will find that some of the items at the online only auction are quite reasonable.  Taylor's 1970s gingham skirt by Valentino for example is only 300 dollars at the time of this post. Until Friday you have a chance to obtain items once owned by Elizabeth Taylor either by attending the live auctions at Christies or by bidding on items through the online auction.  Don't delay; view her designer jewelry, clothing, accessories, interior decor and memorabilia. Perhaps you will venture to make a bid to own a piece of American movie star history, or at least some of Liz' belongings that didn't quite make it to the big tag sale. A portion of the proceeds from the Auction will be donated to the Elizabeth Taylor AIDS Foundation.

Liz' style was hit or miss. 

Spring already?

Well, if you live in the Southern hemisphere this article is actually past due.  It is almost summer there.  For the rest of you here is what you have to look forward to in a few months. Good news though.  It looks like we don't have to be slaves to fashion anymore.
