The Scarf .....

So this week I am doing a Damart Challenge .... I want to make you think again about shops you would not usually shop at and show you how you can find great pieces from stores you never thought were right for you! Damart has some great key pieces, which when mixed in with your basics can create on-trend outfits ....

I am starting with scarves which are a perfect accessory for every season and can easily transform any outfit. Quickly forget those short scarves, the latest trend are oversized ones loosely draped.

Today I wearing a Striped Scarf from Damart which I have teamed a White Vest and Jeggings from H & M .......

Lindsay Lohan is only one of the long list of celebrities who are fans of the oversized scarf.

bleach episode 324


Episode 324 :

Profile | Ken Williams


Ken Williams (Arapaho/Seneca) was born into the beadwork tradition. His early years were spent on his father's Seneca reservation in NY where he started observing and experimenting with beadwork. As a teenager, he spent time with his mother's family, master beadworkers themselves, at the Wind River Reservation in Wyoming. Here he began to take on bigger, more complex projects. While at IAIA, he was mentored by Teri Greeves and began to develop his own style which mixed a contemporary aesthetic with traditional beadwork. Ken now focuses mostly on fancy bags of all sizes and shapes, each a beautiful creation with its own story to tell.

HEARTBREAKER, YOUR TIME HAS COME, CAN'T TAKE YOUR EVIL WAYS

A post dedicated to the ultimate rock n' roll heroes of all time. A band that never gets old. You never get tired of rocking out to Led Zeppelin. The perfect band for listening to whilst getting ready, whilst going on a drive or whilst preparing for a gig, or if you just fancy a bit of classic rock n' roll. Their music set the scene for many metal/hard rock bands in the future, as their music was way ahead of their time. Whilst other bands of the early seventies were playing folk music and progressive rock, Led Zeppelin created a music never heard before, 'hard rock', but at the same time, it was still influenced by early blues musicians. They made themselves famous not only for their music, but for their reputation for being the epitomy of 'rock n' roll' and notorious sex villains, after groupies had kiss & told about them. Especially the stories about Jimmy Page and his suitcase full of leather whips which still gives me the shivers after reading about it all in their Hammer of the Gods biography and Pamela Des Barres' books. Jimmy Page alone is a fascinating person, someone with lots of mystique about him (apparently being a satanist), and Robert Plant purely for that voice & his medieval sorcerer looks. I am slowly getting into a Led Zeppelin phase again through listening to Heartbreaker this morning after an off few months and itend to keep it this way.

Top 5 Zeppelin songs:
1. The Battle of Evermore (medieval, haunting, Paganistic lyrics with Sandy Denny from Fairport Convention)
2. When the Levee Breaks (slow, dreary Mepmhis Minnie blues)
3. Heartbreaker (a song that sums them up as rock n' rollers)
4. Boogie With Stu (good for a dance)
5. Black Dog (another rock n' roll classic)

5 facts about Led Zeppelin you may or may not know:
1. They were all Pagans, particularly Plant & Page.
2. Supposedly Jimmy Page's black magic interest & practice caused the death of John Bonham & various other negative incidents.
3. Supposedly if you play Stairway to Heaven backwards it is chanting for the devil, this was meant on purpose.
4. Led Zeppelin originally called themselves 'the new Yardbirds' for their first tour, mainly due to Jimmy Page's earlier work with the Yardbirds.
5. Led Zeppelin deliberately mis-spelled the first part of their name so that American's could pronounce it without mistake.
