Windy Days and Stormy Nights

The weather has been absolutely frightful in my area lately. My heart goes out to all those in the southern States who have lost their lives to the storms that have ripped through their homes. More locally, however, today I want to send my heart out to the family of a community member who recently passed away. Her funeral is today, and the gloomy weather does nothing to ease her family's pain. Even if she may not have realized it herself, Michelle made an impact on many people's lives, and will be greatly missed.

Remembering Elizabeth Taylor

The fashion world has lost an iconic figure today. I was shocked to hear about Elizabeth Taylor's passing. The essence of lady-like femininity and Hollywood glamour, she has served as an inspiration  for many generations. Her vivacious zest for life and unquestionable skill for acting, designing and activism has influenced everyone in some way. I remember doing a project about clothing and appearance from Ancient Egypt in grade 5, and using her role in Cleopatra as my influence. And of course, the smell of my mom's White Diamonds brings me back to my childhood. Even if she led a questionable lifestyle that you may not agree with, I think that we can stop to remember her extensive contributions to charities, culture, and the beauty and fashion world today.
