These are the accessories that can be seen in the recent Donna Karan Fall 2008 Ready-to-Wear collection. The colors themselves are in autumn shades which directly reflects the season where these can be seen. I personally don’t like these earthy tones since I see them as something quite dry, but I like the bags.

This morning we have some inspiration from the 1970’s with this draped goddess gown from VFG member Tangerine Boutique.

Elegant black satin jersey gown from the 1970s. The material has a wonderful drape and I think it is most likely a nylon blend. The dress is sleeveless with spaghetti straps which criss-cross and tie in back.The shirred bodice has a built in bra so a separate bra is not needed. At the waist on the left is a fabric rose. The skirt is is very pretty, it gathers at the waist and wraps around the body finishing in a pretty drape beneath the rose. When you walk it will open just a little to show a bit of leg.

‘Antiaging skin care’ is a very poplar concept in today’s world. Today everyone wants to hide their age using antiaging skin care procedures (and a number of people are successful too). However antiaging skin care is not achieved by any magic potion. ‘Antiaging skin care’ is about discipline. It is about being proactive. Antiaging skin care is retarding the ageing process. Here are a few tips for proactive antiaging skin care:
1. Maintain healthy eating habits: A well balanced diet is the key to maintaining a proper body metabolism. Eat a lot of fruits and vegetables (raw), they are the best source of fibre and have a very refreshing effect on your body. Avoid oily and fatty food; not only do they lack in essential nutrients but also cause obesity and other diseases which aid the aging process

2. Beat stress: This is probably the most important antiaging skin care measure. Stress disturbs the body metabolism and accelerates the aging process. Sleep, exercise and a relaxing bath, are all good ways of beating stress. Aroma-therapy is also known to bust stress.

3. Drink a lot of water: Antiaging skin care can’t be any simpler than this. Water helps in flushing out the toxins from the body, hence keeping it clean and making it less prone to disease. Around 8 glasses of water (per day) is recommended by all doctors.

4. Regular exercise is a wonderful antiaging skin care procedure. Besides toning your muscles, it also helps in cleaning the skin by flushing out the toxins in the form of sweat. Exercise should be followed by a warm shower in order to completely remove the toxins.

5. Avoid the use of strong, chemical based products on your skin. Natural skin care products are a good option. Use of organic skin care products (home made or commercial) can be a very effective antiaging skin care measure.

6. Do not overuse skin care products. Excessive and harsh application, both are harmful.

7. Do not ignore skin disorders; it can lead to permanent skin damage. Try over the counter medication and if that doesn’t help, immediately visit your dermatologist and seek his/her advice.

8. Vitamin C based skin care products are very popular means of antiaging skin care. However, these seem to oxidise very quickly (which makes them harmful for the skin). So store them properly. If the product turns Yellowish brown, it means that vitamin c has oxidised and the prodct is no longer suitable for use.

9. Protect your skin against UV radiation ; UV rays are known to speed up the aging process. So, a good sunscreen lotion should be a part of your antiaging skin care routine.

Designers must have been enchanted by the world of fairies, sprites and nymphs. Glancing at the most recent runway updates, it looks like these mythical creatures were the inspiration for several influential designers in their Spring/Summer 2008 collections.

But beyond the vast expansion of this magical fashion world, Prada stood up among the rest. Miuccia Prada, the “high priestess” of Italian fashion, bowed to evolutionary change and offered a new vision which was all about an imaginary, natural beauty. Her collection for spring/summer 2008 was like a flower fairy fantasy for grown-ups, inspired by the erotic Art Nouveau movement of the 19th century.

In line with the collection, Prada has created a line of limited edition bags with eerie fairies as the motif. They will run from $2290-$2490 depending on the size.

Here are some of the close-up prints:
