The Latest Fashion Statement
Fouta has been named by the media, the multi-talented towel!!! Indeed it fits everywhere and everyone: you can wear it, use it, decorate your home with or set your table, with Fouta as a tablecloth when you feel whimsical and creative. You can find the irresistible towels on line and the best specialty stores from coast to coast.
With Fouta you really can let your creativity fly with style, there are so many patterns to choose from. I went on a shopping spree and I chose many. Some to wear at the beach the way you would wear a pareo or a sarong. Some to wear as a shawl or a long scarf. Some to decorate my home (and found out that a very famous magazine has had the same idea…).
Some I am using in my bathrooms, their absorbency and lightness make them so easy to handle they are a delight, and some just to throw on the lounge chairs around the pool. One thing I particularly love about them: after your guests have left, you wash and dry them in no time an can pile them up for the next party.
I did some research and found out that the media was absolutely gaga over the Fouta, they were picked as the “10 Must Have” items, by a trend expert magazine, this summer. Last but not least, celebrities are being spotted everywhere wearing a Fouta from Miami to Mexico and from LA to St Tropez you can see them everywhere and worn by everybody: I guess I am in good company.
Commemorative Photo Treatments
Whether a person is an amateur or professional photographer, there are many different ways to share and remember moments captured in pictures. Traditional methods people use to catalog their photos include organizing them into albums and making notes
about favorite prints. With the digital photo revolution, there are many new ways to digitally matte pictures and display them in digital picture frames. Most people start by simply loading their pictures into an electronic frame, and playing them back in a rotating sequence using the various special effects included in the frames to transition between the various shots. If you are bored with looking at passing images, give your pictures new life by using a commemorative approach.
The idea of using digital picture frames to accomplish something different than traditional methods began to grow and expand for me in a wide variety of ways. I wanted more from my picture frame content than just filling it up with images of varying interest and importance to me. Having worked for years in various forms of technology, I started thinking about how digital picture frames could lead to new trends in showcasing my own valuable images in ways that others might also be able to appreciate. Moving forward, I thought about the idea of television as it is today. Televisions are sold on the basis of what they can do to enhance the audio and visual experience of the owner, but the power of television is not so much in what gadgets they have as the ideas associated with what they are used to project.
I began to experiment with various forms of enhancing photos to include commemorative prose, photo matting, and treatments that raise the importance of my photos, and help me to find an avenue to share my experiences with others. As a fledgling idea, commemorative photo treatments adds a new dimension to showcasing my most important events, impressions, and locations involved with what makes an image valuable to me. Of course it does not hurt to be able to utilize these techniques in a commercially available arena which allows me to share this interesting approach with others who might also be inspired with their own ideas.
Lehenga – The Traditional Indian Dress
What is a the story of Lehenga?
Lehenga is a garment that is draped around your waist. Let us say like a skirt. However it is normally ankle length. It gets its early origin from the Moghul period. When the Mughals invaded and India and conquered it, the queens of the period used to wear a long skirt type of thing known as lehenga accompanied with a choli and duppatta and decked up with heavy jewelry. It was then considered to be a dress of high society for the queens.
The girls, women of those days used to wear lehengas as their daily wear clothes like we wear jeans and t-shirts! But later on with the development in the fashion world, it became more of a fashion statement for girls and women, but this attire has largely been left for special occasions. But even in villages nowadays also, women and young girls are found wearing lehengas in their daily life.
It is a very elegant garment and is usually worn along with a dupatta (say like a stole or a shawl) and a choli (like a shirt or a top). Indian women wear many kinds of clothes and they range from the sari to slawar kameez. However Lehenga holds a special place in these garments.
With the world becoming global, the traditional Indian attires have been applauded through out the world. With our fashion designers making the borders of countries dissolve, the traditional Indian dresses are now even worn across the borders.
