The Storm

For some the day will come

When the white clouds seduce

Entering your life with whistles and drums

and sadness is what they produce

They act like a friend

They're there when others are not

They promise they'll be with you to the end

You give them everything you've got

They tell you everything you're not

As time continues they are no longer white

They follow you around

and they block out the light

They become your life

But you have to put up a fight

And things will get better

Your life will be bright

Totally Tantalizing

The main event of the Olympics, Shaun White, isn't going anywhere soon. When you can do a double mctwist 1260 and rock american flag pants who can resist?

Tie Dye Tuesday

Alice + Olivia

Alice+Olivia, created by designer Stacey Bendet is a relatively new collection, being launched in 2002. In these short 8 years the line is worn by celebrities everywhere. Her Spring 2010 Collection is a great representation of contemporary women in North America. Every look is screaming youthful but with an understated sophistication. The designer is evident in the collection, showing her quirky sensibility. This collection is a mix of dark and light, feminine and strong, soft and hard. Using everything from feathers to fur to sequins to leather Stacey is not afraid to take risks, and for her these risks have paid off. Jackets with strong shoulders are a staple in this Fall 2010 RTW collection, as well as sequins dresses and tapered pants. Alice + Olivia definitely equals a winner.

Knitting Maniac

So after learning how to knit (it's easier than it looks!) I've pretty much become an old lady. Officially finished project #2, a simple headband, I am feeling quite good about my new hobby. My next project is the "Whitney headband". Wish me luck!

Medical Term of the Week

Laminectomy : A procedure where the surgeon removes a part of vertebra (lamina) to relieve back pain. When there is a compression, the disk, piece of bone, tumor or other structure is removed to relieve the pressure. The doctor makes a small incision over the targeted vertebra. When the spinal canal is reached after going though the fatty tissue, the bony arch and the ligamentum flavum, the cause of the compression will be visible and can be dealt with.
