WHAT DOES YOUR HAIRCOLOR SAY?

2011-02-14T15:20:00.000-08:00

"The hair color you choose reflects your personality. Learn what your hair color may be saying about you." an article on Canadian Living website.

For me, here's what they say...
"Recent research indicates that red hair is the rarest hair color in the world, with only about one to two percent of the human population boasting natural titian tresses. Boccia says that redheads are often confident, bold, outgoing and like to be noticed".

THE JOY OF SHOPPING

2011-02-13T15:47:00.000-08:00

"...shopping is about treating yourself and your favorite people to a little beauty, a dab of luxury and loads of appreciation. And it's just plain fun. There's the solitary calm of browsing alone; the bonding experience of trying on outfits with a friend; the triumph of finding a bargain; and the ecstasy of locating perfect gifts for the one you love most."

*excerpt from Everyday with Rachel Ray magazine

SILENT AUCTION FOR MS

2011-02-03T17:22:00.000-08:00

I feel a bit awkward putting this out there – just before Christmas I was diagnosed with M.S (multiple sclerosis). For those who saw me during the spring/summer, the problems I had with my eye were the first signs. I feel fine and am doing great BUT in light of this situation, I would like to do my part to help raise awareness about MS and help with their fundraising.

Did you know that there is an epidemic of MS in Canada in primarily women?

The more we can do to help find a cure and help get the right treatments would be great. My small part in helping - I am planning on participating in the MS Walk in Simcoe on Sunday, April 17th.

Cashmere & Cobwebs is going to be holding weekly SILENT AUCTIONS for the entire month of February with ALL PROCEEDS going to the MS Society of Canada. We will have 5 items up for silent auction beginning Friday, February 4th – ending the following Friday at Noon…then another set of 5 to start Friday, February 11th and so on.

We have selected some of our best items and have the pricing at ¼ of their value – to encourage some great bidding...and great deals for YOU!

If you are able to stop in to bid, that’s fantastic – we will be open each Friday through Monday. If you can’t make it but would like to see what’s up for bid, we will post them here each night – you can send us an email if you’d like to place a higher bid (or you can even give us your maximum so we can bid on your behalf!)

If this isn’t your thing but you’re still interested in supporting MS – you can make a donation at http://msofs.mssociety.ca/2011WALK/Sponsor.aspx?&PID=1249867&L=2

Thank you for your support.

FIVE KEYS TO DRESSING BETTER

2011-01-16T10:20:00.000-08:00

This is an article found in Best Health Magazine (January/February 2011 edition)...

Is Your 2011 Resolution to Dress Better? Here are Five Keys

1. GET A FULL-LENGTH MIRROR - "that way, you can see yourself from all angles and look at the whole outfit", says fashion sytlist Sandra Pittana. "Shoes are as important as the clothes. The whole thing has to come together-it isn't isolated components"

2. EXPERIMENT WITH TEXTURE AND FABRICS - "choose things you love to touch and fabrics that stretch anbd move", says Sandra. "Ruching at the sides (of tops and dresses) is flattering for all women and is a soft way to conceal imperfections. Mix and match! Pair a leather jacket with suede boots; it's more interesting visually."

3. INVEST IN THREE KEY PIECES - You should have a great blazer, a perfect pair of jeans and flattering black pants. "The blazer will allow you to dress an outfit up or down. Choose something that has an interesting lining, so when you turn up the sleeves it will give you a new spin. With jeans, look at where they hit the hips. As for skinny jeans, as long as you aren't carrying weight in your thighs, you can pull off the look. And don't go tight in the hip or you'll end up with a muffin top. If you have weight around the middle, try a higher-waist jean to tuck everything in.

4. DON'T FORGET ACCESSORIES - Belts, scarves and jewellery are central to your wardrobe: "they add variety and individualize an outfit". Take scarves, for example. "Tie a few together - different colours and textures - to wear around your neck and they become the centrepiece of your outfit. You should have a few great belts, too. A $50 belt can make an inexpensive dress look like it cost $500." For something different, attach two skinny belts to each other for a great double-belt look.

5. YOU KNOW YOUR BODY TYPE - In Sandra's opinion, there is no such thing as fashion for all - know what flatters you. "Jeggings (leggings that look like denim) are in - can everyone where them? No. I had a 60-something woman tell me she'd just bought a pair, asking if it was okay to wear them. I looked at her - she clearly looked fit - and said, absolutely! It isn't about age. It's about the health of your body, your self confidence and how clothes look on you".
