The rough and in some areas smooth, texture of the cords intrigued me. The smell of mass produced hemp tempted me every time I visited a craft store. Being also that I love beads of all kinds, this was, and still is, a never ending story for me. Some may say that hemp jewelry is a thing of the past, for druggies, or just so overdone that it is not special any more. I would have to disagree, because with the newest color variations of cording and how bold designers are becoming with their creations, the possibilities are endless.<br />
<br />
I have found a few shops on Facebook that I enjoy browsing in my spare time. The first one is <a href="https://www.facebook.com/pages/HempKnotic-jewelry/224826130907754" target="_blank">Hemp~Knotic! jewelry</a>. Michelle Najarro creates one of a kind pieces that are colorful and eye catching. She pays attention to nice design detail and has something for everyone. Her range of work goes from very simple, to very intricate, and her prices are great.<br />

Interestingly, I just stumbled across this page: <a href="https://www.facebook.com/highonhemp" target="_blank">High on Hemp</a>, on Facebook. My favorite design elements by this company are the encased crystals and semi-precious gemstones in hemp work nets, for pendants, and the nice use of cord colors and beads that contrast well.<br />

Learn the ways of the claw with the fanatically interesting book, <i>Cat Lady Chronicles</i> by Diane Lovejoy. Be engrossed with bold and colorful cat images, featuring fine artists from around the world, while learning about a true story of a wonderful woman, that found a new meaning in life with her rescued cats.<br />

<br />
My favorite part of the book is when the author mentions, while realizing she is who she is, that there are more important things in life, than material possessions.<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
"Who am I?" I still carry the Ferragamo tote bag I bought more than a decade ago and acquire affordable antiques for our historic home. It's hard to resist material temptations. But when it comes to the "It" item in my life, it is the interconnections with Lucius, Lydia, Leo, Linus, L.B., Alvar, Lillie, T.J., Perkins and Miss Tommie. Connectivity means much more to me than a command center for communications, a site for bundling electronic interactions. People, pets, art and books enrich our spirits and fuel our lives." (Lovejoy 152)</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
In chapter eight, Lovejoy reminds us, "...if you are inclined to feed stray cats on a regular basis, ...buy trousers or shorts with deep pockets,...." She notes that she is, "...prepared to feed a hungry cat anytime." (Lovejoy 113)</div>

I like "The Top Ten.." sections, but they could have left out the top ten party animals. The lists give a good perspective of the season, and the picture quality is interesting and easy to read. It has a fun and modern layout, which young people enjoy. I wish the section entitled <i>The Trend Report</i>, was a little bit more in depth, but for those that do not care about reading minuscule details, it is perfect. Another cool section is called <i>The Instant Get</i>, which features luxury contests to enter. The magazine also features artwork, information about designers, and street style from various cities. If you have this issue, what do you think about it? Did it intrigue you to want to purchase a full subscription, or were you unimpressed? I think I like it better than WWD Magazine. Read more about the <a href="http://www.style.com/magazine/01-spring2012/" target="_blank">first issue</a>, and you can purchase your subscription<b><a href="https://www.pubservice.com/pr/wwd/OrderForm.aspx?CO=FC&PNO=STYLE201A&PK=STYLE18FS" target="_blank"> here</a></b>.<br />

<br />
Please excuse the mess on this blog. I accidently deleted all of my pictures on my blogs, because I removed them from my gallery on my new phone, not knowing it would remove them from my albums online. Please bear with me while I salvage some of my previous posts, by finding the old images and adding them. It will take a few days, and I may delete a few posts. Thank you for your patience.<br />

I usually do not like hats but I liked the way this one looked, with this entire outfit. Something about it screams "this is me, and you have to accept it..". I think this look is very cool with the hat, the buttons down the arm, and the printed leggings. This particular hat looks like a telescope crown with a bit of a wider brim. A fedora or canadian crowned hat would also be just as interesting. You would actually stay rather warm in this, because both pieces consist of wool. The sweater is a wool/cashmere blend.</div>

You may or may not have already known this, but this is just a heads up, in case you were wondering. Here is <a href="http://www.squidoo.com/knittedhelmetliners#module112503771" target="_blank">another link </a>to support my findings. The U.S. Military is now issuing its own helmet liners. Thank you to all for your support in helping our troops!Jillian Reneehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11713531990775310927noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11013341.post-19893928888043744822011-08-30T11:32:00.000-05:002013-07-26T21:10:22.547-05:00End of Summer - Free Knitting Patterns<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Trends indeed come and go, but anything, such as a long, light weight knitted dress, paired with leather is timeless and gives you that raw edge without going over the top. Black on black is always stylish, and I like to wear silver jewelry while wearing black from head to toe.<br />

</div>
Free People has some of the nicest knitwear I have seen but they're prices are beyond my current budget. Do you like these designs? The Rio <a href="http://www.freepeople.com/whats-new/rio-sweater-dress/">Sweater Dress</a> is made of rayon and polymide. I especially like the look of the white tank dress showing beneath it.<br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">

<div style="text-align: left;">
My Wardrobe features this <a href="http://www.my-wardrobe.com/helmut-lang/sheer-opaque-long-cardigan-526800?c_id=wgusd&utm_source=webgains_affiliate_usd&utm_medium=affiliate&utm_campaign=webgains_affiliate_usd&_$ja=tsid:9732&cm_mmc=affiliate-_-webgains-_-US-_-my-wardrobe">long cardigan</a> by Helmut Lang. I like how it is styled here. Care for this item is crucial, however, because it is made of wool.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
To finish these looks, try some platform shoeties, monochromatic jewelry, such as black and white or any color really, as long as you keep it to one color with black and white. A small clutch with the eye catching knitted dress above will work, and a oversized handbag with the long cardigan would be fine. I would opt for a bright bag for both since these looks are mainly focusing on black, white and grey.</div>

</div>
Stay "so cool" with this <a href="http://www.alexandchloe.com/online_shop/product_info.php?cPath=37&products_id=1368&osCsid=260af112c5edcaceac2561bd1a2e988d">long motorcycle inspired knitted jacket</a> by Pudel. To create this look, wear it with a tight <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Lace-Bandeau-Tube-Many-Colors/dp/B004U75LL2?SubscriptionId=AKIAJFRIBETCAX7PLRHA&tag=hollymovie-20&linkCode=xm2&camp=2025&creative=165953&creativeASIN=B004U75LL2">tube bra</a> or<a href="http://www.victoriassecret.com/ss/Satellite?ProductID=1265530861277&c=Page&cid=1308307883937&pagename=vsdWrapper&search=true"> tube top</a>, a dark <a href="http://www.forever21.com/product.asp?catalog_name=FOREVER21&category_name=top&Page=1&product_id=2000016126&utm_source=google&utm_medium=base&utm_campaign=product_feed&cookie_test=1">over sized tank</a> with big gaping arm holes. Some bad ass yet a little baggy jeans such as <a href="http://www.forwardforward.com/fwd/DisplayProduct.jsp?d=F&s=B&c=R13&product=R13-WJ3">harem jeans </a>would be great with this look, or you can choose skinny jeans as well. I saw some on the Forward by Revolve website.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
Lastly, the coolest option is to find some clunky, floor shattering wedge boots that are shaped to look smaller in width from the front view. They have to look more structural rather than feminine. These<a href="http://www.zappos.com/enzo-angiolini-filia-black-suede"> black suede wedge boots</a> by Enzo Angiolini would work perfectly well, but I honestly prefer these insane <a href="http://www.zappos.com/giuseppe-zanotti-i17017-nero">wedge ankle boots</a> by Giuseppe Zanotti just because they look so strange. However they have an astronomical price tag, so buyer be aware and beware! :) <i>The shoes featured on the model here are super cool, but I do not know the designer. </i><b>Have fun creating your next alternative look!</b>Jillian Reneehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11713531990775310927noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11013341.post-65934024002341336132011-07-04T19:51:00.001-05:002013-07-26T21:48:51.636-05:00Claudia Shiffer F/W 2011<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

That in itself will add visual interest to anything you knit. They call this style, "chainette".<br />

It consists of baby alpaca, acrylic, and other fibers (???). I would really like to know what those are!<br />

This pullover is knit with Flicker yarn. It is called <a href="http://www.berroco.com/310.315/311/311_maila_pv.html">Maila</a>.<br />
