Worn Out
Once restricted to just Denim the frayed, ripped apart look is also spreading to leggings, cotton shirts and t-shirts. What would look like shortage of clothes years ago is hip these days. You don't have to wait for it to come in the market. Just take a knife or a pair of scissors and get creative with that old, Boring faded tee of yours!

Diamonds By The Yard
Last month, I bought a fine chain on the 16th street,which looked exactly like this. Not until my visit to Tiffany & Co. this Monday did I realised that, it was a knockoff from the famous Italian, Fine Jewelery designer, Elsa Peretti's "Diamonds By The Yard" Collection. These are timeless chains in gold, silver and platinum studded with diamonds at uniform distance and can be owned by anyone regardless of age. Its simple yet elegant, classic yet contemporary, a must have for every woman!

Animation Movies
In movies the current hot trend is Animation!
With the huge success of, "A Christmas Carol" , getting great reviews, the filmmakers' hopes have built up. Also the current trend is not just making any animation but bringing a fairytale or a short story on screen. Like "Fantastic Mr. Fox" is a based on Roald Dahl's novel. "Princess and The Frog" is a popular fairytale and also the much awaited Tim Burton's, Jhonny Depp starrer is "Alice in Wonderland" scheduled to release in March 2010 is a famous novel. This is an expression of wonderful fantasises brought to life onscreen !

The paintings and sketches by artist, Naima Rauam were vivid reminiscence of the busy life at the seaport. It was full of Nostalgia. Its that festive time of the year where all stores, windows, art, movies and even clothes are full of nostalgia(red for christmas)!

Jhonston Elgin Accessories
On Monday, I went to this Corporate office of Jhonston Elgin, a company found in 1797 in North Scotland by Jhonston family. They are very well known for their scarves, socks and cahmere sweaters, in Europe. Now they are expanding in New York. They only sell in boutiques and specialty stores. Their designs are contemporary classic and they manufacture for brands like Louis Vuitton, Chanel, Burberry and Hermes. Needless to say their collection is very very sophisticated and high profile.
