LEAP YEAR !!!

Today is a special day !! I think you know why, from the title of this post. So I wanted to share with you few information's about leap year, and I was searching through the internet try to find something, that would help you to understand, why we have leap year (in case you don’t know). And I didn’t want to just write you a long and boring description of it, so I found this great video (believe me, this video is not boring at all ! ) :

I'm pretty sure you know about proposing on leap year, most of us from movie Leap year. I just love that movie !! Its absolutely one of my favorites

I just had to put all this in here, its about leap year proposals (from Wikipedia) :

In Britain and Ireland, it is a tradition that women may propose marriage only on leap years. While it has been claimed that the tradition was initiated by Saint Patrick or Brigid of Kildare in 5th century Ireland, this is dubious, as the tradition has not been attested before the 19th century. Supposedly, a 1288 law by Queen Margaret of Scotland (then age five and living in Norway), required that fines be levied if a marriage proposal was refused by the man; compensation ranged from a kiss to £1 to a silk gown, in order to soften the blow. In some places the tradition was tightened to restricting female proposals to the modern leap year day, February 29, or to the medieval (bissextile) leap year day, February 24.

According to Felten: "A play from the turn of the 17th century, 'The Maydes Metamorphosis,' has it that 'this is leap year/women wear breeches.' A few hundred years later, breeches wouldn't do at all: Women looking to take advantage of their opportunity to pitch woo were expected to wear a scarlet petticoat—fair warning, if you will."

In Denmark, the tradition is that women may propose on the bissextile leap year day, February 29, and that refusal must be compensated with 12 pairs of gloves.

In Finland, the tradition is that if a man refuses a woman's proposal on leap year day, he should buy her the fabrics for a skirt.

In Greece, marriage in a leap year is considered unlucky. One in five engaged couples in Greece will plan to avoid getting married in a leap year.

 

And BTW, you should absolutely read this amazing story, about one girl that proposed her boyfriend. You can read it ::here::

WEDNESDAY PLAYLIST

Nine Things You Didn’t Know About Fashion Week

 

1. There’s a Lot of Buildup for Very Little Payoff

Every show requires months of design work, weeks of set, music, and lighting design, hours of hair and makeup—and that doesn’t even take into consideration the time and energy spent on the press side, inviting people to the show, checking them in, and getting them seated. The actual length of most runway shows? About fifteen minutes

2. There is Food Everywhere

Beyond the water, soda, and snacks being passed around in the tent lobby, there is a catering spread backstage at each and every show. Coffee, tea, juice, veggies, fruit, sandwiches, pastries, cheese, snacks, cookies…you name it, it’s there, and it’s free for the taking. And if you don’t get there soon enough, someone else will take it. Beside the media people gulping down Diet Pepsi in the tents, who’s eating all this delicious free food, you ask?

3. Models Eat. A Lot.

The models are eating constantly. They eat bagels, they eat pasta salad, they eat cookies, they eat cheese. They spend so much time eating that to get a picture of them, you often have to politely interrupt their lunch. They are cool with it; it is their job, after all.

4. The Most Ridiculous Outfits are Worn by the Most Useless People

The actual purpose of Fashion Week is for editors, store buyers, and industry insiders to preview designers’ new collections. These people are basically at work. They’re dressed well, but no better than they would be on any other day. (They’re fashion insiders, though, so their everyday looks are still pretty fierce.) The only people who get dressed to the nines and arrive wearing crazy street-style looks are people who are there mainly to get their pictures taken. Anyone wearing something truly outrageous is just a fameball or a self-aggrandizing minor blogger trying to get some publicity. A filmy, diaphanous skirt and sandals on a freezing February day? Please.

FASHION ADVICE !

Hi, everyone ;)
So today I received a question on my e-mail from a girl named Julie, that obvious need my help.

So I decided to answer Julie with her problem, on my blog....

Hi, Julie, I found some great coats and jackets in bright colors, that you might like. Just click on the picture, and you will be directed to the page where you can buy it.

My favorite is absolutely the last one, because its so cute. I just love it. My personal opinion is, that you could wear all those bright jackets/coats normal, like any other jacket/coat. What Im trying to say, is that
you can wear with whatever you decide or what style you have. And because you said in your e-mail, that you love bright colors, I think something like this could work perfectly for you :

Julie I really hope I helped you with your problem.

If anyone else have any problems, not only fashion problem, but anything you want, please contact me on this e-mail:
