Fashion Week Love-Hate relationship

Love the feel of excitement on the streets
Hate not able to get a cab
Love everyone dresses their their best for a chance to be "caught on camera"
Hate late nights working... and missing the kids going to bed
Love being inspired and moved by new ideas
Hate having to wait till next spring to wear them.

Loved Max Azria ...cutaways with trimmed beading,
caging over loose knits

if you like open spaces and guests like some privacy here's an idea

I don't like walls, but with no guest rooms there is need to come up with ways to give guests privacy. An idea came up while searching for a simple, yet interesting screen; the choices were very generic or very expensive.
Take a photo or a newspaper clipping or
a mag swipe you love, and have it printed large; adhere it to the plexi glass using double sided tape (run it along the whole edge) and you get a unique art work that will add function and fun to your room. You can also buy a few yard of fabric or make a collage of photos.

The best part for me is that i can change the art after i get bored.

screen $99, print $30-50
