Air Jordan Retro 1 - Vivid Blue/Black

Hullabaloo will get the whole family moving. As kids ages four and up bounce, spin, and jump between the colorful pads, they'll learn new shapes, colors, and words. They'll also hone their listening skills --especially when they "freeze" and wait to see if they're a winner at the end. Though it's geared towards kids ages four and up, even two-year olds will want to play along. Though younger kids might not "get" everything, they'll still have a great time -- especially dancing to the "funky" music at the beginning and end of each quick-moving round. Though kids can play Hullaballoo among themselves, parents will enjoy the silliness and the exercise!

Easy to Learn; Fun to Play
The Hullaballo console is made of sturdy plastic with brightly-colored buttons that are easy for little fingers to find. Batteries aren't included and parents will need to put those in with the help of a screwdriver before play can start. The easy-to-read, illustrated instructions tell you how to play the game, which is a snap to learn. The console also clearly announces the rules of the game each time you turn it on. (It also plays a bouncy song at the beginning of each round that will stick in your head long after the game is over.)

Do a Funky Dance!
The talking musical console adds an element of excitement and unpredicability to the game. You never know what it will tell you to do next! The catchy music and the instructions to "do a funky dance!" at the end of the rounds especially appeal to kids. (Later, when you're not even playing the game, you can say, "Do a funky dance!" and they'll start dancing excitedly all over again.) The pleasing pallette of colors in Hullabaloo are appealing to the eye, from the purple, green, and red console to the multicolored play pads with their slightly retro images. These brightly-colored, sizeable play pads are hard to lose.Yet they are also easy to put away when the game is over.

Cherry Blossom Bags (No. 113)

These bags were inspired by the delicate majesty of the Japanese cherry blossoms in Washington, DC. The 3,000 original trees were gifted by the people of Tokyo in 1912. Every Spring at the beginning of April we wait for the pale pink and white blossoms to open. Then we hope for warm weather and no wind so they will last as long as possible. www.NationalCherryBlossomFestival.org

The aesthetic of these bags is retro and chic: they are reminiscent of the sleek lines found in antique Chinese porcelains or silk brocades. The bag comes in two sizes and a number of colorways. One will be right just for you!

Pattern Difficulty Level: Intrepid Beginner to Intermediate. Requires knowledge of knitting, purling, increasing, decreasing, and knitting in the round on circular and double-pointed needles.

Flamenco Bag (No. 126)
- So Easy, So Noni! -

The flamenco bag is a medium-sized bag that was inspired by the luxurious skirts worn by the flamenco dancer. This bag gives the impression of romance and movement even when sitting on a table. It is a roomy bag that can go anywhere, from the park, to a fancy evening out.

Even though the bags look very sleek and high end, the felting and finishing is quick and easy. Simply hand sew the felt “flaps” over the snap handle structure (available from Noni, from Lacis, or from Sunbelt), snap closed, and walk out the door. If you like, add JUL Silver “Red Beauty” Bronze, Silver & Cornelian bag feet to the Red Flamenco bags or “Black Beauty” Silver & Onyx bag feet to the Blue Flamenco bag for a wonderfully luxurious finished look. Also look for Noni pockets, 100% silk pockets available in 7 colors: 2 zippered pockets and a cell phone pouch you can simply sew into your bag. Instant (and beautiful) functionality for any bag!

Milla Jovovich has so many multi successful career roles—– actress, singer, designer (Jovovich-Hawk)—– sometimes I would forget that she is indeed a good model. I am loving many of her recent work:

MUSE #16 (collector cover)

In Vogue Paris Dec 08′, shot by Peter Lindberg

This editorial is so hardcore 80s’. I would have thought that it is straight out of an 80s’ photo album. Maybe it’s the way she hold the cigarette, maybe it’s the Elvis hair, Milla evokes a supreme sense of retro chic-ness that is hard to ignore.

At Roberto Cavilli - Rich reds purples, blues and greens gave eye catching outfits for both day time and evening.

At Matthew Williamson - romantic floral designs were combined with pixelated florals designs, for a very chic and stylish look.

Try combining winter florals with thick opaque tights, faux fur trims, chunky  knits and sassy street wear for a not so girly take on this traditional fabric pattern.
