She applies for a job through her blog...

...and manages to get the plea commercially sponsored, to boot. You've got to admire innovation like that, I guess.

When it's cold...

get ready...

aran knits are all the rage (7) and if they are cosy and warm, even better, but I might as well pick a Fair Island print cashmere sweater (2), how more wintery can it get? "Gear up" is what I say every morning before getting out, and I don't want to venture it out without a good pair of boots (9).

Gloves (8) is THE way to go and can you say no to a bit of pom poms? What else? A fancy cosy scarf and something to cover my ears (BASIC) I equally love a good warm hat (1) as cosy earmuffs (3).

Least but not last, a faux fur coat (5) fantastic! or a fab parka (6)! 

and you know what? Weather: bring it on, I'm ready!

ps: A big thanks to Catherine for finding where the scarf is from (4)!

ps 2: it seems the mittens at Asos are not available anymore. Sorry! :(

Health: Breathing Trouble in Winter Season

In some countries, during winter, the atmosphere gets so polluted that it brings a very serious condition. Especially in some cities or towns, the air contains much sulphur dioxide which can cause a fatal burning in the lungs, which is very bad for asthma patients. This time the heavy weather contains minute particles of matter in a huge amount, that is why some may have their asthma exaggerated and lung diseases may also increase comprehensively.

People who have asthma shouldn’t drink cold water or even cold drink, and if you need to go out for some work then never forget to take your muffler with you and asthma patients should never try to clean their house or if done that should be by wearing a mask.In this sort of conditions-specially in winter, one should, mostly asthma patients be very careful regarding some food like- shrimp, mutton, duck eggs, sweet pumpkin, brinjal, tomato, coconut etc. During the winter, the air inside the room possesses tiny ‘mite’ germs, so you should also be very careful about this and wash the bedding (pillows, sheets, and mattress) weekly in hot water along with your winter clothes before you use them.

So if you want pass a very enjoyable winter and have a good time specially asthma patients and persons with breathing problems, should be very careful and sensitive from the very beginning of the season. Just because the weather is cold doesn't mean this is your trouble time! Use the time sensibly, and you will be fit and healthy as usual.

I'm really into minimalist clothing these days.. Like Dior Homme by Hedi Slimane, Helmut Lang, Jil Sander, etc. One designer that really pulls off the minimalist look well is Ohne Titel. From all black, to a mix of colorful prints, this designer's approach to style is sure to sweep even the most adamant of skeptics off their feet!
The collection consisting mostly of black was the Fall/Winter 2007 collection and the other two colorful looks were recently featured on the runway as the Spring/Summer 2008 collection.
