Yes?

If so, then stop reading for a sec and pat yourself on the back. Because not only is having Personal Style admirable, it is also damn near impossible to achieve. In fact, and because if you answered yes — chances are that you are lying, Personal Style, if handled properly could possibly be the most important weapon in one’s possession. It is brooding. It is confident. It is calm, AND it doesn’t stray from classic.
Classic. Knowing when, how and what to say. Never giving up or into trends that might only last a few weeks. And most importantly, finding your Style and remaining loyal to it. Because just throwing yourself out there might just be the easiest way to wreak havoc all over the place. Figure it out… Try it on… Put it back. DON’T WEAR IT IF IT DOESN’T FIT. Look at yourself… Think about who you are and how you want others to see you. I might not know you, but I’m sure that you’re deserving… That is unless you are the dentist — you can go sit over there with the pharmacist and that guy from 7-11 — they have stinky breath too.
Personally, after an intricate critique, I find myself lacking but have become obsessed with the idea. The idea of going into my belongings in serious introspection — finding the key elements and tossing the rest. Clothing. Jewelry. Bags. Shoes. Makeup. Hair. Attitude. And it isn’t about what’s new or old, damaged or dated. It’s about taking the time to reinvest in the idea of Personal Style. And that, my friends, is where I’m headed…
In other news… the Brooches of Insanity are coming soon.. Yeah, and I know you’re waiting, but just hang on there PEACHES. Good things come to those who wait.

I admire people with personal style, and that’s why I check on the Sartorialist religiously, hoping some of that nonchalant creativity will rub off on me. Alas. Could tees and jeans be a personal style? If so, then I think there is some chance for me. I always wonder about those “consultants” that come into your closet and help you put together “outfits”. You free any time? Wanna come help me out?!
Hello,
I am leaf artist from Galveston, Texas. I create different birds (Blue Jays, Cardinals, Ducks, egret, eagles, parrots, peacocks, swans etc) with rice straw and a leaf. This is a very ancient form of art. This leaf art uses only natural substances like different shades of rice straw, gum arabic ( sap from a tree) as glue, sharp stone to flatten and cut the leaves etc. I am attaching a few photos of my leaf art of birds. I am willing to give one piece of my art to your readers of your choice as a gift. I have several of my leaf art for sale at my etsy shop http://www.etsy.com/shop/museumshop Please let your readers know about this avian art. Thanks,
Sincerely,
Ray Koshy, Leaf artist.
