FASHION FRIDAYS
Henceforth I will be publishing a new post every week Fashion Fridays, giving a review of fashion news. As well as any Fashion Fridays info I feel like sharing for your knowledge and enjoyment.
Here in Vancouver darlings Fall has hit with a force , cold , dark and of course raining . Of course with the change of seasons comes the dreaded SAD ( seasonal affected disorder ). Since all of us can be affected by this, my first post here is a list of things you can do to alleviate the doldrums. In no way do I tend to lessen the severity of SAD .
FASHION FRIDAYS ; Tips to Ease Your Winter SAD Symptoms
Vancouver -Gastown
| Tips to Ease Your Winter SAD Symptoms . First darlings the list below came from a mental health website and was prepared by mental health professionals. However I would like to add to this list, and that is for us fashion lovers. Henceforth try not to wear too much black, choose a bright colored scarf for when you do wear black. Second wear brighter colors in general and incorporate summer items into your wardrobe. |
- Spend more time outdoors during the day
- Try to arrange the spaces you spend time in to maximize sunlight exposure
- Keep curtains open during the day
- Trim tree branches or hedges that may be blocking some of the light from getting into your home
- Move furniture so that you sit near a window or, if you exercise indoors, set up your exercise equipment by a window
- Install skylights and add lamps
- Build physical activity into your lifestyle preferably before SAD symptoms take hold. Physical activity relieves stress, builds energy and increases both your physical and mental well-being and resilience
- Make a habit of taking a daily noon-hour walk, particularly if you commute to school or work in the dark hours of the day
- When all else fails, try a winter vacation in sunny climates—if the pocketbook and work schedule allow. Keep in mind that the symptoms will recur after you return home
- Try to resist the carbohydrate and sleep cravings that come with SAD

FASHION FRIDAYS; "MARIA BY CALLAS " OPENS THIS FALL
First I want you all to know that I love a good aria , and no one sang one better than Maria Callas. The film "Maria by Callas " had a premier at Tiff ( Toronto International Film Festival ) last week.
For the first time, 40 years after her death, the most famous opera singer ever tells her own story – in her own words. Featuring previously unknown footage, unseen photographs, personal Super 8 films, private live recordings, intimate letters and rare behind-the scenes archival footage for the first time in color .
What I would like to stress is that as well as being a legendary diva , Maria Callas was an amazing fashion diva. Therefore as I have done in the past I will cover Maria Callas in one of my upcoming fashion icon posts. However I encourage all fashionistas, fashion students and lovers of style to watch for "Maria by Callas " in your local theaters . In addition stayed tuned to this spot for more FASHION FRIDAYS.
