If the first two art inspired outfits in the Lulu's.com Project were monochromatic, now is time to "speak"COLORS! The next inspiration ? Impressionism art. (See Baroque HERE and Art Deco HERE) Probably this current doesn't need any description! It is enough to look at Monet's paintings and you are sold on it. Vibrant colors, as well as landscape patterns are what define the most Impressionism art in fashion. This floral shiny suit is like a wearable art in oil technique. I was incredible happy with this colorful look and I hope you like it too.

...one is silver and the other gold. If I knew why that song was in my head, I'd tell you. But I have no explanation I've also got Flock Of Seagulls in my head so go figure.
I've been in a mixing mood lately. Maybe it's the crispy gold of fall, turning into the icy silver of winter (woah, can i get a holla for that line of poetry?) but I'm way into silver and gold. Living in harmony, just like ebony and ivory. The odd songs flow, what can I say.
I'm especially loving it in the kitchen. Which really is stainless and brass, but you get where I'm going with this.
Hello everyone ! Today, I will start this post by saying that GREY MATTERS, especially when it is paired with black and red-the iconic combination-. One of my recently purchased pair of shoes, these snake printed pumps, are displayed in my today's look, as well as this NEW coat (courtesy to Sheinside.com). What I love about this coat is that it has that menswear influence and clean lines. Clean lines can be seen in this whole look, even on the bag, and it gives to this outfit the touch of toughness that I love to approach from time to time. What do you think ?

Leo- Friday, November 23, 2012 The celestial weather, such as it is right now, could inflate a small issue into something bigger than it deserves. Put aside any inclination to turn a molehill into a mountain. Things are essentially going very well. The hassle you are dealing with is not of your making. Keep your mood constructive, think before you bark, and you’ll end this day feeling very well indeed.

New Rule: Now that he's been reelected, President Obama must get back at all those right wing hacks who tried to paint him as an angry black man pushing a liberal agenda by becoming an angry black man who's pushing a liberal agenda. Now, I have been mostly holding my tongue about the president this past season, because I didn't want to muddy the waters in a country where you only get two choices, but Mr. President, there are two ways to look at your 51 to 48 percent victory: One is, we love you. The other is, we like you three percent better than Mitt Romney. And by the way, let us never speak that name again... Mitt... let it be a dark and buried memory of a close call with a creature equal parts pure evil and excellent posture, like getting dry humped in a crowded subway by Roger Moore. I like this president. In all those secret strategy meetings we had, with me and him and George Soros and The New Black Panthers, I found him to be very agreeable, Allah be praised. But it's now the job of progressives to hold his feet to the fire for causes important to us. If not now, when? There's no third term, Mr. President, so you may as well throw caution to the wind, 'cause it's not like we're using it to produce energy. Yes, clean energy, that's just one of many issues, like civil liberties, the drug war, the drone war, the war war, gun control -- that have been on my mind these last four years, and let's just say I've been waiting to exhale. And by that I mean, I've been holding my nose. But you're free now -- with no more elections to win, you are free to never again have to kiss the ass of coal miners and say the words "clean coal." There is no such thing as "clean coal." It's like saying "Internet Privacy" or "Tea Party Intellectual." Or "Fox News Journalist." Another priority should be cutting the defense budget -- we're the home of the brave, let's prove it by getting by with one less submarine. Yes, we were involved in a struggle against a radical enemy bent on our destruction -- but the election is over, and we need to recognize that America has the same problem with the defense budget that Mrs. Petraeus has with her husband's penis: it's swollen, and we can't bring ourselves to touch it. And as far as Afghanistan goes, I know you said we're leaving in 2014, but look at it this way: enemies are always on guard for a surprise attack, but they'd never suspect a surprise retreat. Really. We can leave right away. Because we've figured out something the Afghans haven't: air travel. And as long as we're ending wars, how about the War on Drugs? Two states, Colorado and Washington, have actually legalized pot now, which gives you as president the rare opportunity to improve the world by doing... absolutely nothing. Just tell Eric Holder to stay the hell out of Boulder, and if the conservatives bitch about it, throw states' rights back in their face -- isn't that their big theme, send it back to the states, the will of the people? Well, this is the people who, in those two states on election day, got up off the couch and drove their 1987 Toyota Tercel with the "Visualize World Peace" sticker on the back to the polls, and voted to stop the drug war. And then drove home and got back on the couch. And finally, instead of rewriting Social Security, how about rewriting the Patriot Act? How about another look at rendition, and warrantless searches and wire taps? And how about stop listening in on our phone calls and reading our e-mails. I'm not a teenager and you're not my mom, ok? And besides, there's a better way to confirm your suspicions that I'm smoking weed and hanging around the wrong people: just watch my show. Real Time With Bill Maher returns with new shows on Friday, January 18th on HBO.

As Congress, made up of the foolish, led by the unknowing, in the attempt to right the listing ship known as The American Fiscal Screw Up kicks the can further down the road I though the following quite appropriate.
What say you?
Thanks to the evasiveness of both Progressives and Conservatives. Just call me Rip, but it's time to go back to sleep while the wizards we elect continue to kick the can down the road. Yawn. {RVW}
