„Happiness is more than the absence of pain; it is a radical shift from one state into another. It is a subtle transference of energy from darkness into light. It’s a smell like jasmine or burnt sugar on the crust of a pie. It’s the sound of a zipper on a new dress or the wet sandpaper tongue of a cat: anything that jolts introspection and forces you up<\/em> and out<\/em>.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

When you want to feel happy, try to change your context – move into a beam of sunlight, thrust through the air on a swing until your toes reach clouds, listen to a whole CD in bed, go to a movie in the middle of the day, draw a picture of a place you’d rather be. If all else fails, reach for a stack of children’s books and let them provide transport to a realm of lighter spirits. A good picture book makes you laugh and think and smile. They give you good impulses: to chase invisible dragons, laugh at your own bad jokes, invent your own rhyming slanguage, paint autumnal leaves lime green, wear cowboy boots and tangerine lipstick to the supermarket, or treat a pebble beach like a jewelry store and select faux diamonds for your moonstone tiara.”<\/p>\n

Asadar, here’s to happiness<\/em>! Pentru ca primavara e aici, cu soare si miros de iarba cruda; pentru lalele si zambile si narcise si frezii; pentru oua de ciocolata si seri prelungite de culoare indigo; pentru unghii pictate in verde si picnicuri insorite; pentru muzica noua si copilasi care danseaza „The Chicken Song” in parc; pentru\u00a0 promisiunea unui an fantastic si a unei veri de poveste…<\/p>\n

When a pouf skirt said it all<\/em> – „Every era has a designer who perfectly embodies its ethos. Halston defined the disco days of the late \u201970s with velvet hip-huggers and slinky silk shirts. In the early \u201980s, Giorgio Armani draped working women in beige power suits. […] The next moment belonged unmistakably to Christian Lacroix […] His pouf dresses and embroidered jackets became status items for a new generation of luxury shoppers.” In NY Times<\/a>.<\/p>\n

20 odd questions for Mario Testino<\/em> – „Name a celebrity, any celebrity: Madonna, Kate Moss, Brad Pitt, Angelina Jolie, Bruce Willis.

Margaret King: Maggies’ power dresser<\/em> – „The other Margaret at No 10 was instrumental in creating the image that put the prime minister on the world’s best-dressed lists. This is the woman responsible for streamlining Margaret Thatcher, dispensing with the fussiness, lowering heels and coaxing her into Ferragamos, which made for a more elegant prime-ministerial gait, raising hems a smidgeon- and „ironing” out her silhouette.” In The Telegraph.<\/a><\/p>\n
