My Personal Opinion

My own personal opinion about what I’ve been writing and blogging about is a very strong one. Fashion has interested me since I could remember. You just have to know what to wear with what.. if you don’t then it won’t look good! I’m not against any particular type of clothing. I notice that many are against the “holes in the jeans” look but I disagree! It might seem raggedy and ugly when you first think about it but it really is a great look. You can wear this anywhere.. out with your friends and even to a club. A show that I really love is fashion police, also a twitter page I have decided to follow. They talk about current fashions and what celebrities are wearing but with a twist! They are so funny and so much fun to watch!

New York Fashion Week Spring 2012 trends!

Chic beauty from the red carpet: http://www.harpersbazaar.com/fashion/party-snaps/met-gala-red-carpet-2012#slide-1



This article talks about the new 2012 trends in the New York fashion week.  What they have claimed to have stayed in fashion is sportswear and as for the colors they include sorbet colors and louche, low-key silhouettes.  Something else that seems to be in the mode is flowers. There have been many flower printed clothing items such as dresses and blouses. Chic also always seems to be the great style for women. Not only are florals a good way to show your spring  and summer spirits, street looks have their own ways of transforming. They might put a baggy jean/pant paired with a tanktop, with a lady blazer of course, and a pair of beautiful pumps. The colors can greatly range but I would recommened using more suttle colors such as black, white, brown, etc. Now what is fashion without the make-up? If you know how to do it the RIGHT way that is… Backstage inspiration boards featured rouge lip colors that seemed pulled from a vanity table drawer from long ago, futuristic glittery eye accents, timeless natural tones and indelible smoky shadows and liners done in fresh ways. The overall message: pair vintage with modern to make a statement that’s unique and all your own this season. Red lipsticks are being very much used this season. As for the “in” accessories, I saw a lot of bangles being used. Like I said before, florals have been used A LOT this season and have had a fantastic turn out!

Hello Fashion World

Hi, my name is Savannah Najour and I am a student from mr. Parsons English class. For my subject I have chosen to talk about fashion. This subject interests me so much because I spend a lot of time looking through high fashion magazines such as Vogue. The different styles and ways that people wear different outfits is so interesting. How you can mix and match a shirt with a skirt, pants, shorts ranging from high wasted shorts to low wasted, long-high wasted skirts, short low wasted skirts, etc. I’m sure  you get the point. There are so many different brands in fashion, famous or not famous. My favorites at any regular store at a mall consist of Guess, Hollister, American Apparel and Urban Outifitters. High fashion names that I really like include Gucci, Prada, Dolce & Gabonna and Carolina Herrera. These are only a few names on the hundreds out there.  

What story I would like to speak about

In my essay, I would like to talk about the story "Speaking of Courage". I believe this story has so much significance and it opens your eyes to how war can truly affect someone. Norman specifically, and you even see how Kiowa's death has effect Norman.

How does Tim O'brien represent courage in this story?

In the story speaking of courage, Tim O'brien chooses the character Norman Bowker to represent this subject. He goes back home from the war just so wiped out and has missed so much while he was gone. The medals that he receives has a lot to do with Norman's courage. He knew he would make his father so proud and impress him by earning these medals but in his own personal thoughts and reality he did not feel excitement nor courage about these medals but more cowardliness. He just felt like the rest of the soldier, nothing special. In the book, the lake is described in an interesting way. Whenever Norman saw the lake it reminded him of war and marching around the lake in circles. Another thing said was how one half of the lake glistened while the other half was a shadow. I believe that the glistening half represented courage and the other half represented the cowardliness. This is how in the story "Speaking of Courage" Tim O'brien talks about courage.  

If I saw girl dancing after she had lost everything...

If I saw this girl dancing after she had just lost everything, including her own family, I would be extremely puzzled. I would not be sarcastic though, but more so happy for her because she is strong enough to look passed the crying and mourning and tries to go on with her life instead. It takes a truly strong person to do this.
