Fashion Talk | NOURISH Summer Series by Habibi Sport and How I Murdered a Coconut

I thought about Lucille Ball. I know her show was in the 50s and women were expected to be the homemakers. Just look at her costume: an age appropriate dress, always below the knees, an apron, sometimes culottes, and trousers. Ricky always came home to a clean house and a cooked meal, well most of the time when Lucy wasn’t making mischief or pulling off one of her many antics.

Fashion Talk | Chasing Trends Is Tricky Business

We must consider a few things before buying clothes. Just because Nikki Minaj is spotted wearing an haute couture costume, doesn’t mean you should be wearing that monstrosity to work, or school, or while mowing the lawn. First of all, let’s say that you’re pear-shaped. You like the look of Audrey Hepburn in tight-fitted leggings and a matching turtleneck. Okay . . . so you have classic fashion sensibilities—but do those sensibilities help or hurt your overall look? Ask yourself the question, “Will Audrey’s outfit look as good on my frame as it does on hers?” If you have junk in your trunk and are a D-cup, chances are those cute capris and fitted ribbed shirt are going to pick a fight with your décolletage.

Fashion Talk | Functional and Fashionable Flute Accessories by Andrea “Fluter Scooter” Fisher

Fashion Talk | Functional and Fashionable Flute Accessories by Andrea “Fluter Scooter” Fisher

I have been playing the flute my whole life (since I was nine) and I realized I never gave it a second thought to use anything other than the original case my flute(s) had come in. How could I have not investigated the options of fashionable, functional flute bags—even musicians should have a bit of pizzazz when it comes to their gear. Andrea Fisher’s designs range from eye-popping to subtle to “blingy!” These flute bags are gorgeous, and I intend to show mine off at my very next performance.
