5 Hot Spring Fashions from Limi Feu

Fashion - Patrick - July 27, 2020

Limi Feu turns to an obvious source of inspiration for her spring 2009 ready to wear collection: the Japanese student look. Long jackets, pants, and white button down shirts dominate this season’s collection. Black, white, nude, blue, shrimp, solids and stripes comprise this ready to wear collection for women. Like her designer father Yohji Yamamoto, she also favors the dark colors in layered designs. Below are my top five picks from her spring 2009 ready to wear collection:

The first ensemble we see in slide has the typical long jacket reaching to the knees with black pants and a white blouse with a narrow strap placed horizontally across the scoop neckline. The jacket has a bit of gray at the shoulder holes and a zipper closure in the front. This doesn’t have to be worn to class, of course, if you are already a college graduate. You can however wear this whenever you feel like going urban with your friends.

You can read more here as the article progresses on even though spring is gone for now but it would show up the next year so it would give you an idea of what all dresses to try out during the season with some interesting pieces to look forward to.

Here is a two-piece dress in slide #9 that has big buttons on the front of the black blouse with 3/4 length sleeves and a straight skirt that reaches past the knees. For a different look, substitute a white or pink shirt with his nice skirt and wear it to the office. The blouse here is very Asian in style and can also be worn with an embroidered satin skirt with dragons on it.

The nude and black dress in slide is simple in lines with a slightly flared out look. A scoop neckline, black shoulder straps, and above knee length skirt makes this dress looks like one meant for a younger schoolgirl. This is something I might wear to a class picnic on the campus, but the dress can be worn to any day or informal evening party this spring season.

A solid black dress like the one in slide #21 is ideal for wearing to a weekend party this spring. Add some color by wearing a long, brightly colored scarf around the waist with the ends hanging loose. The square neckline and angled cut on the blouse’s hem make this dress very urban and avant garde in appearance. Throw on some beads around your neck to finish the look.

The shrimp colored dress that we see at slide #32 is last on the list. If you like the layered look, this dress definitely has it. The dress has that combination of punk-rock look to it which makes it great to wear while spending a day in SoHo. If you don’t have a pair of orange boots to wear with this dress, try black shoes with heels. Wear this dress to a music party this spring season.

Limi Feu fashions can be purchased through her boutique in New York City. The average price range for her fashions is between $150.00 to $500.00.

My Top Ten Neil Young Songs

Music - Patrick - July 26, 2020

Neil Young is said to have started his musical career back in the mid-sixties playing in coffee shops in Canada where he was born. Still today, he is a very respected musician. He was inducted into the Music Hall of Fame in 1995 and is acclaimed to be one of the best performers/songwriters in Rock and Roll.

I have been in love with Neil Young’s music for as long as I can remember. I was introduced to Neil Young’s music at a very young age. As I have gotten older my appreciation for his music has only grown. In my opinion here are his top ten best songs ever that you can download from gudang lagu for free.

Hey Hey, My My-

Is said to be one of Young’s most popular songs. This song was released in 1979 album Rust Never Sleeps. Young also recorded an acoustic rendition called My My, Hey Hey. Kurt Cobain is even said to have quoted this song in his suicide note. I prefer the acoustic version but they are both very good and powerful.

The needle and the damage done –

A mellow song that talks about drug use and the damage it can do to a person. This song first appeared on the Harvest album, which came out in 1977. This song was inspired by many musicians and entertainers who were dying around that time due to heroin overdoses.

Old man-

This song has a lot of personal meaning for me. In my teenage days, I had many problems with drinking and all that goes with that. My father, who is bipolar, has many of those problems as well. The darker side of me is a lot like my father. That is why this song holds so much meaning for me. My dad and I are very close and we fight many of the same demons.

Cortez the Killer-

Neil Young’s is said to have written this song in high school. The song retells the story of how Herman Cortes conquered Mexico for Spain in the 1500s. The song is incredibly long, seven and half minutes with first verse starting more than 3 minutes in. The guitar solos are beautiful and the words powerful. This is my favorite Neil Young song.

Cinnamon Girl Cowgirl in the sand –

both of these songs were supposedly written on the same day while Neil Young was sick in bed with a fever of 103. It is also said that he wrote Down by the River this same day. I, of course, have no idea if this is true but it is good storytelling. All three of these songs are similar and each features lengthy guitar solos by the man himself. These songs were released on the album Everybody knows this is nowhere in 1969.

Only love can break your heart- was included on the After the Gold Rush album. This song features a mellow tune and talks about love.

Comes a time – was released in 1978 on the Comes a Time album. A very mellow folk sounding song that was present in my childhood.

In addition, to audiology care, as a woman with hearing loss, it is also important to reach out for social and psychological support services as the adjustment to your hearing loss can be quite difficult to manage.

Using social therapy and psychotherapy, as a hearing-impaired adult, you can learn to accommodate to your hearing loss when managing your social and interpersonal relationships. Because women, more commonly than men, rely upon extensive communication, this improvement in social and interpersonal skills management will be important to your management of hearing loss from a psychological standpoint. In social and psychotherapy, the therapist can guide you through the management of hearing loss when in crowded rooms, noisy settings, or in settings where low levels of sound may be important. Information on home and workplace management will also be important.

A common issue that affects women with hearing loss is the image issues associated with using a hearing aid. Because women traditionally focus on personal appearance, beauty, and fashion trends, the use of a hearing aid may be deemed unfashionable and unsightly. In actuality, hearing aids and hearing devices, today, are far trendier than in years past. In fact, many can be hidden from plain view with the proper guidance and instruction from an audiologist or therapist.

Hearing loss at any age can have an impact on your quality of life. Approaching the hearing loss with optimism is important to your adjustment.
