I took a fantastic Chakra Balancing class last night at Liberation Yoga with Constance Hart. Constance is an internationally-recognized, certified color therapist and a visionary in the field of color energy balancing.
According to Constance, each color has its own energetic expression and affects each chakra in a unique way. For instance, your sacral chakra starts below your navel and governs your low belly, hips and lower…
Surely you’ve seen those contests where someone fills a huge jar with jelly beans or M&Ms or marbles and whoever makes the closest guess wins a prize. Well, I’ve always thought it would be fun to do a similar contest but instead of guessing the number of widgets in a jar, you’d be required to guess the number of beads on a vintage beaded dress.…

Rachel Zoe may have made the expression “I die!” popular, but for me, when I see a breathtaking vintage piece, it literally takes my breath away and I….gasp.
So while today’s VPOD look like it might have been worn by Daisy in F. Scott Fitzgerald’s novel, The Great Gatsby, I prefer to think of it as “the Great Gasp-y.”
It’s certainly one of the most unique and…
Today’s modern woman thinks nothing of blow-drying her short hair, slipping into a skirt and blouse, driving to work and then heading out for a cocktail at the end of the day. But all these things wouldn’t be possible if it weren’t for the rebellion of the young ladies of the 1920s known as Flappers. These woman–gasp!–showed their knees, exercised their independence, embraced their sexuality…
I find it interesting that there is a 1920s revival happening in fashion right now since the “Roaring 20s” were characterized by optimism and prosperity. Optimism and prosperity? Most of America isn’t feeling too optimistic or prosperous right now. After all, gas prices are in the stratosphere, green house gases are in the atmosphere and we’re living in a climate of war and fear.

I’m pretty sure that if I had lived in the 1920s I would have been a flapper. Flapper was slang that developed to describe those young women who boldly dressed and behaved in an unconventional manner. Yep, that sounds like me. And what’s a little misbehaving when it meant being able to wear something as beautiful as today’s VPOD?
This 1920s flapper dress is an absolute gem!…
