A Woman's Fashion: Tops, Part I

Saturday, January 31st, 2009

Think tops for women are just one category of clothes? Wrong! In fact, fashion tops for women come in a variety of styles. This is obvious to the fashion designers of the world, but perhaps less so to the rest of us. Without further ado then, Beverly Lane brings you the top seven tops from the world of women’s fashion:

 

#1 A woman’s fashion: The strapless top

 

Strapless tops are simple but effective. Usually reserved for nighttime or daytime formal wear, the strapless top is a great choice for the warmer months when you won’t miss the extra material. Go for a simple one-color look with a body-hugging shape for maximum impact.

 

#2 A woman’s fashion: The one shoulder top

 

The asymmetrical look really gives one shoulder tops a quirky, fun sensibility. The one shoulder top is a great choice for a fun, lighthearted outing like a Sunday in the park or a daytime concert or music festival. Some stripes or a bold print will complete the look.

 

#3 A woman’s fashion: Vests and camis

 

Vests and camis are a bankable favorite when you want a cute look for summer, say for a day at the beach. They can look ultra-girly with a loose fit and a flowery print, or more sleek, modern and athletic with a body-hugging fit and stripes.

 

#4 A woman’s fashion: The T-shirt

 

What can you say about the T-shirt that hasn’t been said a million times before? Not much! Except that they’re a casual tops fashion classic on par with the mighty blue jeans. Grab a graphic print for a fun look, or opt for a looser fit and some frills for more of a pretty/girly look. Either way you’ll look great.

 

#5 A woman’s fashion: The tunic top

 

Tunics are so versatile, they’re always a safe bet if you’re not sure how formal you want to be. Perfect for a date or a night out with the girls, they also combine really well with almost any accessories. We like the look of a close-fitting tunic in a colorful fabric with some chunky jewelry, but try your own ideas – you’ll find it’s pretty hard to go wrong!

 

#6 A woman’s fashion: Shirts and blouses

 

Shirts and blouses are, of course, a wardrobe staple, especially for work wear and smart casual and formal ensembles. You can never have too many of these tops! Keep a couple in basic black and flat white, and some with a colorful pattern or print too.

 

#7 A woman’s fashion: The long sleeved top

 

Long sleeved t-shirts and tops are perfect for those transition months of the year when you need the extra warmth of a sleeve. They’re also great under a jacket for when the temperature really drops. Don’t forget that the long sleeved top category  includes the hoodie, which is perfect for a comfortable, casual occasion like a mid-week trip to the movies, and the cardigan, which works so well for long nights in. It’s always handy to have a comfy long sleeved top on hand for when you need to run to the store in the morning for bread and milk as well!

Lunar Eclipse

Thursday, January 29th, 2009


The Moon will turn an eerie shade of red for people in the western hemisphere late Wednesday and early Thursday as we experience the first lunar eclipse since August 28, 2007. In a lunar eclipse, the Sun, Earth and Moon are directly aligned and the Moon swings into the cone of shadow cast by the Earth. But the Moon does not become invisible, as there is still residual light that is deflected towards it by our atmosphere. Most of this refracted light is in the red part of the spectrum and as a result the Moon, seen from Earth, turns a coppery, orange or even brownish hue.

One can even use such knowledge to save their bacon. Can you say Christopher Columbus?

Lunar eclipses have long been associated with superstitions and signs of ill omen, especially in battle.

The defeat of the Persian king Darius III by Alexander the Great in the Battle of Gaugamela in 331 BC was foretold by soothsayers when the Moon turned blood-red a few days earlier. And an eclipse is credited with saving the life of Christopher Columbus and his crew in 1504.

This is not just some wise tale!

Stranded on the coast of Jamaica, the explorers were running out of food and faced with increasingly hostile local inhabitants who were refusing to provide them with any more supplies. Columbus, looking at an astronomical almanac, realised that a total eclipse of the Moon would occur on February 29, 1504.

He called the native leaders and warned them if they did not cooperate, he would make the Moon disappear from the sky the following night. The warning came true, prompting the terrified people to beg Columbus to restore the Moon, which he did, in return for as much food as his men needed. He and the crew were rescued on June 29, 1504.

Some things are predictable and known. Other things like Planet X are postulates and suspected. On the known siade of things, the Moon will be in total eclipse from 0301 GMT to 0351 GMT. This will be visible east of the Rocky Mountains in North America, as well as in all of Central and South America, West Africa and Western Europe.

It will be in partial eclipse from 0143 GMT to 0301 GMT, visible west of the Rockies and from the eastern Pacific, and from 0351 GMT to 0509 GMT, visible across the rest of Africa and Europe and much of South and West Asia.

The next lunar eclipse won’t take place until December 21 2010. That’s exactly two years before God only knows what will take place on December 21, 2012. And then there’s February 14, 2013 or about 45 days after the most talked about date of the future. Planet X is projected to be 2.85AU from the sun with the earth directly between the brown dwarf and our sun. And talk about coronal mass ejections (CME) and sun spots? You’ve not seen anything like this fireworks display.

Try to make a movie out of this doomsday scenario! Art cannot imitate life to such an extent. But, while you can, and hopefully the weather will allow such a view, enjoy the quiet of mother nature.
