Style lessons with Tim Gunn

I have been reading "A Guide to Quality and taste" by Tim Gunn. As you know Tim is the elegant Director of Fashion at the prestigious Parsons School of Design and he also appears in Project Runway and in his own show "Tim Gunn's Guide to Style."

He has all the credentials to have a book with that title. I found that the book has very good information and it is written in an elegant, but easy style. It has humor and good information. If you have seen Tim on TV, as you read the pages of this book, you will hear his voice.

The book does not have long lists and pictures telling you what type of pants to wear (that is what he does on his show too - he lets people pick their own clothes but gives them broad guidelines on how to shop and also provides them with a list of items that they need to buy after examining their wardrobe). It has detailed explanations on how to make your own selections. Quality, taste and style is his mantra or his other mantraafter "make it work."

The book has chapters on "who are you," "posture," selecting accessories, and others. The accessories' chapter recommends "say no to the it bag." It is a different book about style, fashion and dressing. The advice is deep, but very practical.

Beautiful gadgets: Mimoco

We all know about the USB flash memory cards. They are certainly very useful and much nicer than the old fashioned CD-ROMs, but they are not pretty; you cannot call them an "accessory."

That has changed, thanks to Mimoco. Mimoco has a variety of attractive Mimobots, which are USB flash cards with a personality. There are many designs including a Star Wars collection with Dark Vader and all the other guys. Most of the designs are inspired in Japanese characters. Why to go around with your pictures in a simple flash memory stick when you can make a statement with your own mimobot. Mimoco.com

With this product you can bring some of the exotic Spas of Thailand to your home. Cloth balls filled with herbs are used to massage the body. The herbs smell really wonderful and help to relax the muscles and eliminate impurities.
