I ain't saying your content is not good, but what if you added a title that makes people want more? I mean "French Dressing" is kinda boring. You ought to peek at Yahoo's home page <br />and watch how they create news titles to grab viewers <br />interested. You might add a related video or a related picture or two to get readers excited about everything've got to say. In my opinion, it could make your posts a little bit more interesting.<br /><br />Review my page; <a href="http://storify.com/voyance0/voyance" rel="nofollow">publicize</a>Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-248038874344111866.post-48752429333322413382013-02-28T19:55:20.409-05:002013-02-28T19:55:20.409-05:00It is perfect time to make some plans for the long...It is perfect time to make some plans for the longer term and it is time <br />to be happy.

So, a lot of things that look ever so elegant on her, look frumpy on someone not so thin and tall--like penny loafers--she's not talking flats that kind of look like loafers--she's showing full out Bass Weejuns. <br /><br />The color thing is something I vacillate on: neutrals like gray, black and navy, and white tops, are staples of my wardrobe-- khaki and cream are not flattering on me. However, I don't live in Paris or New York--I live in the sunny South, and dressing in nun colors is different here--besides, I look better with a punch of color and feel better, too.<br /><br />Prints--you have to be very careful that they are too big, if you aren't tall and thin, or too girly, if you are over 18. I do like some of the watercolor prints from Vera Wang for Kohl's and Kenneth Cole. Prints hide a multitude of sins!<br /><br />The book is kinda heavy on where to shop/eat/stay in Paris if you aren't going there, but the online sources are useful.kbfennerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04171914955271023282noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-248038874344111866.post-15863923092220223422011-07-10T09:37:20.234-04:002011-07-10T09:37:20.234-04:00:D I've always been stunned by French culture ...:D I've always been stunned by French culture and ...uhm grace, I guess. I'm not sure what to call it. It's such an effortless chicness. I actually met someone straight from Paris recently and she is absolutely gorgeous! It's odd how your environment and heritage can almost pre-shape how you're going to act/dress. <br /><br />Yasmeen<br /><a href="http://castle-fashion.blogspot.com" rel="nofollow">Castle Fashion</a>Yasmeenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17421347098225672822noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-248038874344111866.post-33981050554494558402011-07-09T20:42:46.364-04:002011-07-09T20:42:46.364-04:00Pam~even though i broke a lot of rules in her book...Pam~even though i broke a lot of rules in her book, i did find it inspiring.

I spent years obsessing about "wardrobe must haves" and wasted money buying "staples" I never wore! For the first time in my life I feel confident enough to stick two fingers up to such guide books. I still love to read them, but like you, I just cannot stick to the rules and just wear neutrals. Hooray for you in your beautiful skirt and purple top! You are gorgeous:)) xoPull Your Socks Up!https://www.blogger.com/profile/14147274267016718793noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-248038874344111866.post-13419833295295883962011-07-08T20:47:01.435-04:002011-07-08T20:47:01.435-04:00You look so good in purple!
