FASHION .....Fantastic fashion ideas for him and her this season
BPT) - Whether you are shopping for yourself, updating a loved one’s look, or wondering what to wear to a holiday party in chilly temperatures, there are key items to look for when shopping this season that are sure to have you fashionably warm.
Fashion ideas for women “Bring in those dresses that have the lighter colors like pale pinks and light greens from the summer, and then layer with your darker winter pieces,” says Sheila Warden, fashion director at The Art Institute of Ft. Lauderdale. “Sweaters and tweed jackets are hot right now and transition well from fall through winter, and are even wearable in the spring.” Tops and bottoms in the same print are en trend, and easy to wear, especially when hosting. “We don’t have time to over think what to wear. We’re too busy making sure everything else is right, and just want to put on something we know is fashionable and will work,” Warden says. There are also all kinds of jackets this season. Go for leather jackets, jackets with prints and your solid colored jackets. Just remember that if you pick a jacket with a louder print, you’ll want to pick something not-so-exciting underneath. Lastly for the shoe fanatics, don’t overlook one of the biggest hits this season: the open toed bootie. They come in every color, fabric and style, and can be found in just about any shoe store. “Boots in general are a win-win. Anything from ankle to thigh high in leather and snake skin with red and black leading will be a hit,” says Charlene Parsons, fashion director at Miami International University of Art & Design. If you want a break from boots, ballerina slippers can also carry you through the seasons. Coats will be your pricier purchase, but it is your best buy of the season. “When it comes to coats and outer wear, take on texture, shearling and fur mixed with leather and in color too,” Parsons says. “Don’t be afraid to make your coat your fashion statement.” Accessories are a must for winter wear, and they also make great gifts as you can avoid guessing sizes. “Neck candy or big pieces of costume jewelry will be great this winter. You can use them with a jeans and t-shirts look or with a cocktail dress,” Warden says. Parsons adds that the shopping bag and the shopping basket handbag looks are staples this winter season. And don’t forget about the back pack along with the hand painted bags and the jeweled clutch. Fashion ideas for guys Sweaters and cardigans are coming back for men of all ages. “Charcoal colors, dusty grays and blacks are sure-win colors for any man’s closet,” Warden says. En trend for men are dye sublimation socks with printed styles. “Young men are collecting socks this winter and these printed socks will be a great addition to their select stash of trendy pieces,” Warden adds. When considering tops this winter, consider stripes instead of plaids but go for winter colors like burgundy. Stick to wools for jacket pieces, cottons in shirts and tops, knits or double knits for sweaters and cardigans, fun jackets made of leather or faux fur and suede for the more laid back and a clean- cut gentleman. Crushed velvet is great for a dress jacket or vest and it’s perfect for the holidays. Boots and oxfords are the primary fall and winter shoe wear across the country. Don’t be afraid to mix and match your oxfords with a more casual look and your boots with a more sophisticated look, but consider where you’re going and what you’ll be doing. Scully hats and the beanie are coming back for men as well. Male handbags are also a trend that can serve a utilitarian purpose carrying items such as a laptop, wallet, pen and iphone.

A gospel choir set a new world record for the highest altitude carol concert when they sang on a flight from London's Gatwick airport to Geneva.
Airline Easyjet enlisted The ACM Gospel Choir for the 15 minute concert which lasted 15 minutes and took place at an altitude of 39,000 feet. Choir director Mark De-Lisser said: "Singing is what we do and we have sung in some amazing, weird and even dangerous places. "But to be given the opportunity to sing some festive cheer to the on-board passengers as we cruise at over 39,000 feet is truly out of this world." Once the concert was over, the choir collected funds for charity UNICEF as part of Easyjet's Change for Good collection. Easyjet spokesman Paul Moore added: "We thought our passengers would enjoy this festive form of in-flight entertainment and to achieve a Guinness World Records title at the same time as filling the plane with seasonal songs is the icing on the Christmas cake." |

Willie Watson Singing in Nazareth
Folk Singer Willie Watson will appear at the Nazareth Center For the Arts Tuesday January 6th at 7PM Tickets: $20. Call box office 6 10-365-2219.
Willie Watson (Born September 23, 1979) is a singer-songwriter, guitarist, and banjo player born in Watkins Glen, New York, who was a founding member of Old Crow Medicine Show. His debut solo album Folk Singer, Vol. I, was released in May 2014 and he appeared at the 2014 Newport Folk Festival. Raised in Upstate New York around Ithaca, he currently resides in Topanga, California. Watson's transition to solo appearance began slowly with an invitation from siblings Sean and Sara Watkins to join them on a Cayamo cruise—a "singer-songwriter, folk, rootsy festival on a ship around the Bahamas] In 2012–2013 Watson began appearing in venues in and around Venice Beach, California, making appearances with the John C. Reilly band and John Prine, and opening for acts such as Punch Brothers, Sarah Jarosz, and Dawes. Initially he was performing original music, then realized he got more out of performing the old songs—and his audience seemed to enjoy them more. In 2014 he performed at SXSW in Austin, Stagecoach Music Festival in Indio, California, Newport Folk Festival in Rhode Island, Pickathon Music Festival in Oregon, Fayetteville Roots Festival in Arkansas, and Steelfest in Missouri. A tour of the United Kingdom and Ireland takes him to Bristol, Glasgow, Manchester, Sheffield, London, and Dublin. East Bangor Pastie Sale

Columcille Women's Retreat Columcille's Annual Women's Retreat will once again be held at the Kirkridge Farmhouse.
Keeping with tradition, the Women of Columcille are invited to come celebrate and honor the beloved Brighid, Goddess of Fire and Water. It is also that time of year when life slowly begins to flow and move underneath. It is the return of 'Light', the beginning of Spring also known as Imbolc 'flowing of ewe's milk' when it was all agrarian society. Celebrate and prepare yourselves for the return of 'Light' once again through ceremony, song, ritual and camaraderie of all your Sistars or just take 'me' time, walk the land, meditate and reflect! In ritual, open yourselves to the loving transmuting energy of the Violet Flame, and then dive deep into the healing Sacred Water... discover how deep your connection to Water is... maybe even learn there is a Mermaid inside you! Be transformed with a powerful Divination Circle. Of course, there is play time for the 'inner child' to create and express herself with our craft time! Later they honor Brighid with a healing Fire ceremony, followed by a deeply bonding bonfire gathering with song, chants, and 'placing of cloths' for Brighid's Blessings. Then off 'steam' from all that fire work with a pulsating drumming circle! Gift yourself with the richly rewarding and fulfilling retreat experience, whether it be just one day or the whole weekend. It promises to be one of joy, growth, new friends, self-discovery and empowerment - doing 'inner work' has never been so rewarding! January 30

Filmmaker Michael Rossato-Bennett chronicles the astonishing experiences of individuals around the country who have been revitalized through the simple experience of listening to music. His camera reveals the uniquely human connection we find in music and how its healing power can triumph where prescription medication falls short. This stirring documentary follows social worker Dan Cohen, founder of the nonprofit organization Music & Memory, as he fights against a broken healthcare system to demonstrate music’s ability to combat memory loss and restore a deep sense of self to those suffering from it. Rossato-Bennett visits family members who have witnessed the miraculous effects of personalized music on their loved ones, and offers illuminating interviews with experts including renowned neurologist and best-selling author Oliver Sacks (Musicophilia: Tales of Music and the Brain) and musician Bobby McFerrin (“Don’t Worry, Be Happy”). An uplifting cinematic exploration of music and the mind, Alive Inside’s inspirational and emotional story left audiences humming, clapping and cheering at the 2014 Sundance Film Festival, where it won the Audience Award.
