Favorite Color Combination - Got Fashion?
(Welcome to the start of Guest Bloggers' Favorite Color Combination Series... literally seconds after I posted the call for guest bloggers, Mariana who hails from Romania and has a lovely blog entitled,
Got Fashion? sent me an e-mail informing me that she had long ago created the Polyvore set (above) with turquoise and orange and it was her choice for the series. She explains "I just love how these colors go together although they seem so different. I think it's an unusual combination and this is exactly what makes it so special." Thanks, Mariana!)

Daily Horoscope: Capricorn, Aquarius & Pisces
{Horoscope for Thursday, September 3, 2009}
(Capricorn, December 22 to January 20: Keeping your unique style unique is important -- you need to be careful that you're not getting too comfortable with your fashion choices. Getting stuck in a rut is simply not an option for you, right now. To get inspiration for a new look, check out a few magazines. Do some people watching and take note of what you like and don't like. Your creativity is strong. Do you realize what a trendsetter you are?)
(Aquarius, January 21 to February 18: A high level of excitement is around you today -- people are all buzzing about something that you either don't know about or do know about but aren't that fascinated by. It's okay not to join in on their energy. If you don't feel it, you don't feel it. Faking it would only feel weird to you, and the forced feelings will be obvious to the smarter folks in your circle of friends. So just feel how you feel and don't second guess yourself. No one will be bothered.)
(Pisces, February 19 to March 20: Things that appeal to your intellect will be drawing you in today. You'll find that the most challenging concepts will suddenly make a lot of common sense, and your brain will get a new sense of its capabilities. This means it's the perfect day to readdress a project or book that has been a struggle to deal with. Complicated ideas aren't so complicated right now -- in fact, they're pretty fun to wade through! If you're being tested or challenged in any way today, expect things to go well. Horoscope via Marie Claire.com. Photograph source, Amber Valletta by Steven Meisel via Icon_ology.)
{p.s. I am overwhelmed with the appreciation of the return of the horoscope segment on this blog. It is a lot of fun to do. Thank you! Next Monday, September 7th's horoscope: Aries, Taurus & Gemini.}

Daily Horoscope: Libra, Scorpio & Sagittarius
{Horoscope for Wednesday, September 2, 2009}
(Libra, September 23 to October 23: Having a carefree life doesn't require you to forgo all your responsibilities and live like a free spirit. If you are trying to focus on just having a good time right now, don't make the mistake of clearing your calendar to do it. Having commitments helps you appreciate your downtime all the more, so be sure to keep a healthy balance between work and play. If you have no reason to wake up in the morning, or no place to feel useful, you'll never truly be happy.)
(Scorpio, October 24 to November 21: You should spend at least some of your day today trying to stimulate your mind with innovative ideas or new philosophical concepts. You might get confused and even a little bit frustrated, but you will also learn a lot -- and that is what is important. That is what creates new paths for you to pursue in your life. Be open to new ideas -- it's the best way to improve yourself.)
(Sagittarius, November 22 to December 21: Your creativity has always been a big part of your intelligence, but never more so than right now -- the tasks you're working through require the kinds of smarts that you have in spades! This is a very exciting time for you, full of unique people who are helping you to see things in a new light. There might be a frustrating person in the mix, but although they rub you the wrong way from time to time, the sensation they leave you with is always positive. Horoscope via Marie Claire.com.
