Opulent damasks

originated from Damascus, Syria (hence the name), which was famous for woven jacquard silks that became fashionable among European monarchies. Royalty then, like Hollywood today, influenced trends.
Countries across Europe started to put their own signature imprint into the center motifs of each damask design. English damasks included images of roses, fruits, and horses. France added swans, bees, and laurel leaf motifs while Italy used dogs, musical instruments, and food.
The damask has expanded the globe over centuries and is a consistent decorative element. Damask is the perfect design to bridge the gap between modern and traditional decor.
The photo above features the damask Marrakech from Jaima Brown Home and is colored in chocolate, the new classic color for interiors. It blends beautifully with Seaglass, which is on the ottoman in the Field Greens fabric. Nature never looked so good! This color combination evokes luxury and is here to stay!

Spring color: hyacinths

There is nothing like hyacinths for a burst of color and sweet fragrance to chase away the memories of winter and make room for fresh thoughts of spring.
Masses of star-faced bells come in a range of colors including deep purple, red, pink, orange, white, and many more beautiful colors.
Dutch hyacinths are the most popular. Put a few in pots near your patio door or at nose level on a wall or deck and enjoy not only the color, but also the scent, every time you pass them.
The first Fashion Week ever in Dubai

Dubai hosted its very first International Fashion Week in March 2007. Lovely colors, beads, and sparkle graced the catwalk alongside less glamorous, but still stylish, garments. Here are a couple of my favorites.
I love the unexpected combination of brown with the red-orange and fuschia.
This warm neutral with metallic sparkle also caught my eye.
Prada’s 14-karat chocolate gold cell phone

While I was reading about Dubai Fashion week, I noticed that LG Electronics has teamed up with Prada to produce a Special Edition 14-Karat Chocolate Gold mobile phone.
They are only going to produce 1,000 units which will be available only in the Middle East, beginning this month.
No price is listed, but I imagine the cost of indulging your love of Prada, chocolate, gold, and gossip all at the same time is quite high.

I just had to share these fabulously colored eggs with you.
They were dyed and photographed by the very creative John Suler. Visit him on Flickr to see more of his photos.
So, what is the most popular color of Easter egg dye?
Americans love the color purple, according to a survey by Paas, a company that makes egg decorating kits.
Thirty percent of those responding to the survey picked purple as their favorite color for egg dying.
Teal ranked second (17 percent), followed by green (12 percent), and red (11 percent).
An estimated 180 million eggs got a splash of color for Easter this year.
What is your favorite color to dye an Easter egg?

Red, a new French movie, is an innovative approach to French entertainment. Red is all about the color red and the dark side of emotions.
This film will show you the color red in a new light and encourage you to explore the dark side of all human emotions.
Experience the passion, love, and erotic sides of red in the movie that will surely be talked about for years to come!
