radian6.com came up with this nifty scale that shows how social media affects the world-specifically the Oscars.
From January 24 (the day of nominations) to February 20, 2012, they listened in on 332,422 social media conversations about the Oscar nominees for Best Picture, Best Lead Actor and Best Lead Actress. Here’s who captured our hearts in 2011:
It will interesting to see how accurate these “conversations” were.
The 60s influence rings strong in true with bold colors and rich fabrics. Couture and easy wear looks both readily available. I enjoyed the more streamlined shorts and motorcycle jackets and fell in love with the crisp two piece suits and sweet little hats that play on the iconic style maven Jackie Onassis.

As a plaid aficionado, I saw this cape and thought…MUST.HAVE. NOW. Erica shows us how in this simple how to guide.
To create reach for your favorite cotton flannel or wool material. You will need approx. 2 yards, depending on the size you desire. Fold material in half, horizontally. Place a hat at the top of the fold (half way down). This will serve as a neck-hole guide. Continue to cut out a 4" inch panel. Don't throw away the scraps! Use the fabric scraps to create a strip which you can use as your belt.
P.S.- add fun brooches and group in a cluster for finishing touch.
