|Farmers Markets Opening for Season
|Written by Steve Frank
|Friday, 03 May 2013 11:07
With May now underway, it's time to think of changing our diets to our summer mode—with a weekly trip to the area farmers markets. The Ashe market got a jump on the area, opening last Saturday in West Jefferson, but tomorrow, the Watauga market opens at the Horn in the West parking lot.
Missing from this year's Watauga market will be long-time participant Charles A. Church of Valle Crucis who passed away last Sunday, and there will be no more Ripshin Mountain goat cheese from Happy Valley's Lisa Plaster, who is retiring from the commercial cheese business. She was featured in an article this week in the Hickory Daily Record. Other markets will open in Newland, with others staggering their openings as warmer weather arrives—Blowing Rock and Valle Crucis.

Students Gain Real-World Experience in Marketing Case Competition
By Allie Jeppson
It's not every day in the business world that men and women are encouraged to sport beards.
It happened on Friday, Nov. 30, however, when students participated in the Jon M. Huntsman School of Business's first-ever Marketing Case Competition, for a client whose specialty just happens to be beards.
From left to right, Andrew Loaiza, Michael Gallacher, Adam Stewart, and Douglas Ward, members of Team Handlebars, stand with Mitch Duffin, center, owner of the local company Beard Beanie.

Beard Beanie, a local company that produces beanies with knitted beards, was the client in this competition that heard and judged five marketing pitches from participating student groups who had only just received the case-study information the night before.
With only about 18 hours to put the pitch together, each group did very well in its presentation, said Mitch Duffin, who founded the company with his wife Taralee.
"USU really has some talent," he said. "Everybody had great ideas about how we could move forward, and that was exactly what we were looking for."
Though each team had valuable ideas and insights, one team, named Team Handlebars, rose above the rest and took home the first-place prize of $500. Adam Stewart, Andrew Loaiza, Douglas Ward, Matt Miles, and Michael Gallacher, the members of Team Handlebars, received their very own Beard Beanie, as well, for their hard work.
This team not only had great ideas but they also had the research to back it up, said Sterling Bone, a Huntsman assistant professor of marketing.
"The winning team, within the time constraints, didn't just brainstorm new ideas, but they conducted survey research and customer interviews," he said. "The research and interviews supported the direction the team took."
To gain insight and information on the product, the team of five men, who are all roommates, worked through the night with very little sleep. During that time they conducted surveys, interviewed people, and practiced until their final presentation at 1:30 p.m. the following day. Though there was a lot of work involved, the team members said it was worth the effort.
"We actually provided some real help and assistance to the company," said team member Adam Stewart. "To be able to give them some tips that they can actually use is pretty rewarding."
Providing students with real-world experience was one of the goals of this first case competition, Dr. Bone said.
"Our goal was to bring relevance and reality to Huntsman students," he said. "I wanted to challenge our students in a way that simulates the real world. A case competition deals with a company's real-life situation and challenges what students understand about business and marketing within a time restriction."
Brynnly Bagley, a senior graduating in marketing, and MBA student Ross Menlove, who both helped to organize the event, agreed with Dr. Bone.
"It was a really great learning opportunity," Brynnly said. "It's really amazing what the students can do for a company by applying the skills they've learned in the classroom."
With the success of this first competition, the Huntsman School of Business hopes to host the marketing case competition once every semester, Dr. Bone said.
"It's building a tradition and creating a culture where learning happens outside of the classroom," he said. "We sometimes don't understand how great our students are until we expose them to these types of settings and real-world challenges. Watching the students succeed was our biggest success in this competition, and they'll continue to excel each semester."

EnAble India Workshop to help us reach out to the visually impaired in a better way
EnAble India is an organization involved in empowering people with disabilities, to rehabilitate them and help them be self dependent by providing employment assistance. Pankhudians at Bangalore recently got an opportunity to get a good guidance from Enable India on how to interact with and train the visually impaired. The presentation was given by Ms. Nandhini, Ms. Shantala and Mr. Santosh each of whom seem to be deeply committed and passionate about the cause for which they are working.
The presentation started off with Nandhini explaining us about the various technical terminologies related to the visually impaired and that it's a myth that people with disabilities have any 'sixth sense'. We were told about the behavioral aspects of the visually impaired and how to deal with them. Like for example – small children have various habits like poking their eyes, head banging, making shrill noises etc which can be a faux pas socially. In this case, the children should be advised not to do so or divert their habits to something socially acceptable.
Children with disability undergo mental trauma and generally have a low social interaction and to help them overcome this, we need to know a bit about their life history. It helps if we know their names and call them accordingly thus building a better rapport with them. We always need to have high expectations from them and let them be self dependent as much as possible. Since they are devoid of the visual learning, which makes about 80% of the total learning for the sighted people, they have to depend on the remaining senses. So, they should be taught with a feel and touch method. For example, you can get a live cat and make them feel it. Then you can explain how to imagine a lion – which is a bigger cat. A toy of the lion shape may not work here, because that will make them imagine a wrong picture of a lion. This point was well driven to us by actually making us play a small blind-fold game!
Computer learning is important for the visually impaired because it is the easiest source of information it makes them independent. It is again a myth that these people cannot compete with the sighted ones in the fields such as IT developer, System Administrators, Data Entry operators etc. The feedback from the industry says that these people, with their extra hard work, can even outperform their sighted colleagues. Also they seem to be loyal to their employer because they consider a job opportunity to be important and cannot hop jobs frequently.
In order to make the training sessions to the children at SRMAB more effective, fun and interesting, EnAble India provided us with a new curriculum. As a cherry in the ice-cream, they will also send trainers to SRMAB to help Pankhudi volunteers teach the students in a proper way catering to the needs of the children.
We are thankful to Enable India for having extended this helping hand and thus providing us with valuable insight in training children with visual impairment.

"(3) studies in Canada, Australia, and Great Britain consistently show that victims with developmental disabilities suffer repeated victimization because so few of the crimes against them are reported, and even when they are, there is sometimes a reluctance by police, prosecutors, and judges to rely on the testimony of a disabled individual, making individuals with developmental disabilities a target for criminal predators;
"(4) research in the United States needs to be done to—
"(A) understand the nature and extent of crimes against individuals with developmental disabilities;
"(B) describe the manner in which the justice system responds to crimes against individuals with developmental disabilities; and
"(C) identify programs, policies, or laws that hold promises for making the justice system more responsive to crimes against individuals with developmental disabilities; and
"(5) the National Academy of Science Committee on Law and Justice of the National Research Council is a premier research institution with unique experience in developing seminal, multidisciplinary studies to establish a strong research base from which to make public policy.
"(b) Purposes.—The purposes of this Act are—
"(1) to increase public awareness of the plight of victims of crime who are individuals with developmental disabilities;
"(2) to collect data to measure the extent of the problem of crimes against individuals with developmental disabilities; and
"(3) to develop a basis to find new strategies to address the safety and justice needs of victims of crime who are individuals with developmental disabilities."SEC. 3. DEFINITION OF DEVELOPMENTAL DISABILITY.

|WMC is Primary Stroke Center
|Written by Gillian Baker
|Friday, 04 February 2011 14:25
After undergoing an on-site evaluation and demonstrating compliance with nationally developed standards for stroke care, Watauga Medical Center has earned The Joint Commission's Gold Seal of Approval™ for certification as a Primary Stroke Center.
Watauga Medical Center is the only hospital in the Northwest region of the state.
"We're proud to achieve this distinction from The Joint Commission," says Claire Cline, Vice President for Patient Care Services. "We are pleased to have The Joint Commission recognize our commitment to providing the best care to our patients and our community."
Each year about 795,000 people experience a new or recurrent stroke, which is the nation's third leading cause of death. On average, someone suffers a stroke every 40 seconds and someone dies of a stroke every 3.1 minutes. Stroke is a leading cause of serious, long-term disability in the United States, with about 4.7 million stroke survivors alive today.
If you suspect someone is having a stroke, act FAST. Check the following:
Face - Does one side of the face droop?
Arms - Is one arm weak or numb?
Speech - Is the person's speech slurred?
Time - if yes to any of these, call 911!
Joint Commission's Primary Stroke Center Certification is based on the recommendations for primary stroke centers published by the Brain Attack Coalition and the American Stroke Association's statements and guidelines for stroke care. The Joint Commission launched the program-the nation's first-in 2003. A list of programs certified by The Joint Commission is available at www.qualitycheck.org.

Hi I have a question I take cetirizine 10 mg once a day, and I am 13 years old. Lately I have had this pain in my ribs and got it checked out so many times but no doctor has done anything about it but anyway I was wondering if I could take one 500 mg maximum strength Tylenol with Cetirzine. I know it says for Tylenol that you shouldn't take any other acetaminophen with Tylenol. So that brings up my last question what does Cetirzine have in it? Thank You
I recently started taking generic Zyrtec in pill form for my seasonal allergies and rhinitis. For years I was taking generic Claritin and found that to be ineffective so I made the switch. I had dry mouth for a week or so, but that may have been due to the fact that I could not breath from my mouth until the prescription meds starting kicking in. I was told it takes about a week for this allergy med to become effective. I haven't had any side effects that I can see, so I am hoping it is more effective than the Claritin. No funny taste in my mouth, or upset stomach. Generic brand is much cheaper than name brand and it's as effective as the name brand too. Also over the counter availability . Great for people who don't have any health insurance or prescription coverage. Also available in genetic liquid for children.
Didn't faze my issue
Seemed to work well but made me tired, not in the spaced out way that Benadryl makes me tired, but a more cranky and angry tired.
I have used Zyrtec for year for chronic Urticaria and would be in bad shape if not fo this medication.
Every year in Texas between August and September my seasonal allergies flair up due to Ragweed. I have taken multiple meds and the only one that seems to work is zyrtec. It takes about 20 to 30 minutes to work effectively and lasts 24 hours. It is a life saver, otherwise I would be sneezing and my eyes itching all day. Only side effect would be slight drowsiness but not enough to make you fall asleep. If this is a problem i would recommend taking it before sleep and maintaining a schedule of when to take it every day. It's about 24 to 30 bucks for a bottle but well worth the money to ease from seasonal discomfort
I have been on the gereric form of Zyrtec for about a month and a half. I started having wrist joint pain, then hip and shoulder joint pain. I developed a bad, metallic taste in my mouth, and a sharp drop in my overall energy level. I thought I was getting old (joint pain) and depressed (lack of energy). But after stopping the drug, my symptoms began to subside and I am feeling back to myself, and sniffling and sneezing.. I would much rather have allergies that go through what I did, no more allergy meds for me. By the way, it was the Sam's Club generic citerizine.
I have allergies to most indoor allergens, including mold and dust mites This seems to work for a week or two at the most, but then I become highly tolerant to it. I find that Tavist and Benadryl work much better, but at the cost of higher side effects. I wouldn't buy more than 2 weeks worth to start - make certain it works for you before wasting your money.
I have used Zyrtec for my year round allergies for close to 10 years. I have been on Claritin, Allegra and Clarinex with no relief. I also suffer from seasonal allergies as well. I must take it every day year round. If I miss a day, the next day I can feel it and it takes me a few days being back on it to get my nose back in shape. I have never suffered the side effect of sleepiness, but have known people that have and it is then recommended you take it at night. The only pitfall to Zyrtec that I have experienced is that after being on it for 5 or 6 years, it was no longer as effective as it once was. Instead of increasing my dose to the maximum of 20mg daily, my doctor prescribed Singulair in addition to Zyrtec and it worked wonderfully. I really think it depends on what you are allergic to and your own response to the medication as to whether which medication will be most effective for you.
my first doctor prescribed me loratidine which worked fine no more itch but i had to talk it everyday. i didnt wanna be dependent on drug so i went to see other doctor he gave me zrytec which basically did the same no more itch and again i have to take it everyday, but was pretty expensive than loratidine. i asked the doctor how long i have to take that, he told me at least 6 months to see, i asked him if i can buy any other drugs may be little expensive or do some other kind of treatment, injection he told me there is no other treatment. anyways im still taking it, works until i take it. although i dont feel itchy while im on that drug, whenever i try to scratch my skin with my nails or any sharp objects it'll turn red after sometime, but again i dont feel any itch. i can even write my name anywhere in my skin and it'll turn red for some time. i dont know whats the complete solution of this disease, if anybody know anything please help me get rid of this disease.

Product Test: Glitter Tattoos
You can buy the Shimmer Glitter Tattoos at Bed, Bath and Beyond for $9.99. The products go on easily and stay on! Our tester, Katie gave them a try. You just put the sticker on your skin, peel part off, put the body glue on, wait a minute and then just add the glitter.
They look cute. A great idea for Halloween, school spirit or other fun times. The tattoos are water proof but will come off with alcohol. Our tester gave them two thumbs up.

For the most part, you probably construct drawings in Visio using shapes and connectors. Visio also has built-in drawing tools that let you: (1) create freeform drawings; and (2) draw your own shapes.
The drawing tools found on the toolbar ? and not on any menu. They draw straight and curved lines, circles and arcs, rectangles, and ellipses. Many of Visio's drawing tools are dual-purpose. A different object is created, depending on how you move the mouse or hold down a key. The following table summarizes how tools react:
Tool Draws Special Action
Pencil Straight line Move mouse in a straight line
Circular arc Move mouse in a curve
Line at 45-degree increments Hold down Shft key
Line Straight line
Line at 45-degree increments Hold down Shft key
Arc Elliptical arc
Line Move mouse in a horizontal or vertical direction
Rectangle Rectangle
Square Hold down Shft key
Ellipse Ellipse
Circle Hold down Shft key
Freeform NUBS curve
The only tool that isn't dual-purpose is the Freeform tool (also called the Spline tool), which draws NUBS curves. NUBS is short for non-uniform B-spline and should not be confused with the NURBS curve (non-uniform rational B-spline) found in computer-aided design software.
TIP: To draw a line in 45-degree increments means that Visio draws the line at an one of the 45-degree angles ? 0, 45, 90, 135, 180, 225, 270, and 315 degrees -- nearest to the angle your mouse is moving.
Hold down the Shft key to constrain the line angle.
Hold down the Shft key to constrain the line angle.
Another way of looking at the drawing tools is to list them by the objects they draw:
To draw a... Use this tool...
Line Line tool
Pencil tool and move mouse in a straight line
Constrained line Line tool and hold down Shft key
Pencil tool and hold down Shft key
Arc tool and move mouse in a horizontal or vertical direction
Curve Freeform tool
Circle Ellipse tool and hold down Shft key
Elliptical arc Pencil tool and move mouse in a curve
Arc tool
Ellipse Ellipse tool
Rectangle Rectangle tool
Square Rectangle tool and hold down Shft key
Spline Freeform tool
TIP: All arcs drawn by Visio are elliptical arcs. More specifically, Visio draws an arc that represents one-quarter (90 degrees) of an ellipse. The reason for this is that Visio can stretch an elliptical arc but not a circular arc. For this reason, a circle is drawn from a two round ellipse halves. Visio can draw a circular arc but only if you deliberately modify the ShapeSheet. After doing that, try stretching the arcs: you'll find they become a bowtie or hourglass shape.
In this activity, you use the drawing functions. Begin by starting Visio. Then open a new document with no template.
1. Click the Pencil Tool button. Notice that the cursor looks like a tiny pencil with a small crosshair at the "pencil" tip.
2. Drag across the page (hold down the button, move the mouse, let go of the button). Notice that Visio has drawn a line (or an arc, depending on your mouse movement).
The pencil cursor appears when using the pencil tool
The pencil cursor appears when using the pencil tool
TIP: While holding down the mouse button for the Pencil tool, carefully examine the cursor. It has changed to a + marker, along with either (1) a short straight line; or (2) a small arc. The straight line means Visio has sensed your mouse movement to be in a straight line; Visio accordingly draws a straight line. The small arc means Visio has sensed your mouse movement to be curved; Visio accordingly draws an arc. If the arc looks to you like a straight line ? even though Visio shows the arc indicator ? it probably is a straight line.
The pencil tool can be used to draw straight and curved lines
The pencil tool can be used to draw straight and curved lines
3. Using the Pencil tool is tricky. Practicing drawing lines with the Pencil tool by moving the mouse straight.
4. Practicing drawing arcs with the Pencil tool by moving the mouse in a curve. I find it easier by move the mouse slowly and in an exaggerated curving motion.
5. Hold down the Shft key while drawing with the Pencil tool. Notice how Visio constrains the line to 45 or 90 degrees and the arc's shape.
Lines and arcs
Lines and arcs
6. Select one of the arcs you have drawn.
TIP: Notice the lines and arcs have three green squares. At one end, the green square has a small x in it. That handle is Visio's reminder of where you began drawing the line or arc. At the other end, the green square has a small + in it. That is where you ended drawing the line or arc. At the center, the third green square is empty. This handle shows you the center of the line or arc. It also functions as a control point. When you grab it and move it toward the midpoint of the other two handles, an arc straightens out into a line. Moving the midpoint of a line moves the line.
7. Drag the center handle back and forth. Notice how the arc changes its curve.
8. Press Ctrl+A to select all objects in the drawing.
9. Press Delete to erase all objects.
10. Select the Rectangle tool.
11. Drag to draw a rectangle. Notice the rectangle is filled with white.
12. Select gray from the Fill list box.
14. Hold the Shft key while dragging with the Rectangle tool to draw a square.
Using the Rectangle tool with and without the Shft key pressed

15. Press Alt+F4 to exit Visio. Click No in response to the Save Changes dialog box.

HEBRON, Maine (NEWS CENTER) - A big tree contest in Oxford County has turned up what is believed the tallest American chestnut tree in the Eastern part of the U-S.
Roger Crockett and his wife hired a forester to measure this American chestnut tree, located on their property. The tree was found to be 95 feet tall. After the couple enter the dimensions in the contest, a state forester re-measured the tree and confirmed the height.
Most large chestnut trees top out to about 80 feet high. The American Chestnut Foundation says the tree is thought to be the tallest anywhere from Maine to Mississippi. At one time the species comprised nearly a quarter of forest in the North East.
A fungal disease, known as blight, at the turn of the century overtook the trees, wiping out most of the population by the 1950's.

By RICHARD SHAWSports writer
Ask anyone who has been affiliated with the East Carbon girls volleyball team the last couple of years and they would tell you how worried they were about how the team would do this year.
That was because the squad lost six key players off last years state playoff team to graduation. The future looked a little bleak to many people, even to some of the players who would be on the team this year.
But this past weekend proved that life goes on, and it can go on well. At the end of the Milford Tournament, the first games of the season for the Lady Vikings and for many of the other teams that attended, there were the girls from East Carbon battling it out for third place amongst a field of nine teams and not all of them were 1A teams like the kids from Carbon County.
The tournament held some traditional powers amongst it's field of five 1A teams, three 2A teams and one 3A team.
In the process of reaching the playoffs for third place the Lady Vikings beat traditional foe West Desert in two games, and 2A Kanab from Region 13.
The team lost 2-1 to Piute and barely lost in three games to Snow Canyon, a large 3A school from the St. George area.
"The girls did a really good job," said new head coach Alisa Preston. "I think they thought they didn't have much of a chance, but I knew they were pretty good and now they know it too."
The Lady Vikings first defeated West Desert, who traditionally has been one of the best in Region 18. They took down the Lady Hawks 15-7 and 15-4.
Then the team lost a close one to San Juan High in two games. They beat Kanab High in two and then lost to Snow Canyon, taking the Lady Warriors right to the edge.
"Britney Leonard really stood out in this tournament,"said Preston of the senior player. "She didn't play for us last year, but had competed as a sophomore. We were very pleased by her performance."
Preston feels this years main competition in Region 18 will come from Dugway. The Lady Mustangs return some strength from last year and with West Desert not as strong this year the team from Tooele County will probably be the one to beat.
"With the wins and how well they played at this tournament I know the girls have faith in themselves now," concluded Preston.

Approaches to Teaching Gilman's "The Yellow Wall-Paper" and
Editor(s): Denise D. Knight, Cynthia J. Davis
Pages: xvii & 198 pp.
Published: 2003
ISBN: 9780873529006 (paperback)
ISBN: 9780873529013 (hardcover)
"This long-awaited volume will be extraordinarily useful to teachers of Charlotte Perkins Gilman. The essays model a most admirable kind of academic writing: they recognize the scholarly nature of pedagogy and hence serve both as practical resources for teachers (helping them develop syllabi, presentations, and assignments) and as exciting new contributions to the scholarship on Gilman."
Jennifer S. Tuttle, University of New England
Although the rediscovery in 1973 of the long-forgotten story "The Yellow Wall-Paper" (1892), by Charlotte Perkins Gilman, met an enthusiastic reception, no one expected the enormous impact it would have, resulting in dozens of articles and books, numerous dissertations, dramatizations on stage and in film, and inclusion in college literature anthologies. Not surprisingly, then, the story, often alongside Gilman's second-most-famous work,
(1915), is widely taught in a variety of disciplines: literature, composition, feminist theory, women's studies, psychology, history, sociology, religion--even geography. This volume in the MLA's Approaches to Teaching series addresses the rewards and challenges of teaching these two works and offers a practical and valuable resource for teachers who are new to Gilman as well as for experienced teachers looking for fresh approaches.
Like other volumes in the series, this one is divided into two parts. The "Materials" section discusses editions and anthologies; surveys other writings by Gilman; suggests background and critical studies of interest to students and teachers; and identifies an array of supplemetary materials: film adaptations of "The Yellow Wall-Paper"; historical documents on birth control and the eugenics and Socialist movements; women's magazines and handbooks published in Gilman's time; and related literary works by other women writers such as Harriet Beecher Stowe. The "Approaches" section contains twenty-one essays that look at the works from a variety of perspectives, for students on different levels in a range of courses.

Much of the research tackling questions regarding our shared human identity seems to focus on the infra-humanization and de-humanization of out-group members (Paladino & Vaes, 2009, for example), or how human norms effect our reactions to victims and perpetrators generally and more specifically in the context of historical atrocities (Greenaway & Louis, 2010). While these research programs are vital to understanding "the human element" of inter-group attitudes, I think they ignore an even more elemental phenomenon that I like to call spontaneous human-in-group affiliation (Getty, in progress). While we are hopelessly bound to humanity, people rarely, if ever, name humanity as a salient in-group. In fact, Lickel, Hamilton and Sherman (2001) studied lay theories of groups and found that the abstraction of group extended only as far as loose affiliations of interests (e.g., Coltrane fans). Not once did they suggest that species-level affiliation was seen as a viable in-group. However, studies of de- and infra-humanization showed that strong identifiers from diverse groups report believing that their in-group posses more human-like qualities than out-group members (Castano & Kafta, 2009). What does this mean? It could be that our species-level affiliation is simply a distant, abstract concept concealed in our allegiances to in-groups, but present nonetheless. The question I'm tackling, then, is, when do we shed our lesser in-group identity and spontaneously identify as "human beings" when being human is not a salient self-categorization?
One clue to answering this question might have been revealed in the aftermath of the devastating earthquakes and following tsunami that ravaged much of the northeastern coast of Japan. While there is little to report about the details of the disaster that goes above and beyond the facts already reported in the media, there does seem to be an interesting phenomenon that might be related to my concept of spontaneous human-in-group affiliation. If one were to follow the link below to the Web site discussing the disaster they would find at the bottom a number of posts (one of which is mine) from concerned and empathetic people from around the world. Some of these people come from countries that have had historical conflict with and mistrust of Japan (China, for example). Even still, for one reason of another, these folks have been compelled to take the time to write and express their concern for the suffering of others who would normally be out-group members, if not for their human ties. I commented on this observation: "It is amazing how human beings from around the world, despite strong in-group affiliations and histories of conflict with each other, find their humanity in situations of suffering. We find our human in-group and that, I think, is a fragile good that comes from these situations."
I still have much work to do to answer the question of spontaneous human-in-group affiliation. My own personal good to come from this disaster, however, is a testable hypothesis: Spontaneous human-in-group affiliation occurs in the wake of natural disasters (Getty, now in progress). You will have to wait for the "why" of this hypothesis when the manuscript is done.
In closing, there is little to say other than to express my sincerest empathy for my fellow humans suffering in Japan. I hope those of you who read this, and are able, will join me in following the link below to contribute to the American Red Cross, who is equipped to help those suffering in Japan, or contribute to other charitable organizations that can do the same.

Trend Report: Off-the-Shoulder Dress
- 1 of 24
This season's hottest cocktail party accessory? Your clavicle. If the thought of showing cleavage or baring your midriff makes you cringe, try an off-the-shoulder frock on for size. They're sexy in a sophisticated, old-school glamour kind of way. And they're flattering to a variety of body types (which is more than we can say of a lot of dress trends).
- 2 of 24
Chloe Moretz
At this year's Teen Choice Awards at the Gibson Amphitheatre in L.A., the Carrie star shone in a Christopher Kane mini and Jimmy Choo heels. Note how a spike of bright colors can make a tight LBD instantly daytime-friendly.
- 3 of 24
Emma Watson
Watson's look at last week's New York Gravity premiere was "totally maje" (to borrow a phrase from Rachel Zoe, circa 2008). We love how the bright white satin bandeau of her J. Mendel mini highlights her delicate shoulders. And that rich berry lip shade? Beyond.
- 4 of 24
Hailee Steinfeld
The 16-year-old actress proved the look has prom potential when she hit the red carpet at the global premiere of Romeo and Juliet in Hollywood last month in a youthful yet elegant Prabal Gurung dress—fresh off the designer's S/S 14 runway—which she paired with Brian Atwood shoes and a Cathy Waterman ring.
- 5 of 24
Sienna Miller
Lesson number one when tackling a new trend: make the look work for you, not vice versa. For the International Medical Corps' reception in New York last month, Sienna Miller wore an embroidered Alexander McQueen dress that felt fresh and au courant but didn't betray the actress' boho chic roots.
- 6 of 24
Elena Perminova
At the BLK DNM dinner at the Beagle Restaurant in London, the Russian fashion plate donned a putty-colored Alessandra Rich dress whose dramatically plunging neckline was tempered by it's invisible net collar. A black moto jacket, worn jauntily off one shoulder, amped up the look's rebellious streak.
- 7 of 24
Alexa Chung
The It girl celebrated the debut of her aptly-titled book, It, at Liberty in London last month in an off-the-shoulder combo dress from Carven's Resort 2014 collection and a Dolce & Gabbana Agata Bag ($3600). Her unfussy updo and natural makeup kept the attention were it ought to have been: on her flawless, lace-scalloped neckline.
- 8 of 24
Julia Restoin Roitfeld
Carine's pretty progeny arrived at the de Grisogono party during this year's Cannes Film Festival in a Dolce & Gabbana dress. The frock's slim-fitting bodice might have been a snooze, were it not for those voluminous sleeves, dripping with lace.
- 9 of 24
Chiara Ferragni
Holy hotness! The Blonde Salad blogger sizzled in a crimson David Koma dress whose tailored long sleeves offered a prim counterpoint to the playful flounce of its mini skirt. (The Olympia Le Tan book clutch offers the perfect finishing touch.)
- 10 of 24
Jessica Stein
While the Tuula Vintage blogger's Supermuse skirt/ASOS shirt combo isn't actually a dress, we couldn't bring ourselves to disqualify the chic (not to mention easy to imitate) look on such a minor technicality.
- 11 of 24
The collection that launched a thousand bare-shouldered frocks featured some unlikely fabric combos. (A tweedy check print, oxblood satin, and blue velvet, for instance.) Taken together with the nipped waists and full skirts, the collection felt very '50s suburbia by way of Helena Bonham Carter's closet.
- 12 of 24
For her F/W 13 collection, Phoebe Philo sent models down the runway in "fit-and-flare" double-face wool and cashmere dresses whose cozy materials and voluminous silhouettes seemed heaven-sent for winter wardrobes.
- 13 of 24
When temperatures drop, take your layering skills to the next level and add a long-sleeved tee or sweater to the look, a la this ensemble from Aquilano.Rimondi's F/W 13 collection.
