Stout Women May Wear Draped Skirts - 1913 McCall's Magazine

Stout Women May Wear Draped Skirts. Well, I'm sure we're all glad to hear that.

But once again please do take a moment and look at the details. That buttoned tab on the front of skirt, the narrow pleats down from the waist and the bit of a train on our seated lady, that amazing little back drape on our third lady and the contrast collar, cuffs and hem on the 'Tunic Shirt'. How grand. And all on Stout Women!

Huaraches - The Sandals That Made Mexico Famous.

The weavers of our STEERHIDE HUARACHES never repeat a pattern, and this is something that can be said of no other sandal in the world. It is a tribute to the Indian sandal-maker and to the good taste of the wearer.
The Indian Huaracheros use real leather only, honest leather that nature, and the backs of their own tough oxen, gave them. Unpolished and undyed, it has a beautiful light beige tone that turns deeper with wear. (Actual color photo.)
A product of the hot, rough country of southern Mexico, they are reinforced for rough going, and air conditioned against summer's heat.
The Steerhide that gives them stamina also gives YOU comfort, for the soft, fresh feet of supple leather thongs relaxes tired feet as nothing else can.

Custom Scarfs - 1947 Cover Girl Fashions

These beauties were from Custom Scarfs Inc. in New York (215 West 40th Street if that means anything to anybody). They were also known as Wesley Simpson Custom Scarves. He was very a very influential designer of textiles, and was married to Adele Simpson. He commissioned famous artists and designers of the day for his scarves and other printed fabrics.

In searching this company I found that Linus Pauling bought 2 scarves and one stole (he wrote a check). And there is another ad here from the Miami News.

I wish we could see these clearer, or better yet, see them in person. It wouldn't it be great to match the scarfs with the designers? Any guesses?

Different Ideas for Healthy Breakfast

"A healthy breakfast is the mainly vital food of the day,” says Dr Jyothi Prasad, primary nutritionist, Manipal Hospital, Bangalore.“There’s a virtually ten-hour long gap between dinner and day food, through which the body is on quick mode. As the name indicates, breakfast is the food you eat to break that fast,” explains Dr Prasad, “It refuels your body with nutritional value to kick-start your day. So don’t skip it.”

Whole-wheat breads sandwich: If you are a veggie, she indicates a simple paneer, onion, tomato and cucumber sandwich. “Spread a part of low-fat paneer instead of cheese, as it’s a healthier choice,”. A part of grated paneer, cut up vegetables, cucumber and tomato, pepper and sodium – and you are willing to go. For non-vegetarians, keep some boiled, boneless chicken pieces handy. Mustard marinade or mayo with boiled chicken and vegetables tastes fantastic, try it out today.

Cereal: Dr Prasad alerts against those sugar-coated cereal products in the market. “Choose sugar-free wheat flakes or corn flakes. They load up in carbohydrates, fiber and protein,”. “Add some fresh fruit or dry fruit and nuts to create it more healthy.”

Daliya: “Popular up north, daliya creates for an outstanding breakfast choice,”. Daliya is unprocessed wheat, loaded with fiber and complex carbohydrates, it’s healthy and can be made quickly. Dr Prasad suggests including a handful of nut products to create daliya a perfect, complete breakfast.

Dosa: “Choose a multi-grain dosa — what we call adai down south — over the regular kind,” It packages in multiple nutritional value – just what you need to boost your day. Though, just make sure you use a non-stick pan, and less oil though.

Eggs: While egg make for an outstanding breakfast choice for kids, adults must take very carefully. “Get your fat profile tested,”, before you go on an egg eating spree. If your cholestrerol levels is high, make sure you stay away from egg yolk. An fantastic source of protein, selenium and riboflavin, egg white wines are low in fats and cholestrerol. So beat in one or two egg white wines, add some cut up fresh vegetables ,  a touch of turmeric root extract, sodium and red-chilli powder to taste — mix and struggle or create an omelette.

Steamed idlis: Your local community grocery store is most likely to have a stock of idli mixture. Cook idlis the night before, if you are too in a rush in the day. Eat idlis with honey, it’s delicious and won’t require additional time for making chutney or such. In the morning, micro-wave idlies, add some honey and you are willing to go.

Oats: Full of fiber, oatmeal is known to help control glucose levels and keep cholestrerol levels under check. What more? It’s easy to make too. Again, including nuts and fruit or dry fruit to that oat porridge.

Poha (flattened rice): Poha is easy to made and takes very little time too. “Add fresh vegetables like beans, and perhaps even green beans into your poha to create it more nutritious,”. Keep some cooking groundnuts useful to add that extra sing to your poha, groundnuts are also healthy as they pack up in anti-oxidants, folate and a host of other nutritional.
