Women’s Trend: Tribal Looks
Dolce & Gabbana used tribal details for spring ‘13
Welcome to the new site
We have just moved the entire site from its previous incarnation on the Squarespace 5 platform to the new Squarespace 6 platform. The new platform has allowed us a new look and some new functionality, which we will do our best to make the most of. The main change has been combining all new WORLD, LIFE and RECIPES posts onto the MAIN page. This way every new post will be in one place. For those of you who prefer to stick to one section, you can choose from the 3 main category links in the MAIN page sidebar.
Everything from the old site is still here and can be found by either searching or by visiting the lovely {FROM the old site} folder in the top navigation bar. Within the folder are the imported WORLD, LIFE & RECIPES sections. You will notice various quirks of the migration, including dropped images in post excerpts and formatting oddities. We have also added a sidebar that lists all of the categories from those 3 sections to make finding what you want a bit easier. We are also in the proces of creating a RECIPES list page that will unite all of the past posts with any new recipes on one easy to find and navigate page. Also in the works are a few new pages that are being modified from their older incarnations on the old version of the site.
If you have any question, concerns or suggestion, please feel free to let us know. I can always be reached via email at: kiersten@greenspotblue.com or comment below.
inspiration: a bit of everything…
This is our first inspiration post on the new layout. we’re still testing out our new possibilities, so look for any number of oddities, flubs, glaring errors and unexplained chaos as we adapt to the new site. The most glaring one so far was that every post I wrote myself on the old site was carried over with my name replaced with YOUR NAME. So sweet. This new site format is brought to us by the new Squarespace 6 platform. It’s endless in it possibilities in some ways, but still quite quirky and lacking in others. And then there’s the learning curve. It’s not always as easy as it should be. It’s pretty though. And once we get the hang of it, I’m sure things will go smashingly. First big change is that we’re merged the WORLD, LIFE & RECIPES sections into one main posting page right up front on the MAIN page. All old recipe, world & life posts will be housed on the site in the {FROM THE OLD SITE} folder and this is where you will see the oh so many oddities of transfer, like dropped images in excepts, formatting alterations, caption weirdness and the like. It is also where you would have seen YOUR NAME 653+ times. It took me nearly a week to figure it out (5 days waiting for SQ support to come up with a fix and then a few hours of fiddling myself to actually fix it. Yeah, me.), but it’s fixed. We’re working on adding a full RECIPES list that will make it quick and easy to find all recipes past, present & future. And I’m sure we’ll be adjusting, fixing, shaking our fists in the air, screaming, pulling our hair out, making up words to substitute for the “naughty” words we want to use, but are trying to avoid so our children don’t yell them out in Kindergarten or Preschool, redoing and making everything lovely in the end for the next few weeks. This is the first official non-test post on the new platform, so lets hope for the best, shall we. And now, on with the show.

Fashion’s New Fab Five
SIMONE ROCHA
Simone Rocha, the 26-year-old daughter of Dublin-based designer John Rocha, is making her own name with a girly-meets-garçon-esque collection. For a young designer, her vision is unusually clear. From the outset, her designs have been a combination of thoughtful and dreamy, sophisticated and unfussy, all crafted in traditional and technical fabrics and finishes. Her spring show featured dresses the color of yellow highlighter pens, circle skirts coated with plastic film and a gold hand-crocheted waffle-knit dress.
“I like the fact that the clothes can look a certain way on the runway, and then your hands can make more discoveries as they move over the fabric,” says Rocha, adding that she designs with longevity in mind. “It’s so important that the clothes are not trendy, that they have a life.”
Her accessories, too, are unmistakable: chunky black oxfords with Perspex heels, striped platform lace-ups and transparent neon shopping bags.
