Denver Real Estate Investment If you're planning to live and own a place in downtown Denver real estate, then you're in for one great experience. Whether you're going to buy or lease a property, being part of a vibrant community is surely something that you can look forward to. With the area's real estate market holding its own while the rest of the country is undergoing some economic problems, this is one good proof that the great leaders and residents of the community is living up to their goals and vision. And with the biggest project for transportation coming really soon, there's no better place to live in. It's a fact that Denver homes for sale can be quite expensive, but fortunately you could find a way to get great deals if you've got the right real estate agent. The climate for real estate in this part of the country is booming, which is why now would be a great time for you to invest in the area's properties.

What makes investing in Denver real estate worthwhile?

Denver is truly a great place to live in, which is why the properties here would quickly appreciate when it comes to value. In here, you will be able to find great shopping, dining and entertainment infrastructures. Not only that, it is also home to excellent schools, various community centers and wide parklands. Even the surrounding areas from Centennial to Parker are just as great and beautiful. The homes and surrounding neighborhoods have some of the most beautiful properties which can be found in the country. They have the Historic Victorian in Five Points or Baker, the Capital Hill Denver Square, Washington Park Bungalow and Denver Country Club stately mansion; there is truly something for everyone. Neighborhood zoning codes are the ones that determine the size of a new home to be built in real estate Denver, which would depend on factors such as the lot size and set backs. With more children moving into the area, unprotected smaller-sized bungalows are being replaced to make way for bigger homes that come with modern conveniences.

Tips on finding properties in the area

If you're looking for Denver homes for sale, then you should seek the aid of a professional real estate agent before you'd decide to invest in a property (or properties) so as to get good recommendations on what types of properties are definitely worth your money. Professional real estate agents are the first ones to know with regards to the best deals for you. In addition to this, they will be able to give you the best prices before everyone else would know about it. Another important tip for you is to choose what is called a "buyer's agent". This kind of agent is someone who would do all the negotiations for you, and not the seller. The agent is the one who ensures that you get to pay the lowest price, and not that the seller will be the ones to earn the largest profit in the transaction. Other things that you should be aware of are the real estate firms that make claims that they are working for both the sellers and the buyers. Actually, what they really do is that they tend to charge commissions from both sides, so what happens then is that you end up paying more, and the seller profits less. These so-called "dual agencies" give the least amount of protection to both parties. The sad thing is that a lot of Denver real estate agents and real estate firms operate in this way, therefore you should avoid them no matter what.

Professional real estate agents in Denver are quite knowledgeable when it comes to the area's housing market, and they would be able to really help you find a home a lot faster than you would if you do the searching on your own. It's quite a fact that most professional Denver real estate agents are the ones that handle the paperwork, so that all you need to do is just sign and move in. Given these facts however, you must make it a point that you do not rely completely on your agent alone. It's advisable for you to do some amount of research yourself. You can visit several areas in Denver, so that you can make your own observations and get a "feel" of areas that would suit your taste. Your agent then will be able to focus his or her efforts in finding properties that would meet your needs and wants.

Thoughts on the Maison and Object Show, Paris

Interior design vs. exterior design; when will they ever meet? The Maison & Object show in Paris coincided with the Paris fashion shows. Not being an aficionado of haut couture, I do think that what I saw of the French showing of their interiors left me very disappointed and thinking they haven't moved on from the Provencal, fringes and lace decades of yesteryear. Who were displaying exterior 'objets'? Very few, so few they were next door to each other in a far corner of Hall 5A, with one or two exhibitors flung to the far corner of Hall 5B. As garden designers from London, we were anticipating seeing a lot of inspiring exhibitors and products. What a wasted opportunity, as I am sure many an expert in interiors is asked by the client to help with the furniture for the garden as well. There was just the one interesting furniture manufacturer, Les Jardin au bout du monde. The product designer Claude Robin has created wonderfully comfortable garden chairs in fine tubular steel in a riot of colours (sifter range) and aluminium frames with batyline slings (dripper range), just two ranges that demonstrate his style of harnessing strength with lightness.

Seriously disappointing to travel all the way from London town and the best of Show were Belgium companies exhibiting stylish, chic and contemporary planters and water features. Everything else was kitsch of the highest order. My mistake, we should have gone to Scandinavia to find the best in contemporary product design. As for Interiors, the French are still obviously bourgeois traditionalists!

A couple of exterior exhibits paid homage to the classical statuary that one would see around a French chateau or an Italian Villa Grande. Huge terracotta pots aged and wonderful in a romantic setting, but 'frostproof', maybe if protected!

The highlight of the day was to visit the Belgian company Domani. The scent pervading their display, of Viburnum flowers on huge bare stems, mixed with cherry blossom was worth the long walk to find them. They had cleverly addressed both ends of the style counter, with huge planters designed in the old vernacular but in modern materials and the old techniques of the finest craftsmen, producing textures and finishes that would look good in either traditional or modernist settings.

The trip was a long day to meet a few discerning suppliers but all the better for enjoying a very French supper in the Chatelet district before catching the last Eurostar back to Blighty.

Fashion Show Events

A fashion show is an event put on by a fashion designer to showcase his or her upcoming line of clothing. The first American fashion show likely took place in 1903 in the New York City store Ehrlich Brothers. American retailers imported the concept of the fashion show in the early 1900s.

Fashion

Featuring runway garments from the spring and fall/winter collections of ten influential couturiers and designers, the exhibition explores the ideas and inspirations motivating Paris fashion today, and why, in an age of globalization and instantaneous communication, this venerable city remains the fashion capital. The city has been a magnet for stylish men and women since the seventeenth century, but the French fashion industry has evolved considerably over the centuries and never more than in the last few years.

Recent assessments of the current state of Paris fashion have varied widely, with some pundits announcing its death, and others claiming that it is closer to fine art than ever before. By using fashion, a medium which has always been associated with self-expression and personal identity, these designers seek to demonstrate how the use (or misuse) of technology and its modes of production have the power to stimulate, delight, and inspire in ways as yet untapped in the fashion world. In the 1800s, "fashion parades" periodically took place in Paris couture salons.

The first American fashion show likely took place in 1903 in the New York City store Ehrlich Brothers. By 1910, large department stores such as Wanamaker's in New York City and Philadelphia were also staging fashion shows. By the 1920s, retailers across the United States held fashion shows. In the 1970s and 1980s, American designers began to hold their own fashion shows in private spaces apart from such retailers.

Models

Models in a fashion show have to change their clothes all the time to present new items to the public. Models are supposed to influence us in a positive way. Models strutting catwalks at London Fashion Week should provide a certificate attesting their good health, but there should be no outright ban on wafer-thin women, the British Fashion Council said on Friday. Spain and Italy have recommended banning models with a body mass index (BMI) of less than 18. "We favor the alternative approach of promoting good health based on medical assessments of models participating in London Fashion Week," it said.

The report acknowledged there was a problem with eating disorders among models and recommended a health education and awareness programme should be set up urgently. "During the investigation, evidence of the vulnerability of women in the modeling progression was startling and models are at high risk of eating disorders," said Denise Kingsmill, chair of the inquiry.

In a typical fashion show, models walk the runway dressed in the clothing created by the designer. Because the topic of fashion shows remains to find its historian, the earliest history of fashion shows remains obscure. Too many adolescent girls decide early on that they need to be "thin" like the models in order to be "pretty" when really they just need to keep themselves healthy.

High Fashion Chanel Lady - FW - Paris

High Fashion Chanel Lady - FW - Paris

On dit que seules quelques centaines de femmes dans le monde seulement disposent de moyens suffisants

pour s'offrir une robe de haute couture. Selon les créateurs, les robes coûtent de 15 à 25 000 euros pour

débuter et sont sans limite supérieure de prix.

La robe aux magnifiques broderies que porte cette jeune femme russe (?) habillée Chanel de la tête aux

pieds est sans doute dans la fourchette (très) haute de prix ...

Certains la qualifie "d'OVNI" de la Mode. Mais ce qui est sûr, c'est qu'à chaque Fashion Week,
les photographes attendent avec impatience de voir quelles seront les tenues de Michelle H.
Ses coupes de cheveux sont elles aussi spectaculaires .... Ici à la sortie du défilé Chanel au Grand-Palais.

Sur son tumblr, elle expose son point de vue sur la Mode et sans doute sur la vie en général: "Because
nothing inspiring is flawless or perfect. It's in the failures, the experiments, and the unique that I find
the greatest joy".

L'Artisan du rêve * Boucheron * Paris

Même quand le temps est gris et qu'il pleut sur la place Vendôme au mois de juillet (!),
chez Boucheron, les pierres précieuses brillent toujours de mille feux. Pour "la Biennale
des antiquaires 2012", la maison de haute joaillerie a présenté sa nouvelle collection
"L'Artisan du rêve" et j'ai eu le privilège de découvrir le travail des artisans d'art
d'exception qui perpétuent le savoir-faire de la maison fondée en 1866.

Selon l'usage propre à la culture de la maison, les bijoux recèlent des cachettes aux mécanismes
subtils, telle cette perle géante qui s'ouvre (comme une huître ?) pour révéler tous ses secrets.

Le bracelet Caméléon fait de tourmalines, de saphirs et de diamants sera t-il apprivoisé ?

Ce bracelet-serpent semble sorti tout droit du film de Mankiewicz avec Elizabeth Taylor
dans le rôle de Cléopâtre ... (la langue du serpent peut disparaitre ou apparaitre selon l'humeur
de sa propriétaire ...). E. Taylor aimait les pierres précieuses et possédait d'ailleurs un diamant
énorme de près de 70 carats qui portait son nom (Le Taylor-Burton offert par Richard Burton).

Cette pièce faite de diamants et de cristaux est d'une complexité inouïe !
Elle a demandé des centaines d'heures de travail.
