All I have to say is "WHAT?!" These designers are all given an amazing opportunity to come on this show, and to just buckle under pressure and quit is simply rude. Andrea left the show in the middle of the night, post eliminations for the Lexus challenge, without making contact in anyway with the Project Runway staff. When Tim Gunn returns to tell the remaining designers that Andrea is safely home, Kooan announces he will be leaving the show as well. His "reason" being, he wants to make it as a designer his own way. Again, just RUDE. With contestants Andrea and Kooan now out of the competition voluntarily, Tim Gunn returns from seeing Kooan out, breaking the ice by mentioning he is scared to make any more announcements, which is met with laughs from the designers. To better lighten the moon he announces that Raul will be rejoining them. I think this is completely fair for Raul given that Andrea left the show the night he was eliminated.<br />

This week the designers were challenged by Michael Kors himself to create a look for "a woman on the go" stressing the importance of the transition from work to liesure, and fabric that does not easily wrinkle or damage. <br />

<span style="font-size: x-small;"><br /></span></div>
In the work room, it was hard for everyone to keep focused. With all of the drama over the last few days, the distraction some contestants in particular faced showed both physically and mentally. Nathan could not hold in his tears after his fellow designers decided to leave the show, and poor Buffi was so out of it she ended up going home! I understand that this is a television show and the show must go on, but I think everyone as a whole would have benefitted from a day off after such a rough day.<br />

Heidi slightly resembled Flintstone's character Bamm-Bamm, but only because I watched the show when I was young. The dress is adorable, and I think she looks fantastic! This look could have gone SO wrong with the wrong accessories. She kept it simple, which translated into elegance. Elegance and leopard?? Only Heidi Klum!</div>

<span style="font-size: x-small;"><br /></span></div>
Now to my favorite part. The models hit the runway. Once again I was torn between so many of the designs. I loved the exposed zipper on Ven's dress and the layers upon layers Melissa draped her model in, although neither of these looks made it into the top three. <br />

<div style="text-align: left;">
Despite my dislike of Elena as a person, her designs are starting to grow on me. Ok, THIS design grew on me. I was transfixed on her model from the moment she walked around the corner. I do not know how she kept this under $150, it looks so expensive, and isn't that what the judges always love. I'm surprised that she was not in the top three, for once I think she deserved to be there.</div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
The top three this week were Chris, Dmitry, and Sonija. I loved Chris' look, but I think I looks a little too high fashion to go to the grocery store with the kids. Dmitry's one seam dress was beautiful, but I agree with Michael Kors when he said a bright color would have made all the difference with this design. I have to sympathize with Dmitry though because he struggled quite a bit trying to find a fabric that he thought would work well at Mood.</div>

<span style="font-size: x-small;"><br /></span>
<br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
The bottom looks were easily identifiable in this challenge. Fabio also landed in the bottom three, but only because he strayed from his design aesthetic. I think next week, if his designs are true to himself, we may see a complete transformation (or so I hope). I do not think Buffi even really had a chance of making it to the finale, but I was sad to see her go in such a negative light. I know her sewing was awful this week, but she was very distant mentally. Yes, she deserved to go home BUT I can't wait to see more from her in the future! I'm going to give Raul a pass this week only because he started late, was off pace with the others, and had to reacclimate himself with the show. If he really needs to be sent home next week I'm sure the judges won't hesitate.</div>

With the olympics flashing by, keep the spirit alive by sporting pieces that flaunt your country's national colors! August will be full of red, white, and blue for me, how about you? My must have accessories this month are pyramid studs. Wether they are an accent on your shorts or simple earrings, the sharp edges present a modern flare. My challenge to you all, step outside your comfort zone and try on an outfit that boasts sharp, bold lines.<br />

This was probably one of the most rediculous episodes of project runway I have ever seen. The contestants were divided into pairs and assigned to a "special client", which ended up being winners from previous Project Runway seasons. Teams included: Melissa and Dmitry, Kooan and Gunnar, Fabio and Ven, Christopher and Andrea, Sonjia and Nathan, Raul and Alicia, Elena and Buffi. Of course Elena and Gunnar had something to say, both bashing their partners aesthetics and skills. This mad me upset because their partners, Kooan and Buffi, were both excited to work with them.<br />

In the work room, some teams worked better together than others. Elena had a melt down because she did not think they would have time to complete their formal gowns, maybe if she had trusted Buffi with more than pleating she would not have been as worried. In the end the team pulled through, not as a top contender, but at least they were safe.<br />

Christopher held it together as best he could as problem after problem hindered them as a result of Andrea's time consuming work habits. Despite Alicia and Raul's unsuccessful creation, they worked well together as a team, as did team Sonjia/Nathan and team Melissa/Dmitry.</div>

Once again, I did not agree with the judges decisions when the designers' concepts hit the runway. The top spots were awarded to team Gunnar/Kooan and team Ven/Fabio. I honestly believe that both Melissa/Dmitry and Sonjia/Nathan's gowns displayed more of the qualities I would look for in a red carpet gown, over Gunnar and Kooan. </div>

Ven and Fabio's dress was perfect! The design was fresh and fun, while maintaining "Emmy" chic. They should be very proud of the design they created. How much better can it get than seeing your own gown grace the red carpet personally at the Emmys!?</div>

Alicia and Raul took the judges critics with their heads held high, understanding the critical mistake they had made by straying from their design aesthetic and not tailoring the perfect suit. By the time the judges got to Andrea and Chris you could see the pain in the designers faces. Chris can barely hold back his tears as he recalls the disasters of the work Andrea and himself have presented.</div>

So who went home this week? Raul. Raul specialized in men's wear and was weak when designing for women. The Project Runway winner needs to be versatile, and able to adapt to all types of situations, so I understand the judges process when making this elimination. What makes me sad is that if Andrea really did leave the night after elimination, she denied Raul the opportunity to redeem his mistakes and win this. Let's hope next week is not as bad as they made it out to be in the preview! It almost never is.</div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="background-color: white;">ATTENTION: Spoilers Ahead!</span></div>
</div>
These designers are not making picking a favorite easy for me this season! I love that most of them are staying true to their own design aesthetics, even if they do not think it is the best decision for judging. <br />
<br />
Heidi Klum, dressed in a plaid dress with an accent leopard print belt that I think looks a lot like one of the dresses I used in my "sneaker wedges" post, greeted the designers at the runway. Post introduction, the designers met up with Tim Gunn at Dylan's Candy Bar. By now the designers have put two-and-two together that this is the materials challenge, during which designers are required to make pieces out of not so ordinary materials such as candy.<br />
<br />

<br /></div>
As always the designers are given a time restraint and left in the work room to let their imaginations run wild. The rivalry between the "good" and "evil" twins, as referred to by contestant Christopher Palu, continues to fest as Gunnar Deatherage continues to believe Chris feels "threatened" by him. After winning the first challenge, I honestly think Gunnar is the last thing on his mind. This is such a difficult contest to win, and you cannot get distracted by the pettiness of others.<br />

I had to pick my jaw up off the floor when Heidi's debuted her second outfit on the runway. A snakeskin sweatsuit. While this outfit would have been great for movie night with your family, and we all dig a little snakeskin, let's stick to one accent piece that doesn't make us look sloppy, yes?<br />

Do I think the right person went home this week? No, not necessarily. I guess I was kind of expecting Elena to go home. I think her designs are old and used. We already have designers who create pieces with sharp, bold edges. Don't get me wrong black is my favorite color, there is no reason why you cannot create something that stays within the rules of the challenge and holds to your design aesthetic. Melissa created an all black look out of licorice that looked almost identical to real leather as her model graced the runway. <br />

I wanted to give Lantie one more try. Although her outfit did not embrace the candy element to it's fullest potential, she did use candy and her design was wearable. She was one of the older contestants this season, and I really wish I could have gotten a chance to see more of what she could do with real materials. Part of it could also be my vendetta against Elena. <span style="background-color: white;">Elena seems rather bothered by the judges heavy critics, all of which excluding the fact that pina colada licorice keeps shedding from the dress. </span><span style="background-color: white;">Michael Kors was right in saying that she presented herself in an arrogant way for being in the bottom three. </span><br />

<span style="background-color: white;">I almost agreed with the top three contestants, Sonjia and Ven definitely deserved to be there. Did you have to put Gunnar in the top three? I know he made his own accessories out of candy, but now we have to listen to even more ranting on his behalf. Instead of Gunnar being the third finalist, Alicia's candy take on over-alls or Dimitri's candy-beaded flapper dress could have easily snagged top spots. </span><br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
WARNING: </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This is not the place to look classy or chic. Load up on your brightest attire because you are headed to a place where neon thrives! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
</div>
<span style="background-color: white;">Tie-Dye</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white;">Here is your chic, Hippie Chic. Everyone is experimenting with different dying techniques, and it is relatively easy to find cute pieces almost anywhere. If you can't find what you are looking for, why not throw a tie-dye party. That way you and your friends can all rock pieces of art personally created by YOU!</span><br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
Bathing Suit</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I made the mistake of not bringing a bathing suit top to camp. It is great to have for during the day, it's usually HOT and who wants tan lines? <span style="background-color: white;">Make sure your top ties behind the neck, better safe than sorry!</span><span style="background-color: white;"> If you're really feeling bold rock your entire bikini. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
</div>
<span style="background-color: white;">TUTUS!</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white;">Seriously buy a Tutu. How can you not have fun in a Tutu, and when will you ever get to wear one again? Indulge yourselves ladies! They come in almost every color or color combination.</span><br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="background-color: white;">Supportive Sneakers</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="background-color: white;">Do not wear your cute new Steve Madden sandals or your sparkly pink Toms. The walkways are most likely going to be gravel, so you are going to want a supportive shoe. Shoes made for extreme </span><span style="background-color: white;">activities</span><span style="background-color: white;"> such as skateboarding or BMX will give you both support and grip. My DC high tops were great all weekend, but dont forget good socks, blisters can really ruin things fast. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="background-color: white;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="background-color: white;">Graphic tee's and tanks</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="background-color: white;">Simple. Funny. Cheap. But most importantly can stand to get dirty, smelly, sweaty, dusty, and gross. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="background-color: white;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="background-color: white;">Ripped Leggings</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I saw a girl rocking these leggings at camp and I fell in love. Leggings are great light weight bottoms that allow plenty of movement for dancing, and these have slits for breathing! No getting sweaty for this chick.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="background-color: white;">Sunglasses</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="background-color: white;">The crowd favorite seems to be Ray-Ban knock offs, and why fix something if it isn't broken? Scoop a pair of neon shades from Nordstrom's BP, Charlotte Russe, or a gas station on the way there if you must. You are not going to want to be without these on a bright, summer day.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="background-color: white;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="background-color: white;">Bandanas</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="background-color: white;">Unless the forecast is calling for rain you are going to want a bandana, or scarf, to cover your mouth and nose. The dust can get overwhelming fast, so make sure you have one or the other on hand.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="background-color: white;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="background-color: white;">Flower Headbands</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="background-color: white;">These are just fun. Let out your inner "Flower Child" with one of these flower head bands. There were even vendors at the festival selling their own hand made headbands. Support small business and local artists!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="background-color: white;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="background-color: white;">Crystal Wire Wraps</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="background-color: white;">Another art form that is highly prevalent is crystal jewelry. Wire wraps are made with crystals into beautiful designs, each boasting it's own "spiritual" purpose. Each crystal has a different energy, and when combined correctly can create an aura of positivity. Support these local artists, and leave with a custom made piece charged with uplifting memories</span></div>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02696383668514686654noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6093315696775091468.post-28020054093272045432012-07-20T20:41:00.002-07:002012-07-23T20:27:34.798-07:00July High Fashion Hits<div xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">

<span style="line-height: 16px; text-align: left; white-space: pre-line;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">I love blues and nudes for this July. Royal blue patterns made to mirror Italian Spode create an antique chic. Who needs a cardigan when you can throw on your fitted, denim hoodie both comfy and cute.</span></span></div>

Now, while the essence of this blog is to bring you updates on the latest fashion trends, I want it to be more than that. The world of fashion is created not only by the articles of clothing on our backs, but by the events and people that inspire them. This past weekend (July 12-15) I attended my first Camp Bisco in Mariaville, NY. I had no idea going into this trip that it would leave me with memories and connections that will last a life time.<br />
<br />
First thing is first, I want to give a shout out to our amazing neighbors for making this experience priceless. To my girls from Florida/New York City, I am so glad we got to sit around roasting marshmallows and talking about fashion! Who our favorite designers of the moment are (such as Marc Jacobs and Prada), and who we think has gone a little overboard this season (sorry Michael Kors). Fashion really does bring people together! Warped Tour here we come :) Another shout out to our Grassroots Movement FAM from Massachusetts, I hope you all stay safe at Gathering of the Vibes this weekend!<br />
<br />
Before I talk about the good, the bad, and the ugly fashion I saw at camp I want to talk about the music. Music is just as beautiful to me as fashion, and both have been a passion of mine from a young age. Going VIP to Camp Bisco XI allowed me and my fiance front row passes to some of our favorite artists. Sets we got to see included of course The Disco Biscuits, Skrillex, Amon Tobin ISAM, Bassnectar, Zeds Dead, Zedd, Porter Robinson, Dillon Francis, DJ Craze, Mimosa, Minnesota, Alvin Risk, Kill The Noise, Lotus, Dada Life, Big Gigantic, Daedelus, Break Science, The M Machine, Gigantic Underground Conspiracy, and Future Rock.<br />
<br />
One DJ duo I was not excited to see was Zeds Dead. They were one of the first sets that we went to, and my fiance had to do some serious talking to get me go in the first place. I am so thankful for his persistance. While I have not been particularly fond of the music Zeds Dead has released in the past, their live set portrayed both a different sound and feel. Mixing both new and old tracks, you got the sense that this team is searching for something deeper in their sound, expanding outside of their usual element. My favorite song of the entire music festival ended up being their new, unreleased track "Cowboy". If you have not heard of Zeds Dead I strongly suggest checking out their latest remix of Colin Munroe ft Pusha T's "Fight of Your Life". Their new EP featuring "Cowboy" will be released this Tuesday July 24, 2012.<br />

Out of the many labels who "curated" tents with their artists, Skrillex's label OWSLA far exceeded my expectations. As you can probably tell by the lists of sets I attended, many on this label were the first on my list to see, and the did not disappoint. Skrillex set the mood for the weekend Thursday evening with his sunSET, boasting high quality video screens, pyrotechnics, and fireworks that were timed flawlessly with his set. Closing out the first night of camp, post Skrillex, were Zedd and Porter Robinson. Both OWSLA artists played back to back sets, even throwing down together during some of their most popular tracks.</div>

Friday was a rather chill day full of jams. Most of the day was spent meandering, checking out artists' booths, and dropping by the mainstage to catch a few of our favorite tracks from artists such as Break Science and Lotus. The real wonder of the night was Amon Tobin ISAM. This Brazilian electronics musician, composer, and producer is considered to be one of the most influential electronic music artists in the world! The ISAM, Inverted Sounds Applied to Music, project displays a visual presentation of Tobin's album. Whenever Amon Tobin brings this tour over to the states, His shows sell out in only a matter of seconds. If you have the opportunity to experience this true form of art, do not miss out!<br />

<br />
Minnesota started our Saturday with a set in the B.I.G Tent. A lesser known talent of the weekend, hence the early set time, this was one of my most anticipated sets. The lighting technicians in this tent deserved just as much recognition as the DJs performing their sets. The light shows in the B.I.G tent were being mixed live by CLVR ATL, a design, production, and creative events group from Atlanta. This group has been helping run Camp Bisco for the last 5 years, and this year performed custom light shows for every DJ who did not have equipment of their own.<br />
<br />
CID Entertainment gave Bassnectar a killer time slot Saturday night, during which NO other artists were performing on any of the other four stages. Ironically, a faulty power supply cut Lorin off multiple times right at the drop momentarily throwing off the vibes in the crowd. Bassnectar fans stayed faithful and in the end the set was one that left everybody in the crowd enlightened. A-Trak closed out the night in the B.I.G tent, but we decided to be lazy VIP people (the walk to the other tent was quite the distance). Instead, we went to Gigantic Underground Conspiracy. This "super" jam bad includes members from The Disco Biscuits, Big Gigantic, Conspirator, and Underground Orchestra. The VIP tent was small, but packed a punch, with a full laser light show and no need for a fog machine. The band members played until they could play no more and we closed out camp with a sunrise.<br />

<span style="font-family: inherit;">I have started to see these shoes more often than I would have expected, and I have to admit they have grown on me.

Sneaker wedges dress up a casual outfit by adding the heel, but can also dress an outfit down for a more "hang loose" look.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: inherit;">InStyle's Summer Accessories 2012 popped up on my Google+ feed today, being an accessories junkie I had to click. My favorite accessories on the list were made of Raffia. Raffia is commonly used for accessories such as hats and bags because it is soft, durable, and is easy to dye. A triple threat in the world of accessories: Soft for comfort, durable for wearing again and again, and easy to customize!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;">Miuccia Prada's fall collection embraces both pattern and texture. This menswear inspired line creates an air of austere while maintaining feminine chic. I love the tailoring, and each look boasts a unique texture or print. Don't forget those amazing pumps, I can't get enough! These are some of my favorite looks:</span></div>

Patterns seem to be a big hit going into summer of 2012. The two most popular patterns being floral and aztec, and the bolder the better! If you are not wearing a pattern on your clothing, grab a POP accessory such as a bright clutch, patterned wedge, neon sandals, or chunky necklace. Gold statement pieces are my current go to. A thick chain or choker necklace puts the finishing touch on any classic neckline. The red lace dress seen here is also featured in the July 2012 issue of Lucky (which we all know comes out in June!). Check it out. </div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;">Darth Across America landed in Richmond yesterday. I was walking to Dixie Donuts (Maybe I should lay off the donuts), when a woman approached me with a Darth Vader helmet. San Francisco based photographer, Julie Schuchard, is traveling across the United States to showcase the people who live here. So of course, I put on the helmet.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;">What a beautiful day in Richmond! We started out the day with some DELICIOUS cake based donuts from locally owned and operated Dixie Donuts. We got a dozen gourmet donuts for $10, including flavors such as chocolate toffee, pb and j, peanut butter crunch, and dulce de leche. My personal favorite being the dulce de leche, layered in a yummy salted caramel topping. While I was impressed with their baking, the employees behind the counter were impressed with something completely different, my adorable puppies! Kyoto and Bella were such celebrities that they had their picture taken for "Customers of the Week"! I can't wait to share the picture with you all when it is posted :) </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">On that note, Kyoto's surgery went flawlessly, and he is currently curled up on my lap in recovery. Unfortunately he has to wear the "cone of shame" for the next 10 days! He is miserable about this of course. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;">After our trip to Carytown, since it was such a nice day, we decided to walk to the outdoor market only a few blocks from our apartment complex. We went to the 17th Street Farmers' Market expecting to find lots of vegetables. Instead we found vegetables, fruits, soaps, jewelry, scarves, and so much more. I wish we had got their sooner because some of the venders were beginning to pack up their things when we arrived. The "vintage" market is tomorrow from 9AM-4PM, maybe I will just have to check this out!</span></div>

Chihuahua puppies to be exact. They are the loves of my life, and are as part of the family as children. </span><br />
<div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">There are positives and negatives to owning a Chihuahua</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Negatives</span></div>
<div>
<ul>
<li><span style="font-family: inherit;">Sooner or later they will find their bark</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: inherit;">There is no such thing as too much play time</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: inherit;">Sometimes we play just a little too rough</span></li>
</ul>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Positives</span></div>
<div>
<ul>
<li><span style="font-family: inherit;">Tell them to shut up nicely and they usually do</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: inherit;">Their crazy antics could earn you money when that video you shot before bed goes viral</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: inherit;">You can train them to use a litter box</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: inherit;">Smart and Easy to train</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: inherit;">Minimal shedding</span></li>
</ul>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">So overall my dogs are a WIN</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">We got my first Chihuahua, Kyoto, in December 2011 when he was 12 weeks old. He was rescued from a puppy mill pet shop, but now lives the happiest life possible.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Here is Kyoto when I got him for Christmas!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;">Inconveniently ;) there was a chihuahua puppy in our apartment complex that needed a home. Little Miss Bella joined the family. This pudgy ball of fire was only 7 weeks old when we got her. We have had her for about a month now, and it is incredible how much she has learned. Kyoto teaches her too, I wish I could capture it all.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;">In order to occupy my many thoughts (My many amazing thoughts). I decided to write to you, whoever you are, internet browser extraordinaires!! For my first post I'm just going to let you get to know me. I currently work at Lex's of Carytown. If you live in Richmond (or outside Richmond) and you have not been yet please come visit! In the back of the store we carry designer dresses for formal occasions, and in the front of the store we carry clothing and jewelry from New York City. I love my job because I get to see how both casual and formal wear are progressing in the industry. The designs from year to year surprise me every time. I am most excited about our expansion at the end of the summer! We will be adding sections for mother of the bride, "after 5", and expanded our casual collection.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">I have wondered my whole life what I was supposed to do. I have competed in Equestrian, and many times debated going into a profession involving that. It was not until I started working for Theory that I found my passion. Theory is one of the 32 brands featured in New York Fashion Week. That's a pretty big deal. Theory is known for creating classic pieces that could work with anything in your wardrobe, and still be edgy. Although not everything was for me, I loved every design. I was submerged in high fashion! I was in charge of the "Inspiration Board", every season I would design a board of trends to inspire my co-worker's wardrobes. Don't worry I am going to post one on here!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">I am currently enrolled in Virginia Commonwealth University's Marketing program, and plan to pursue a Masters degree in Fashion Merchandising from the School of the Arts. The city of Richmond is full of culture, and with only one semester under my belt I still have so much to experience. I can't wait to share it all with you! </span></div>
