Lifestyle Trend Predictive Book
Sans Constrainte Enjoy an age, born from the ashes of frugality and parsimoniousness, where glamour and EXCESS are now the new ruler. As humanity is no longer constrained to think in terms of what is logical and literal, dreams and creativity are once again set free to flourish. Overabundance is ever-present in a scene drenched with lavish jewels, furs, and pearls. Bask in an ETHEREAL haze, disconnected from reality, where former boundaries become subdued. Get lost in worldly ESCAPADES, far from the dull and homely. Take charge of your life, as the TECHNOLOGY CONNOISSEUR automates the mundane to focus on what matters most. As the world becomes smaller, the ECO-CHIC understands the importance of sustainability, which is now incorporated into luxurious items in this era of opulence.
Ethereal Drift from the jaded and uninspired; transcend to follow dreams down the path of the unexpected. Inspired by the limitless bounds of the imagination, the haze is a fertile garden used to continually redefine oneself. No longer forced to think in terms of what is logical and literal, dreams and creativity are once again set free to flourish.
Escapades As the earth continues leaping to our fingertips and her appeal glows bright in our eyes, we venture to be inspired by faraway places to escape our dull, daily grind. The farther and more eclectic the places capture the mind of the creative.
Technology Connoisseur The evolution of technology allows us to be dependant on our innovations; we feel enthralled to own the most ground-breaking achievements in human existence. As scientists unravel and realize the dreams of designers, affordable wearable electronics can sense ambiance, environment, and movement. Alternative energy sources have been the main focus for decades, and with the help of the innovators and early adopters, solar panels are now painted across the rooftops and alternative energy is affordable..
Excess As the pains of the recession fade away, the finer things in life once again become a reality instead of a distant hope. Jewelry dangles freely from the bare necklines and wrists to show how lavish these times are. Thrifty and frugal are tired, while opulence radiates from the lounges and laughter fills the streets.
Eco-Chic After centuries of searching for a different world to live in, humanity realizes that their home’s wellbeing has been overlooked. As it dawns on us that our planet, with its delicate eco-system, is crumbling in our hands we try to educate the world on the importance of caring for it. With the previous years’ inadequate early adopters, there are countless who are simply lost, unable to hear the earth’s hums of discordance. Moreover, with the past’s economy collapse, not all the individuals who understand the issue at hand possess the wealth to be sustainable. In this day of prosperity and affluence, environmental friendliness becomes a viable choice.
