Elegant simplicity Explanation: Just an idea, if I understand correctly from the context given. I think you still need two words for a title, just my opinion. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 36 mins (2010-05-26 22:08:55 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- I do think that the word "unpretentious" that filippoc suggested is really good here, but it needs to be followed by something else, I feel. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 2 hrs (2010-05-26 23:50:07 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- ...I am also thinking of "understated beauty"... |
