Wearing a banana clip has been considered the worst of the 80’s, and wearing a bow is considered to be too girlie, but ladies wearing a hair clip from Alexandre de Paris or The Bow from Ella Gorbo is like accepting the scrunchie from Slip. I literally run around in my Slip scrunchie, and ownContinue reading “Adult Hair Accessories”

Beauty Cult Sensation – Doctor Rogers “Restore”
This past weekend was the first weekend that started early and lasted longer, you can say that my skin suffered for it.

Parisian Trench
Trench coats are a Parisian staple, not just because they are cool to wear but because they protect you from the weather. I remember noticing the trench coat on Humphrey Bogart in the film Casablanca as he goes off into the night, well covered in his lightweight long coat…the Trench coat. Although Burberry of LondonContinue reading “Parisian Trench”
Life Imitates Art
I love discovering art where we can identify with the clothing, not that the classics are not enjoyable to view too. I just love art, if I could do it all over again, a museum curator would be an option, besides being a magazine editor. It’s nice to know that the crisp white shirt hasContinue reading “Life Imitates Art”
Nouvelle Trend: “Plaid for Spring”
Paris is the Fashion capital of the world, and this Spring, I’ve noticed a new trend amongst the usual Spring looks of florals that is expected every season, a strong nod to “plaid during the Spring”.

Is the Scarf Making a Comeback?
Scarves have been a favorite accessory for decades. They can be tied in your hair, on your handbag, tied around your neck in various ways. I didn’t realize I could wear a scarf along with my pearls until I watched Nicole Kidman play Grace of Monaco. I’ve looked everywhere for an example, but could notContinue reading “Is the Scarf Making a Comeback?”
Le Cinéma – Joanna Kulig
I didn’t realize I was a Joanna Kulig FAN until “Cold War” I’ve seen 5 of her films and now I just want to see everything she’s ever been in. She reminds me of Kim Basinger, talented and gorgeous.
