What is style? It starts off with embracing yourself, your body and loving yourself regardless of your weight. Then you add wearing pieces you love, and investing in quality basics, a nice handbag, a coat, sunglasses and some Jewlery and a nice pair of shoes. I used to think that one should not wear moreContinue reading “The Epitome of Modern Style”

All I Want For Christmas……
I’ve been shopping for myself early, and have one more package arriving, then I have to start saving for my San Miguel de Allende/DF trip in January 2022. This is a quick list of things I would love to receive. Mind you, nothing I need, just Most Wanted Christmas 2021. One of these beauty packagesContinue reading “All I Want For Christmas……”
It’s All About Hosiery
Before the pandemic began, two years ago I had seen a photo of a woman wearing converse with fishnet stockings for socks. I became enamored and immediately ordered a new pair of converse and fishnet stockings. Which I have not been able to wear yet. I love everything about the photo above, love the texture,Continue reading “It’s All About Hosiery”
The Black Turtleneck
The black turtleneck can be worn with anything in your wardrobe, from denim to trousers, skirts and shorts. It can be worn under a navy trench coat, a camel coat, or a poncho. Anything goes when you’re wearing a black turtleneck. I have several in my closet and can’t wait to wear them, the mostContinue reading “The Black Turtleneck”

Indulgences
Listening to Ms. Picardie speak on a live Q&A on Instagram intrigued me, Miss Dior is now on it’s way home to me. I also didn’t realize that Christian Dior created Miss Dior, the fragrance for his sister or that she was his muse. This will make for a lovely read this holiday. Instead ofContinue reading “Indulgences”
It’s a Parisian Winter
I love looking at my friend Cindy’s Instagram wall. I imagine myself walking along the streets of Paris with her. I’ve only been to Paris twice and each time, I went as a tourist, trying to get in as much as I could before the end of my 5-day stay. On my next visit, IContinue reading “It’s a Parisian Winter”
The Camille Ballerinas
Now I know what my wardrobe is missing, it’s missing a pair of Camille ballerinas by Repetto. I love this woman’s style. It’s modern, yet classic and timeless. My wish list has expanded, in order to do justice one would need a neutral, black and a beautiful red. There is a gorgeous pink too! Here’sContinue reading “The Camille Ballerinas”
Glorious Tresses
The pandemic is almost over, I hope. My beauty routine has been infringed upon as much as I can stand at this point. I welcome the days when my presence was required, at least a few days out of the week. I am a product junkie I admit. I went through my beauty products andContinue reading “Glorious Tresses”
The Chiffon Scarf
My old 1030’s movie watching has begun now that fall is in the air. I started with The Holiday, starring Katherine Hepburn and Cary Grant (yes, my crush on Cary Grant continues). The first thing I noticed, besides how dashing Mr. Grant was, and that the dialog and delivery were magnificent, was Katherine Hepburn’s eveningContinue reading “The Chiffon Scarf”
My Current Wishlist
It’s good to always have a Wishlist. Of course mine includes travel, well-being and mental health. Alas, I am susceptible to emails that include really good marketing gimmicks. Like the email blast from Cuyana that mentions this beautiful Alpaca reversible cape. I imagine myself wearing it, walking around Paris or New York, wearing over aContinue reading “My Current Wishlist”
It’s a Charlotte Tilbury Christmas
Last year it was an Estee Lauder Christmas, this year I just really liked the gift selection from Charlotte Tilbury and the prices are budget friendly, this means ladies you can buy one for you too, which I have. I also bought several gift sets from Dior, but mainly for myself. I just love theContinue reading “It’s a Charlotte Tilbury Christmas”
New In Beauty Now
I recently discovered Static, a nail company and their products look good, from their packaging to their nail polish colors and their faux nails. I’m tempted to try them out, and will most likely at some point. I have a hard time with long nails and I’ve always admired women with long nails. I justContinue reading “New In Beauty Now”
Layering Up this Fall
The chill factor has officially set in today, it’s windy and cold. I had on a sweater for my morning walk this morning with the idea that I would eventually have to take it off once the walking was underway. No chance of that happening, it stayed cold and windy, even with the speed walking.Continue reading “Layering Up this Fall”
A Case For The Suede Handbag
It’s been a long time since I’ve admired suede handbags. But now, recently as of this morning, I am thinking about an unstructured suede handbag in a color that isn’t black. I mean, I know Mr. Santos and he can fix anything, so if I over wear it, he can make it come back toContinue reading “A Case For The Suede Handbag”
