Oh, A Rivière
I’ve had my eye on rivière necklaces for years now, I really don’t want to invest in a piece of Jewelry that I feel I wouldn’t wear often. It would be something that I would wear on occasion, my personality would feel it wasn’t right for my actual day job, although maybe it would be.Continue reading “Oh, A Rivière”
Oh, Plaid
I was in Chicago over the past weekend and couldn’t help but notice that Plaid was strong in Chicago. I must have seen 5 different women wearing plaid with their designer bags and shoes walking up and down E Oak Street. E Oak Street is the fashionable street of Chicago, like Dearborn Street is toContinue reading “Oh, Plaid”

The Epitome of Modern Style
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”

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”

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 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”
