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”
Beauty Temptations At Dior
I noticed these beautiful eyeshadow and makeup palettes yesterday and have been thinking about them ever since. I just imagine myself needing the makeup palette with the eyeshadows and lipsticks. I can see myself taking a trip where packing my beauty arsenal is supposed to be minimal but effective. Where I quickly bounce out ofContinue reading “Beauty Temptations At Dior”
The Fall Coat
The fall coat is a basic essential that can elevate basic casual attire and conceal wardrobe sins. By wardrobe sins I mean concealing old beat up sweat pants, faded shirts past their prime and rolling out of bed to go out on a coffee run. Here we see Naomi Watts taking her dog out forContinue reading “The Fall Coat”
Is it Too Early for Christmas Shopping
While I was in Maui last month there were Christmas trees, ornaments and all kinds of Christmas vibes. Now in London, the public Christmas trees will be going up soon, makes me wonder how early is too early? Last year I started Christmas shopping in October, and I started Christmas shopping again this past week.Continue reading “Is it Too Early for Christmas Shopping”
An Exciting Collection
I agonized over which new Basquiat Converse to order, I could eventually have them all, the price point is affordable, but I have a hard enough time wearing the sneakers I already own. However one can’t go wrong with either of the choices, they will all make an all black assemble pop. I ended upContinue reading “An Exciting Collection”
Fall Wardrobe Additions
Well it’s officially the first day of fall. I recently purchased a new fall coat I plan on wearing today, running errands in the city requires a more urban feel than the kaftans I’ve been wearing. I have plenty of outerwear but I like updating my wardrobe, there are always new pieces one can addContinue reading “Fall Wardrobe Additions”
Style Profile: Michele Quattrin of mQn Photography
I’ve known Michele for decades, you could say we were best friends during our bar hopping days, yes we went bar hopping and were quite a pair, the blonde and the brunette. Many a night we had drinks brought over to our side of the room. But we decided a long time ago not toContinue reading “Style Profile: Michele Quattrin of mQn Photography”
More Scenes From Paris
This is Paris fashion week and I chose photos that are realistic, that are easily adaptable. Clothes that reflect style, good taste and glamour. I’m actually excited for the weekend, actually have an event planned and I’ll be able to test out some of my style options, to see if my vision works and doesn’tContinue reading “More Scenes From Paris”
Beauty Most Wanted
I don’t need anything, I know I keep saying that and I keep shopping. Sometimes I admit that I shop out of boredom, but most of the time everything is just too perfect to pass up. Like the little pots of Lid Luster by Victoria Beckham or the Emotion Proof Eye shadows by Tom Ford.Continue reading “Beauty Most Wanted”
Scenes From Milan
I prefer to see women wearing everyday clothes, women going about their day, expressing themselves. True style is about being remembered, not standing out in flamboyant fashion. Street style for me is far better than the runway. Street Style is the runway of life. I remember when I was in my early twenties and myContinue reading “Scenes From Milan”
Favorite New York City Restaurants
My sisters and I and our friend Lily usually visit New York the week before Christmas, it’s become a yearly tradition. We have afternoon tea at the Plaza, walk around Central Park, visit The Met, the Museum of Modern Art, hang out in SoHo and we always have brunch at Balthazar, you have to goContinue reading “Favorite New York City Restaurants”
