It’s cold in Paris now, and the Fall has turned to Winter cold. What are the Parisians wearing now you may ask? The stand out trend this month is the shearling jackets and coats. Everyone has a shearling something in our closets by now, and December is the month to start bringing your shearling out.Continue reading “T’is the Season for Shearling”

A Chicago Christmas
Usually my sister’s and I plan a trip to NYC the week before Christmas. But it’s been two years since I’ve been to NYC, and this year to change things up a bit we took a weekend trip to Chicago. Can I just say that I fell-in-love with Chicago. It’s like a mini NYC, MichiganContinue reading “A Chicago Christmas”
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”
This Winter’s Basic Essentials
Never underestimate the power of a wardrobe staple, they make the best traveling companions and you can create various styles with them, giving each piece new life. These can also be worn under bulky sweaters, added for extra warmth. You can even wear these items with sneakers or boots. How’s that for longevity? Oh me,Continue reading “This Winter’s Basic Essentials”
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”
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”
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”
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”
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”
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”
Shopping The Look
This summer look is simple, yet chic. It proves that less is more. I’ve never been a big fan of summer and although I am not out every-night eating alfresco, I still don’t want summer to end. Perhaps having been in hibernation for close to two years, I’ve warmed up to the hotter weather. IContinue reading “Shopping The Look”
