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”
The Gold Statement Necklace
Fall will be here before we know it, the last bits of summer are almost gone. I’m a little sad about that, because I only took a 10 day vacation, and feel like I didn’t do enough to warrant wearing my summer kaftans. But I love fall, I prefer the cold to the heat andContinue reading “The Gold Statement Necklace”
Preparing for Fall
I know that I’m not ready to let Summer go, but at the same time I am looking forward to refreshing my Fall/Winter wardrobe. I made a few purchases, that I am very pleased with. I can wear the COS wool dress with leggings, booties or sneakers and a long sleeved T-shirt underneath, I likeContinue reading “Preparing for Fall”
The Beauty Counter
Several weekends ago my sister and I went downtown for the first time in almost two years. We chose to go to Neiman Marcus because it felt like a safe place, everyone was wearing a mask and following the CDC guidelines. I was looking for a concealer, one to match my N3 foundation by Chanel,Continue reading “The Beauty Counter”
Summer Isn’t Over, Yet…..
I’m just not ready to let go of Summer, yet. I had a nice vacation, falling asleep to the sound of the Pacific Ocean and waking-up organically. I went as far as to buy kaftans at Blue Ginger and now find myself a few days later, wearing kaftans around the house. I also remembered thatContinue reading “Summer Isn’t Over, Yet…..”
Style Profile: Denisse Kuri, Fashion Designer
There was a time when I traveled to Mexico once a year, as a child it was to Muzquiz, Coahuila and Acuna, Coahuila to visit family. As I matured, I visited other parts of Mexico, Monterrey, Nuevo Leon, DF and Guadalajara. I love Mexico and I always brought back Mexican dresses and blouses, that IContinue reading “Style Profile: Denisse Kuri, Fashion Designer”
It’s a Ladylike Summer
Leave it to the Olsen twins to look polished and pulled together during the hottest days of the year. I stare at their photos as inspiration. They make mixing metals and color pallets look effortless. This definitely makes me want to bring out my long pearls and wear black and camel together. Here’s to runningContinue reading “It’s a Ladylike Summer”
