Cher: The early days

I admire Cher. She has always taken pride in her looks. Lately, she is over-the-top but still captivating. In the 60s and 70s, she was really breathtaking. Long and lean with hair noir. She has never been afraid to take sartorial risks and therefore remains iconic.

Emma Enchanted

I’m a fan of Emma Watson’s. She seems to have a good head on her shoulders and has grown up to be lovely young woman. Plus I love the pixie cut. If I were contractually obligated not to cut my hair, I’d probably chop it too.

“I am really un-fussy. I don’t think I could ever wear a full look. Low-heeled old-lady pumps haunt my nightmares.” TTH


I just read a Refinery29 article on Marie Claire style and accessories director Taylor Tomasi Hill and her chic apartment. She has such an interesting, unconventional style and gorgeous hair.

When asked by Refinery29:

What are your five key wardrobe pieces, things you wear constantly?
1. “Burberry trench coats, a great classic staple for fall or spring.”
2. “Madewell destroyed boyfriend jeans, I dress them up with my YSL heels for the office, or down with sneakers for traveling.”
3. “Punkrose leopard print sneakers, my go-to for days when my feet can’t take anything over .5 inches.”
4. “Chanel bag, I just got a large 2.55 after years of lusting after it. This one is the perfect carryall. My other tiny Chanel bags were always exploding with all the stuff I would try to pack in them.”
5. “My Rick Owens leather jacket, I can mix it with anything for an edgier effect. They are so expensive, but I stay on their radar and email list to make sure I’m always there for the sales.”

ASOS Stateside!

I have long slobbered over the gorgeous/affordable offerings from mega-online-British-retailer ASOS. However, I had forgotten they were creating a site for US customers until today. AND they are offering free shipping and free returns. I also must note for any interested parties, ASOS has just as much to offer for men’s fashion – that might require a separate post.

Umm for Christmas, may I have everything?

Warning: Slobber likely ahead.

Menagerie

Sometimes (lots of times) I feel like I live in a much less glamorous version of this.

Let’s you & me head to the beach? Before it gets really chilly…

Sounds good, huh?
