Wild Things
This set features a stunning Lanvin top. I am so excited that we now carry this beautiful collection at Richards/Mitchells. Reknown designer, Alber Elbaz loves to use feminine fabrics that drape like silk charmeuse.
His clothes are often quiet on the hangar, but oh-so elegant on.

Happy at last! And then comes...




Call me crazy, but I have always felt badly that Brad kicked Jen to the
curb for Angelina. It's hard enough when these things happen to friends
in suburbia. When it happens to one of Hollywood's golden couples
under the harsh glare of the media it's particularly rough. As a result,
I have always had a soft spot for Jen.
Something tells me this one, her current love interest Justin Theroux,
is the one. I frequent many websites everyday including Red Carpet Fashion Awards and The Fancy for images that capture my interest.
I saved this lovely love shot of Jen and Justin, and shortly after spotted
this adorable tot. It made me smile to think one day, she too, may know
the joys of motherhood.
Am I crazy, or could that be a baby bump beneath that scarf and bag?
Here's hoping...

Elegance inspires me...
My Polyvore obsession continues!!! I am so inspired by the incredibly talented women from all over the world who curate beautiful fashion sets for all to admire. I am awed.
They definitely sharpen my eye. I "curate" items I find from all over the Internet and save them in a collection to use in future sets.
My family is quite artistic. I could never draw a straight line with a ruler. I am loving this. I hope you will indulge me. I promise to still try every lotion and potion that comes my way...

Gifted

I often hear the same refrain from friends and family, "YOU are impossible to buy a gift for". Really???...Why??? Has Sephora stopped selling gift cards???!!!
If you truly know and love me, this, in any denomination, makes my heart flutter. The joy of a gift card is the license to splurge on something even I think is extravagant.
Case in point: I have visited the Guerlain display before, trying to rationalize away the desire to spend $53.00 on face powder. On my own dime, not a chance!!! Gift card in hand, I am Kim Kardashian.
Receiving Guerlain's Meteorites Poudre pour le Visage, would put a smile on any beauty mavens face. The packaging is so pretty: a round, gold and pink cabana, that looks like something Jeannie would have lived in, on vacation. Inside, a kaleidoscope of powder balls in pink, raspberry, creme, gold, apricot and coral nestle together, looking sweet enough to eat. I love swirling them together, with a big Kabuki brush, as the last step in my morning maquillage. Tout suite, a quiet glow emerges, from ear to ear, (especially since I include my earlobes). A lasting finish, that keeps my make up fresh, literally, all day. I can't ever imagine getting down to the last perles. Making a great case for beauty amortization, I imagine I will be using this (free) purchase for the next 5 years.
Se magnifique!!!
So Dear, I know you peruse my Blog now and again...I hope you see this one. For Valentine's Day, skip the roses or the chocolates, a gift card to Sephora is truly the way to my heart, (unless of course you visited a jewelry store...then the above is null and void).
Happy Snow Day to my readers in the Northeast and Happy Valentines Day too.
