The GREAT Iris Apfel

The GREAT Iris Apfel





My good friend Q., who writes my favorite Lifestyle blog Quintessence
recently got to hear the divine Mrs. Iris Apfel, speak.

I remember seeing a Metropolitan Museum Costume Exhibit of her extraordinary wears, layered with her iconic jewelry collection. Her style is so unique, clever and lively that she is a joy to behold.

Q.'s blog includes an audio tape of her interview with Huffington Post Sr. Style Editor Brie Dyas. 

How inspiring to still be inspiring in your nineties.  A Goddess among women...

Portrait of a Lady


I have a new addiction...I have spoken of it before.  My adoration for the daily fashion blog Red Carpet Fashion Awards.  Edited by its creator Catherine Kallon aka "Fashion Critic", aka FC, this Time Magazine top 25 website of 2011, brings us a prodigious amount of photos and commentary on what's being worn on the Red Carpet worldwide.  I'm awed by FC's output, and ability to seemingly be everywhere at once.

One of the most enjoyable aspects of this website is that it fosters a community of fashion obsessed commenter's. FC engages us to express our own opinions and it's always interesting to see the diversity in our takes. Visiting this site each day had definitely sharpened my own eye and appreciation for great styling and all the details, tailoring, hair, makeup and accessories, that go into making a particular outfit a, "BDOTW" (Best Dressed of the Week) contender.

It also makes me really appreciate women who consistently make an effort to wow us with grace and beauty.  Here are some of my favorite "Ladies". Their style knows no age, race or ethnicity...only elegance:
