Jennifer Aniston looked radiant on the Red Carpet at the International Film Festival in Toronto.  She showed her lovely shape to all its best advantages in this pale blue Vivienne Westwood strapless dress. 

She kept her legs looking long and lean, with simple nude patent pumps and not a wisp of adornment besides her own shining locks.

The set I created is a popular Polyvore feature, where members create the, "Look for Less".

This dress is Societe Anonyme and is available at Farfetch.com for $136.  The nude patent pumps are Michael Antonio and are $49 at Zappos.com.

Yes, for $185 we can look just like Jenn.

Ya...

Chaos: Punk to Couture

Punk to Couture by divadebbi

Yesterday was a perfect NYC day. Sunny, blue skies and crisp.  I met my sister Loren at the Metropolitan Museum of Art where we enjoyed a lovely Birthday lunch at the Petrie Court Cafe and Wine Bar which overlooks Central Park and the Sculpture Garden that they bequeathed.

We wanted to see the new Costume Institute Exhibit Chaos: Punk to Couture.  I'm not sure anything can ever eclipse the blockbuster Alexander McQueen exhibit from 2011.  McQueen's genius was singular, but it was expertly curated for the viewer to understand the influence of early 80's punk.

There were some exquisitely executed designs represented by Mcqueen, Vivien Westwood, Maison Martin Margiela, Dolce & Gabanna and Prada. The days influence resonated with me in the Polyvore set I created above.

Even more interesting was the exceptional Impressionism Fashion and Modernity, which chronicles the influence of fashion on art in Paris during the period of 1860- 1880.

It closes on May 27th.  If you are in the NY area, I highly recommend seeing it before it leaves.  Glorious.

We walked back along 5th Avenue which has a lovely residential feeling between the Met and 59th St., with exquisitely manicured Co-ops on one side and Central Park on the other.

We said our goodbyes and as I headed towards Grand Central, I saw the incomparable Bill Cunningham on his bicycle stopped at a light on 42nd St.  He looked up and we exchanged smiles.  I perched my hands in prayer and nodded to a familiar stranger, whose videos of NY fashion I devour every Sunday in the NY Times.

Like I said, a perfect NYC day.  To my darling Sis, I love you madly and I wish you a Happy Birthday this and always.  We have long shared a vision of us in the future,  arm in arm, two old ladies perched on the Fifth Avenue bus.  We are not there yet, but the vision remains...of course there is always Paris...

Sometimes Life is a Circus... Promoted by Balenciaga

Sometimes Life is a Circus... by divadebbi 

I didn't win the 520 million dollar lottery, but I did have a really great week on Polyvore...essentially the equivalent.

I am incredibly honored and thrilled to have in one week, received honors for Top Sets and three corporate promotions from Nars Cosmetics, Ted Baker and Balenciaga.   In this set I included  Balenciaga's  fabulous accessories in this lighthearted set. I am so pleased they liked it.

My sets have now received over 1.1 million views and I am close to achieving my goal of 2000 followers by the end of next month.  I think it's really important to always be trying new things, striving to improve and setting and achieving goals.

Internal beauty is a gift you can choose to give yourself...

Puppy Love...

Puppy Love... by divadebbi 

I don't know why I didn't think of this sooner!

Yes, my Polyvore pals' liked the Vivienne Westwood top and Marc Jacobs skirt  I paired with the Burberry ankle boots and rose hued Mulberry bag.

What they really went mad for was the adorable tee shirted pup that I added to the set. Who knew?  Well I do now.

Keep your eyes peel for babies, puppies and kittens, tucked into my set like monkey wrenches they used to hide in the Highlight Puzzles in my Dentist's reception area.

This old dog is always happy to learn a new trick...
