NEVER TOO LATE



man! too late for easter egg decorating (a pastime i miss and always LOVED), but how beautiful are these?! designed with earth friendly dyes; tumeric, beet juice, coffee & tea. who knew you could make chic easter eggs...
-thank you to beauty everyday for this post!

VALENTINO.

Just watched the documentary, Valentino: The Last Emperor. Excellent! Lovely and inspiring.

HAREM



the style and silhouette of harem pants have been my most favorite for ages. some folks dont appreciate them too much & those same folks may think these copper sequin and beaded covered versions are hideous. but i think they are absolutely LOVELY. and only $5,000! a real plus.


" ... GREAT PERSONAL STYLE IS MADE UP OF A CERTAIN PERCENTAGE OF "ALWAYS" ITEMS AND METHODS, MIXED WITH A CERTAIN PERCENTAGE OF "SOMETIMES" FASHIONS, AND A CERTAIN PERCENTAGE OF "NEVERS". "
