I don’t know about you guys but I love playing with colour, layering, mixing and matching. A new brand I mentioned awhile ago is by MAKE. The colours are bold, look-at-me colours that can be applied subtly or with dramatic flair.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY: Napoleon, Ben Affleck, Jennifer Lawrence & Me
What do I have in common with Napoleon, Ben Affleck & Jennifer Lawrence? We share the same birthday. I also took drama classes and writing classes, alas I didn’t pursue either of them as actively as I could have. Not that I would be famous if I had, of course.

Red Lipstick *is the power tie of the boardroom – of the world
I love that she’s not afraid of wearing red lipstick, most women are for some reason. It’s our power tie of the boardroom – of the world.

Going Back-to-Basics With 3LAB
Investing in a quality cleanser and exfoliating scrub is important to healthy skin. It’s also okay to have several, after all no two cleansers or scrubs are created equal.

How To Marry A Millionaire
How To Marry A Millionaire is my favorite Lauren Bacall movie. Believe it or not, it’s a movie I put into the DVD player or VHS every few years.

Hair Obsessed
I am obsessed with my hair, I admit it. If I’m running late it’s because my hair isn’t behaving properly. This weekend I had a daytime wedding to attend, and styling my hair became a mini occupation, why? Because it was going to be outdoors and I was in need of a trim. These areContinue reading “Hair Obsessed”

City Girl in Red Lipstick – France, Bettina Graziani, Model
Today’s post was going to be about skincare, going back to basics to be exact but I changed my mind. I finally was able to surf the net a little and came across an article on Bettina Graziani for Paris Vogue. I love discovering fashion icons of the 1950’s. Who was she?
