While fashion and architecture often inspire one another, Rachel began developing a passion for all things well designed in her studies, earning [...]

I Feel Like Purring in Cartier Panthere Parfum

    I recently found a bottle of this online- I suppose it is vintage as it is in a bottle style not available for quite awhile. I know this seller and he stocks an incredible array of vintage and hard to find scents. I remember when this oriental floral was launched, in 1986, because at the time I was obsessed with the Cartier Panthere watch. Which I wear pretty [...]

OPI Tickle My France-y is Beautifully Nude

OPI Tickle My France-y continues the neutrals theme. It is the perfect nude-pink manicure colour. When you want more than the ubiquitous sheer pink , that, while lovely and elegant, can be a bit of yawn after awhile. The main benefit to the sheer pink manicure besides looking clean and professional, is that it lasts and/or doesn’t show wear as quickly as deeper colours. This is proving to be less [...]

Lancome Miel Glacé is a Beautiful Blush

I’m feeling the neutrals this week….maybe it’s the lack of sunshine. I find something so soothing about nudes, taupes, soft pinks & peaches, and of course, beige. Coco Chanel said ”I take refuge in beige because it’s natural” and I can totally relate. The soft natural look is always flattering and it is true that as we age (sigh) when it comes to cosmetics, less is more. It’s true. I’m with [...]

It's Beautiful On The Dark Side of The Moon

Deborah Lippmann Dark Side Of The Moon is the perfect dark vampy purple burgundy. I adore it. This is a staple shade for any nail polish lover- everyone needs a dark vamp. DSOTM is so fabulously dark it becomes a neutral. It looks as fab with jeans as it does with a little black dress. I’ve been loving it as a pedi but wow, now I adore it as a [...]

Smooth Beautiful Hair by Living Proof

My daughter Brigit and I have been officially using Living Proof No-Frizz Shampoo and Conditioner exclusively for the past 3 weeks. Wow! Colour us impressed. I am still amazed at how when I comb out my wet hair I need no leave in conditioner spray or cream, and no smoothing serums. Seriously- this is a first. I had a few more highlights and lowlights done 2 weeks ago and that [...]
