THE DESIGNER VISITS!

April 5, 2018 82 Comments

Meet JENNAFER GRACE a GAL who is on THE RISE!

Me in MY PAGLAMAS made by JENNAFER GRACE.

This comfortable ensemble can GO OUT or STAY IN for NIGHT!

I even slept in mine!

Just ACCESSORIZE for evening attire or being THE HOSTESS that YOU ARE!

 

ARE YOU SMITTEN YET with THESE?

I AM!

THE PURPLE FLORAL COAT FUR TRIM DUSTER with POCKETS is HANDMADE in CALIFORNIA.

TO SHOP her LINE on ETSY GO HERE.

CLICK HERE TO SEE!

 

I am wearing JENNAFER’s COAST & KOI shoes!

Which she purchased in Cape Town, South Africa.

TO VISIT COAST & KOI Go to link below!

CLICK HERE TO SEE MORE SHOES!

JENNAFER recently got married and they HONEYMOONED in South Africa!

I think I was RESPONSIBLE for HER GOING to hunt down COAST & KOI.

SORRY, NEW HUSBAND LONG TIME BEAU I HAD TOO!!!!!!!!

You could say I’m a tad bit JEALOUS of your TRIP and Meeting The ENCHANTRESS behind these SHOES!

I am using my COAT as a ROBE!

IT works PERFECTLY in my GARDEN!

JENNAFER’s DESIGNS are SOLD in San Diego in the cutest little shop I have mentioned here before!

CHATEAU BEL AGE

which is currently working on a website for YOUR SHOPPING CONVENIENCE.

 

Meanwhile, if you are up in Northern California LA BELLE FIFI CALIFORNIA in Corte Madera & The LAZY K  HOUSE in LAFAYETTE have a few items to entice you! Also PURPOSE BOUTIQUE in Sacramento.AS JENNAFER filled her CAR and went DOOR to DOOR  to visit local MERCHANTS when she stayed with me!

THIS IS JUST THE BEGINNING For THIS LOVELY WOMAN who has VISION and WONDERFUL TASTE!

THE STARDUST DRESS…………or as I’m calling it THE CONTESSA GOWN are the BEST!

I NOW OWN TWO AND THINK ONE MORE IS IN MY FUTURE!

NO TELLING THE ITALIAN PLEASE!!!!!

I can COMMAND from MY PERCH!

My Winston can say “OH NOT AGAIN!!!!!”

Or better yet!

“Here she goes AGAIN!”

 

JUST LOOK AT THOSE SLEEVES!!!!!!!!

The DRESS comes with a slip as well…….

DO I WEAR THIS FOR EVERY DAY or KEEP when YOU ALL COME TO VISIT ME?

 

THE DRAPE is AMAZING!

 

COAST & KOI shoes on ME!!!!!

HANDMADE NO TWO ARE A LIKE!

FLATS ONLY!

THESE SHOES ARE SO ME!

Here I AM A HAPPY NONNA with my TEA CUP PIGGY………..MISTER BANKSY!

 

YOUR CONTESSA asks JENNAFER THE BIG QUESTION!

WHAT INSPIRED YOU TO MAKE CLOTHING?

 

“I don’t even know where it began!I’ve always innately needed to create and knew that fashion excited me.I wanted to live inside of MOVIES like AUNTIE MAME and LE CAGE AUX FAUX  – and still do!!!!

I started with jewelry first but once I started sewing class, it was over.I’ve been selling things in stores since I was 13!”

For those of YOU who donot know me my FAVORITE MOVIE growing up was AUNTIE MAME as well!!!!!

I also adored FUNNY GIRL with BARBRA STREISAND and HELLO DOLLY!

That could explain a FEW THINGS TODAY!!!!!!!

I actually had an AUNT who my MOTHER called AUNTIE MAME!

I have been called AUNTIE MAME!

This might explain WHY I am SO ATTRACTED TO JENNAFER and HER DESIGNS………….Not only does she make clothing but accessories TOO!

Like headbands, turbans, and sleep masks!

 

TALK ABOUT KNOCK OUT GORGEOUSNESS!!!!

BANKSY is enamored!

Here she is wearing her PAGLAMAS in CASA MIA!

Meanwhile,WE are waiting for SPRING and THE LEMON BALM TO GROW!!!!!

Sorry for the FOAM in my mouth!

Nonna had Cheerios in her HANDS!

FAVORITE PLANT THIS MONTH Is the BANKSIA ROSE!

    Excited to learn Chateau Bel Age is working on an online store! Jennifer is darling and I tried on her Paglamas at the Chateau. Did not purchase as had already had a full bag, and ladies judged me smaller than I am so needed to go up a size. Didn’t have time to try on larger size, so next time. Or, I may stop by my favorite LaZy K on next visit home and try them on again there.

    I finally get to participate in LA CONTESSA’S world of DRAMA. I live in Marin and I went to La Belle Fifi today to see Jennafer’s kimonos and the fantastic shoes. None of the fabric’s worked well on me, but I spent time on Etsy and picked out a kimono I loved. It combines two of my favorite things: teal and animal print. What a find! I got the last one, too. Now I can go to the ballet with DRAMA worthy of the dance and the costumes. You are the BEST! You give me such inspiration to live my small size with great PANACHE. You are the queen of panache. Unfortunately none of the shoes fit. But someday…

They are gorgeous! I float about in them like a butterfly…as you do! Gorgeous post and I am so thankful you sent me to Chateau Bel Age …it seems years ago…to find my beautiful kimonos among other treasures.

    VIA EMAIL:
    Hello Elizabeth,

    While I felt a little displaced among the female fashion discussion inherent in your last post, I was taken by the references to Auntie Mame. I think that you would make an ideal one, and in fact have been for your children and for the young people who have gotten to know you.
    I have both of the books here, but admit that the movie version transcends them. While filled with great performances and characterizations, perhaps my favorite scene is the one in which the little kid mixes the martini!
    In Cleveland we have a large photographic portrait of a flapper from the 1920’s. The lady we bought her from said that the lady was her Aunt Mamie (real name), and that she hated selling her but had to get rid of her stuff. I am sure that you would love Aunt Mamie too, and will try to take a photo the next time I am in Ohio.

    Take care,

    Jim

    I do like a floral print on a pyjama, and a fur cuff and a tasselled slipper does make the Right Impression. This is all very you!

    It looks like you had fun during J’s sleep-over. Those sleeves were just made for striking a pose. “Nice head and arms” as a ballet examiner once wrote about me, so I’m passing on the compliment.

    Oh, it seems I share (some of) Banksy’s refined taste – lemon balm tea is a bit of a fave. So soothing.

      Oh I guess a couple of sprig’s worth (maybe 8 or 10 leaves?) in the bottom of the cup. If I’m feeling lazy, I’ll let it steep for several minutes then sip around the floating foliage. If I’m feeling like a lady, I’ll filter them off. Delicious and lemony, and if you believe what herbalists say, will cure you of every ill!

      I’ll drink most anything, really, and have come to no misfortune. Another summer tea I like is basil flowers. When you pinch off the flower heads in the valiant attempt to stop the plants bolting, before sending them to the compost, throw them into a teapot first (too challenging to sip around a cupful of stalks).

    She is so talented! I love the fluid lines, so graceful and flattering. The colors!
    You’re a good model. It’s clear you were a dancer.
