MY DAILY DOSE OF NEWS AND WINDOW SHOPPING!
thank you so much elizabeth for asking me to take part in your style series. i’m so flattered and honored to be among the beautiful women who have come before me.
1.HOW WOULD YOU DESCRIBE YOUR STYLE? unfussy. i cannot bear to fuss with my clothes or accessories during the day. i lead a very ordinary life and my clothes reflect that.
2.What INSPIRES YOUR SIGNATURE STYLE? that’s such a great question and hard to answer. what style i have has just always been my style. i’ve veered here and there over the decades but my basics work perfectly for me.
3. WHAT ACCESSORY CAN YOU NOT DO WITHOUT? sunglasses. i have 4 pair that are always on rotation.
4. FAVORITE COLOR? i have 4, white, black, blue and camel.
5. DO YOU HAVE A SIGNATURE PIECE? i’d say old jeans and a little black dress is always chic.
6. WHAT ARE YOUR STYLE STRENGTHS? i think my style strength would be that i know my limits.my look is pared down, 2nd hand and yet i hope it has an effortless look to it.
7. DO YOU HAVE A STYLE ICON? i have always loved jane birkin. she is the perfect mix of nonchalance and elegance.
8. BEAUTY ESSENTIALS?
My daily beauty routine first starts with my diet. i believe that lots of fresh fruit, veggies and water is the way to beauty. at night i use my clairsonic…
I’m an esthetician so you would think I use a ton of products but my daily routine centers around 4. at night i use my clairsonic bc it’s like getting a facial every day. in the morning i mist my face with water and use a little moisturizer or sunblock then apply my foundation if i’m wearing it that day, a little blush mascara and always red lipstick. the product line i use is Osmosis. it’s amazing!
9. DO YOU HAVE REPEAT OFFENDERS IN YOUR CLOSET? my wardrobe is quite small but I definitely have repeats…menswear, little black dresses and vintage coats.
10.DO YOU HAVE ANY STYLE RULES THAT YOU LIVE BY? for me things have to be simple. i lead a pretty uncomplicated life and my wardrobe reflects that.
11.WHAT ARE YOUR FAVORITE ONLINE GO TO SOURCES? the main source of my shopping is the goodwill or any 2nd hand shop. i always start there but when i’m looking for inspiration or something new i’ll first look at emerson fry. she is so good at effortless style. everlane makes beautiful affordable basics and ebay is fabulous.
12.DO YOU HAVE A PARTICULAR DESIGNER YOU ARE DRAWN TO? ralph lauren has and will probably always be my man. he just always gets it right.
13.WHAT ADVISE DO YOU HAVE FOR WOMEN OVER 50,or over 40? when it comes to skincare i say start early and don’t forget about your neck. i’m not a big fan of plastic surgery but to each her own. as far as fashion goes, wear whatever makes you feel like smiling because that is really your best accessory!
thanks again elizabeth for inviting me into your lovely blog and style series!
