Funny Fanny!

Right now I am on a kick to watch all the classic movies that I should have seen by this time in my life, but haven't yet. And Funny Girl starring the one and only Barbara Streisand was the fist one on my list! I think we all can relate to Fanny Brice in Funny Girl. If you have seen this movie then I know you know what I mean.(and if you have not seen it then I highly suggest you do so that you understand.) Why do we feel like we are not "beautiful?" I put the word "beautiful" in quotes because we all have a different opinion about what is "beautiful". To me Fanny is the ultimate beauty. She is real in the sense that she lets all of her vulnerabilities hang out. She has a dream that she fully achieves because it's all she wants! Fanny is not a conventional beauty. She is different and knows it and uses that feature to make it big in show business!  Yet she never looses herself in the fame. She stays true to herself, which is very honorable and that makes you love her that much more! But just when she thinks she has it all, (while keeping her head on straight the whole time;) she realizes that nothing matters if you loose the man that you love. Why does love have to have such a strong hold on us? And why can't every aspect of our lives be perfect? It seems like when something starts to go right, then something else goes wrong. I think that is "Someone's" way of keeping us on our toes. It's all part of what life is. All we can do is embrace it.
What a fabulous movie!
What a fabulous voice!

OKAY, now back to the fashion.......

The Harper's Bazaar stylists did a great job trying to make Jennifer Aniston (on the right, in case you couldn't tell) look like Barbara Streisand (on the left), however Jen's nose is just waaaaaay to perfect and button like to even compare to Barbara's unique and distinguished schnoz. Isn't this hair cut the most adorable thing you have ever seen! Makes me want to chop mine right off!

Okay, I am digging out my newsboy cap as we speak!!! LOVE this look. Absolutely gorgeous! My next day off I am going to sport the newsboy cap all day and create some soft waves in my hair. It might not be quite warm enough for the tank top though. Maybe a simple long sleeve black tee. Yeah.....that's it!
I'm sorry Barbara. No matter what you do you will never blend in!!! You are a rare one. And we adore you for it!!

Fashion Is For Models. STYLE Is For Real Women.

The fashion world has always favored skinny models to show off the latest trends. But it's the real women who actually buy them. Why does this make sense? Well I guess when it comes right down to the brutal truth, people buy things that look good. And lets face it, clothes look better when they are smaller. It's kind of like when I go into a store to try on shoes and the one on display that I am attracted to is a size 6 or 7 and then the sales clerk brings out my size (9 or 9/2) and I'm like "That's not the same shoe, is it? The one on display looks different!" The clerk tells me that it is in fact the same shoe. Suddenly, I don't want to try it on anymore. So, I just want to tell all you ladies out there who are not a size 4 in a dress that I get it. But we can't let it bother us.  Fashion is everywhere and marketing is everywhere and the majority of it is big beautiful pictures of skinny people. Keep in mind, models in magazines have the b...

FALL for Flowers!

{Leifsdottir Alegrias tiered floral skirt} Totally unpredictable and completely cool. Flowers for fall are exactly what you need to take your "I miss summertime" blues away. There are no rules in fashion. It's just about achieving a look that is your best and that you feel good in. Who says plaid is the only print you can wear in the fall? Now, don't get me wrong. Plaid is one of my favorite patterns. So maybe we can mix them together! {See below} Flower patterns are fun and so glamorous during any season. Just make your floral skirts a little more fall like by wearing a pair of colorful tights! Can you say FLOWER POWER?! And we are going to need some major FLOWER POWER especially when the temperature begins to drastically drop. {Christopher Kane ~ garden leather mini skirt} {Carolina Herrera}

The Necessary Black T-Shirt

I have to admit, I have not been getting dressed up much these days. I think it has something to do with just wanted to be comfortable. I have been sewing a ton of masks at The Maine Square   and it just feels better to not be confined in my clothing as I am cutting fabric and sewing. However, I do have to go out of the studio occasionally. Mostly it's to the mailbox, but sometimes it's to get more supplies and of course food. I don't mean to sound pretentious or anything, but I do think about how I look even when going out to do these quick errands. It makes me feel good to look half decent! Lately I have been opting for a simple black tee shirt and a pair of semi faded jeans. All I need to do it pop on a camel colored blazer and some ballet flats and I am good to go! Oh yeah, and I ALWAYS wear a mask when entering a public facility these days. I think it's just common courtesy with all that is going on with the corona virus.  Here are some of my all-time favori...
