French Style

A great little read on French style and aesthetics
French women do not dress for men. “French women don’t dress to be sexy. Of course we do dress to seduce — that’s different from trying to ‘catch’ a man by wearing flamboyant clothes. The basic attitude is different. A French woman never feels she’s offering herself. There’s never a sense of surrender, but an attitude of ‘I belong to me’.”

I think thus is a great quote and a great attitude one should have told fashion in general. Rather than surrendering oneself to the current trend or in the interest of garnering someone's gaze, it's important to rock what looks good on you and most importantly what makes you feel good.

Style Inspiration

Gay icon, screen siren, devastator of men, Elizabeth Taylor passed away today. A true Hollywood legend who grew up on the screen, becoming a child star after making "National Velvet" and continuing to grow as an artist as she got older. A classic bombshell, Elizabeth Taylor was quite the style icon.



I think I'll watch "A Place in the Sun" today in honor. The scene between her and Montgomery Clift were she pulls him close after he exclaims "If I could only tell you how much I love you. If I could only tell you all", and says "tell mamma, tell mamma all", is beyond sexy.
