5 Chic Pieces for Fall!

  • Carry a luxurious croc-embossed bag.  It's ultra glamorous and classic.
  • Enjoy the versatility of a black dress.  Pair it with fabulous heels for an elegant and classic look or wear ankle boots for an edgy look.
  • Go for a white tuxedo jacket.  The look is Parisian chic when you add a pair of tailored pants, a blouse, and heels.
  • Try a trench coat in a vibrant color like fiery red.  The trench has become a wardrobe essential for women.  This staple is a wonderful way to lokk put-together, mysteriousm, and uber chic a la Parisian.
  • Slip on a pair of black pumps with a heel that is comfortable for you.  They work for the office or going out after work.

A Makeup Free Face? Do or Don't?

While I was working as a teacher, I made certain to apply makeup everyday. However, I started getting lazy when I retired. I quickly noticed the difference between a made up face and going au natural. During the day, oil starts to build up on your face bringing attention to discolorations, wrinkles, pimples, you name it. Even a small amount of makeup can hide these imperfections. Your skin is an organ. Therefore, it needs to be nourished and protected.  For a fresh and put together look, set aside five minutes to apply Carmindy's Five Minute Face.  Enjoy the video and please share your thoughts.

I just finished reading, Parisian Chic: A Style Guide by Ines de la Fressange. Ms. de la Fressange shares the secrets of Parisian chic. She explains why the Parisian woman is so intriguing, how to build a wardrobe around seven key pieces, and adding fabulous accessories. This informative book provides readers with her favorite boutiques, restaurants, websites, beauty, and decorating finds. There are over 300 colorful illustrations by de la Fressange. I hope you enjoy this book as much as I did.  Please share your thoughts.

One item of clothing a woman shouldn't live without is a LBD. This item is so versatile. You can dress it up by adding a pair of gorgeous heels, a pair of diamond studs or chandelier earrings, and wearing your hair in a low chignon or you can dress it down by adding a denim jacket and a pair of ankle boots for an edgier look. How would you wear your LBD?
