Winning Finn
When I was googling images of Carey Mulligan at this year’s Cannes, I learned that she’s been styled by New York-based Tiina Laakkonen. A search of Tiina produced this photo of her and I thought, “Of course she’s to credit for Carey’s recent red carpet mood – this woman lives and paints in black!” More [...]

Smokin’ It
In describing this smokey look, Lori Taylor, Smashbox Pro Lead Artist said, “This is for my edgy girls. This is for my girls who love to follow fashion.” Bullseye! If you’re diggin’, watch the how-to video to get the bad-lass winged-out lid and crushed-gold drop shadow. Had I the time, this would be my daily [...]

Poser
I pose for pictures when my impatient photographer (novice hubby Russ) is in the mood, which is hardly ever, and even then, I can’t usually use his work. You see, if the stars don’t align when the camera goes click, I lose all definition in my face (my only gripe about being light-skinned) and I [...]

Carey’s Little Black Lookbook
I was riveted when I saw a photo of Carey Mulligan (see photo at top) on the red carpet at the Cannes Film Festival. She looks super sleek and sophisticated and very, very Black Hatter.

HAIRSTYLE…Her top knot is sleek and playful…business in front with a party on the top, if you will. SHADES…Large and in charge [...]

Dark Daisy
In F. Scott Fitzgerald’s novel, The Great Gatsby, Daisy Buchanan is symbolically painted white – through her clothing, the color of her automobile, and in her surroundings. At first, she seems the essence of purity and innocence. But, as the story develops, Fitzgerald reveals her true, dark nature. Carey Mulligan, pictured in this film still, [...]

Lightening McQueen
Who misses high school? I do! Life was so easy then…my fashion life, that is. There was no such thing as impractical clothing. For one, L’Anse Creuse North either didn’t have a dress code, it was a liberal one, or it wasn’t enforced – either which way, I had the free reign to wear whatever [...]
