The Long and the Short of it!

Remember the post on short hair and how to make it interesting. This shows my take. I want short hair for the summer so I can golf without a hat all the time but I don't just want short hair. Here's the house cut, hee hee.
 Lots of hair on top , cut close on the sides,  some hair below ear, to keep it girlie. That's the key!

What makes Kate Moss so cool?


Does Sarah Palin have good style?

No!
 Don't get me wrong. Sarah Palin is a very attractive woman and has the" bones" to be stylish but I don't think she really knows how.  Maybe she doesn't care. I somehow think she does.
 It is a bunch of little things that she does or doesn't do that have her falling short. Her suits are too stiff and too average for her looks. The colors are too primary when they should have nuance.
The blue isn't quite right for the style. Should be very dark if stiff and a softer shape if this electric blue. Don't like the 3/4 sleeves. Kinda old fashion. I don't like the stand up collars she wears all the time. Too stiff and harsh for her. Let's look at another
I don't like anything about this, the collar, the 3/4 sleeves, the big black buttons, the boxy style. It looks cheap!
 Again (above). I don't like anything about this outfit. I think it's too tight and the jacket is too short,the 3/4 sleeves again. I don't like the boots. I would rather have black opaque stockings. I don't like the low top under the jacket. If she wears boots she needs the weight of a higher neck under the jacket.
 It's a bunch of little things and it takes years to get these things down.

Let's compare this with Kate Middleton's style. Both are very conservative so it's good comparison I think, except that Kate has style .

 This suit is perfect! I love the color for the style. The length is very young and fresh but conservative. I love the small collar and the length of the jacket and the length of sleeves(longer is better). Shoes are perfect, not too dainty. They have weight but not too high fashion for the conservative look. She hits all the notes here.
 The red suit(below) is perfect as well. Compare with Sarah Palin's. I love the collar with the black sweater under instead of high stiff collar or the low tank in second Palin shot. I  love the length of jacket which is longer than Sarah Palin's. The buttons are smaller as well and the sleeve length is correct
I love the gloves to match the weight of the t-neck. She is wearing black opaque stockings which continues the weight of this perfect "cool day" outfit. Her hair isn't a distraction as it always is with Sarah Palin and the less is more makeup is much better.
I could go on and on as I will in next post. There is soooo much to talk about here.

Just had to Post

My Mum and I.   Love you too much Lilly!  My Heart.
I know I know, Sarah Palin. It's coming! Stay tuned

Silver Lame! Yeaaaahhh! Hee Hee!

This was a silver lame dress I made in the 80's and with it an Italian dressy sweater from "Antonella Ore". If you look at Black Eyed Peas and Lady Gaga, they are wearing  a lot of it. It is very cool! Kinda trashy, but remember, cool is a bit of trash here and there!

Dancing with the Stars Finale Tonight on ABC

My fave to win

Be careful with the Lip Liner

It is a wonderful tool for enhancing the lips and making them appear fuller but you musn't bring too much attention. It has to be done with care.  Nope (below) Too dark!



Better!  Only one shade darker than lipstick or natural lip color

Make Up

Less is more with regards to foundation. Like I said Pamela Anderson is gorgeous and she does the more thing on purpose. Even she goes a bit too far and looks too trashy sometimes

A little trash goes a long way!
The biggest culprit is foundation. Most of it is way too thick and unless you are on tv or in front of cameras, it is "masky" in real life. It is extremely aging and compounds the aging process. Less is more when it comes to foundation and one that is a tinted moisturizer and not just cover is best. I love @bobbybrown myself

I Love Kirstie Alley so much and I Love "Dancing with the Stars"

I predict she and Maksim win it all!! I am in love with Maksim anyway!

I know, get blogging! Coming up! Too much makeup. How to know.

I LOVE Pamela Anderson and she wears too much make and gets away with it. Good example though of what to watch for. She does it on purpose so it's O.K.

Rocky Mountain Featherbed and the history of my style

You would not believe what I did to get this line in 1978. It was then owned by a great guy named Cub Schaefer from Jackson Hole, Wyoming. One of his staff, visiting, was in my shop and was wearing one of the vests. I told him if he would help me get the line into the shop, I would give him the hiking boots that he wanted, free. He accepted and the rest was history. It was, along with North Face and Patagonia(Great Pacific Ironworks, in those days) one of my most popular tech lines. It also crossed over into the fashion side which was where I was headed with my buying. It was perfect! It was quintessential cowboy, no?
It is now owned by a  Japanese company. Wonder what Cub is up to these days?
