DO YOU LOVE A GOOD MYSTERY?


Well  there is nothing I love more is to read a good mystery book. Years backs,,, as a kid
I would always read those Agatha Christie mysteries.  I had collected most of the books
she had written  and would always pack them along when on a trip. This was before
ebooks appeared.   Plus i am more a fan of a REAL book.

Well getting back to the subject of mysteries, Christies books always seemed to take place in some
exotic far away place filled with hot summer breezes, sunny beaches , travels by boats or trains.
And there was one detective that was key to solving the crime, Hercule Poiret.  From mystery books, to television series to movies, this detective has been there.  The time of Art deco and lavish styles.
Lately the new movie   remake , of Murder on the Orient Express opened and which of course I want to see. 


FASHION  THE OTHER POIRET 


But there  is another Poiret - Paul Poiret.  I  recently read about his  fashions designed in the early 1900s  and  20s.
The styles of long slinky dresses,  exotic looking kimonos and patterns and lavish finishes. 
Those styles are beautiful and elegant and even now would look oh so glam for any girl.
He was so popular and famous in Paris at the time.  Not only did he design clothes, but also
home decor and interior design which he was influenced by the Austrian  Wiener Werkstatt. 
Yes , Vienna was a great influence in more ways the one.not only in music.

  He was more famous then Chanel at the time.

CASUAL SUMMER LOOK//fashion , styling

 Doing Denim  I sometimes like to wear something that is just more relaxed and comfortable.  For some it might be a pair of shorts, but I like a dress. Whether long or short.  I just them more comfortable and airy on hot summer days.  Denim is one look I like . It’s a casual look that can be dressed up or down, just by changing the accessories you wear with it.  Heels or sandal. Simple jewelry, watch or bracelets.  There are so many ways to style a denim dress.  A great tote to carry the necessary items, sandals and sunglasses  I would add a nice colorful scarf for the hair or simply wear tied around the neck. 

Favorite Things 2023//fashion , items

 Favorite things  I really didn’t go overboard with any purchases in 2023.  Trying to keep to the sustainable fashion idea  of shopping my closet or using what I have .  Mind you there were somethings I thought about getting like a new pair of sunglasses, some shoes  sandals, new purse , but I still need new sunglasses. My old pair has some scratches on them sadly.  The two pieces I did get I absolutely love . Firstly a linen blend blazer in cream shade. It goes with so many things so can’t wait to spring to wear it again.  Also the new wrap dress I bought in spring.  The color I loved , the fit and style is nice to wear for dinners out, parties or weddings. A very versatile piece.   The other item was from a previous year but I had forgotten about it  was a nice surprise. I wore it over Christmas holidays. and got compliments on it . A knit top with sparkle accents.  It was so comfortable and warm . Absolutely loved it.  ...
