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.

Flying high // travel

B Time to Fly Sumer holidays are around the corner and deciding where to go or what to pack can e daunting experience. So what to pack ? Well after reading how some airlines charge passenger to check the baggage. First I believe the budget airlines started , but now the big name ones have also started to charge it! American Airlines , southwest , Air Canada . And the extra cost if is a jackpot for the airlines. I have not travel with the budget lines but have used some of the others mentioned and I won’t be booking any trips with them! Really what do they think? If the operate a service to transport you and your belongs that should be included , NOT an extra expense. Give you an idea of what they collect in these extra fees then read this report via BBC. Truthfully people need to tell these companies NO . Even a handbag is next to the list. They are making BILLIONS from from these extra fees!...

Keeping Warm - Fashion Style

POP of COLOR Yes it is something we all want need. Keeping warm in the cold winter months. One of favorite knit top has been my steady Look. The fact it has a large cowl neck collar that I pull up over my face when it’s windy outside. It is comfortable and feels cozy . The color is vibrant on those dull dreary days . A pop of color is nice to see during the winter season when mostly black seems to be the color of choice. The Accessories . I love to add a few accessories also. Bracelets add a little interest to the look . The three sterling silver bangles worn over sleeve looks good , as well as the multi twist bracelet. Ps The photo does not show the true color . It’s a very vibrant blue shade . Looks dull . After a few retakes no change. Camera issues.
