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.

SPRING LOOK //Fashion , Style, Spring

Time for some color Finally the weather is warmer and can wear lighter clothes. I especially like to start the summer/spring with some color . One of my favorites is a colorful knit on I bought years ago , a Liz Clairborn design. It’s a piece that just say spring is here. After a long , cold winter of wearing mostly dark or muted shades it’s nice to bring out something bright a cheery.
