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!...

THIS and THAT//fashion , festival

 Season Changes Well it has finally cooled down which makes it bearable to be outside. Naturally the swimming pools , lakes and rivers have seen plenty o people .  Festivals , Films  and Fashion  The festival season is winding down,  but one that I anxiously wait for is the Venice Film festival. A movie and fashion lover can’t miss it!  The return of Clooney on screen in  Venice with his gorgeous wife is a highlight.  Her fabulous fuchsia gown with the train was stunning . She stole the show!  Of course there were other stars on the red carpet  but no outstanding dresses .  Movies some are getting mentioned . For myself I’m not  sure what I be tempted to watch.  Julia  Roberts new one about college professor sexual harassment is a serious topic . Not light entertainment.  One film with Helen mirren, pierce Brosnan  about senior mystery book club sounds like light entertainment. The actors are all over 60 , s...
