The Art of Aging Gracefully
Nothing is impossible, the word itself says ‘I’m possible’!

Audrey Hepburn (1929-1993) needs no introduction or accolades, she is simply the epitome of style and substance. Rather than clinging to her youthful look, she embraced every stage of her life with wit, class and grace. You will find “Create the look” (and a video tutorial) at the end of this post!
The daring combination of Orange, Pink & Red
I used to be a strictly black and white girl, both in dress and décor, but over the years color has crept into my life, and I now embrace every color of the rainbow. The master of the exiting pink & orange color combination was Yves Saint Laurent, just look how that works in this beautiful YSL Rive Gauche creation from 1984 (see “create the look for less” below):

The Ultimate Literary, Art & Fashion Magazine.
Run to get the 17th issue today!
In 1977 Nicole Wisniak created a gigant sized art and literary magazine in Paris called “Egoïste”. It is literally a “one woman show”. So far only 17 issues have been published at irregular intervals, as Nicole orchestrates her magazine to the last detail. She has persuaded over the years a most eclectic and talented group of photographers, writers, artists and musicians to participate in each publication that is part fashion bible and part literary journal.

“Youth has no Age”
Pablo Picasso 1881-1973
Picasso is such a vast subject that is daunting to say anything at all…I am always foremost touched by his playfulness and humor, despite the forcefulness of everything he did. Picasso’s monumental legacy is hard to grasp, perhaps he was a “Monstre Sacré” in many ways, but I see that as an achievement…His long life spanned most of the 20th century and he recorded it in his art.
“A day without laughter is a wasted day”. This motto shows in so many photographs of Picasso in his daily life. Sitting at the breakfast table, seeing art and wit in everyday objects:

“I love those who yearn for the impossible”
