Celebrity Crush - Catherine Deneuve

Sketch of C.D. costumes for one of her 60s movies.

I have recently become enchanted by model, actress and notorious nip-flasher Catherine Deneuve. With her help and a little dash of 60s sweetness, I realized even I can rock 70s modern trends without looking like a disco reject. Why is it important to find an icon of similar measurements, as opposed to someone with a perfect body and panache? By finding a doppleganger, you can try out new fashion ideas without taking the risks personally, and get some great styling ideas. No risk of personal fashion disgrace, and all the rewards? Its a great concept. Seriously. Think about it.

Kentucky Derby hat inspiration.

I am a huge fan of scarves worn in this manner, despite having earned a reputation for myself as a "Decoy Mulsim". Scarves have more chic factor than a lot of today's casual hats, and there is no such thing as "scarf-hair". They are also practical - keeping the weather away from your 'do. Scarves are apropriate for places where hats are not (nightclubs, churches/mosques, work, etc.) Versatility = value! Should you ever tire of wearing them on your head, wear them around a neck/waist/wrist/hair/handbag.

I think Heidi Montag may have taken this actual picture to her plastic surgeon. Check out her face...

Unfortunately, this is a neckline for perky girls.
I don't think Heidi could fit into this one now. :(

Playful...

easy, casual
I love the super soft, wide corduroy in a shorter length for cool Spring mornings & evenings. Color blocking in light shades just screams for sunshine. Picture these looks with Zoe Saldana's Met Ball hair for this season... (Zoe Saldana hair by Mara Roszak, celebrity hairstylist for Kerastase Paris)

Tip: Have a relateable Icon. *Sweetness should always be tempered with a strong dose of sass.*

Aging well, the mark of a good Icon.
