Don't believe everything you see is real!

This memory goes way back when I was getting my Spa Pedi & Mani at my favorite Nail Salon in TX; that I came across seeing Jessica Simpson sporting a Faux Louis Vuitton Dog Bag in People Magazine and couldn't believe my eyes that even celebrities will sport something like that as we all like to think, (at least they want us to think,) that they can afford such luxuries, right? Right, for those that haven't taken the time to study the matter and wrong, for those that have studied such matter and can tell the difference! I saw this pix of JS way back before she launched her shoes and accessories deal therefore it looks like she faked it 'til she made it. A girl's got to do, what she's got to do - to look successful! Just a tip though; please don't sport any such faux especially when you're at a charitable event where everyone breaks out the real deal or anywhere close to the shopping stores that sells the genuine ones, otherwise they may just take it away from you and report you as an accomplice to supporting illegal counterfeits! It does happen. Well, enjoy the pix and know that you know, that even celebrities wear faux goods...because the truth is just because they're celebrities, doesn't mean that they're all rich and can afford it! Ahem, enough said.

Seeking Mr. Darcy ♥

Joyful to hear Milan featured "Cashmere coats with edgy leather jackets" recently at their Autumn/Winter 2011-2012 collection. Stating that men are in need to "rediscover their identity", why? Because they all look alike? Yes, it's true and I'm glad to know I'm not the only one who thought this. I always “buckled" against what the general public wore so it’s good news that seeking a Mr. Darcy's style of fashion is coming back. I've always adored vintage glamour and  I am a Jane Austen fan. Besides the fact I'm in love with his character in "Pride and Prejudice", one who enjoys watching The Tudors, same similarities of style is heavenly, at least for me that is. Seeing a man in a long coat, with his pressed shirt, and boots gives others the image that this man is well dressed, educated, well connected, and affluent. Honestly, who doesn't want a man like that??? I understand the mentality to NOT outdo your boss's way of dressing (started in the high tech world, emulated in the 90's). Steve Job can afford to dress down, he's already proven himself that he's intelligent it helped paved the way to his wealth. However, the general men are still working their way to get there. Sad to say, the men missed the target. Because this trend trickled all the way down from executives to lower wage laborers. Which lead to mainstream that followed to the poverty look. Do consider the circumstances with the economy and high unemployment rate now. Ask yourself; "What can you do to stand out and not "blend in"? The answer is easy, stand out by wearing something traditional/classic, and go out of your way to NOT look like everyone else. It doesn't have to be expensive, just look expensive. (Glad I'm ahead of the trend, I bought a long jacket for my husband last year.)

Ben Stiller talks 'Zoolander 2' - PopWrap

Zoolander is one of my fashion "comedy" movie of all time. So glad to hear that Ben Stiller's making Part 2,
I can't wait! Do you remember Part 1 with Owen Wilson? That was hilarious!! Perhaps I shall make an excuse to throw a party before herding the girls for a GNO nite at the movies!! I suggest you do the same.

À partir de frais

"À partir de frais" = "Starting Fresh". Pardon my jump to start anew on this site (again) as I got bored with posting from previous notes. and lost all motivation on my fashion blog as I felt I was duplicating my events, as I'm already posting on other sites such as Facebook and Twitter. I pray you grant me another chance to entertain you and share with you my new ventures here. This page will be dedicated to my business ventures in Fashion and Jewelry. I promise to keep you wanting more. ;-)
