Style Me

I am obsessed with fashion and personal style. Have been sine I was a child. At the age of 6, I grabbed a gold lame dress with big shoulder pads - it was the 80's this was acceptable - and told my mother, "Look at this, isn't it beautiful!" She thought, Oh GOD! She will be a fashion designer. My mom was completely happy to support this dream, though. She read Vogue Magazines to me when I was in the womb. This was of her making!

Fast forward 20 years - oh God, I have to stop doing that...20 years! YIKES! - and here I am, in the fashion industry. Mother's do always know best! My personal style is a mixture of hippie chic with a touch of glam, a dab of rock and roll and some classic basics. I love experimenting with fashion and trying new looks. My friends laugh when I walk in wearing something new. I was labeled a Chinese Hooker when I wore an Asian inspired floral satin blouse, Meggins Leggins when I was the first one to show up with leggings and a denim skirt, Crazy Bag Lady when I wore a poncho and over sized sunglasses...granted, some looks have not been my best, but hell, I was having fun!!! And that's what fashion is to me!

My new fetish is flapper / 1920's siren. The hippie headbands have been cleaned out, and I am longing to experiment with a flapper dress and some serious head gear.

In comes Maison Michel. This site is exactly what I have been look for!!!! And, le sigh, its based in Paris. I am definitely adding that to my Paris day trip because getting it London would just take away from the experience!! Oh, the life of a European Jet Setter - sort of.

The one on the left is my fave! Oh and its Milla Jovovich, and ahem..photo by Karl Lagerfeld!
