Woman of Style: Emily Blunt

April 4, 2018 No Comments

English film and stage actress Emily Blunt may best be known for her break-out role as the snarky co-assistant to Miranda Priestley in The Devil Wears Prada. She has made her mark on Hollywood by bringing a bit of her English sense of style to the Red Carpet. She embraces her sense of style, making her this month’s “Woman of Style.” I am obsessed with Emily Blunt, ever since her role in The Devil Wears Prada. She was great in that role! I have also enjoyed seeing her in more serious roles, like Tom Cruise’s alien-fighting comrade in Edge of Tomorrow […]

Fashion Trends to Try This Fall

September 5, 2017 No Comments

But with the official start of Fall less than three weeks away, now is the time to check out the trends that were all over the runway and see how you can incorporate them into your every day style this Fall. 1. 3-D Flowers, like the Ivanka Trump beaded 3D-floral dress.

I love to see the glitz and glam that some of these entertainers put on display. The 89th Academy Awards ceremony, presented by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, will honor the best films of 2016 and will take […]

Woman of Style: Alicia Vikander

August 31, 2016 2 Comments

“It’s almost a kick that I’m looking for. I like to push myself, find new sides of myself and see how different the characters are that I can create with my craft.” – Alicia Vikander, Oscar-winning actress and star of the new movie, The Light Between Oceans. When I saw Alicia Vikander take the stage in her yellow strapless high-low dress to accept her Oscar, I knew then that she had a beauty and a style that couldn’t be match by any other actress. This is why she is this month’s “Woman of Style.” Vikander won both the Academy Award and the […]

The Lovely Vanessa Redgrave

October 20, 2015 No Comments

“I don’t think I ever felt beautiful until I was pregnant and when I gave birth to my children. I had terrible acne when I was a teenager and I was very tall, so tall I couldn’t see myself in my mother’s long mirror.” – Vanessa Redgrave Photo Source: Vogue My mom once told me that she named me after Vanessa Redgrave, because that was her favorite actress around at the time I was born and that she just liked that name. Lucky me, in that the legendary and talented actress and I were both born in the month of […]
