With Him In Mind: Dressing for a Date

On November 14, 2011 · 4 Comments · In Fall, Restaurants, Wear
Hello Darlings,

Every woman, at one time or another, feels like a giddy school girl while getting ready for that big date. As some were getting ready for their first date, or an anniversary, I was dolling up for a Saturday night date. With no special occasion or a reason, it was just for us. I happen to believe that such no-special-occasion dates are what takes a couple from one anniversary to the next.

It is the time that you spend on each other that gets you through "dailies" when things are not that hot.

Not only have I purchased a bright orange coat, but also an orange purse! My closet no longer looks as if it belongs in a black and white photo album, but rather reflects that of a circus dressing room. With sequins, glitter, feathers, fur, lace, greens, oranges, golds, reds and velvet—it has all become a parade of the anti-conservative.

Hello Darlings,

Yesterday was the opening of Grace Kelly: From Movie Star to Princess Exhibit at TIFF Bell Lightbox. This much anticipated exhibit—which runs through January 22, 2012— was launched by Grace Kelly's son, Prince Albert II of Monaco, and his wife, Princess Charlene in Toronto on November 3rd. Despite being one of the most photographed women of her time, Grace Kelly always was a mystery.This beautifully choreographed exhibit provides an intimate look into the life of Grace Kelly.

With the rarely-displayed items and artifacts ranging from Grace Kelly's days as a leading lady in Hollywood, to a princess of one of Europe's oldest royal families; the exhibition features many of her original dresses, an exact replica of her iconic wedding gown, her signature "Kelly bag", and tiara.
