SPARKLES IN HER EYES

Thank you Shana over at SMP Style Circle, you've inspired us all once more with one of your gorgeous medleys.  These mauvey and pink shades mixed with beige remind me of  the exquisite detail of Sophia Copola doing Marie Antoinette.  You can see more of Shana's work on her fun blog, Bubbles and Baubles.

IS GRAY THE NEW BLACK?

Ringing in the new year here!  Thank you so much to Tuyet Nguyen over at SMP Style Circle for this beautiful inspiration.  Gorgeous isn't it?  Contrary to popular belief, gray actually does look great on everyone, even blondes and redheads; the trick is finding your particular shade.  I grew up in a gray home, my father loved gray and painted inside and out this elegant neutral that to me is as calming as blue.
