Prettier version of Cruella de Vil

Daphne Diana Joan Susanna Guinness (born 9 November 1967)  has worked in a variety of roles: artist, actress, muse of many photographers, model, collector and designer. She is an heir by direct descent of Arthur Guinness, the 18th-century inventor of the beer that still bears his name.

Rene-Jules Lalique

Today I visited the Museu Calouste Gulbenkian in Lisbon and found the room dedicated to Rene-Jules Lalique. Designer who on a side with Gustav Klimt was inspiration for Tory Burch'es free-spirited and romantic Fall 2013 Ready-to-Wear collection. Absolutely stunning.






Here is some of Rene-Jules Lalique's work

What about your grandma?

Iris Apfel (92) is an American businesswoman, interior and jewelry designer and fashion icon. She was 83, and 13 years into her retirement, when she became a celebrity. Apfel has described herself as "the world's oldest living teenager". Like a true New Yorker, Apfel does a great one-liner. One of her best is: "When you don't dress like everybody else, you don't have to think like everybody else."
