POSTCARDS - FASHION IS MOVEMENT

I HAVETTA HAVE TAFFETA

There are a few fashion items that put the toot in my horn:

1) Bikinis
2) Mini-skirts with long legs
3) Thigh high flat boots
4) Shrunken cardigans and pencil skirts
5) Wide leg trousers
6) Double face fabrics (suits and coats)
7) Matte jersey dresses
8) Ballgowns and Ball-skirts
9) Sundresses (especially with big, straw hats and a summer tote)
10) High heels

One of my all time favorite things is a taffeta anything - a taffeta skirt...a taffeta dress...a taffeta blouse...a taffeta opera coat...you get the picture.

There is nothing so glamorous as a woman who makes an entrance with the rustle of a huge taffeta skirt or gown. It's as if she comes with her own wind machine, sound effects and applause. I just love it!!!

IT'S ALL IN THE CARDS - SHAPE & FORM

Shape and form can take many incarnations - from the stark shape of a beautifully illustrated coat to the delicate form of an ultra feminine ruffled sleeve to the natural beauty of a perfect human body.

Postcards from around the world.
