and Coco Chanel said...






A girl should be two things: classy and fabulous.
A woman has the age she deserves.
A women who doesn't wear perfume has no future.
As long as you know men are like children, you know everything!
Don't spend time beating on a wall, hoping to transform it into a door.
Elegance does not consist in putting on a new dress.
Elegance is not the prerogative of those who have just escaped from adolescence, but of those who have already taken possession of their future.
Elegance is refusal.
Fashion fades, only style remains the same.
Fashion is architecture: it is a matter of proportions.
Fashion is made to become unfashionable.
Fashion is not something that exists in dresses only. Fashion is in the sky, in the street, fashion has to do with ideas, the way we live, what is happening.
Great loves too must be endured.
Guilt is perhaps the most painful companion of death.
How many cares one loses when one decides not to be something but to be someone.
I don't know why women want any of the things men have when one the things that women have is men. I invented my life by taking for granted that everything I did not like would have an opposite, which I would like.
I never wanted to weigh more heavily on a man than a bird.
In order to be irreplaceable one must always be different.
Jump out the window if you are the object of passion. Flee it if you feel it. Passion goes, boredom remains. Look for the woman in the dress. If there is no woman, there is no dress.
Luxury must be comfortable, otherwise it is not luxury.
My friends, there are no friends.
Nature gives you the face you have at twenty; it is up to you to merit the face you have at fifty.
Since everything is in our heads, we had better not lose them.
Some people think luxury is the opposite of poverty. It is not. It is the opposite of vulgarity.
Success is often achieved by those who don't know that failure is inevitable. The most courageous act is still to think for yourself. Aloud.
There are people who have money and people who are rich.
There have been several Duchesses of Westminster but there is only one Chanel! There is no time for cut-and-dried monotony.
There is time for work. And time for love. That leaves no other time!
Those who create are rare; those who cannot are numerous. Therefore, the latter are stronger.

How to Prevent Dry Chapped Lips



The best way to prevent chapped lips is to avoid conditions that cause them. Unfortunately, those conditions are everywhere: cold weather and exposure to sun, dry air, and wind all make lips dry, cracked, or sore, as well as dehydration, nasal allergies, and breathing through your mouth. Certain medications, such as acne drugs, can cause chapped lips too. Simple care at home can avoid this condition. Following tips can help you take care of your lips, chapped and otherwise:


No Licking!
Don't lick your lips, it will cause more chapping. Licking lips doesn't moisturize them.


Drink Plenty of Water
Dehydration can cause dryness of lips. Increase your water intake during winter to keep your lips looking fresh. You can also humidify the rooms to deal with winter dryness.


Invest in a Good Lip Balm
I  love La Mer The Lip Balm but I hate the damn price tag as well! Your choice. 


Take Care in Selecting Cosmetics
Creamy lipsticks can act like balms and prevent your lips from chapping. Avoid using lipsticks that can dry out your lips.

Olive oil it up
Rub on anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and moisturizing olive oil two or three times a day to soothe, soften, and lubricate. Your lips will feel immediately better, but it will take a few days before they start to heal on their own.

Scrub away dead skin

Exfoliating is a good first step against chapped lips, after you brush your teeth, get rid of unsightly dry skin by brushing your lips with your toothbrush. Protect your new, soft lips by moisturizing immediately afterward with a good lip balm.


Good Luck!!

Carrie Bradshaw´s Apartment



For six years we followed every detail of Carrie Bradshaw's life - the ups, the downs, the boyfriends, the jobs, and, of course, the wardrobe. But there was always one thing that stayed the same - her Upper East Side apartment.

Por 6 años seguimos cada detalle de la vida de Carrie Bradshaw, lo bueno, lo malo, los novios, los trabajos y claro, los outfits. Pero siempre hubo algo que permaneció pese a los cambios, su departamento. Nuestra fuente de inspiración.

Little Black Dress







A  Little Black Dress.   An LBD.  A Little Black Number.  They say no young lady's wardrobe is complete without one. Right?  This is the look I wore for my friend Yaz´s birthday party on Saturday night: total black with silver details.

Un Vestidito Negro. Un LBD. Dicen que un clóset no está completo sino cuenta con uno. ¿Cierto? Este es el look que use para la fiesta de cumpleaños de mi amiga Yaz, el sábado pasado: Negro total, con detalles en plata. Simple y cómodo.
