LACROIX-HAUTE COUTURE PARIS

Only Mr. Lacroix can  push the limits of dreamy, romantic, feminine excess and still create an absolutely CHIC look. His instincts are marvelously self assured. The signature lush, brilliant color palette and enchanting embellishments allows us to escape from the dreary functionality of wearing utilitarian grey and black!lol

JACKIE O! On the GO!

There'll never be a better example of American Style & Vitality than the energetic Mrs. Jackie Kennedy-Onassis.
More famous than any movie star.
More glamorous than any model.
Chicer than any fashion editor.
And ultimately, considering the tragedy she publicly endured and SURVIVED, her will to live her life on her terms is admirable.
Her pleasure in living an active lifestyle, engaging in sports, being outdoors in the sun, exploring, traveling, remaining curious and staying involved with her children, is forever inspiring.
Her love for fashion and  famously classic personal style allowed her the mobility & freedom to be on the GO! Her choices of SIMPLE, non-theatrical clothes in LUX fabrics will forever be fresh & modern.
Her clothes never wore her.
MESSAGE: To look your best, WALK, MOVE, stay ACTIVE,,,and smile!
PS: Girls, take note of all those fabulous FLATS designed for walking! Don't torture your feet by walking on crazy high stilettos, save them for non-walking activities!lol
