Examining Everything Fashion and the Occasional Steal


Adding My Personal Touch

Here are a few items that I loved.  Yet somehow, I knew I could take it a little further ... add a little more flavor, give them that extra oomph. So, I decided to add my personal touch:

The patches add an extra funky touch to this Galliano Skirt
I added Paris patches to my French print clutch
I thought the lace adds an exotic spiciness to these basic cuff bracelets
I bought silk rosettes, combined them and added a brass chain.

Red Carpets, Bright Lights & Karloff Diamond Jewelry

There is no grass growing underfoot at Karloff Paris. Here are a couple of their latest glam happenings:

New York: USA Network Upfront 2012 "Red" Carpet Event

The stars were out in force at the premiere of the upcoming seasons for the network's hit series White Collar, PSYCH, Suits, Necessary Roughness, Fairly Legal, Royal Pains, and Covert Affairs.

Director/Producer/Actress Sarah Shahi walked the carpet and representing Fairly Legal (Kate). She also starred in the HBO hit series “The Sopranos” and the “L-Word”.

Sarah was stunning in the Korloff Les Classique earrings and tennis bracelet she wore to the event. That fitted sheath dress is no potato sack either.




Taiwan: Boutique Store Opening with Chris North

Fashion & Film en Cannes

The 65th Cannes Film Festival starts Wednesday. The glam 12-day international celebration of the stars and film will feature 91 films from more than 30 different countries.

"Ever since its creation, the Festival de Cannes has remained faithful to its founding purpose: to draw attention to and raise the profile of films with the aim of contributing towards the development of cinema, boosting the film industry worldwide and celebrating cinema at an international level."

I look forward to also seeing the amazing red carpet looks, parties and familiar landmarks. Cannes is a very beautiful Mediterranean city with quaint shops, a stunning countryside (including some flower-covered hills that are farmed specifically for perfume) and wonderful luxe treats; i.e. French pastries, the Ritz, breathtaking water views, yachts...
