Fashion Friday
In honour of my SAFW trip here are a few of my favourite fashion quotes:
Fashions fade, style is eternal.
-Yves Saint Laurent
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.
-Coco Chanel
Zest is the secret of all beauty. There is no beauty that is attractive without zest.
-Christian Dior
Elegance is a question of personality, more than one's clothing.
-Jean-Paul Gaultier
Only great minds can afford a simple style.
-Stendal
A woman's dress should be like a barbedwire fence: serving its purpose without obstructing the view.
-Sophia Loren
fashion is merely a form of ugliness so unbearable that we are compelled to alter it every six months.
-Oscar Wilde
Art produces ugly things which frequently become beautiful with time. Fashion, on the other hand, produces beautiful things which always become ugly with time.
-Jean Cocteau
Above all, remember that the most important thing you can take anywhere is not a Gucci bag or French-cut jeans; it's an open mind.
-Gail Rubin Bereny
You just can’t buy style
Yesterday while waiting for my flight I noticed two stunning women standing close together, the one was in a heavily embellished Louis Vuitton cap,belt and shoes,an Ed hardy top, with a Polo bag and Polo jacket while the other was in tailored jeans and shirt. What struck me is that although the second lady was far less branded she just looked better, her hair looked great so did her nails and there was something in how she carried herself. The other just didn't quite pull off the look and for all her expensive clothes,she just looked cheap (no! this is not jealousy talking even if I'd love a LV belt) just think that was a great illustration of the saying "true style comes from inside" like one of my style icons, Coco Chanel said, "elegance is not just putting on a new dress"… Here is some more things she said:
– A girl should be two things: classy and fabulous.
– 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 is not the prerogative of those who have just escaped from adolescence, but of those who have already taken possession of their future.
– Fashion fades, only style remains the same.
– 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 tot do with ideas, the way we live, what is happening.
– Gentleness doesn't get work done unless you happen to be a hen laying eggs.
– How many cares one loses when one decides not to be something but to be someone.
HAVE A GREAT WEEK ALL!
The end of an era
In honour of the late great Elizabeth Taylor, here is a list of her most memorable quotes (well quotes I liked anyway)
-
Big girls need big diamonds.
- I adore wearing gems, but not because they are mine. You can’t possess radiance, you can only admire it.
- I don’t think President Bush is doing anything at all about Aids. In fact, I’m not sure he even knows how to spell Aids.
- It’s not the having, it’s the getting.
- So much to do, so little done, such things to be.
- I think I’m finally growing up – and about time.
- When people say, ‘She’s got everything’, I’ve got one answer – I haven’t had tomorrow.
- I suppose when they reach a certain age some men are afraid to grow up. It seems the older the men get, the younger their new wives get.
- I’ve only slept with men I’ve been married to. How many women can make that claim?
- Some of my best leading men have been dogs and horses.
and my fav:
- I have a woman’s body and a child’s emotions.
Words of Wisdom

| My sis and I with my mom oldish pic and I swear she’s looking even younger these days |
This morning I was reminded of something my mom once said :
“You need to let go of the life you have planned for yourself before you can accept the life God has planned for you.” She told me this after a tough break-up years ago and said that often God is trying to give you something or show you something, but you are so busy planning and scheming, you tend to get in the way of your own happiness – Good to remember
Just a thought
In life be sure to never confuse:
Love with lust
Confidence with arrogance
Joy with happiness
Success with money
Fear with inability
Respect with intimidation
But one piece of chocolate can easily be confused with like five, no problem
