My Peeps

Beautiful Crissy ~ The Doll with the Beautiful Hair

This is where it all began . . . Christmas 1969 (or 70?) . . . my fascination with hair! Although I don't remember specifically which Christmas I received Beautiful Chrissy, I do remember it was one of my favorite gifts ~ mine looked just like the one above. I was never too interested in dolls as a child, but the Crissy doll was an exception ~ just because of the hair. I remember being disappointed when I found out that there wasn't an endless source of hair coiled up in her stomach ~ I guess it just never occurred to me that her hair just didn't keep growing. I'm kind of surprised I didn't end up as a hair stylist ~ take a look at the commercial ~ what girl could resist?!! She's just Beeeuuutiful!!

The Argyle sweater is another classic item for your winter wardrobe. It is truly a winter wardrobe must have and an ideal christmas gift for him or her.

When it comes to classic fashion, the argyle sweater is right up there with your shift dress or legendary wrap dress which can be worn for years and years as it never goes out of fashion.

Hair Dooos (& Don'ts)

Too bad I didn't find these a few weeks ago as I had my appointment with my hairdresser last weekend! So much inspiration in so many ways ~ of course I love the style of the illustrations themselves ~ but then there is the added bonus of both verbal and visual humor! Those pesky French & English of the late 1700's! Hey, maybe the big hair of the 80's wil return........

{Perfect for the upcoming Halloween season}

{Does this style make my ass look big?}

{Miss Juniper Fox is either a really good animal trainer or her husband is pretty handy with a gun}

All images above - and many others have been posted at BibliOdyssey along with their original links and historical information about each illustration - definitely worth a visit!

Update your winter wardrobe

I have been writing this week about fashion personalities and how our style of dress is a reflection of who we are as a person.

For instance “Classic” is a fashion personality group that is defined by a timeless wardrobe. The classic personality is conservative and likes tailored high quality clothing. She goes for clean lines and traditional fabrics like tweed, silk, wool blends, cashmere etc.

The neutral palette is her friend and she loves navy. While seasons come and seasons go, her wardrobe will stand the test of time as her smart investment wardrobe choices never go out of fashion.

This classic British Tweed Coat is just the kind of coat the classic personality would add to her winter wardrobe. Though she may opt to wear the Ruched Waist Shift Dress and Cable and Bobble Scarf in a more conservative colour.



This Cashmere Tunic made with a luxuriously large amount of cashmere will fit right in with the classic personality's winter wardrobe. Accessorize with this Danielle wool & woven cotton bag in georgeous turqoise and chocolate brown. This classic winter bag is another great winter wardrobe must have for your wardrobe.
This Swishy Applique Skirt will go well with yellow or pink woolly jumper and smart yellow boots.
