Jardin creole (Creole garden)

Hermes Silk

These are named, beautiful but of no earthly use to me here in the heat of Yucatan. That same heat is destroying them. Caraibes (Caribbean)

Copeaux (Shavings)

Serenenite (Serenity)



Les clefs (The keys)

Hermes Cotton

No names but wonderful cotton, wonderful designs and wonderful colors...for the right person.

Clinique lip product

Fabulous product. Believe it or not, mine is 05 Mango-thon. I know. I would never have even tried this one. I would have gone for 01 Fig or 15 Absolute and nothing in between. Is there a lesson to be learned here? Again, thank Barb. I do.

DIY Color Analysis: The Losers

Conclusions: Pastels are out, out, out. I couldn't bring myself to post the yellow and lightest blue items. (Ilona told me this several years ago, but did I listen?) Browns of all shades are out. But I can wear colors...strong, deep, glorious colors. Now the question is, will I?

DIY Color Analysis: More Winners

DIY Color Analysis: The Winners

Unlike my loyal readers, I had time on my hands this weekend. What do I usually do with time on my hands? Cleaning is always at the top of the list. This time, however, I combined cleaning my closets with a little do-it-yourself color analysis. Yes, I actually have more than just black and white in my closets.

My unscientific method consisted of wrapping a garment about my neck and snapping a photo. Here is the first posting of winners that are in the black/gray/blue spectrum. The next posting will show several colors (gasp!) that are also winners and then another post of losers. Comments welcome. Reminder: We are looking at color here, not lines, bags, sags, wrinkles. No comments on those, please.
