The Artifice

Sharing favorite snippets of the life I'm creating, you'll find musings of fashion & photography curated to evangelize my ideal style..

Because women are complicated creatures who always desire more while simultaneously craving ease and simplicity, there are two signature looks that I have fallen for..

One being for the business side of a woman, laden with crisp details and loads of structured black with pops of cream or white, for a slim and sultry aura. A partial ode to Chanel, because why re-invent such a good wheel, when you can just spin it?

And the other for a woman's leisurely side with every splash of color that exists paired with oversized gold toned jewelry. My inspiration for this look comes from 1970s Brazil, a hay day in which my mother's era enjoyed the life of luxury at constant play in soft and flowy, luscious cungas (sarongs), strung around their bodies in heaps of wild color.
