About Me

My photo
Retail background in London. Moved to NYC in 1983. Joined PR firm in 1986. VP. Started own boutique PR agency in 2003. Devoted to Quality.

Luxe is a 4 letter word.

Is a TV considered luxury? or a refrigerator? Years ago, they were, but times change and these luxuries become necessesities.
Today, QUALITY has replaced the 'L' word.. OK, so quality will cost you, but in the long run, penny-for-penny per use, a quality product will far outlive a cheaper version... and you'll look better for it.. There is a reason why hand sewn shoes, for example, cost an arm and a foot, and that's because they 'last' ( pun intended).
Same goes for everything from well constructed handsewn clothing (especially Savile Row & Neapolitan - they know what they are doing, and been doing it for donkey's years) to haute cusine ( but sensible foods only -your body is a temple, love it and it will love you back, abuse it with sat fats and R.I.P) In these 'challenging' economic times spend wisely and spend accordingly.

Wow them in White.. ahhhh, Summer..

I love black, don't get me wrong. 95% of my wardrobe is black, navy or different shades of grey.. but come high Summer, wonderful white rules. Crisp, light, cool, white reflects the heat away, leaving you cool and comfy. White looks at it's best when you do as well, with a bit of a tan, and not the 'pale but interesting' look that Winter forces on us.

White looks good with white... with ivory, stone, khaki, and all those other lovely natural neutrals.

The picture from Playboy Magazine shows a slightly fitted white cotton stretch poplin shirt by Lorenzini which has a small rounded collar and a natural ivory colored hand sewn silk tie by Massimo Bizzocchi. Wear it loose and uptight with either white jeans or flat front white cotton pants.
