Besame, Besame mucho

In my every day walk around the web, I found this amazing US makeup company, For US gals, this no surprise, but for me in France: It's a CHOC! I am in Looove. First the name of the brand "Besame"! Which, for non spanish speaking means Kiss-me! What a start! Then, a quick look at the website intro image and Ad for the brand and I was hooked! I love the color of her lipstick : Carmine... This is so the right color for summer! I love it , and I totally picture myself with it! But I also totally picture myself in the Red Hot...Oh Yeah!

 

I guess the fact that the president of this company is a woman is very likable to!! I will keep you tuned about my purchase at Besame!!

The perfect vintage Wardrobe #1: PANTS

In perfect vintage wardrobe, there is certainly the dresses, but there are also pants. In this case, I'm more of an Katharine Hepburn and Audrey Hepburn as Amelia Hearhart kind of girl ... (matter of morphology!). I am a huge fan of Katharine Hepburn, her rebellious side and decided mind, her self confidence is an inspiration to me!

These baggy pants, reminiscent also of another huge star, Marlene Dietrich, are a delight to wear. They are very easy to match many opportunities: office, night out, resting home ... I could not not put it in this series. For the pattern, I think that the one in Burda issue of October 2010 is really perfect. Large, feminin and highly inspired from male costume. Just PERFECT (or almost, I really want to add a backhand ... so)!









In the Pants chapter, there would also be the "cigarette" pants so important in BB and Audrey Hepburn style. You just can not do it without this great classic that dresses you up in a twist. Again, it is suitable for almost all activities.
Even if black seems to be the color for those pants, I can totally picture them in many bright color, maybe even in gingham or cute prints...And so much more!

 You could accuse me of being to selective in my choices, but the truth is I made my mind on those one! Not only because they obviously fit my body style but also because I think they are so chic! Any other idea?
