Which is more important to you "less wrinkles" or "glowing skin"?
posted on Tuesday, April 15, 2008
I personally try not to obsess about wrinkles. Especially since my health was always more important to me than taking or doing anything that might prove detrimental, or I deem as "taking chance"s, like certain estrogen replacement as well as more invasive cosmetic procedures may entail. I do my best to keep my minimal make-up regime, hair style, and my clothing looking modern, timeless and always with my personal twist. I try to inspire and teach my clients the same and individualize everything so that they are indeed unique.
I was glad when I met with certainly a "kindred spirit" the other day for coffee/tea...and she made certain observations, that I (like any woman) enjoyed hearing as a compliment. She said my skin glowed. Like the holistic viewpoint "We try to provide answers to problems of everyday life, to make the customer more comfortable with herself, with the aging process"professed by the d'Ornano ( once Lancome, today is Orlane, and Sisley ) family members recently interviewed by Daphne Merkin for the NY Times Style Magazine...I follow a similar mantra. Ms Merkin also noted that "glowing skin is part of the well considered life rather than an arena of female obsession and anxiety"..is also part of their more European sensibility.
I told my friend that part of my secret was, coincidentally enough, a Sisley bronzing powder...which I wear strategically to mimimic a healthy sun-kissed effect-and glow.
So I offer a very American "high-five" to the d'Ornano family for their excellent "unglossy" yet glowing philosophy.
What a difference a few years make!

This morning Kathy Lee Gifford made her "debut" on the the Today Show as a regular host. It's the best I've seen her look ever. Why? Because she wasn't trying so hard to look so sexy anymore. She looked more attractive and stylish this first day than I ever saw her dressed on the Regis and Kathy Show. She wore a simple black turtleneck sweater dress to her knee, belted with a well proportioned "hoop" chain . Her bright yellow raincoat , again, was simple and sleek, and provided the "zing" and colorful cheer for her first day.Her hoop earrings were youthful and her black (I think patent) pumps were not too lady-like...just right.This new look may be the result of a stylist's good advice or her own new more mature and informed selection.Times 'they are a-changin' and slowly but surely baby boomers may be getting a new understanding of how attractive they can be (better than ever even) with this modern take on great, hip and appropriate style.
Kudos to Kathy!
