I am not going to change the world or change you all. I just want to share my professional points of view on what you don’t know or what you don’t want to know and on what I see and you don’t see. My truth is going to be very painful but it needs to be heard by all american women

I am going to share my knowledge, my expertise and my experience. you might like it or not – your decision. You can stop reading at any time and hate me, which is fine. But for those whom my words have some meaning, stay with me because I am here to help you!

What is Chic?

“Chic is one of a few things that, refusing to bow down and worship fashion, is not crushed under the wheels of that juggernaut.  Chic is to fashion what poetry is to to prose, cold veal to roast partridge, a gadfly to a bull.  What is chic may in a sense be fashionable, but what is fashionable cannot be chic.  Anybody can wear and do what is fashionable.  It is not fashionable unless a lot of people do it, and have it on - until, in three words which grate rather hard upon the ear, it is common.  Chic cannot be common.  You cannot put on another person’s chic, as you may put on her boots or her hat.  You cannot copy it.  You never know where to look for it.  It has the quickness of a hummingbird and the vitality of an eel…If you are told that this or that isn’t fashionable, and you are able to reply: “No, but it’s chic.” -  you have won the day.”
