The Skin She Is In

Good God!  What is that stuff on Daria Werbowy's face in the Septemeber issue of Interview?!  What?!  What is that you said?  Her skin?  You mean, like her real, actual skin??  Not some pore-less, line-less, airbrushed, creepily idealized version of what a woman's skin should look like?  Not the kind of skin that certain women and actresses are trying to attain in everyday life??

Oh.

I have not seen actual skin in a magazine for so long, I forgot what it looked like.

And Daria Werbowy (and her skin : ) looks beautiful.  Really beautiful.  This is what skin should look like on a beach, in real life and in a magazine.

Fashion Will You Still Need Me, Will You Still Love Me When I'm 62? Part 3: Myth Busters

I really love this series on women over the average age of the models you see in the fashion magazines on our RARE vintage blog.  Because it gives us hope that: no, you do not have to forsake fashion or that fashion will not forsake you when you are over 30.  And that one day when we are a 'woman of a certain age' we can still look at magazines, go into the stores and get as obsessed and as excited as we are now by fashion.  You would think by looking at 99% of all magazines that women over 50 should not even get out of bed and bother dressing themselves at all - much less in something fashionable.  

So this, the third in our series Fashion Will You Still Need Me, Will You Still Love Me When I'm 62?  (Or 72) is:

The Myth Busters edition!

Myth Buster 1:  You have to cut your hair.  No sane woman over the age of, what 29?  should have long hair.  

Myth Busted!

Real Girl, Real Vintage

We had a few of these adorable Chanel bow cashmere sweaters awhile back and it is always fun to see vintage on real girls in real life.

Michelle Harper in Vogue Japan!

In fashion there is an exclusive club of a dwindling number: women with a rarefied personal sense of style. Women who are fearless about wearing what they want, the way they want.  Michelle Harper is a street-style super star, sought after by street style photographers  for her inventive and personal way of dressing.  

And what do we I Spy in the grade robe of Michelle in Vogue Japan?  A beautiful (okay, we I Spied A LOT of beautiful things ; ) Valentino Couture dress with Japonisme beaded embroidery by Lesage from RARE vintage: a go to source for a girl with style.
