Black Swan (2010): Natalie Portman, Mila Kunis, Vincent Cassel

-
Black Swan is a disturbing psychological thriller based on a ballerina's physically and mentally gruelling role in the ballet - The White Swan.  Portman, won an Oscar for Best Actress in 2010 for this movie. The portrayal of Princess Odette, White Swan, is brilliant along with the pirouette into insanity by becoming the Black Swan.  The film is deeply twisted and darkly meshed with jealousy, betrayal, lust, self loathing and a crazy parent with a  few typical Hollywood movie scenes.  Not uplifting or for the faint of heart. 

PASS!  Unless enjoyment is found wallowing in dreary and depressing stories about dysfunctional personalities.  Seeing The White Swan at a ballet theatre seems more promising.

  Passion for Red Apparel  Photo by  Nick Fewings  on  Unsplash I love red.  Anyone who knows me understands I adore red and especially red lipstick.  A friend of mine who I worked with said, "Kim wore red lipstick before Angelina Jolie did."   On the opposite side of the spectrum, my mother did not care for my red lipstick.  However, when you love something, you love something.  Why do I love red?  Well, red is the color of strength, love, passion, loyalty, and courage.  It is my statement color.  We all should have a statement color that symbolizes who we are in this life.  Why not be a lioness in red?  Moreover, red is the holiday hue of the season.  Perhaps everyone this year wants to sparkle, give back and stand out.  Be a leader and not a follower.  Live by example and expect respect from those around you.   How do you decide which red to wear?  It has to do with the tone of your skin.  If you have a blue undertone in your veins, then you will want to select a blue red.

  Cold, Sleet, Hail  Photo by  Katsia Jazwinska   on   Unsplash Who can resist cashmere in any form?  The fabric is soft, sensual, and very warm especially on frosty days.  A large cashmere scarf is also toasty when at home by a fire, on a plane traveling or even out for your daily errands.  For me, when playing tennis, a cashmere scarf is a necessity when racing from the cold outdoors to an indoor court.  Additionally, there is nothing more elegant than a pop of cashmere color to highlight one's face.  This week you might be looking for cashmere with the upcoming Black Friday Sales .   I found one for you at Bloomindales.

Houndstooth Coat

   Fall is Here A warm fashionable coat is a must for the upcoming wintery season. Meghan Markle recently wore a stunning herringbone coat to the One805 Fundraiser in Santa Barbara signaling fall has arrived. A houndstooth coat is like a herringbone coat though the pattern is a slightly different.  I found this beautiful houndstooth coat online.  Ironically, it is from the British brand Barbour which I personally love.  I own two Barbour coats and the quality is sublime.  This Barbour Houndstooth piece fits the fall bill and is elegant.  Imagine wearing a black turtleneck, black jeans or fitted pants with tapered legs, boots, and gold hoops for a show stopping display.  The wind will howl, gold, yellow, and red leaves swirl as you waltz through the day.  Fall is glorious and the festivities are about to commence.  Houndstooth Trivia  The distinctive hounds tooth pattern originates from Scotland and has been around from 360 AD and 100 AC.  The design of the pattern was to ensure the S
