TALL Blonde's Favorite Things : FASHION : FUN : TRENDS

Fall/Winter 2022 Gloves <click this link here>

Classic Denim

Denim is an American staple in fashion. What started out as worker's industrial wear reinforced with copper rivets and made popular during the California Gold Rush of the mid 19th century, brands like San Francisco founded Levi's has been producing denim for all age groups and numerous generations. But did you know denim is originally French fashion? The fabric known today as denim was originally made in a small French town called Nimes <pronounced neem>. If one were to say this hard wearing fabric is from Nimes you would say "de Nimes". Say this 5 times fast and you can well understand the rebranded name.

Well over 150 years old and in no signs of dropping out,

Fall/Winter 2022

These gloves are like a great pair of shoes.

Wear them to accentuate your fashion identity, not cold weather or gardening.

Gentlemen, Start Your Style Engine

Jacob Gallagher wrote a piece in the Wall Street Journal in October on how men are becoming more bold in their fashion statement and having fun with nail art. Time to drop the necktie and pick up a tiny paint brush. Matte finishes are perfect for you and come in an array of soft tones. Add a stencil in a shiny polish for an eye catcher. TALL Blonde is here to help with Press-Paint-Peel Nail Stencils on Poshmark. It will save you time away from a salon and save that hard to earn cash. Gents, see my curated selection of stencils to match your mood and personality. Custom orders available.

Charmed to Meet You

Here is the simplest of DIY jewelry projects. Every time TALLBlonde wears hers, numerous complements are given and questions are asked. My favorite teller at my bank today said "When I get home tonight I am raiding my daughter's jewel box!"

First, get a short neck chain, traditionally 16-inches in length.

Second, find your old charm bracelets that you no longer wear because they have fallen out of fashion.

Third, clip it to the necklace with the usual bracelet clasp (lobster claw, etc.)

The example above shows two charm bracelets hooked on to a single chain.

EASY !!

Money Lei

Graduation time is upon us again! Yeah, I feel another year older. With 50-singles, some string and a glue stick, it is easy to make a gift that is memorable, wearable and spendable. Admit it, you were going to be boring and just put a check inside a card weren't you?

This is an excellent gift idea for a Quinceanera or Baby Shower-
