Guilty weekend confession. I watched The Way We Were for the first time ever. And not because it’s a classic. Nor because it stars Barbara Streisand who amuses me endlessly because she looks like a Muppet. No my pretties I watched this movie for a far, far more stupid reason. Because there was a Sex in the City episode about it and I really needed to understand what a ‘Katie Girl’ was. But I never found out because I fell asleep half way through it. I assume a ‘Katie Girl’ is like ‘Carrie Girl’ but whatever, the point is there are some damn fabulous style tips we should be pulling from Ms Streisand the Muppet Master herself…
Style Tips to Steal
* Lots of black eyeliner – When did women stop wearing make-up? Get out those kohl pencils and liquid eyeliners and make a proper effort with your make up. Smoky eyes and glossy lips are oh-so-Barbara. With lashings of saucy mascara.
* Long tapered red nails – Katie has the most amazing long red nails that are filed into a tapered oval. Stunning. Her fingers look so long and elegant. Diana Vreeland’s nails were the same. None of this short and square French crap lets rewind a few years and bring back the screen siren red daggers of yesteryear.
* Hair that makes a statement – Whether she is embracing her curls in college or creating structural waves Barb’s hair looks like hair with attitude. It knows what it’s doing and what it’s trying to achieve and does it effortlessly. It’s efficient hair. Don’t let your hair ‘be’. Tell it what to do, you’re the boss baby.
* Bangles and Pins – Barbara’s choice accessories through out the movie are chunky bangles and chunky pins. They work perfectly together. Who’d of thunk it?
* Little jackets and cardigans – Perfect for in between weather, Barbara takes work outfits into the evening with little wrap cardigans and short jackets. Much hipper than clunky jackets or long chunky cardigans. And perfect for pairing your bangles and pins with!
P.S – No outfit post today (or most of last week) pretty much because I haven’t taken off my sari since I bought it. Mama Smaggle says she is going to confiscate it because she thinks it needs a wash. She just doesn’t understand the pleasures of pure silk against her skin or she would she never force me to be without my slinky haven…
