When preparing to travel, lay out all your clothes and all your money.
Then take half the clothes and twice the money.

Easy Glamour

Just what I’ve been looking (and looking, and looking) for. With one stunning piece, a pair of sandals and some hoop earrings, I don’t need anything else for easy summer glamour. (Sneak peek at a new collection by Carmelita Couture.)

Last week, the fabulous Francesca Rivetti, art director of Follice, invited me backstage before the premiere of a new weekly summer event of art and fashion in Philadelphia.  Gathered at her urban chic hair boutique were models, makeup artist Susan Sorrell and fashion designer Carmelita Martell of Carmelita Couture.  There were bags of braids, racks of frocks and pots of powders. All came together for a runway show on Sansom Street, part of the premiere of Glendi Thursdays at Opa in Philadelphia.
