Menswear Report

Come on guys, there is no excuse not to look exceptional in the coming months as the designers are out in full force displaying various looks for this year and into 2016 as you plan your exciting lives accordingly. Don't be left in the dust if you want that promotion, you want that special someone in your life, go for it, now is the time, and I am giving you permission to plan your wardrobe. All the best people do it, from Governors of States, to Hollywood moguls, to the busy lawyer, go for it. you won't regret it.

Any of these designer looks can be duplicated on a budget. As I have said, and will keep saying, do not look to Hollywood stars for fashion or style advice. They cannot dress themselves and normally are constructing a look to capture that next movie role and it isn't practical to copy. All it takes is some planning and not wasting that hard earned dough on video games, phones, notebooks, all that junk that takes you away from communicating with people that can actually get you to your goals of being an awesome person, inside and out.

The Beautiful Anita Ekberg

We seem to be saying good-bye again, this time to a beautiful model/actress Anita Ekberg. She first caught my eye in a small film, the last Martin & Lewis buddy film, "Artists and Models". She was very young and slender, with gorgeous hair and striking features.

She had a long and beautiful career but sadly, did not age too well as her features got harsh looking, as well as the weight gain, did not help. But she was unique and will not soon be forgotten as younger and younger movie goers discover this amazing creature on the classic move channels, I think they will be hooked.

"4 For Texas" Miss Ekberg's career was on the downswing, as the beautiful Ursula Andress was already set to take her place.

Simple Soup & Tea

Done with the holidays? I hope so, and I hope you are done with splurging in the waist area as you think about doing something good for your body and mind as you contemplate the road ahead. 

Make this year a productive and positive year by letting others benefit from your mere presence in their midst as they scrounge around for things to do or make them feel better, when all you have to do is access the Style Blog and you are on your way to better things rising above the chatter that is everyday life among the commoners. But oh well, at least when you go out in public, your public will look up to you while you avoid the pitfalls of the mundane and ugly, you know, people with no style. So, where to begin? How about some calming soup and tea?

Easy onion soup:

• Boil bottled spring water in a large pot
• Add a dash of iodized salt
• Add about one cup each of fresh chopped carrots and golden onions
• Boil for 15 minutes or more
• Reduce heat and cover and let it simmer and steam for another 15 minutes
• Remove from heat and pour into small bowls
• Add Vegan shredded Mozzarella cheese
• Add raw unsalted cashew nuts

Of course, you can add other veggies, but the broth itself taste really good with only the ingredients listed above.

Tea? Well of course. Here's a list of good ones for your complexion and digestion:

• Burdock root
• Licorice
• Mint Licorice
• Ginger
• Licorice & Ginger
• Berry Detox
• Sweet Rose

You can add a touch of powdered Wheat Grass to hot tea or water, or add it to a fruit smoothie for detox benefits and supposedly, to stop gray hair from growing on that gorgeous head of yours. Of course, plain hot boiling water with fresh squeezed lemon does wonders for your body and soul.

Here's to a Gorgeous New Year!
