Confidence is the Best Accessory

Tuesday, January 31, 2012 0 comments
Style is not only about what you wear, but also how you carry yourself.This woman was walking on the Upper West Side with a friend when I noticed her from afar. I loved her look, but her confident pose stands out above everything else.

Do You Think Aging is a Privilege?

0 comments
While I am out photo-hunting on the Upper West Side, I always like to stop by Lynn Dell's Off Broadway Boutique. She has the most stylish customers, including the beautiful lady above.This glamorous woman told me that she had seen me on The Today Show and I replied that I would love to take her photograph, but that she seemed way too young. When she told me that she had a 40 year old son, I knew that she fit the bill. I was excited to capture her dazzling style to share with all of you.

When I got back home I reflected on this experience. I know that people are often told that they are too old to model and represent fashion, style and beauty. I wonder how it feels when I tell an older person that they are too young to appear on Advanced Style? Do they take this as a compliment? Is youth the only valued stage of life? 80 year old Joyce always tells me that, " To Age is a Privilege." I don't know about you, but I can't wait to get old.

A Vintage Red Hat

I was out walking when I noticed this woman and her beautiful red hat a few blocks ahead of me. I quickly ran up to her and asked if I could take her photograph. I told her that I loved her red hat and she replied, " I don't usually wear hats, but this one is my favorite. Everyone compliments it." I am always on the look out for a  great hat!

Tiramisu is one of my favorite treats for several years ... I got this recipe from my friend's aunt, and it's the most similar one to those from cake shops. It's really easy to make, and if you are a sugar addict like me, this will be your happy day! ;)
You will need :
- 4 eggs
- 6 tablespoons of sugar ( 4 for egg yolks and 2 for egg whites)
- whipped cream 250 ml
- mascarpone cheese 250 ml ( Zanetti is my favorite brand , i gotta admit that i didn't liked this one which i used)
- two packages of ladyfingers ( it depends of your vessel)
- coffee for soaking up the ladyfingers ( i prefer Nescafe)
- cocoa powder . 

Follow the instructions and after couple hours you will have your home made tiramisu! Enjoy!

Tiramisu je već nekoliko godina na listi mojih omiljenih poslastica a kao takav , morala sam mu naći i adekvatnu zamenu koja bi bila napravljena u kućnoj varijanti, nešto najpribližnije  zabajone kremu i pravom ukusu tiramisu-a. Recept sam dobila od drugaricine tetke i od taga ga vrlo rado  delim . :)
Potrebni sastojci:
- 4 jaja
- 6 supenih kašika šećera
- slatka pavlaka 250ml.
- maskarpone sir 250ml. ( najlepši ukus ima sir marke Zanotti, moram priznati da mi se ovaj sa slike nije dopao)
- dva pakovanja piškota ( u zavisnosti od posude)
- kafa ( najradije koristim Nescafe bez šećera)
- kakao .

Pratite uputstva sa fotografija i kroz dva do tri sata ćete imati svoj domaći tiramisu! :) Fil koji preostane najčešće iskoristim za dezert u čaši, koji služi da se premosti vreme dok se tiramisu ne stegne! ;)
Ukoliko budete imali pitanja vezanja za sam proces, vrlo rado ću vam odgovoriti  jer sada postoji mogućnost da se pojedinačno to učini za svaki napisani komentar pa je samim tim i preglednije! :)
Prijatno!

The Age of Glamour

0 comments
This week, I'm checking in on several of the Advanced Style ladies to get them prepared for a big TV appearance on Thursday morning(more details to come). One of the outfits Jacquie tried on was  this vintage red coat and a pair of beaded white high heels. At 81 years old she told me, " I come from the age of glamour. I'm not afraid to wear heels in my 80s."

A New Hairdo

Monday, January 23, 2012 0 comments
I met this woman on Madison Avenue last April after admiring her blue shoes and wonderful coat. She told me that men stop her on the streets to tell her how much they like her shoes. Just yesterday, I was dropping a friend off at Penn Station when I noticed an incredible woman with a fantastic hairdo. After taking a closer look, I realized she was the lady with the blue shoes that I had met some months before! We were both delighted to see one another again. I love her new hairstyle, don't you?

I was trying for so long not to create a profile on Pinterest, but i couldn't resist at the end. Here it is, im presenting you my new addiction (not that i needed one more ...) http://pinterest.com/vanjaam/ ! ;)
Pinterest is a place where you can organize and share all those gorgeous things that you find on the web! You can create boards with special names, pin or repin, like or comment. It's such a nice place. The main reason for creating my profile over there is to clean the computer from thousands of cute photos and folders. It's like some online storage place for your inspirational pictures. Bye, bye "save as" i'm on the Pinterest now! ;)
If you have your profile, you can follow me!
Enjoy in Sunday!
