I've seen her in person on 2 runways, one at our local shopping centre Spring Fashion show last year, and one at NZ Fashion week. She is of course tall and gorgeous still, but at least she is 57 with grey hair! She is originally from Scotland and modelled in London back in 1984 initially then was re-discoverd here after a decades-long break.<br /><a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.nzherald.co.nz/lifestyle/news/article.cfm?c_id=6&amp;objectid=11816531">http://www.nzherald.co.nz/life.....d=11816531</a>&nbsp;NZ Herald is our biggest national newspaper.

I used to buy from time to time if I have a % off and knew an exact item I was looking for.

My feet are happiest when I rotate daily.</p> <p>I can't wait to look at the other links, but I always make myself wait for Friday. It's my weekly ritual, with coffee. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/please-post-your-bi-weekly-links-here-15#post-1816892 Tue, 20 Jun 2017 09:02:58 +0000 Inge 1816892@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Silver - It's such a brilliant project, isn't it. And I could get lost for hours on the website, WOW.</p> <p>Isabelle - Couldn't agree more!-)</p> <p>La Belle - I loved the thought process behind the uniform dressing. The travel sizes tip is a great suggestion for sure. And backpacks only for a 3-week European trip, I'm impressed! I didn't agree with not bringing at least one extra pair of shoes though. What if the pair you brought suddenly starts feeling uncomfortable, or you are caught in a rainstorm and they are soaking wet etc.? (I guess you could always buy new shoes on the spot, but then you'd have to break those in, which could be tricky...).</p> <p>JAileen - Interesting indeed, and it was fun to see so much pink pop up.</p> <p>Thanks so much ladies for these excellent links. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/please-post-your-bi-weekly-links-here-15#post-1816888 Tue, 20 Jun 2017 08:08:41 +0000 Ledonna N. 1816888@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh this is some great reading.

It’s part of Google’s Arts &amp; Culture platform, which is digitizing the world’s cultural treasures, and functions as a searchable guide to a collective archive of some 30,000 fashion pieces that puts “three millennia of fashion at your fingertips,” Google says.</p> <p>But it isn’t just a database. Google has worked with curators to create more than 450 exhibits on different topics—say, how the cheongsam changed the way Chinese women dress—making the site an endlessly entertaining, educational portal filled with stunning imagery touching on everything from modern Japanese streetwear to the clothes worn at the court of Versailles." </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/please-post-your-bi-weekly-links-here-15#post-1816639 Mon, 19 Jun 2017 10:57:30 +0000 skylurker 1816639@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Amsterdam, 1982<br /> <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/BVQGhVoBxSK/?taken-by=sophiefontanel" rel="nofollow">https://www.instagram.com/p/BV.....iefontanel</a></p> <p>Streetstyle is fun to watch, vintage streetstyle : even better. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/please-post-your-bi-weekly-links-here-15#post-1816635 Mon, 19 Jun 2017 10:04:34 +0000 Inge 1816635@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi everyone,</p> <p>It's time for another round Did you come across an interesting style-related post these last weeks?
