Letter From The Editor

Spring greetings to one and all. It is a most auspicious time of year. The time to come
out of hiding and start enjoying the outdoors and lush sunshine. The world is starting
to bloom and so are we. We must put on our aura of countenance and shine forth. And
of course time to socialize. Get out and about with friends and family. A time to make
new friends and try new fashion. Expand your horizons and well have fun. Show
your party girl side in a woman’s time. Each issue we aim to bring you looks that
are accessible & stylish. The looks are intended to inspire and encourage women
to accessorize their lives. Each time we endeavor to create a world of Marvelous
Mode. Take you on adventure of sorts into fashion chic style and accessorizing. My
life would not be half of what it is without fashion. It has brought me such joy and
it fuels my every day life. 2014 marks our 3rd year in publication. When
I started out on this journey, I had no idea where it would take me but it has been
a huge surprise that is taking on new meaning for me and others. I believe fashion
is meant to be enjoyed. It is a way for us to express who we are every day. So this
year get out of your shell and entertain in a Marvelous Mode style.

Cheers!

Social Butter y

2014 is the year to get out and about. This Spring Summer 2014 is for the Social Butter y in
us all. Flit about from soirees to teas and everything in between . Chose Flirty Frou Fashion
that enlivens the senses. Plan parties and attend many outings. It’s time to celebrate.
The social butter y has been a term in the 20th Century to describe women in high
society or socialites who are truly Marvelous hostesses and partiers. These women
are not of the shall we say club girls but women who attend functions to enrich
their lives. They spend much time planning their wardrobes and parties. In this Issue
we have chosen to create a Mad Hatter Tea Party. Social butter ies love taking tea
by themselves or with others. This is a chance to entertain on the most highest level
and relax while enjoying the company of others over tea. This is a time honored
tradition brought over from England. However, tea ceremonies date back to many
centuries in Asia. So meander through our garden of delightful fashion chic style and
accessorizing for ideas to enrich your life.

The Fedora Asymmetrical Brim Straw Fedora Hat
For the last decade the Fedora has http://www.villagehatshop.com/
de nitely been the most popular hat
worn by women and men alike. However,
as history served the hat was originally
a feminine silhouette many centuries ago.
Then in the 20th Century it became a man’s
style. However in the 1930’s & 40’s the
women’s fedora made a comeback.
This season white fedoras whether panama
style or short brim are fresh. Natural straw
stylized fedora with ower trims and fabric
are chic. A Dark denim colored fedora can
add a chic mystery to the face.

There is so much to say about the American Milliner/Designer 35
Hattie Carnegie. Born in Austria and immigrated to America
at the beginning of the 20th Century. She started out in Hats
with a friend & opened a shop in lower Manhattan. The styles
were so popular and then the carriage trade discovered her so
she moved uptown to 42 East 49th St and thus began the
era of Hattie Carnegie. She was a lady who understood
elegance and the true elegance of European Couture. But
she also best understood the American Woman’s taste. In
her new boutique she began importing Vionnet, Chanel and other
Parisian high end fashions for her growing clientele. She
was a lady who understood the value of moving in social
circles and it was her social butter y virtues that endeared
her to her elite clientele. She dressed Joan Crawford,
Joan Bennet, Barbara Hutton and many other stars and socialites.
And she discovered a little known upstate New York girl who
would later become the Queen of Hollywood - Lucille Ball.
Lucy began her career as one of Hattie Carnegie’s in House Models.
Hattie was so taken with Lucy that she mentored her and even
took care of her as Lucy was a icted with Rheumatoid Arthritis her
whole life. Lucy was just a teenager when she came to Hattie’s and
this brought out the motherliness in Hattie. Lucy commented in
her life that Hattie taught her so much and one of things was
how to dress and present oneself. Clare McCardell has been
credited for forging the American Design Style; however, Clare
worked for Hattie before venturing out on her own as did many
other American Designers during the 1920s - 1950s. Hattie should
actually be credited for the beginnings of modern American design
as it was her creativity and business sense along with her impeccable
elegance that drove her success and established American Fashion.

Brilliance In Bottles

http://www.skinceuticals.com

When you are entertaining & being entertained you need to
be exuberant & charming. However, if your skin is dull then
all the charm in the world will not work. So we chose
two lovely products that hydrate and refresh dull skin.

- h20+ Night Oasis Oygenating Rejuvenator - This lovely night time moisturizer
is light with a light scent. It works overnight to help aid your skin in hydration
to wake in the morning with a glow. We certainly woke up with a brilliant complexion.

- SkinCeuticals Phloretin CF Broad - Range Antioxidant Treatment - This day
treatment is serious skin care. It encourages the collagen to repair which
in turns gives a newness to the skin. We found this enlivening to the firmness
in our skin and it boosted the glow factor.

The “IT” of cosmetics

Modern Social Butter ies are itting about from soiree to tea
and everything that is peachy keen, so they need a cosmetic
line that does more than add color. It Cosmetics is on the cutting
edge of cosmetics that improves the skin while you wear it.
For our party looks we chose exciting bases to
bring out our brilliant best.

It Cosmetics

www.itcosmetics.com

*Feel The Moment Primer Serum - This product was a magic potion in the bottle. 49
And a little goes a long way. The pleasing aroma added to the e ect. A must have.
*ByeBye Under Eye & Hello Light Liquid Brightener in Light - We normally do not like
concealers as they are cakey and go in pores. But this magic wand was a dream to use
and soothing. It really hides lines and highlights your assets.
*Celebration Foundation Illumination in Fair - This is de nitely a new technology in
foundation. We loved the lightness and the color. Gives a lovely glow to the skin and
great coverage.
*Tight Line Waterproof Full Lash & Liner - A brilliant product this one. A mascara that
de nes and lengthens with a liner in one. Absolute brilliance in one bottle.
*Vitality Flush Color Stain Stick in Je Ne Sais Quoi - Our fav product and creme blusher.
This little magic in a stick looks clear but works with your skin to give a blush of an
e ect. It also has the most yummy cherry aroma.
*CC+ Lip Serum in Love - Yes you will fall in love with this lip gloss. It enhances and adds
fullness without bloating the lip. This is important because to much plumping can stretch
skin and give wrinkles. The color gives a lovely stain to the lip and the light glossy texture
is just right. The beautiful nude rosy color is great for all skin tones.
