“Dare To Go There”
Nicole Kidman, Harper’s Bazaar November 2012
It happened: We lost power during the forces of Hurricane Sandy. Without power, there is little to do. As soon as the darkness gave way to a somewhat lighter morning and I first checked to see that my family was alright and my house was in working order, I opened the November issue of Harper’s Bazaar that my friend Jean lent me, and I began to read. And read. And read!
Here are some interesting fashion tidbits:
– Bottega Veneta is going vegan exploring new mediums with a line of eco-friendly handbags (more news on creating sustainable fashion)
– Shop Bazaar.com introduces its online store for shopping made easy (more news on solving your problem and shopping online)
– The What’s In/What’s Out List (In: white. Out: neon clutches, tribal beads, go-go platforms, oversize totes, deconstructed bags, multi-finger rings, door-knocker earrings and moccasins.) So much more Out than In!
– Julia Reed writes about Fashion Politics and America’s first ladies of style.Their passion for fashion has had little to do with party lines.
– The News highlights Women who Dare. Harper’s Bazaar asks some influential women to share their stories of how they moved beyond personal fear to take on the most daring and risky feats of their lives. Says Katie Couric, “If you don’t take chances, you’ll never really live.” Inspiring!
– Cover girl Nicole Kidman reflects on her life, including her fashion choices for the red carpet. “I make sure to wear comfortable dresses … because I want to be able to go out afterward and, you know, bend.”
And then there were the usual finds in every Harper’s Bazaar; beautifully crafted pages, Fabulous at Every Age (20s – 70s),Your Horoscope, etc.
All in all, it was a lovely trip that carried me away from the anxious moments surrounding the storm. Thank you for being with me.
