    super classic as always, Carolina Herrera. No logos, no loudness, no flashiness. It's simple, feminine and tasteful. Not everyone can pull off elegance.

    She reminds me all those charming high class aunties of good old Caracas of the 80’s and 90’s. No hair out of place, no bad attitude or lack of respect to anyone, especially to their own helping staff. Always gracious, always charming, always classy. Tea time with these high class ladies in Venezuela was nothing to envy Paris or London of the 20th century, just maybe palms, colorful birds and sunny days as typical surrounding.

      @@TheMorganVEVO chavism happened. A regime masked with the false name of socialism took over the country and destroyed it. The colorful birds, the gardens, the blue sky and the fresh air remains. But all those elegant aunties and their rich classy families moved to other latitudes of the world. I hope we can all grace our country with our best example to the new lands that welcomed us.
