I wish I could swap closets with Diana Vreeland, but I think only my left thigh would fit into her clothing.
I'm really into a blush on the eyelid and on the high of the cheek. The singer of 'Cocteau Twins' used to do that - really pink eyelids. It added a little romance to the hard kind of street-edge clothes.
