Here are my recommendations for the best makeup. They are made by Giorgio Armani, who uses finely milled powders for eye shadows and pressed powder. The colors always go on sheer. They are never heavy or too bold. The Luminous Silk Foundation is a miracle.
 
The new lipstick called Rouge d'Armani has gorgeous colors and moisturizes the lips as well. It does not come off easily, but it does not feel dry.

These are the perfumes I love:
- L'Heure Bleue by Guerlain
- Angeliques sous la pluie by Jean-Claude Ellena (Parfums Frederic Malle)
- Coco by Chanel
- Grand d'Amour by Annick Goutal
- Givrine by Coudray
- Parfum de Therese by Edmond Roudnitska (Parfums Frederic Malle)

My favorite eye shadow palettes for fall - lots of grays and aubergine, neutral tones and deep colors

For late summer, early fall when our feet deserve to be cooled by the afternoon breezes, here's my selection of the prettiest high heeled strappy sandals. I have the pair in the center by Jean Michel Cazabat.

The Jean-Michel Cazabat shoes are the centerpoint of this look. I bought these shoes, in an elegant eggplant suede color, at Shopbop. The Bally bag adds a rough element to prevent the ensemble from looking too bourgeois. The Sportmax short coat makes this something that a city girl would wear in early fall or in the spring.
