(Daily Telegraph U.K.)

Film Noir is one of my absolute favorite genre's of movies. The women, be they the lethal femme fatale or the jaded vixen, simply "oozed" glamour. I see visions of Lauren Bacall, Lizbeth Scott and Joan Crawford when looking at the gorgeous clothing and jewelry featured here.

It's my belief that every wardrobe needs a "little injection" of red. Red is one of my favorite colors and I always make sure that I have some red pieces to jazz things up a bit.....it's a great color for those drab fall and winter days.
