I consider lace to be one of the prettiest imitations ever made of the fantasy of nature; lace always evokes for me those incomparable designs which the branches and leaves of trees embroider across the sky, and I do not think that any invention of the human spirit could have a more graceful or precise origin.
My friends, there are no friends.
Look for the woman in the dress. If there is no woman, there is no dress.
Fashion changes, but style endures.
The best accessory for a woman - handsome man!
Women have always been the strong ones of the world. The men are always seeking from women a little pillow to put their heads down on. They are always longing for the mother who held them as infants.

To achieve great things, we must first dream.
Beauty Should Begin in the Heart and Soul, otherwise cosmetics are useless.
