  • For some reason, the brooch is like the middle child of accessories. A good brooch immediately brings class and chic finesse. It can be used in so many different ways to bring up an outfit up and make it more elegant. Use them! Collect them! Hand them down! xoxo

    I did the broach as a replacement for a tie to an event and I received so many compliments. Thank you for the tip.

    I would spend many a Sunday trawling through posh antique markets with my father when I was a teenager. It started off two collections - champagne and cocktail glasses and brooches. My career attire had to be classic and formal ..... But was often punctuated with a 1950's glitzy piece! Together with a silk scarf, they were my way to add a little individuality. You made me realise that I haven't worn a brooch in ten years and need to start flaunting them again!

      For a while, I worked in a very strict business suit environment. But always had a brooch at the neck or lapel - or sometimes 3 on a pocket slash. My stockings were tone on tone mini fishnets, too. They always thought I was so "creative." (You should have seen me off hours.) New here and adore you.

    Exquisite! I've been looking at each outfit combined with the brooches over and over again and can't get enough of it! Actually,I can't get enough of any video you post and watch them multiple times! I also love listening to you: clever with a sense of humour, sophisticated, cultivated. Thank you for making such a big difference!🥇

    Thanks for reminding me of my brooches! I bought so many flowery ones some years ago that I keep finding them in the most different places of my home. Don't know how my husband didn't call me flower girl at that time, as I was using them in my hair all the time!
    And even put one on my pearl necklace for a wedding where I was using a suit combination. It just updated the whole outfit!
    Brooches are fun!

    I own 100s of broaches and have worn them for decades…. I even have the same red/white/blue metal flower pinwheels from the 70s, you’ve got - they’re so fun!
    BUTT, you’re right, very few of us wear them anymore. I like wearing them in my hair; especially the big oversized silk flower ones. I attach them via two safety pins to my biggest hair clip (I have below the shoulder length hair) and clip my hair into a French twist with the broach on one side like Carman Miranda.
    I even decorate my home with them. They are great on lamp shades, curtain tie-backs, guest towels in the powder room, etc. I’ve even glued (inexpensive ones) to vases and I’ve put them on decorative wire cloches and bird cages that I use for seasonal centerpieces or displays.
    Anybody I see wearing one, I always notice and make sure I tell them it looks beautiful….to encourage them to keep rocking it!!
    I think they are super fun, conversation starters, seasonal and they just give you a little something extra in your day. Try it for yourselves!!
