Sophia!

Sophia Loren is a style and lifestyle muse for me! Sophia is sexy, sophisticated, self-deprecating, feisty, determined, elegant, womanly...the list of accolades could go on and on... 

I love her endearing and enduring STAR quality! Not many can maintain it for a lifetime...but she has managed quite well...

This is a really great little compilation of a movie with Sophia and Marcelo Mastroianni

without the Italian dialogue...(the visuals are enough!). It is worth watching until the end...for a little surprise!

One of my favorite scenes in one of my favorite movies.  Houseboat  (1958) with Sophia Loren and Cary Grant. Many people don't know but Cary Grant carried a torch for Sophia for years. You can definitely feel their real chemistry in this scene! Click here.

Here is link to view Sophia as an older woman on a fashion shoot for Town and Country in Milan! Talk about aging gracefully! Inspirational! Click here.

As I age... I think about Sophia's vitality and approach to beauty and I am going to try and follow her lead...that is why she is my Style Sherpa!
