"Be Bold, Be TZEN" - Beauty and state of mind ~

"Be Bold, Be TZEN"
 
We absolutely LOVE our newest Designer Direct addition!  Julie Liu of TZEN, designs limited editions of beautiful styles for women that do NOT want to look like everyone else.  She shares the sentiment of the Luxe Life customer (women and men alike) and others that have achieved a sense of style unique to them.  


John Fairchild says; "Style is an expression of individualism mixed with charisma.  Fashion comes after style".  I concur and follow that up with a quote from my personal style icon;


“Fashion fades, only style remains the same.” Coco Chanel  

And another great quote of mine coincidentally just showed up on the Facebook feed page of the talented Melissa Song, Luxe Life Partner and Fashion Photographer.  
"I never change, I simply become more myself."
Joyce Carol Oates

I believe these quotes are accurate in defining the Luxe Life customer.  Sophisticated people with a developed eye and taste-level derived from worldly travels, education, rich experiences and social-consciousness.   All have reached a level of self-discovery that precedes defining their personal style.  Whatever it may be, it is their unique expression.

Our mission at Luxe Life to bring the best of new and vintage pieces with an emphasis on timeless designs, quality materials and craftsmanship.  We hope you enjoy the selection and designs from TZEN as much as we do.

All our pieces are limited collection pieces that are never mass produced. One of a kind pieces are commonplace at TZEN and we hope that you will find a burst of freshness from our uniqueness. Please enjoy ..."

On another note, Sarah Jade Brinckman whom I met at the Fashion Group International, Chicago "Career Day" last November has joined the Luxe Life Team and will be Guest Blogging for me.  

Sarah moved to Chicago last year to accompany her Fiance who is a business student at Kellogg Graduate School of Management at Northwestern and is finishing up his Masters of Business Administration.  No easy feat I assure you.  Sarah's lengthy career at J. Mendel in NY and at Neiman Marcus coupled with her passion for fashion and eloquent way with words promise to bring some fresh fashion perspective for us all.

Finally, Happy New Year!  Year of the Rabbit is known to be full of fun and opportunity.  After 2 long years in the trenches, I'm ready for a little more fun.
