Right now I am focused on the crisp, clean pureness of white. It is so fresh, light, clean-looking, glamorous and any man, woman or child can wear the ever-stylish classic white shirt. Even white horses give me a sense of serenity and relaxation. And how much I do love fresh, good quality white bed linen. White paired with black is classic and eye-catching. White is simply sensational.  Audrey Hepburn  Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers  Natalie Portman  Ralph Lauren

I was at the Ritz yesterday at afternoon tea time. It just reminded me of this magnificent scene and I thought I'd treat you to it as the official song of February. I really do hope you enjoy the spectacular talent of Fred Astaire. It's a shame our most prized film stars these days just can't do what Fred did.
