Millicent Rogers (February 1, 1902 – January 1, 1953), better known as Millicent Rogers, was a socialite, fashion icon, and art collector.

She was  also a vivid activist besides a fashion icon. Millicent is one of my favorite ladies. I admire her capacity to help other people and not just remain in her golden castle. She was funny and led and adventurous life but most of all, she was impeccable (have you notice that in those days most women were like that?)

I remembered her  a few days ago when I visited Mexico since she was a patron of  New Mexico. When she died all the people from Taos came to her funeral. They sat there quietly and said goodbye to the woman who had fought for them with everything she had. For me, that’s something extremely noble and you know what? Back then, when I read about her life, it inspired me tremendously.

Her sense of fashion was unique, she mixed statement jewelry like no other. Always wore bold colors and paired them with strongly contrasting jewelry. She felt inspired by Mexican culture and style. Schiapparelly said about her “She was the only master of proportions when it came to mixing colors and patterns. Her ability looked extremely effortless and natural.”

We should always pay attention when mixing powerful colors and big  jewelry. Those colors should somehow complement each other and we must keep in mind a sense of moderation. We want to look classy and stylish not like one of Santa’s helpers don’t we?
