Style Fit For A Queen

CLEOPATRA, that is...

Whether your mental image of Cleopatra is Elizabeth Taylor or closer to Tina Turner, as she posed

in Kevyn Aucoin's book, Face Forward, you cannot mistake that she must have had one heck of a

closet! The nubian beauty is portrayed to have one of the most awe-inspiring wardrobe's of anyone's time.

I for one, am a huge fan of the Egyptian culture and love learning new and interesting facts about that

particular time when Cleo was in command. I mean, she had 2 of the most notable rulers of that time

pretty much eating out of the palm of her hand and definitely worshipping the ground she walked on!

I'm pretty impressed!

So, during a late night fashion site fix, the site being Net-a-Porter, I came across tons of items

that I thought could defnitely be an impulse buy for the queen. From gold bangle cuffs, to a very

distinct Versace bright purple form fitting dress that she could definitely pull off and seize a few more

emperors hearts with! Next year I am definitely gonna be Cleopatra for Halloween!

If she were around today, she would definitely be bookmarking all of these items to buy:
