Trying to find style icons for the grown-up girl is not easy! One of my all-time favorites is Deeda Blair. The epic socialite is not only known for her fabulous fashion style, but also her impeccable gray hairdo, and most importantly her work as a medical philanthropist.
Not surprisingly, Harper's Bazaar named her as one of the most stylish women of 2013.

Ms. Blair was born in 1931 and grew up in Chicago, attending parochial schools and then on to a two-year junior college. She lived a vigorously social life and after a disastrous first marriage, she married her true love William McCormick Blair, Jr.
For 37 years Deeda Blair hosted stylish parties in her Washington, DC home. Her and her husband now reside in New York City.
Although she has been a smoker since the age of 14, Ms. Blair swims daily--keeping her head above the water so as not to mess up her big hairdo! To help keep her slim figure, she follows a low-carb diet.
Ms. Blair loves Chanel, Givenchy, St. Laurent, as well as designs by American Ralph Rucci. She would rather have very few clothes and have them be as wonderful as possible.

How beautiful is Ms. Blair's master bedroom in New York...with the hand-painted French curtains?
Although I won't be wearing the fabulous designer ball gowns, I do love to follow ladies who have classic style. As you can see, her style hasn't changed much since she was young. Classic style endures the test of time!
