This is Maureen. I refer to her often on this blog, so when she agreed to let me take pictures of her I was thrilled. Maureen is one of those eternally beautiful inside-and-out individuals. Her two most endearing qualities are her loyalty and kindness. If you have a worry, a stress, a jubilation, or just a quirky fact, share it with Maureen. She will embrace it and cherish it no matter what. She’s like a vault that way. I’ve known Maureen since our Venezuela days, and the things she remembers astound me. That was over 10 years ago, but that’s the mark of her loyalty to me. The other remarkable quality of Maureen is her beauty. She has amazing smiling, sparkly eyes. They are smiling even if she isn’t. As a wise soul, her eyes are her celebration. I am very excited to share these pictures of my beautiful friend. Maureen is quite humble, so allowing me to share these (gorgeous) pictures of her and her style is a real endeavour on her part. Thank you Maureen. You’re so beautiful to me inside and out!
This necklace is so sweet. A week ago we met up on the boardwalk of Stanley to take pictures of each other and then go out for dinner. I kept starting at the necklace; it looked familiar, but I couldn’t quite place it. Then…revelation! I made this necklace for Maureen some 10+ earlier! I love life and its circles! It always amazes me. Thank you for your friendship Maureen!
For this shoot, Maureen, who is always classy, went for a more casual, boho look. Look closely and you’ll see how put together she is. To shop Maureen’s look I’ve made a gallery for you from Shopcade.
Maureen, you haven’t changed a bit! Beautiful as always!
You got it Kari! Forever beautiful that Maureen! Love, Ann
Kari! It made my day to read your kind works and see your sweet name on this blog. Hope you are keeping well.
Exactly as I remember….elegant and beautifully put together Maureen. I am impressed that Annie could lure you to a fashion shoot. I know your fashonista alter-ego would have loved it Maureen!
So lovely to see you….loving the green! It’s your colour Maureen!
Jane, I think she’ll let me do it again!! We had such fun!! Hey, maybe your turn next Thursday…? Love, Annie
Jane – Thank you, thank you, thank you. I keep feeling like you are right around the corner because of Ann being here in HK and making references to you all the time and because of your replying to this blog so often. Promise to let Ann feature you, you lovely fashionista with the uber-cool shoes, because getting involved in Ann’s creative endeavors makes you feel like a teenager. I appreciate your
How great to see Maureen. What a perfect place for it too. I remember always admiring how put together Maureen was when we were all at ECA. Still looks amazing. Thanks for this post, Annie.
To this day she is always put together Sheila! Every day I love seeing her classy style! A x
Sheila! It was such a grand surprise to read you kind comment. Thank you! Hope you are well and enjoying life and being your artsy-bohemian self.
Dear Ann (& Maureen),
While Skyping with Hope today she reminded me of your site, which she looks at–before it wouldn’t open but did today. I’ve spent some time exploring it. What fun! I admire your creativity and energy, Ann. And, Maureen, your photos, like you, are beautiful!
Kathy
Yay Kathy! I’m so glad you came by for a Kremb de la Kremb visit! I’ve really been embracing this whole fashion blogger thing. I enjoy it a ton. I feel more creative than I have in years which makes me really happy. I love it when Maureen lets me post her on this site. She’s so beautiful–in and out! Come again:D I hope we get to see you before the year is out. Otherwise it may be a while while you are in DR. Thinking of you fondly. Love, Ann
