Tips, quotes and beauty advice from Marilyn Monroe



Elegance... classic & simple
Whether she was posing for fans, preparing for an on-screen entrance, or at a glitzy awards show, Marilyn Monroe always looked glamorous.
In fact, she felt that women should wear clothes that were tight enough to show you're a women, but loose enough to show you're a lady.
Great advice from perhaps the most beautiful icon of our time...


Marilyn herself was certainly not the size 0 that has come to be seen as the norm in Hollywood today.
She was gracefully curvy, and wore clothing to show her beautiful figure.
No matter what your size may be, match your selected ensemble to a pair of opera leather gloves in any size.
These gloves show the graceful contours of your arms, never disappoint, and never judge...


Beauty in all sizes; gloves for all personalities..
Marilyn Monroe, known for being one of the most beautiful women in the world, was a size 14.
As Marilyn herself used to say, "you are the beautiful one; it's society that's the ugly one."


True beauty comes in all shapes and sizes, which is why Ines Gloves has created a beautiful leather glove for all personalities and styles.
Celebrate your own uniqueness with a different glove each day!




Add a bright splash of colour to an otherwise neutral ensemble.
Celebrate your feminine grace with a vintage-looking pair o
r opt for the simple, classic, quiet elegance with a neutral-coloured pair of  gloves...




Wear red lipstick...
Marilyn Monroe consistently included red lipstick as an important component of her signature, Hollywood-glam look.
It is something so easy, with a huge impact on your head-turning ability!
However, be careful which shade of red you choose... makeup experts suggest wearing true red if you have blue eyes, orange-tinged red with light brown or green eyes, and berry red with dark brown eyes.
These tips are sure to make your lips pop!




And to top it all off, match a beautiful pair of glace gloves in a red to match your luscious lips!


Moisturize!!!
Moisturising provides much-needed hydration to the skin, creating a fresher, more radiant appearance.
Marilyn suggests applying your favorite moisturiser all over your body at least once daily.




I'm never without my hand cream, and love the feel of soft skin, especially when sliding my hands into an elegant pair of unlined leather gloves.


Love what you have...
Sadly, Marilyn Monroe did not live long enough to experience what it meant to age gracefully.
Though she claimed on numerous occasions not to have wanted to undergo plastic surgery as she matured, I feel that she would have been somewhat disappointed at the many cosmetic surgery procedures that are accessible today.

Like Marilyn, we at Ines Gloves believe that true elegance comes at any age. 
Long leather gloves can easily add a classic elegance to an ensemble, regardless of whether you are 20 or 70 years of age.
It's all in how you carry yourself.

... and never feel that you have to be 50 and look 20.
Embrace your elegance and celebrate the beauty that is you!!!
