The latest film from legendary documentarian Albert Maysles (“Grey Gardens” and “Gimme Shelter”) IRIS pairs the late filmmaker (who passed away on March 5) with Iris Apfel, the quick-witted, flamboyantly dressed 93-year-old style maven who has had an outsized presence on the New York fashion scene for decades.
More than a fashion film, the documentary is a story about creativity and how a soaring free spirit continues to inspire. IRIS portrays a singular woman whose enthusiasm for fashion, art and people are life’s sustenance and reminds us that dressing, and indeed life, is nothing but an experiment. Despite the abundance of glamour in her current life, she continues to embrace the values and work ethic established during a middle-class Queens upbringing during the Great Depression. “I feel lucky to be working. If you’re lucky enough to do something you love, everything else follows.” The perfect WIFE Movie Night to bring out your inner fashionista. Currently in select theaters now.

We can’t stop watching Netflix’s hilarious new show “Grace and Frankie.” By far our pick for sleeper hit TV show of the Summer! Two married women (Jane Fonda and Lily Tomlin) in their 60’s are shocked when they find out that their husbands are leaving them, but even more shocked out to find the reason why; they are gay and in love with each other! Now Grace and Frankie have to figure out how to deal with their lives and how to move on in this original comedy series from Netflix. Perfect for THE WIFE™ to get hooked on while the kids are away at sleep away camp. – THE WIFE™

We are hooked on the concept that Fleurish has introduced to the California WIFE. A wonderous DIY Flower Bar in the heart of Brentwood and just next door to Alfred Cafe (perhaps a little caffeine pick me up before your flower arranging class?) THE WIFE™ literally becomes a “Fleurist” by picking out her own flowers from the on site flower fridge, then can customize her own arrangement under the curated guidance of one of Fluerish’s floral experts (Just incase you hit snag trying to arrange your pink peonies).
Not feeling creative, sign up for an inspiring class or choose from one of their already designed “FleurKits” and arrange it yourself. Each ‘FleurKit’ comes with a vase, flowers, specialty trimmings, and a custom box for easy transport. And if you’re just plain lazy…. scope up a pre made arrangement on the fly. Fleurish has a little some thing for every WIFE.
