I’ve road-tested all these Stila lip stains and I can attest that once you put them on, they aren’t going anywhere! This is what I wore for the romantic scene on the piano in But I Do. Stila lip stains come in a variety of colors and are also great to wear for dance performances. From cheering for Vanderbilt, I …
Here’s another Pillow Talk video! This nightingale wants to know if she should try to tame a player. Any thoughts?
In keeping with this week’s bargain theme, an ultimate wardrobe money-saver and travel tip is to collect pieces that can be worn different ways to create many looks. I took a pair of 7 for All Mankind jeans on a trip together with a basic top and tailored jacket (similar). Then I used this as my base to create three …
Today is all about saving money when traveling without forgoing favorite perks. But before we jump into that, I want to give a shout-out to the blogger from The Concrete Cottage. Jeannine is a nurse, mom, and creative, resourceful lady. When she found this discarded suitcase it was all beaten up and covered in duck tape. She cleaned and painted …
…in your own closet! Sometimes a girl wants a new look, but her budget doesn’t call for a shopping spree. Old pieces can feel fresh if you give them a creative recombination. I took a jeans jacket that I’ve owned for a decade…okay, not quite, but it feels that way…and paired it with one of my prime going-out-dancing pinched tops. …
Julep Beauty is a nouveau nail polish, skin care and makeup company moving like a bullet train. Last year alone, this seven-year-old introduced more than 300 new products, all catering to customer requests. I got to know Jane Park, the Julep mastermind, at a Nordstrom event. She chose this Zelda polish for me, explaining that it went with my coloring. …
Thoughtful, fun, interesting… Those are date must-haves. But guys, a girl who solely bases your relationship potential on her x-ray of your bank account isn’t someone worth taking out. Meeting Men Monday is usually Women’s World. But I’ve been receiving emails from men lately expressing how inadequate they feel in the courtship competition when they don’t have the funds to …
Strolling through a slough last Monday only increased my desire to go back. I don’t know what it is about me, but lately whenever I go for a walk it starts to rain…and then it starts to pour. Fortunately, I was already wearing my Hunter boots. This time I got soaked – as you can probably see from my hair …
A little less than two years ago, a fascinating girl named Cristin contacted me saying that she had read my book, The Single Girl’s Guide to Meeting European Men, and it inspired her to travel. We became insta-friends as she embarked on a journey that took her to about 32 countries and enticed her to live for awhile in five. …
As Mother’s Day approaches, I want to honor all moms, but especially mine. She isn’t just SuperMom, in my mind she’s SuperWoman! In an age when there weren’t many women attorneys, she became a trial lawyer and blazed the trail for other strong, powerful women. She was the lead trial counsel for Fortune 500 companies with complex cases and for …
Blake doesn’t have to be the only bohemian bombshell. You can be one too! In this short video, I teamed up with Janelle Irvine, Braid Goddess and hair stylist at Mollie Michelle salon, to show you how. The products Janelle used to create this style were all from Kérastase. This is the main line used in Mollie Michelle, because it is …
For this Ann Taylor photo shoot, I took a rainy stroll along a slough with my dad, who manned the camera. Since sloughs are Earth’s supermarkets, we turned off our phones and absorbed the scenery. There’s something so classic about communing with nature where the only sounds are the breeze blowing through the leaves and the rustling of animals. And …
That would be me! As soon as the spring sun peeped out, I was ready to unveil vibrant colors so I made a trip to GUESS. This awesome pink eyelet top is sass galore with a feminine flair. It pops when paired with a dark-navy jean. And who could pass up this bag? It’s large enough to hide all sorts …

Festivities begin today, May 1st, and the black tie events commence tomorrow evening. Just to give you a sample, there’s Barnstable Brown Gala, …
Last weekend, I was honored to meet Pierre Dulaine, four-time ballroom dancing world champion. Pierre’s passion is creating “Dancing Classrooms” in public schools, where troubled youth learn to overcome hostility and insecurity through dance. This was the theme of the film, Take the Lead, with Antonio Banderas portraying Pierre. Together with Pierre, I attended the Northwest premiere of another film …
