Who already has her gown for an Oscar-viewing soirée? I do! At our get-together we’re going cocktail attire, and this gown fits all the criteria. Sits comfortably? Check! Popping a seam while watching the show doesn’t count as being the life of the party:) Moves easily in close quarters? Check! Lets you comfortably lift your glass to join in a …
In honor of our USA Olympians, for Fashion Friday, I’m pouring on patriotic colors. In theory, Theory is a great way to go. My dress and jacket are both by this brand. The dress stuns solo and is a great twirler…so even if you’re not an Olympic figure skater, you can spin in style. For a pop of cobalt, I …
Apparently, the Olympic broadcast needs this disclaimer. After watching the awe-provoking lifts done by the figure skating pairs, I decided to try a few of those moves myself. I was certain that I was taking all necessary precautions by attempting the wimpy starter version…aka partner-less, on a mat. What could go wrong when the legit athletes were several feet in …
And yet, besides my dress, there’s nothing blue about it! I’m quite happy with this holiday, but I couldn’t unglue my eyes from this gown when I spotted it. I think a girl should wear something she loves on love day—regardless of the color. Whether you’re in a romantic relationship or not, I hope you enjoy the day and surround …
As I was perusing my past pictures this morning, I came across these ones from a glammed-out Topshop event. Nordstrom showcased extra merchandise – items not even sold online – packed the place with stylists and makeup artists, set up a photo-taking station like those at movie premieres, and brought in beloved NYC fashion blogger Christine Cameron, of My Style …
This Anthropologie floral dress looks like it belongs in an award-winning flower garden! So that’s exactly where I headed in it. If you’re interested in seeing this garden, and hearing the awesome story of the woman behind it, check out my last Travel Thursday post. If you have the privilege of attending the flower show, besides viewing breathtaking gardens, you can visit …
Super Bowl mania is at fever pitch, so it’s the perfect time to call in the Triplets of Boom, a secret dancing Seahawks Fan Squad! https://instagram.com/p/j2DIssCfGG/ As you can see, I’m ridiculously hyped for the game. Here are some tips for showing your team spirit regardless of who you are cheering on…but it’d better be the Seahawks 😉 Team Pride …
I was entering Nordstrom when I heard an explosion of enthusiastic screams and applause coming from a slew of eager shoppers in the shoe department. The level of excitement was similar to what I saw Zac Efron receive at his Toronto Film Festival premiere. But Zac, with his steely blue eyes, wasn’t gracing the store. The adulation was all for …
Just because most of us can’t afford to pop for a mega-money celebrity gown, doesn’t mean we can’t be similarly stunning. This week, my blog has been a Golden Globe-athon. So naturally, since it’s Fashion Friday, I went to the four corners of the world for dresses like those worn on the red carpet that cost a fraction of the …
So I get that the whole point of the Golden Globes was to honor Hollywood talent, but I’m among the many who became wrapped up in the fashions, hairstyles and makeup. The awards may have taken center stage at the ceremony, but so did the parade of elegant low buns. Presenter Margot Robbie fielded a teleprompter malfunction, but there were …
As you know, it’s the Year of the Horse, so if your budget was blown over the holidays, you can trot out your old clothes and still be on the cutting edge of style. Seven years ago, I bought this shearling-like jacket. Last weekend, I saw something similar hot off the designer’s table. So I pulled mine out of the …
While taking an evening walk with my mom, I noticed that Wolford – the fashion and hosiery shop – was having a party. The cupcakes were too enticing to pass up, so we strolled on in. The event was coming to a close, but we made friends with the product experts and a spontaneous after-party ensued. They styled me in …
…And while wearing a REALLY tight dress? My answer would have been “no” until I recently attended a party at a David Lawrence store. After enjoying hors’ devours, I decided to try on a Herve Leger gold gown, or as I describe it, the famous suck ‘em in frock. The sales associates said it would sculpt my figure. Translation—it’s tight! …
At Nordstrom’s holiday shopping party, I planned on only looking at gifts for family and friends. I wasn’t going to try on anything for myself. You can see how well that went! Topshop Bow Sweater
Apparently Marcus Wainwright and David Neville, co-founders of the cutting-edge clothing line Rag & Bone, are geniuses at both design and diplomacy. They have a knack for saying what all girls want to hear—“The woman is always right!” That’s what they told me when I met them at an event. When I asked about this season’s top looks, Marcus and …
