I was especially excited to take these fashion pictures for a couple of reasons. First, I got to wear two of my favorite brands… Diane von Furstenberg and Valentino. DVF made the flattering sheath. Valentino crafted the heels with his ever-popular rock studs. And the matching rainbow clutch! Second, I got to try out my new camera for the first …
Whenever I receive a Wolford message inviting me to a fashion party – complete with tantalizing food and even more tantalizing styles – how can I say no? When this one arrived, I had another commitment that night but made sure to stop by and slip in some couture fun. Etrid and Ylyana are just so gorgeous and their fashion …
That would have to be Paddington…you know, the adorable bear who is enamored with marmalade. He captured my heart before I could even walk:) I grew up reading his books. When the movie came out, I didn’t care that it was slated for children; I lined up right along with them. And I found that all ages were filing in …
This has been Jessie J week on my blog. After collaborating with a celebrity makeup artist to show you how to recreate her Burnin’ Up face, and posting a video teaching you a dance to her song, I just had to focus on this sexy lady’s attire for Fashion Friday.

I can’t think of a Downton fan who wouldn’t love to join the cast at the castle dressed in elegant period clothing. Well, now you almost can. I attended a Downton Abbey trunk show and learned how. The event was hosted by Andover, who made the above Lord and Lady Grantham quilt. It is the only company authorized by the …
Yesterday, for Beauty Trend Tuesday, I covered Emily’s sleek hairstyle at the Dubai film festival promoting Into the Woods. Today is all about her exquisite emerald Lanvin gown. The Hollywood Reporter wrote this description of Into the Woods… “As enchanting a screen version as the show’s fans could desire.” Enchanting also describes Emily’s look. After seeing her picture, I went …
There are some things a girl first does as a child at girls’ camp that she never wants to stop doing. One of those is relaxing around the bonfire at night, roasting marshmallows and making s’mores. And although I’m the first to say that I adore dressing up, there are also times when I want to pretend I’m back in …
It’s no secret that I support the Seahawks. If your favorite team is in the Super Bowl playoffs and you want to show your pride by getting their shirt, you know that the options are pretty picked over by now. When I went shopping the other day, there were no Seahawks smalls or mediums left. But I didn’t let that …
The holidays may be over, but our Winter Wonderland isn’t gone. Twinkle lights are still on the trees and there are still parties to attend. I’m the first to admit to being a style lover. Party style is one of my favorites. Finding an outfit for a soirée adds to the event’s fun. So today I’m showing you my latest, …
Seamlessly navigating high profiles and high fashion. That’s Ivanka Trump. I was honored to meet this savvy businesswoman encased in natural beauty. Ivanka leads the Trump Organization through some of its most important deals while managing her own fashion-and-jewelry house and her young family. In recent months, I’ve become a fan of her shoes. They’re reasonably priced even though they …
That’s New Year’s Eve. I realize that we live in a world filled with serious, unanswered questions – What will 2015 bring? Will we find love? Hold onto love? Achieve career success? Have meaningful experiences? – But I believe that New Year’s Eve is a time to free ourselves from all them and just have fun! That’s what I intent …

Today is Meeting Men Monday, and I can’t think of a better way to meet men than on the dance floor. Over the weekend, I posted this choreography tutorial for Can’t …
Isn’t over yet! We always hear about the Ugly Christmas Sweater parties. Well, I’m all for throwing a Pretty Christmas Sweater party. And I’m always on the hunt for cute holiday fashions. I spied this sweater in a store window a few years back. Right now, Wildfox is a go-to for adorable season-appropriate outfits. Actually, I’ve found more holiday options …
For this season’s celebrations, in my opinion, you can’t choose a better venue than Seattle’s Fairmont Olympic Hotel. I’m always excited to go there. And I can always count on mingling with friendly people in beautiful surroundings, enjoying great food and listening to the live music. As you enter the Fairmont, you’re greeted by a large, cozy fireplace, which is …
I’ve been invited to a black tie charity gala. And since it’s not every weekend that a girl gets to wear a floor-length gown for a good cause, I tried on a variety of dress styles.
