Look for Less: Brace Yourself for the Fall

By |September 11th, 2011|Look for Less, Why Did You Wear That?|

Some of our very favorite celebrity fashionistas hit the tents this week to take in the shows at Lincoln Center.  While some were wearing their summer best til the bitter end, others debuted their new fall favorites.  I love seeing the ladies bracing themselves for the cooler temperatures.  To me, fashion week is like “back to school” for the fashion elite.  Though it may seem confusing (we’re seeing spring shows in the fall- and vice versa), this is second nature to fashion week veterans.  Below are some of my favorite fall looks from our stylish celebs:

1. Rebecca Beeson Smoke Cotton Modal T-Shirt, $29.24, 2. Anthropologie Cuffed Tweed Crops, $118, 3. BCBG Max Azria Black Ponte Cropped Blazer, $143, 4. Kors by Michael Kors Divina Lace Up Bootie, $250

1. J. Crew Silk Lucinda Blouse, $98, 2. REISS Katiya Anthracite Sequin Short, $245, 3. Twelfth Street by Cynthia Vincent Arizona Faux Fur Vest, $249, 4. Rachel Zoe Suede Platform Sandal, $295, 5. Lodis Audrey Envelope Clutch, $78

1. Wyatt Navy Chiffon V-Neck Pleated Blouse, $88, 2.  Motel Ginger Casual Tailored Shorts, $76.84, 3. Rebecca Minkoff Woven Infinity Clutch, $350, 4. Madewell Bandelier Blazer, $178, 5. Islo Isabella Lorussa Boot, $275

Friday Frocks: Aw, Silky Silky Now

By |September 9th, 2011|Friday Frocks, Why Did You Wear That?|

When the summer ends and the fall winds start to blow, the skimpy sundresses and chunky espadrilles are tucked away and replaced with heavier fabrics and more sophisticated silhouettes.  From September until well into the new year, it seems we are bombarded with non stop parties, events, and holidays – kicking off with fashion week and finally ending with a midnight kiss.  That’s when a lady needs to make sure she is prepared to dress up and get down.  A long silky gown in neutrals or jewel tones is a surefire hit for any event requiring a bit more glamour than skinnies and a (faux) fur coat.  Elegant, sophisticated, and very feminine.  This is what timeless glamour is all about.

1. Ralph Lauren Collection Joelle Cross Neck Satin Gown, $2,598, 2. T by Alexander Wang Panne Long Dress, $335, 3. A.B.S. by Allen Schwartz Satin Deep V-Back Dress, $206.99, 4. Lanvin Gathered Silk Dress, $2,480, 5. Ports 1961 Cascade Back Gown, $1,350, 6. Lanvin Print Silk Satin Twill Gown, $3,895, 7. Jenni Kayne Bias Gown, $750, 8. Narcisco Rodriguez Textured Silk Satin Gown, $1,015, 9. Carmen Marc Valvo Amethyst Satin One Shoulder Gown, $499, 10. Sue Wong Beaded Inset Gown, $550

When you enter a the room wearing something as sensuous as a silky gown, you’ll have all the fellas saying, “Awwwww silky, silky now.”

Why A Little Lipgloss Never Hurts:

By |September 4th, 2011|Beauty Buzz|

Growing up, my mother always told me, “Pretty is as pretty does.” To this day I hold that as a universal truth but, even the most beautiful girl (both inside and out) could benefit from a little swipe of mascara and a smudge of lip gloss.

The key to an everyday makeup look is to look like yourself… but better. We’re all this “naturally” beautiful, right? I mean, I wake up looking like this.

Your “day face” shouldn’t take you more than five minutes to apply and conveniently enough can be achieved with just five simple products:
