Fall 2010 Trend: Get Glittered

Some might say my personal style is fairly conservative yet classic.  I like chic styles that will last for years to come and don’t easily give in to short lived trends.  However, like my mother, I admit to having a weakness for sparkles — yep, it’s true.

Diane von Furstenberg Dresses

There are few things in life that I love more than my dog, Scout.  My find last month in Chicago definitely made me forget about my dog for an entire afternoon: DVF, Bloomingdales, and a massive end-of summer sale!

Sex and the City 2010 Premiere

The day has finally arrived, Sex and the City 2 is here.  I could care less what the reviews say, if the outfits at the premieres are any indication, these ladies won’t disappoint!

Prada Print Collection Dresses

I love a great summer dress.  I love summer dresses at work, weddings, parties, picnics, evening strolls…I love them always! When I received an email from Vogue about Miuccia Prada’s Print Collection dresses, I was excited at the thought of wearing them for summer.  To my dismay, of course, Vogue seems to think that these [...]

I took a closer look at the Carmen Marc Valvo collection and fell in love.  All the pieces in this collection are breathtaking, especially the dresses. The three things I love most [...]

Oscar Style

Sunday night were the Oscars and nobody stole the show more than Sandra Bullock.  Her dress, purse, hair and make-up embodied everything that a woman should strive to be: classic, chic and contemporary. The simplicity of her hair and make-up drew attention to the hand-stitched embroidery of her stunning, Marchesa gown.  Her acceptance speech couldn’t [...]

I love Oprah and have been watching her show my entire life, literally.  She’s on her 24th year of the show, and I am in my 29th year of life. But what I really want, is to walk a mile in Oprah Winfrey’s shoes.  And guess what?  I can!  Oprah is auctioning her clothes, shoes [...]
