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! I couldn’t believe my dumbluck when I beheld a black silk, DVF dress in my size, [...]

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 [...]

Frugal Friday: One Shoulder Dress

I love receiving emails from Neiman Marcus and, if you also subscribe, this dress is probably familiar (it arrived at 5:30am this morning!). 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 [...]
