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.

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 [...]

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 [...]
