Winter Winter Winter

I'll admit it, there are many magical things about winter, but I always struggle when it shows up. The bitter cold of the East Coast seriously messes with my style. I don't want to leave the apartment in anything besides my huge down jacket and snow boots... with sweat-pants and ear muffs. A big fuzzy blanket would be nice too. Just to top off that awesome look.

Maybe a nice pair of red tights will help?

Happy Winter Solstice. Did you stay up to see the eclipse last night?

Sunday Best- Last Minute Shopping

The Colors of Pre-Fall

I'm really enjoying the causal elegance of 2011's Pre-Fall collections- not to mention the wonderfully saturated colors...

Thakoon, Ports 1961, Jason Wu, Oscar de la Renta

Pringle of Scotland, Diane von Furstenberg

Diane von Furstenberg, Elie Tahari, BCBG Max Azria

All lovely. But I think these two are my very favorite so far....

BCBG Max Azria, Elie Tahari

Sunday Best- Holiday Glam

Have a holiday party coming up? Fabulous! Throw on this gold satin Elizabeth and James dress and you'll stun them all. A few galm additions- like knock-out pumps by Karen Millen and a cluster of pearls from Vera Wang complete this glitzy get-up. Throw on a Top Shop cardigan to add some texture, grab your Chanel clutch and you're ready to raise your glass to holiday cheer!
