Show me an open-back dress — especially in a bright solid hue — and I just can’t help myself. Loving all the easy breezy options for summer, for a warm night out on the town or a day strolling around town. Loose fitting and showing just enough skin is my preference, but there’s an abundance of cuts and colors for every excuse and occasion…
Although my body this week has been under the weather, my mind has definitely been traveling to warmer weather. My girlfriends and I are planning our next escape (Vegas? Cabo? Miami again? Oooh, Miami!) and after seeing such stunning swimwear spreads featuring the one-piece, I gotta say: I could definitely rekindle that flame, especially the deep plunge or crochet. But what do we think: too cougar, or sexy kitten?
I haven’t done an “E List” in quite a while, but what better reason than upcoming Mother’s Day? You know me though, my version is gonna be about putting the sexy in this mama’s day, both in her home and closet, with 10 ideas to take it to the next level…
With Mother’s Day coming up, I thought these photos of me and my little one in Napa modeling our coordinating Rikshaw Design kurtas were quite fitting! It was a picture perfect day at Silverado Vineyards overlooking the valley, and I’m thrilled my brother was able to snap a few shots for our first official mommy-and-me outfit post…
Happy Friday! Tomorrow I’m off with my little girl to Napa for the weekend to celebrate my dad’s birthday. (I know, I know, Miami, Hawaii, Palm Springs, and now…Napa?!) Believe me, I feel very lucky to have had so many wonderful travel opportunities this year! And planning a trip wardrobe is part of the fun, isn’t it? Here’s what I have in mind for the wee one and me…
Last Friday I got to take the afternoon off to attend the Harper’s Bazaar Coachella poolside fête at the Parker Palm Springs. Sipping white sangria, browsing adorable items in the shopBAZAAR.com cabana, and doing a little pretty people watching is not a bad way to spend an afternoon! Bonus: festival style inspiration was in full effect…
Happy Friday! A last minute decision to head out to Palm Springs today for a Harper’s Bazaar party at The Parker, and dinner at my client Workshop Kitchen + Bar! Therefore, I had to pull what I had out of my closet and no time for shopping for something shiny and new. Boo! But I knew I didn’t want to show up at my client’s restaurant looking like I stepped off the lawns, so I’m trying to be smart about it by just changing up my accessories for the evening. I’m a huge fan of the romper — always so versatile and hip! So all in all, it will go a little something like this…
I’m back from Hawaii, but not before I was able to squeeze in a beach photo shoot for a gold spike necklace giveaway from Gold & Gray! Jewelry designer and blogger friend Lily’s über stylish blog was one of my first reads and still a fave to this day. So I had to take advantage of such an ideal location for her to showcase the beauty of this simple statement piece…with a chance to win one of your very own! I paired it with an easy breezy beach look — how would you style yours?
How about a little eye candy today? Shall we?
Let’s forget the fact that I’m old enough to be his mother for a sec (a young mother, but still…) so that I can introduce you to the current boy wonder, if you haven’t already been acquainted. Despite a striking resemblance to an Italianate marble statue, Sean O’Pry originally hails from Georgia and was discovered while still in high school, just after his girlfriend dumped him before prom. His debut: opening the fall 2007 YSL show in Paris, after which he quickly became the face of Calvin Klein and Giorgio Armani (among others), was named the world’s most successful male model of 2009 by Forbes, and as of February 2013, topped the models.com list of the Top 50 international male models…

Headed back to the real world today where I’ve been working on fashion shoots for a few new clients. So this très cool idea in particular caught my eye: photography power duo Inez & Vinoodh invited 11 of their favorite models to come to their home to pose in the hottest looks off the Spring 2013 runways…
