Table for 15 Please!

I recently had the pleasure of dinning at The Four Seasons in New York City, the epitome of the Manhattan restaurant scene. The restaurant is beautiful, the menu is to die for and I can get super glam for the night. As all ladies know, there is a lot of prep that goes into choosing the perfect outfit for any event. I took pictures and sent them to friends, tried on countless looks & styles, little black dresses, sequin tops and furs before deciding I had gotten it right. I went with a long sleeve, patterned dress from Francesca's the type that fits so perfectly you feel as though it was made just for you.  Being much older than I was during my list visit to The Four Seasons I was able to appreciate all aspects of the experience....

Dayglow "The World's Largest Paint Party"

Since it's debut in 2006 Dayglow has taken the nation by storm.

Being a resident of suburbia doesn't mean shopping only in department stores or mirroring "Bree Van De Kamp".  When city-sleek hits the suburban streets it tends to turn some heads. It is easy to put together a fashionable ensemble when you are surrounded by designer boutiques on every block, but when the seasons latest and greatest are not just around the corner creativity goes a long way. Cities are filled with people using fashion to make a statement, but less competition means more recognition when you are the neighborhood's...

Cut & Paste

It looks like cut-outs aren't just for art class. This seasons designers are giving us ways to show some skin in unexpected places. A strategically placed slit can make an outfit super sexy, but revealing too much can take trendy to trashy very quickly. I love this style, especially leaving openings around the waist. Olivia Wilde at Vogue's Winners Take           Leighton Meester in Michael Kors All Party- I love this twist on the LBD                                     Very sliming, slightly dominatrix                    Halston Fall 2011        ...
