Sentimental Find: Loquet

Posted on May 8, 2014 | Leave a comment

I wear my heart on my sleeve. But, this new find, Loquet, would let me wear it around my neck, too. I’ve always been a fan of a heart-imbued jewelry, it’s my girly side shining through. But since becoming a mom, I am even more delighted by sweet initial and personalized jewelry.

The bespoke collection from Loquet allows the wearer to customize their keepsake with different charms, trinkets and sweet letters or numbers, and because the “locket” can open, you can continue to add to it.

The website is great and it website allows you to play around and design (and redesign your own!) or peruse the gallery if inspiration is needed.

What a great gift to mark a special moment in your life!

On Monday, First Lady Michelle Obama recognized First Lady (of American fashion) Anna Wintour at the ribbon cutting ceremony of the newly renovated and renamed Anna Wintour Costume Center at the Metropolitan Museum of Art.

The 2014 Met Ball, or the Event where the Red Carpet is the Event

Posted on May 6, 2014 | Leave a comment

You know how for most (not me, but most) people the Oscars is the “main event” and the red carpet telecast is the “pre-show”? The Met Ball is the opposite. The Red Carpet is the main event and the “afterparty” is a beautiful gala inside a resplendent Metropolitan Museum of Art.

The annual Costume Institute gala has a theme and honoree and this year it was classic evening wear in honor of British-born couturier Charles James, who revolutionized American couture, and determined by British-born editor Anna Wintour, who revolutionized American Vogue, fashion and trend.

Here are the superlatives of the night:

Best Model: Karolina Kurkova in Marchesa

Best Texture: Lily Allen in Chanel

Most Head-Turning: Sarah Silverman in Zac Posen

Most Seemingly True to Self: Maggie Gyllenhaal in Valentino

Best Crop Top/Most Appropriately Youthful: Emma Stone in Thakoon

Best Brand Positioning: Victoria Beckham, own design

Most Improved: Kim Kardashian in Lanvin

Best “I’m Still the Biggest Star on this Carpet” Moment: Beyonce and Jay-Z in Givenchy

A little lippy…

Posted on March 4, 2014 | Leave a comment

I’m a gloss girl. Call me “chicken” for avoiding the chic stain of merlot, but to finish off the makeup and food analogy, chicken and red wine aren’t really a perfect match anyway.

I’ve thought about trying it, going all Snow White with my makeup inspiration, but would it work?

Let’s turn to the beautiful Margot Robbie for guidance… Exhibit A, Vanity Fair Red Carpet and Exhibit B, Academy Awards Red Carpet. Same night, same hair, same clothing color. Striking on the right, for sure, but I think she’s radiant on the left.

What do you think? And, more importantly, would you kiss this trend?

Lust List: Parker New York

Posted on January 30, 2014 | Leave a comment

Designed in New York for the cool, easy-going, downtown girl, Parker New York has caught my eye for their resort collection. Featuring sweet dresses, silky separates and unique prints, the collection feels uniquely sourced from special, “in-the-know” boutiques.

The great thing about these pieces is that they’re real life ready while still feeling special and interchangeable within an edited wardrobe. They could go from work to play, from French martinis to french toast.

Shop the pieces from the Parker 2014 Resort Collection.

Lust List: Torn by Ronny Kobo

Bold prints, curves for days, rich knits – a look that’s on trend and affordably attainable? Sign me up.

Torn by Ronny Kobo has been turning out “it-girl” favorite pieces for a few years but it’s the latest collection that’s gotten my attention for its ability to stop traffic. The pieces are on trend with Kim Kardashian’s latest look and the stretch knit proves that sweater weather can mean va-va-voom.

Shop the pieces from the Torn Cruise 2014 collection.
