Before we commence with the tone and pace of regular, normal, style blogging, I just wanted to take a moment to address how saddened we are to learn of the passing of legendary designer, Oscar de la Renta. He was a true gentleman, a brilliant talent – a legend that defined glamour for us all,
Hello, Gorgeous Fall!

And maybe your guy’s fab, plaid tie for some sass. Wearing: Shirt: Banana Republic. Cardi: Banana Republic (in grey). Tie: Jack Spade.
October Pink
Because October is Breast Cancer Awareness month, we’re thinking and styling Pink, today, in honor of breast cancer fighters and survivors, and, of course, to help promote awareness. These days, it seems it’s pretty rare for anyone not to know at least one person that has fought, or is currently fighting the disease, which makes
Mint + Mixed Metallics
It’s funny sometimes where you find inspiration. This outfit was inspired by a Facebook convo about gold accessories, and I suddenly wanted needed to pair a mint sweater with grey accordion pleats.

Side Slits + Joggers
Oooo, I’m kinda loving this deep, side-spilt, sleeveless, turtleneck business by Zara… such a great fall staple! For this look, I paired it with some joggers, but this baby can take on leathah, mini, midi skirts, jeans – you name it – in a fab way. I haven’t owned a sleeveless sweater in a long

Back to Reality + the 90s: The Denim Skirt is Backkk
What a change from NYC lights, taxi cabs, catwalks, and gorgeous dinners every night! I’ll take it, though; it’s always good to be home, all nestled in with my li’l chicks, and ready for fall. So, not only did I go back home, I seemed to have gone all the way back to the 90s. The denim

We just received our press credentials this week, and could not possibly be more thrilled!! Look out New York!! Deep breath. In everyday news, here is my casual, office/meeting look this
Trending: It's All the Rave (Print)
So, electric “rave-inspired” prints are currently trending, and are expected to be a major trend this fall. But before we get into all that, I, personally, want to make something really clear about this trend business. I could honestly care less if what I’m wearing is “on trend,” or not; I’m too old, too busy
