What to Buy Now: Faux Fur Vest
Friday, September 03, 2010


faux fur vestI just received my Old Navy faux fur vest (Buy Direct) in the mail, and I can tell you I'm going to love it (especially since it was under $30.)

The vest comes in black or brown (I bought black) and it's very short. I wasn't sure I'd go for the cropped style at first, but I think it's actually pretty flattering because it's less bulk than some of the longer faux fur vests I've seen. The material is lush, although no one is going to mistake it for the real thing.

On the downside, the sizing isn't too generous. I ordered the M/L and usually wear a 10 (OK, maybe a 12 on top) and it was just right. So if you are larger than a 12, you may want to think about buying the plus size version. (Photo Credit: Old Navy.com)

Cocktail Dresses Under $200
Thursday, September 02, 2010


black lace dressAll of that red carpet fashion the other night got me in the mood for special occasion dressing.

The most versatile of all special occasion dresses -- the cocktail dress -- comes in variations from full-on beaded to low-key black jersey. Some of the most flattering and modern versions of the cocktail dress borrow heavily from the red carpet: black lace, one shoulder styling and back drama.

The black lace, one-shoulder style (left) is one of my favorite looks for upcoming parties. Find 6 more styles, all budget-friendly under $200. (Photo Credit:  Nordstrom.com)

New Minimalism: Shape of Things to Come
Friday, August 27, 2010


rachel zoeWhen Rachel Zoe shows up to an event in head-to-toe black with her hair pulled back and minimal jewelry, it's newsworthy. After all, as the world's most famous celebrity stylist (she has her own fun show on Bravo, "The Rachel Zoe Project," which I love) she espouses an infatuation of all things glam.

Most of the time when you see her she's draped in fur, long curls and boho-inspired frocks. But here she is in Louis Vuitton which -- although it is all black -- has an extreme silhouette which classifies it as the new minimalism.

I think Rachel looks 10 years younger without all that hair and jewelry and in pared-down frocks. So much so that I'm considering borrowing a page from her style book and giving something similar a spin. Thoughts? (Photo Credit: Michael Buckner/Getty Images)
