Somewear: Chicago (The Musical) at The Winspear Theatre

Going to see an oldie, but a goodie tonight.  Chicago’s in Dallas!  Of course, you know that I’ll be dressing up for the show- jeans just aren’t meant for the theatre.

If you’re in the Dallas area: the show is running from now until the 26th of August, so hurry before it’s gone! Tickets here!

If you aren’t in the Dallas area: go see a show, anyway!  The theatre is good for your soul.  Also, it gives you an excuse to look fabulous.  Though I’m sure if you follow STB, you already do ;)

Somewear: 5th Year Anniversary Dinner, Imago

I actually can’t believe I got married 5 years ago.  I feel like that number makes everything so official!  No better place to celebrate than at a romantic dinner in Rome. Sitting on top of the Spanish Steps overlooking the city, Imago restaurant is known for having one of the best views in town.  I can’t wait to sit down on our last night in Italy, reminisce on the past 5 years of marriage, and eat like a Roman king!  Well, you know what they say… when in Rome!!

Somewear: Firm Christmas Party

My husband’s firm’s Christmas party is this weekend and I need a little sequins number.  I mean, what are the holidays without some sparkle?  These colors combined make a dramatic statement, but they are not so dramatic that they steal focus.  (It is technically my husband’s party after all.  I just hope to be his best looking accessory!)

American Cancer Society Fundraiser on the Soho House Rooftop

My girlfriend, Mia, is attending an event for the American Cancer Society tomorrow evening, but she’ll be coming straight from work, so she needs something that’s appropriate for day and night. Besides the clutch (which she can simply just throw in a tote), this whole outfit will work seamlessly.  It’ll take her from business meetings in the office to evening cocktails by the pool. It’s sophisticated, yet sexy- just like Mia!

Somewear: Engagement Pics on Top of The High Line

My girlfriend, Katie, is getting her engagement pictures taken this week.  I like this outfit for her, because it is super feminine and classic.  You don’t want to wear something too trendy, because these photos are going on your walls for years to come.  Solids and neutrals are usually safest, and I just couldn’t resist the bride-to-be “I do” necklace- so adorable!
