Somewear: Photography Exhibition

Sometimes the outfit just tells me where it wants to be.  I created this look without a place in mind, but once I pieced everything together I felt like it needed to be walking around in some art exhibition somewhere previewing an up and coming photographer’s prints.  Of course, I’m positive with this look people would be previewing you instead!  You’d be the walking work of art!

What to Wear When: You’re Beginning to Look Like the Stuffed Turkey

I don’t know about you, but the holidays haven’t helped with my diet.  I won’t even get on the scale, but I’m sure I wouldn’t like what I saw.  To help me get through the next few weeks, I’m going to have to wear some stylish, yet comfortable muu muus.  I also recommend wearing distracting accessories.  Make people comment on your fab oversized necklace instead of your fat oversized belly.

• Tracy Reese, Gina Pump, $145  
• J.Crew, Bubble Necklace, $150

Somewear: Christmas Carriage Ride

I'm going on a carriage ride tomorrow night to check out all the Christmas lights in town.  It’s going to be cold, so I’ll need fur, layers, and some homemade hot chocolate.  Can't wait!

A lot of times when you go home for the holidays you run into old high school buddies.  Late night at the local bar can turn into quite the reunion, so make sure you look casual for the pub scene, but still cute incase you run into some old friends!

What to Wear When: You Don’t Want to Indulge at the Thanksgiving Office Party

It’s one thing to consume a million calories on Turkey Day, but not on all the other days leading up to it.  So, how can you resist the goodies at Monday’s office party feast?  Some would just say will power, but I suggest formfitting clothing.  It always keeps me in line.  A silk top tucked into a tight pencil skirt should keep you away from those extra helpings and second cookies, and help you keep that belly in all day long!

Orchestra Seats to RENT Off-Broadway

I’m so pumped to see one of my oldest and dearest friends perform tonight in the cast of RENT!  I’m a strong believer in dressing up for the theatre, even if it is to see a grungy rock musical set in the early 90’s.  I’m doing a slight nod to the era, but with more studs and stilettos and less real grunge.

Somewear: Roland Garros

I might not know how to speak French or play tennis, but I know how to dress you très chic for the tennis finals at the French Open.  To me, nothing is sexier than a cream monochromatic color scheme in the summertime.  In the outfit, you’ll look super sultry fanning yourself under your fedora and frames.  And who knows- perhaps you’ll catch the eye of Mr. Nadal himself!  (I mean, you are in the City of Love, after all.)
