Nifty Shades of Grey

Where to Wear: Nifty Shades of Grey
I’m predicting this best-seller from E.L. James will bring about a new kind of life to the color grey similar to what the movie “Sideways” did for Pinot Noir wines everywhere.  Of course, I haven’t actually read the book, but I’m assuming it’s about a fashion designers obsession with monochromatic colors.  No?

Somewear: A.C. Milan Football Match

Apparently this game is on my husband’s bucket list.  Which means by default it has been added onto mine!  We’ll be attending the last game of the season today, so I’m sure the crowds will be out (all 80,018 of them which is what the stadium seats).  Of course, I’ll be donning the appropriate red and black colors and cheering loudly for my new fave European team, A.C. Milan! See ya on the pitch!

Somewear: Dinner at Salt House in San Francisco

My girlfriend’s flying to San Fran tomorrow from NY.  She wants to fit in with Cali’s cool laid back vibe, but still look chic for a dinner out on the town.  I suggested a breezy blouse and skinny jeans (a go-to for me when I want to look effortless, but put together).  She should go low key on the jewelry- nothing too glitzy.  And wedge booties always look adorable, but not too done up!  Now, I’ve never been to Salt House, but I checked out the menu.  Could someone try the Veal Sweetbreads and report back to me?  Thanks!

What to Wear When: You’re Dashing Around the City
I’m back in NY for work for a few days for Lucky Magazine’s annual shopping event, Lucky Shops!  It’s essentially a three day event where designers sell their fall duds at huge discounted prices!  If any of you are in the city I suggest you stop by for some great deals!  In preparation for this weekend’s festivities, I’ll be do some crazy running around: Uptown, Downtown, East Side, West Side!  So, my perfect wardrobe for today: layers, comfy clothes, sturdy boots, and a huge carry-all bag.  I’m tired just thinking about it!

What to Wear When: Commuting in the Rain

We’ve all done it.  When we see it pouring rain outside, we just give up on any idea of looking cute, but it is achievable, if you just arm yourself with the right fashion tools.  It’s key to have a good looking pair of rain boots and an umbrella that doesn’t suck.  I love this trench, because it’s outerwear that looks like "inner-wear".  Plus, unlike so many trench coats out there, it doesn’t leave you looking like you're signing up to join the militia; it is very feminine and flattering.  Also, when raining, just embrace the fact that your hair won’t look exactly right; wear a loose and messy braid with a cute hair accessory.  See- commuting in the rain can be fun!
