I have a serious style crush on Miroslava Duma, a Russian freelance writer, editor at Harper’s Bazaar and mom.

2011 Emmys: Best Dressed

Kerry Washington. The photo just doesn’t do it justice. On camera, on the Emmy stage, she looked ravishing in this Zuhair Murad ensemble.

What I Wore: The Tropics

(what i wore: skirt & blouse – vintage, earrings – kate spade, pumps – forever21, lipstick – nars roman holiday)
Wednesday was so dreary. I pulled out the brightest pink skirt (it has a matching top!) and my day immediately brightened. 

Style Icon: Michelle Pfeiffer in Scarface

Elvira Hancock exudes sexy with totally sleek, shiny hair, cat-eye sunglasses, slinky evening dresses & cigarettes. Michelle Pfeiffer managed to perfect the look of the beautiful & bored love interest of drug lord, Tony Montana.

Honeymoon Edition: Getting there

We showed up to the airport (I wore a bowtie) and we were so excited for our adventure to commence. But, we realized almost immediately that our flight was delayed – causing us to miss our connection to Rome. We thought the airline would be happy to help the honeymooners….no such luck. After being told they couldn’t get us out until the next evening – and a little hysterical crying – we were re-booked on a different airline by our fairy godmother/travel agent.

After standby to Chicago > Paris > Rome, then a four hour drive to the Amalfi coast, it was worth it.

These were taken on the way to Positano. More to come!

MUCH ADO ABOUT EVERYTHING

I’m finally back to posting after the wedding/honeymoon extravaganza! I wanted to share a few pictures and will hopefully have much more soon!

The Wedding!

Our first meal on the wedding day: chili dogs

What I Wore: The Blues

(what i wore: dress – vintage from cheap thrills, heels – bakers, brooch – vintage, earrings – birthday gift)
Yesterday I wore one of  those dresses that make you almost giddy and you kindof wish you could wear it everyday. I call them “cartoon dresses” because they become contenders for what you would want to be wearing if you were animated and forced by the confines of some illustrated sitcom to wear the same thing everyday (sorry if I sound a little crazy, I’m getting married in 10 days!).
I love it so much but it is vintage and slightly fragile so shapewear must be worn in the event that a button flies, the last thing I need is a boob slip at work…



What I Wore: Bun + Shift


 (what i wore: shift – asos, heels – bcbg, – cuff/ring/earrings – unknown, ha)

I loved the outfit I wore yesterday. I really felt feminine and ladylike.  This is the kind of look I prefer: a shift, a huge bun, strappy shoes. I was extremely proud of my bun. Would you believe I didn’t know how to tease it this time last year? I have to share that I sent a pic of my hair to Erika Bearman (OscarPRGirl) and she tweeted back “it’s major” totally made my day…

What I Wore: Golden Girl



(what i wore: dress/belt/necklace – vintage, heels – gianni bini, earrings – kate spade, rings – forever21)
This dress is one of my favorite thrift store finds. It sortof looks brocade and is the nicest shade of marigold. Without a belt it’s a sack so a cinched waist takes it to the next level.
