Movie Night
I think it’s pretty obvious what movie, but for those of you still guessing, we’ll be eating some soul food and watching the Blues Brothers. A certain someone (*cough*cough* damian!) still hasn’t seen it. Really, I just want a chance to strut like a model for YSL, and I love those handcuff-links. brilliant! Happy Friday to you all!

Candy Cane Christmas
Who doesn’t love candy canes? Embrace the shine and wrap yourself in swirls, throw on a warm swing coat, and a black bow in your hair, grab your glitziest clutch, and hit the holiday parties head on.

Two Sunsets
Two very different looks for one sunset. The left look is more the romantic feel, with golds and a draped dress. What you’d wear when you go to the beach specifically for the sunset and a romantic moment. The right look is for when you wind up on the beach after being out all day. I left the scarf in the middle of the two looks because I think it could be used for either.

Graffiti
I love wearable graffiti, and this dress is nearly perfectly matched, I think. I picked some heavier heels to represent the larger amounts of black in the picture, and the brown beaten bag for the color of the branches in the foreground.

Holiday Party
Wear your prettiest red dress and some black heels with a little sparkle. Keep the jewelry a little toned down, and carry your gloss in a black clutch, just in case there’s someone you want to see under the mistletoe. Let Judith Ripka’s flame ring add some heat to your holidays.

Conservatory Gala
Quick, get on the board of something or other and be sure to get a gala in your calendar. Then save up all your pennies for this dress. My favorite dress ever. My “someday” dress. Make sure you keep the rest of your look very simple, with a pair of studs, and golden clutch and sandals.

Resolutions on My Mind
Any one of these bathingsuits is enough for me to start my New Years resolutions early. A good, graphic one-piece is a lady’s best friend, flattering in all the right parts. If you feel a bit more daring, try out a mono-kini, both modest and sexy. Don’t forget the sunscreen!

Safari Style
It’s a jungle out there, so pair some contrasting animal prints and show the world your wild side. A gold cuff adds some elegant luxe to your look, and a metallic clutch makes it all shine. Remember, since you’re showing a bit more skin tonight, keep it soft and smooth with some lotion.

Picnic for Two
Let’s pretend for a moment that it’s actually springtime and you’re headed to the park for a picnic date. He shows up in a nice shirt and tie and brings all the picnic essentials, and all you have to do is bring yourself. Pay a nod to the picnic theme and wear a pretty checkered dress, bright red wedges, and a smile.

Deck the Halls
We’ve got the Christmas tree, and now it’s time to decorate. You may notice I like a lot of birds and animals to be in the tree, and these are some of the best I’ve found this year. I love that little cloth owl!

A Touch of Spring in the Winter
I love the contrast between subtle, beautifully tailored pieces and bright, bold colors in this outfit. Starting with the bright heels, I thought it was best to then use some neutral colors on the rest of the outfit, and found this gorgeous dress and coat. The greys and sparkling whites in this look give it a winter’s feel, and help make the shoes stand out that much more. To finish it all...

Neutrals and Frills
Why not be beautiful today and pretend not to see all the stolen glances in your direction. I love the painting look of this dress paired with a ruffle detail trench. When you want the attention on your outfit, be sure to wear some neutral heels so as not to distract the eye. Keep the rest of your look very simple with a chunky golden bracelet and, of course, some sunglasses.

This has everything to do with fashion, and I’d recommend it to everyone with even the slightest interest in: clothing, food, beauty, weight loss, jewelry, relationships, sex, perfection, education, happiness, conversation, etc. If you have the slightest bit of interest in anything, then this probably effects you.

Farmer's Market Style
Time to head to the local farmer’s market and pick up some fresh fruit and vegetable. This calls for something loose and comfortable, with a large bag for any extra goodies. Pair a drape-y dress with some comfortable boots, and stockings to keep warm. Keep your hair down, and dress it up a little with a golden headband, and wear a statement ring for that little touch of bling. Happy...

Fun-Filled Friday
Friday night has finally arrived, and it’s time to hit the town and turn some heads! Sport some sequins, matched with a cropped vest, and some stiletto booties, and every eye will be on you. Wear minimal jewelry and let your clutch do the talking for you. To complete the look, let your hair down, and don your best fedora, especially if it has some sequins of its own. Most importantly, have...

Fanciful Friday
Start your day off pretty with some vanilla soap, and then prepare yourself for some frills. You might think plaid and flowers are all wrong, but the coupling of these two pieces lends some lovely to the kooky. While muted in color, these pieces have beauty in the details and the fact that they are so flattering on most body types. If you absolutely need more color, bring the sunglasses along...

A Colorful Thursday
Start looking forward to the weekend, and wear some bright colors today. Pair the playfulness with an all-business trench and tote, along with your trusty sunglasses, and you’re ready for work. To complete the look, tie your hair back in a loose, off-center bun. Afterwards, come home and put some cucumber pads on those tired eyes and start dreaming of the weekend.

Blue Tuesday at Work
There’s no reason you can’t look amazing while you work. Tie your hair back in a neat ponytail with the heart elastic, and throw on the classic trench for your commute to the city. It doesn’t all have to be pretty and soft though, so throw on your McQueen boots with the skull zipper, and you’re ready to kick a little a$$.

Lesson in Contrast
Let your boyfriend show you off tonight. Add a leatherette moto jacket to give the look a hard edge. You can’t wear the ceramic urchin box, obviously, but it sure is a pretty place to keep your jewelry. Can’t you just see it there, on your dressing table?

Gallery Monday
To further ignore the work week, throw on some sequins and drink some wine (white!) at the local galleries. Take a page from Rachel Zoe and keep your sunglasses with you at all times, just in case there’s a piece you don’t like. Pay attention to the weather and wear your slouch hat, and maybe even some black leggings if you’re cold.
