New Year’s Eve Glam!

New Year’s Eve is all about the glamour! And by glamour I mean a sequined, sparkly glittery outfit topped with a glass of champagne. However, no matter what you’re wearing remember first and foremost to party like it’s 1999, but keep it classy.

New Year's Dress

This glamourous golden look, started with a fab find at Bloomingdale’s. On a whim I picked up this Aqua Gold Metallic Knit Fit & Flare Dress for under $40 and paired it with a French Connection clutch I had decorated with my blog name at New York Fashion Week, my favorite Star Power by Spanx High Waist Shaping Tights (very slimming), my Kendra Scott Naomi Two Finger Ring Adjustable Ring and my Grandmother’s vintage jewelry. To keep up the glam I put on Elizabeth Arden Beautiful Color Moisturizing Lipstick and painted my nails with CND Vinylux Grommet.

A Lovely Morning at Lucky Magazine and Lord & Taylor’s Shop. Eat. Blog. Breakfast


I’ve never been a morning person, but the allure of a Lord & Taylor breakfast shopping spree with Lucky Magazine is enough to get any socialite out of bed before noon. This morning, I began New York Fashion Week with a “Fashion’s Morning In” so to speak at the Lord & Taylor on 424 Fifth Ave. Before the store had even opened its doors to the public, the fashion elite and I were on the second floor drinking coffee and eating pastries discussing shopping strategies with Suze Yalof Schwartz, Lord & Taylor’s Fashion Editor at Large previously the Executive Fashion Editor at Large of Glamour Magazine.

Suze has some great suggestions as to what is in for fall including 3 key fall trends: Shine (sparkles and sequins), Colorblocking, and Bright Colored Jeans. All of which are available this season at Lord & Taylor. For those of you who have trouble getting dressed in the early hours of the morning, she suggests you stock up on dresses to pair with a great bag and a great pair of shoes. That way it is less to think about in the morning. Great advice considering that the earlier I have to wake up, the less fashionable I appear. Many thanks to Lucky Magazine and Lord & Taylor for the invite. I couldn’t think of a better way to begin my Fashion Week.

Early this morning over coffee, Suze Yalof Schwartz taught us how to do the perfect skinny pose, a technique taught to her by supermodel Cindy Crawford.  It’s quite simple really.  You turn your body all the way to the side then turn your front foot toward the camera and your body three quarters of the way to the front so all of your face, but only half of your body is in view of the camera.  Don’t Suze and I look skinny?

Polo Ralph Lauren and Lord & Taylor Fight Breast Cancer

LAUREN PINK, a new line of sportswear and home products by Polo Ralph Lauren sold exclusively at Lord & Taylor, with a pre-party for some of NYC’s finest bloggers at their Fifth Ave. store.  A portion of the proceeds from the LAUREN PINK line will go to fight breast cancer. I simply can’t get enough of programs that combine charity with fashion.  In a way, they really go hand-in-hand.  While your style speaks volumes about your personality, the charities that you support are at the essence of your character. At the risk of sounding corny, the LAUREN PINK line of plush hoodies, sweaters, and blankets will bring warmth and comfort in more ways than one.  On top of introducing the LAUREN PINK line, Lord & Taylor donated $5 to the Pink Pony Fund for everyone who showed up to the event wearing pink, they donated another $5 for everyone who checked in on FourSquare (I need to get on that,) and yet another $5 for everyone who completed the World of Lauren trivia game.  Hats off to Polo Ralph Lauren and Lord & Taylor for supporting this cause in such a creative way!

Bobbi Brown at Lord & Taylor

Fashion Week may be over, but the fun has just begun. Lord and Taylor‘s new state of the art cosmetics department has finally opened!  Makeup maven Bobbi Brown and her beauty team will be making an appearance at Lord and Taylor on Fifth Ave. Thursday September 23.  Bobbi will be in the store signing copies of her new book Beauty Rules from noon to 2 p.m.  Her beauty team will be there until 7 p.m. giving makeovers and consultations.  Please make an appointment with the Bobbi Brown counter before arriving.
