Friday Favorites – Festival de Cannes

Friday Favorites – Festival de Cannes

The 65th Cannes Film Festival got underway this week. The week-long event brings together celebrities and stars of the silver from all over the world, which in turn, means we get a whole lotta glamour! Maybe it’s because it’s the French Riviera. Maybe it’s because it’s invite only and the prestige of it all. Whatever the reason the Cannes red carpet always delivers, so today’s Friday Favorites are my favorite looks from day 1 and 2. (Do not fret. I plan on tracking the entire week. This is just the beginning). I tried to write little something about each woman and/or dress,...

Friends of Friends – Cardigan Junkie & Be My Guest

Today is a bit of a cheat day (like – if this blog was a diet, this post would be a brownie). I’m piggy backing off a really cool series fellow blogger, Haley, is doing over on her blog – Cardigan Junkie. Haley, the lucky girl, is off living la dolce vita in Italy....

Skirting Around

Skirting Around

I don’t know how it was where you live, but yesterday in the DMV was awfully humid. It was the kind of day that comes along every spring that prompts me to ponder – should I just get ready in the gym at the office rather than showering before I leave the house? I...

Sounding Off – If It Doesn’t Fit

Sounding Off – If It Doesn’t Fit

I’ve been neglecting my “sounding off” series for the last few weeks, but today I’m back with a vengeance. I try to keep things light and positive on the blog, but today, I’m going to rant a bit – I do not why people wear clothes that simply do. not. fit!! Let me start...

Friday Favorites – Splurges

Friday Favorites – Splurges

It’s Friday! Yay, yay, yaaaaaay!! You know what I like as much as Fridays? Splurging on things I don’t really need, but really, really want. I’m a firm believer in retail therapy. You know that thing when you are stressed out, sad, anxious or any other sad-face-feeling and you buy stuff? Most of my...

More Work Wear – Sleeveless Blazers

More Work Wear – Sleeveless Blazers

I noticed I’ve been on a bit of a “what to wear to work” kick recently (e.g. intern post & pants post). I’m pretty sure this is in large part because I’m back in an office setting and I have to figure out of what to wear to work myself.  Anyway, you’re getting another ideas...

What a Riot!

What a Riot!

This past Saturday, my friend, Tracy V., and I had plans to work out together. This plan was upended by about 11am and replaced with brunch, helping her accessorize her dress for the wedding we’re going to this Saturday and wine. Lots of wine! A Wine Riot, if you will. Saturday was the Second...

Pretty (Bright) Pants

Pretty (Bright) Pants

I’m constantly preaching about wearing color and I wanted to show you that I put my money where my mouth is, or I put my pants where, er, uh ok so that doesn’t really work. The point is, I practice what I preach. Check it out. That’s me in the pictures below. You’re just...

Luxe Lifestyle: Behind the Scenes of NOVA Fashion Week

Happy Monday! I don’t know about you, but I had a crazy-busy weekend. I have lots to share with you all this week, so I guess I should get to it. Friday night I attended Luxe Lifestyle’s “Behind the Scenes of NOVA Fashion Week” at the Artisphere in Rosslyn.  Sometimes it feels like for-eh-vur between...

Friday Favorites – Local Shops

Friday Favorites – Local Shops

I’m back with another Friday Favorites and today, we’re going for locale fare – my favorite local boutiques. Sorry to those of you not in the DMV, but even if you can’t check out these local boutiques, take some time to check out local shops in your town/city/hamlet. One, you will be a supporting...

HSN Exploration

HSN Exploration

I must admit, for the most part, when I think of the Home Shopping Network, I think of insomniacs flipping through the channels late at night or little old ladies buying porcelain dolls, commemorative coins, & crystalline animals. Recently, however, a friend of mine told me about an article she read about HSN’s fashion renaissance (rejuvenation??)...

Summer Intern Attire 101

Summer Intern Attire 101

I know most of my readers are beyond their summer intern years, but I’m writing this post as sort of a PSA in case you are a (or know a) young woman heading off to the corporate/political/business world for a summer position. Now some of you might be saying is this really necessary, Emily?...

Take-Two Tuesday

Take-Two Tuesday

Hey all, so I realize this is a repeat for some of you, but between a few technical difficulties (my computer hates me) and sheer exhaustion from my weekend exertions, well…I hope you understand. This is one of my favorite series I’ve done and others seem to like it too. Maybe it’s new to...

This City Is My City

This City Is My City

I just got back from a weekend road trip to Cleveland for my friends’ wedding. Funny thing – while the bride and groom are D.C. friends, and everyone I knew at the wedding lives in DC/Virginia, most (including the groom) are from and/or went to school in Ohio (as my friend Megan says, there’s nothing people from Ohio like...
