This past weekend, celebs hit up the nation’s capital for the annual White House Correspondents’ Association Dinner at the Washington Hilton. Celebs like Kerry Washington (in Wes Gordon) and Kate Walsh (in Carolina Herrera) stunned in graphic black and white gowns, while others like Amy Poehler, Carol Alt and Gabrielle Douglas (in David Meister) sparkled and shined in metallic and beaded evening dresses. Claire Danes (in Prada), Gayle King and others added a Spring-y touch with pastel colored and bright hued gowns. Check out the looks in the slideshow below and let us know which were...  Read More..

I love my skinny jeans but sometimes a girl just needs a break. And boyfriend jeans are the next best thing. The best ones are slouchy and look lived in, but I found a great pair at H&M, which is a sort of skinny/boyfriend hybrid, aka my two faves in one. Paired with a cropped blazer, edgy tank and some heels I’ve been dying to wear for any reason, I was good to go!

What I’m wearing: Joie tank | Vince Camuto ‘Mirror Rainbow’ Maxi Skirt | Balenciaga bag | Dolce Vita wedges | Prada Baroque sunglasses This past weekend I hit up the 8th annual AfroPunk Festival in Brookyln. The two-day, FREE(!) event was held at Commodore Barry Park in Brooklyn, and was some of the most fun I’ve had this summer. Merging the best in Afro/punk/pop/soul music, performers like Erykah Badu, Gym Class Heroes, Janelle Monae, Das Racist, Alice Smith and more, graced the stages, while skaters and BMX-ers did their thing on custom built ramps. There were food trucks...  Read More..

Try as we might, some of us can’t ever seem to throw on mismatched looks without looking, well, mismatched. Of course supermodel Miranda Kerr does it perfectly, and so effortlessly. The model/mom was spotted in NYC with her son Flynn, wearing a coral silk dress by A.L.C. The dress features a triangular keyhole neckline, smocked elastic waist and a front slit. She styled the dress with cat eye sunglasses, Alexander Wang‘s ‘Lia’ Messenger Bag in Grey Velvet and printed BALENCIAGA Platform sandals from the Spring 2011 collection. These are pieces we would never dream of pairing...  Read More..

So, these photos weren’t taken on my birthday, which is today, but rather on Sunday when my husband surprised me with a birthday picnic in Central Park! Secretly I had a feeling that’s what he was planning – I had no clues but we’ve been together for so long that we know each other and each other’s plans very well! So I dressed accordingly. An airy maxi dress was perfect for the day – it was sunny and hot out (but pleasant) and the cutout sides and back gave some nice added ventilation. And the material is soft and doesn’t wrinkle easy so it was perfect...  Read More..

My go-to items when I want to get dressed quickly? Jeans and maxidresses. I’m quick to throw on a pair of jeans on the weekends, and I love a good maxi dress too! A maxidress requires minimal fuss and one with a funky print is a bonus! I picked up this gorgeous Aztec print maxi dress a while ago on sale at Wallis. I wore it a few weekends ago while in San Diego. We went to the infamous SD Zoo so I needed something comfortable to walk around in all day. The dress is thin so I wore leggings underneath it but it’s the perfect pack-and-go outfit! It’s now sold out but I found some...  Read More..

Last month I visited the Hudson Jeans showroom to see their Spring/Summer styles and preview their Fall collection. I love Hudson denim because it fits and flatters my curves, plus they’ve got a great mix of trendy and classic styles. I was gifted a pair of these Hudson Jeans Nico Foil Stingray Printed Mid Rise Skinny Jeans in Belize, (available at Bloomingdale’s and Saks Fifth Avenue) from the current collection. These jeans are the perfect shade of pink/lavender (they appear darker in my photos but you can see the true color here) and are coated just a touch with the foil stingray...  Read More..

Dubbed the “Fashion Oscars,” celebrities and designers strutted their stuff last night at the 2012 Costume Institute Gala. Held at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, this year’s Costume Institute Benefit celebrated Elsa Schiaparelli and Miuccia Prada and the opening of the “Schiaparelli and Prada: Impossible Conversations” exhibition in New York. Azealia Banks, who attended with and was dressed by Alexander Wang, was the performer for the night. And of course, the fashion was out in full force and as always, we saw major hits and misses.
