A Gatsby New Years

Posted in Commentary, Fashion, Favorite Looks, Holidays by

So I am finally starting to feel better, which is perfect –  just in time for 2014! The last way I want to start my new year is by lying in bed defeated by the death plague, or whatever this horrible thing was. So I go from lounging in bed with OJ and Dimetapp to sipping on champagne and dancing the night away in ways only Jay Gatsby would be accustomed.

All that I care about wearing today are these {or any} sunglasses! After our party last night, sunnies are necessity! On a less woeful note…

Still hunting for the perfect look for an upcoming Holiday party? I hope you are as inspired as I am by this look focused around Alexander McQueen’s stunning and very regal dress with flounce. Styled here with classic black with a pop of color in the shoes and lips.

Welcome to Pain-free Heels… Maybe

Posted in Commentary, Fashion by

Did you hear the exciting news?! There is a new spray, invented by by a plastic surgeon in Beverly Hills, that numbs your feet in order to wear high heels. There is huge speculation on whether it works or is good for your feet, however, I thought I would take this opportunity to compile all the heels I am crushing on!
