CURRENT OBSESSION – CHIC ORGANIZATION TOOLS
I am an organization nut… however, I like everything that is used in the organization process to be just as fabulous as the things that they are being used to organized {vintage dresses, one-of-a-kind shoes, piles of my favorite photos, an endless collection of makeup, etc.}. Take a cue from the things below {I just purchased 1 and 4 for my office… yes, I want a closet in my office space… it’s inspiring!} and keep all of your wonderful belongings neatly and perfectly preserved… in style.

LUST LIST – AUGUST
I. love. August. Something about the last days of summer and the sudden twinge of fall teasingly playing with the evening air puts me in a whimsical and dreamy (dare I say… romantic?) mood. It’s the perfect time to layer fluttery summer influenced dresses in muted colors with thin knit sweaters… and wide leg pants in light colors look ethereal when paired with gauzy tops and accessories with personality. Grab a structured quilted bag in a plum hue, swipe on a pinkish coral lipstick, and lace up your ankle boots… August is waiting for you.

FABULOUS EVENT – A SURPRISE BIRTHDAY SOIREE
People that you love… and {if you’re really lucky} that love you… make everything worthwhile. I have a tendency to get caught up in all of the beautifully busy moments of life {as I’m sure you do, as well} and, in turn, my birthday came and went without all of the pomp and circumstance to which the people around me have become accustomed {I am known to have a great affinity for throwing a party for any reason at all}. Don’t get me wrong, my actual birthday was fabulous… it was just a bit understated in comparison to my natural proclivities {I couldn’t find the time… or justify taking the time… to do something to celebrate my own birthday… there were too many other things to be done!}. Those closest to me {most notably my sister [you can read a “love letter” I wrote to her here] and closest friends} noticed this and, two days after my actual birthday, totally knocked my little socks off with a party at Blush {read about this hotspot here and here} that was full of all of the things I L.O.V.E. {leopard print, cotton candy, martinis, hot pink…}… and, most importantly, it was filled with the people I love.

LOOK OF THE WEEK – CASUAL SOPHISTICATE
Some days {let’s face it… most days} require me to find a way to fit lots of business and lots of fun into the all-to0-short time span of 24 hours… Likely because I find the business that I am in to be insanely fun {and fabulous}, I tolerate {and even look forward to} my crazy schedule. I’ve learned that a 3pm meeting can quickly creep into my 8pm dinner-and-drinks-with-the girls time slot… so I need to dress in a way that seamlessly transitions from professional to personal. Enter: the casual sophisticate. With a simple color scheme {think neutrals like black, white, tan, cream, and grey} and a few feminine statement accessories {spikes, bows, studs, and there is never anything wrong with a pop of pink here and there}, you can be taken just seriously enough for work and still turn heads at happy hour.
