High Winds & A Headscarf

I'm happiest when I'm getting dressed for weather between 50º and 70º.  Luckily for me, New York is loving the mid-60's lately so I decided to bust out a skirt san tights this week.  I did have some minor troubles trying to wrangle the skirt, it's none too flattering in moments of high winds, but it worked.

In the morning while I was tying my new scarf {$5 find} in my hair, I knew I looked like someone or something and it wasn't until mid-day that I realized it was Rosie the Riveter.  It's odd, but I'm willing to embrace the look because I have a feeling it's gonna be a staple this summer especially since I'm growing the bangs back out!

Sartorial Roundup: 2013 SAG Awards

And so awards season continued last night with the SAG Awards.  It's one of my favorites because of the amazing opening {My name is ___, and I am an actor}, and it always finishes up in exactly two hours.  In general I wasn't all that impressed with the looks this year, but there were still some stunners.

 I thought that pretty much everything but the color was wrong on Claire Danes during the Golden Globes, but this dress is PERFECTION. I love how clean it is, yet modern with the dolman one sleeve and graphic pattern.  Love, love, love this Givenchy.

Sartorial Roundup: 2013 Golden Globes

After spending a few days at home with my family to celebrate the life of my Grandpa, I've come back refreshed and ready for the year to really begin.  This, of course, as silly as it seems means celebrating the beginning of the awards show season with the Golden Globes.  

I was busy traveling back to the east coast while the pretty people in Hollywood were walking the red carpet, but I've finally gotten caught up and I certainly have a few opinions.  Please enjoy my commentary below...

Kerry Washington was perfect in Miu Miu, from sheer in all the right places to the length, to her sleek hair, this look is spot on.

White House, Red Carpet

I basically went forward with this post simply because I couldn't not use the title.  Anyways, let's get political, or not...  This is the time of year that celebs and reporters descend on the White House for the annual White House Correspondents dinner, below are my candidates for best dressed!

Dakota Fanning in Prada

Ginnifer Goodwin is wearing H&M Conscious Collection

Zooey Deschanel in Oscar de la Renta

Kerry Washington in Calvin Klein Collection - so gorgeous on her!

And Leslie Mann took a risk in a floral Naeem Kahn gown.

As usual there were some real flops {Kim K wore velvet, and Alicia Keys looked WAY too casual} , but these ladies turned it out.  

Charleston by Night

This is how Jenny and I spent our evenings...

First night, dinner at Poe's...we would probably tell you that our dinner was delicious and "the perfect amount..."

Friday we headed to 32 degrees for frozen yogurt...entirely necessary after the sweltering day!

Saturday night we got dressed up and decided to hit the town!!  It turned out to be an interesting night, meeting a few native Charleston boys and closing the evening drinking a New Holland beer at "Closed for Business."

Jenny looked AWESOME in her brand new Urban dress and a few key accessories...lovinnnn the green!!

I decided to take my vintage Oscar de la Renta skirt out on the town, I scored the skirt at Modern Vintage Chicago, and I accessorized with my AMAAAZING new necklace from CHICO'S.  Yes I said Chico's...we both walked away with stunnas for necklaces!

Sunday night we settled in with our Chicken Cesar Pizza and cupcakes (ice cream too), and watched The Switch...the perfect ending to a lovely weekend!!
