Best of Style Tour shopping!

Hands down, the best part of the Dress for Success Style Tour was meeting new people. From Ms. Garr at Savannah G rocking purple streaks in her hair, to Nancy at Talk of the Town proclaiming herself "the happiest broke person you'll ever meet", not one person was in it for money. Everyone I encountered just decided to take a risk and do what they love. The second best part? Finding new places to shop!...

Three of Me

Even considering the possibility of causing a rip in the time/space continuum, how dope would it be to have an evil twin (or two) so the "real" you could rest, or take a vacation, or at least get a massage or something? Plus, your wardrobe would double...

On my radar

Click to enlarge full-size1. Gold leaf (get it?) heels from Sarah Burton's first full collection for Alexander McQueen. Methinks she done good. Style.com2. This Dries van Noten shirt dress looks like something Shelley Long would've worn as the prissy scout leader in Troop Beverly Hills. Right up my alley. Farfetch.com3.

On Saturday I took a break from my post-magazine release Internet sabbatical to interact with real, live people at a party/fundraiser for the United Way billed as The Event of the Season. I have to say, hanging out in a penthouse condo overlooking the lights of downtown isn't a bad way to spend a few hours. The weather was still fairly balmy (for November, anyway), so I took the opportunity to wear the...

DFS donation and drop-off!

DFS donation drop-off Yesterday, I stopped by the 4th Street Boutique to drop off an extremely generous donation of clothing from Soho Boutique (remember them from the Style Tour?) Trunk packed and ready to go! There was some good stuff in the pile--Alice & Olivia blouses, a Shoshanna dress, all kinds of contemporary brands, really. I kind of wanted to keep some of it...

In a blue dress

The return of early Fall or Indian Summer or whatever we're calling it when the temperature gets up to 70 degrees in November prompted me to dig in the back of my closet for something to wear. I closed my eyes, reached in, and pulled out this vintage poly-tastic blue dress.It's still pretty chilly in the morning, so I bundled up in a cropped jacket, colorful scarf, and boots. I actually planned on wearing a...

Projects in progress

Last week, I lamented my work load on Twitter: (You can follow @StyleSample for real-time updates--most of the time I'm not so complain-y, I swear.) Between the new issue of Style Sample magazine (out tomorrow!), Style Tour reviews, and a few other projects, my eyes are crossed from staring at page layouts and Wordpress admin screens. Good thing I love this stuff! Here's a peek at some of the things I've been working on:...
