Between hanging out with my family, acting as an all-you-can-eat buffet for mosquitoes, and perfecting my smoothie-making technique (I'm up to two per day. Seriously, it's a problem), I spent most of the holiday weekend working on the new issue of Style Sample magazine. You can read the online version here, and order a copy of the print edition--which includes a pretty awesome bonus feature on personal styling--here. I didn't even get to see
Last Friday evening I hit the Purple People Bridge with Style Sample magazine photography assistant Brandy for Cincy Chic's Red Pink and Blue event. It was much bigger this year, and I ran into a few familiar faces. Jewelry sponsor Serket Jewelry had tons of gorgeous pieces, including a substantial collection of statement necklaces.

My plans for this weekend include a rooftop celebration at a friend's condo, my cousin's graduation party, and judging dogs in dressed in drag. What are your plans?

For some reason, wearing black and navy together makes one feel very French, n'est-ce pas? Really, I think that particular combination makes both (neutral, sometimes boring) colors more interesting. They're both integral to my wardrobe palette. These pants (a result of the lazy DIY, if you recall) are so cool and breezy--perfect for the hot and humid weather we've been having.
