Red Pink and You

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.

Well suited

Watching Casablanca last weekend put me in the mood for a little suit action–but with a feminine touch. The lacy blouse is was a Gunne Sax-ish Little House on the Prairie dress I picked up at a thrift store a while ago, which wound up hanging out in my trunk (aka “storage”) for the better part of a year. I finally dug it out and attacked the dress with a pair of scissors in a...
