The Dress that is a Dream!

Well, Christmas has come and gone... New Years is here and now and we are on our way to a great 2008! There is news to tell and I am bursting with excitement.. but patience Society Girls... all good things come in time.

New Year's Eve was a day I was able to re-live "my all time favorite fashion moment".... my wedding dress!

That's right, after almost three years of wedded bliss I pulled out the dress that still makes me swoon and with a photographer in tow, I gallavanted around the city as if I were a new bride.

I know it may sound crazy... but girls, this is the way to go... there is no need to be inhibited in the dress (fear of rips or stains), but just to dance and prance - climb and jump - and get AMAZING shots of the dress that is a dream.

Southern Christmas Eve Extravaganza!

It's Christmas Eve, and we are hosting the family for a Southern Christmas Eve Extravaganza! I have been cooking and cleaning the last few days and can't wait to celebrate.

I will be jetting out to the South for the next week to celebrate even more... so posts may be few and far between.

Merry Christmas everyone! Thanks for reading, thanks for your comments, thanks for being my inspiration!

Merry Christmas Weekend

It is officially time to stop everything mundane, routine, blah blah blah - and start celebrating "the most wonderful time of the year!" - CHRISTMAS!

It felt like a magical morning when I opened my eyes at 6:00 am, and the magic remained as I wrapped presents, had lunch with a friend, went shopping to show my hubby what I wanted (can you guess... shoes... of course) and eat sushi at the best little joint where Kasuki makes the best sushi.

Merry Christmas Weekend!

SOCIETY GIRL OF THE WEEK

Some would say I am brave when it comes to fashion.. but I am not brave.. not extremely brave. This week we focus on the brave, the individual and a girl that defines her own style. She does not seem to dictate what she wears based on magazines or celebrities. I find it inspiring!

She is the queen of layering, she has the best coats, she has the best sweaters, and a sunglass collection that makes me crazy (notice the white ones!). The "best" often are vintage or she has searched them out in a thrift store.

Her bravery and style deserve the recognition of Society Girl of the Week....

SHINY MEDIA's TOP 100!!!!!!

Thanks to Shiny Media for selecting me as one of their TOP 100 FASHION & LIFESTYLE blogs! I was honored by their description as well...

"#20 - The Vintage Society:
Another avid Wardrobe Remix-er, this blogger combines outfit and product picks with historical profiles, and celeb features. Her own sense of style is a great slice of LA indie which is accessible but nonetheless quirky."

INSTANT OUTFIT: Doubling-Up

As requested.... "I have to go to my sister's church to see my nephew in a Christmas play this year, but afterwards we're going out to celebrate my sister's birthday. I need an outfit that can be appropriate for church and festive, but not look too stuffy going out. Can you help?"- Alicia, Society Girl

With all the festivities that are planned around this time of year, often you have to double up and go from one thing to the next. You may have a Christmas lunch at work and then a dinner party later in the evening.. what's a girl to do?

I suggest finding a dress or skirt with a great print and some pizzazz that will knock socks off for your dinner party, but to make it a little more "church or office appropriate" - layer the dress with a sweater tunic or dress. Keep your accessories sleek and chic - but interesting.

Either way you will be stunning!

Input on the INSTANT OUTFIT?

One week before the Christmas holiday... any requests for the INSTANT OUTFIT? A trend... a specific event... anything?

Weekend Recap: Ice Skating and Gift Exchanges

Ice Skating, gift exchanges, and shopping are just a few of the Christmas pastimes enjoyed over the weekend. Festivities mean festive dressing!

For a skate downtown beneath the city skyscrapers and twinkling lights - I pulled together my ice skating skirt with a grey wooly sweater and cinched the waist with this wide orange belt.



An Italian Christmas gift exchange was a perfect way to wrap up this present of a weekend! For casual dining and good company I decided on my high-waisted jeans, puff-sleeve blouse, bow-tie, and my "ridicuously high" Michael Kors platforms.
