Sunday Brunch

Every Sunday my mom comes to Greensboro and we have brunch at the O.Henry Hotel. This Sunday was beautiful so we decided to sit outside on the terrace. While there I decided to try peppermint tea because I have heard so many great things about it, and I must say it was pretty good!! To eat I had a bacon, carmalized onion, and cheese Frittata served with hashbrowns on top along with some romesco sauce.

After Brunch I got a pedicure with my mom then met up with my friend Amanda. Amanda and I did a little shopping at Anthropologie (FYI they are having a killer sale both online and in stores right now.) We hit up Ulta as well...I think I am like obbsessed with OPI nail polish! Below is a pic of me (right side) and Amanda.

How was your weekend??

Greatest Trench EVER!!

SO, I have been longing for a trenchcoat for over a year now. I finally found and purchased the perfect one for me! I discovered it at Anthropologie and it fits perfectly. I normally have trouble finding coats because I am pretty short, so they always hang too low. But this one is wonderful! I also LOVEEEEE the ruffle details, it gives your basic trench a little twist. What do you think about it???

First Lady Sports a New "Do"

Last night the First Lady was at the Time 100 gala in NYC. She showed up with a totally, new look. Michelle Obama wore a black dress with stands of long beads, and a severe side part. In my opinon she looked VERY modern, but still maintained her simplistic classiness. The people at Shine by Yahoo thought that the First Lady looked like she may have got her inspiration from Rihanna. I could see how Shine thought that, but I think she was just trying out a more up to date look. What do you think?

My new love...Anthropologie

I love this store's vibe! So fresh and airy! The best thing about it is that there are clothes suitable for women of all ages. I also love the home section! Here are a few items from http://www.anthropologie.com/ that I am lusting over.

Fashion Obssessed?

Ok, so it is one of my best friends' birthday tomorrow. She invited me and a bunch of our friends to go to dinner at Firebird's tomorrow night. As soon as I told her I would love to go my immediate thought was "hmmm what will I wear?" I asked some of my friends what they were wearing just so I could see how dressy everyone was going to be and they told me they had not even thought about it. This starteling news left me in awe. Do other people really not plan out what they are going to wear, I know I do as soon as I learn I am going somewhere. Is this normal or is fashion REALLY REALLY all I live, sleep, dream, and think? All I know is I love clothes and style and cannot believe some people do not care about it at all. Do you guys find yourself in the same situation? any ideas what to wear, I think it's going to be pretty casual?

LOOOOVE Them!

Spring '09 Trends I am wearing!

Black on White Prints

Your basic black and white got re-vamped! Worn together, the colors look effortlessly chic and definately NOT boring. Oscar de la Renta displayed this trend at his show! I usually accessorize with a bright colored handbag while wearing this trend! It adds a nice pop of color, try hot pink or bright yellow!

Mix-Matching
When I was a child my mother allowed me to dress myself on Fridays. Usually my outfits consisted of mix-match patterns. Luckily, the trend is in season! Designers such as my all time favorite, Michael Kors, put patterns together in unexpected ways! The trick to wearing this trend is to stay cohesive when it comes to the colors.

Pastels
Wearing pastels just screams "Spring" the only problem is they can have the tendancy to wash people out. So when I wear pastels I try to accent with a brighter shade of the same color. Just like Isaac Mizrahi did in his Spring '09 collection. I also wear a brighter color blush and lip gloss than usual so I don't look so pale.

Presidential Fashion

First Lady Michelle Obama has quickly become a fashion icon. Many compare her to the late Jackie Kennedy Onasis. Her are just a few pictures of the First Lady while she was in Europe with President Obama.

What do you think about the First Lady's looks? Do you think she's a good represtantion of classic American style? I do, I love her classic and simplistic looks. She always looks wonderful!
