In honor of one of my favorite holidays, I thought I'd share some green inspiration as we head into this weekend. Green is such a big color this Spring in all shades. I can't wait to break mine out on Saturday.
Hope the luck of the Irish is with you over the weekend!

2012 Golden Globes
1/16/2012The theme of fashion at the Golden Globes this year: High Ponytails, Neutrals, and Headbands...oh my!!
Awards season is upon us...and I have to admit in my pre-occupied state of cooking a baby and getting ready for his arrival, I practically overlooked it. What is wrong with me?!?! Sunday's show did not disappoint (How can you not love a drinking Ricky Gervais?!) and here are some of my favorite looks from last night.
Awards season is upon us...and I have to admit in my pre-occupied state of cooking a baby and getting ready for his arrival, I practically overlooked it. What is wrong with me?!?! Sunday's show did not disappoint (How can you not love a drinking Ricky Gervais?!) and here are some of my favorite looks from last night.
Charlize Theron: In Dior and museum piece jewelry (way to up the ante!). Some didn't like the bow, I thought that it was just enough.
Emma Stone: in Lavin. Loved the two-tone and the risk with the eagle belt buckle. I mean how cool is she?!
Jessica Alba: In Gucci. She's made my list for the sole fact that she is my post baby body inspiration, but I do love the dress and thought she looked fabulous.
Lea Michele: In Marchesa. I'm a sucker for a Marchesa dress. This dress was incredibly out of the box for her usual classic look on the red carpet and I think she looked flawless. Great choice and it got people talking. Rachel Berry isn't in high school anymore!
Reese Witherspoon: In Zac Posen. Definitely wins the risk-taker of the night award for going so far out of her usual good-girl box and totally rocking it. Reese is usually a favorite of mine on the Red Carpet, but I was stunned with how amazing she looks. Marriage and happiness suits her well.
Sofia Vergara: In Vera Wang; "She sends me dresses that they zip and they close." How can you not love her?! And the color was absolutely gorgeous and a nice break from all of the neutrals
Elle MacPherson: In Zac Posen; She's kinda got a Benjamin Button thing going on and I want to know her secrets!
Nicole Richie: In Julien MacDonald; She looked absolutely flawless and I'm kinda obsessed with her bangs. Not to mention the clutch is House of Harlow. You have to appreciate a designer who stands behind her brand.
Claire Danes: In J. Mendel; How could you not love the back of this gown?? And overall, she looked stunning.
Even Rachel Wood: In Gucci; Anything with feathers and sequins, I'm totally in and all about.
So who made your list?? Are there any on my list you disagree with??

Write This Down
1/11/2012To say that I am stationary obsessed would be an understatement. I have drawers dedicated to different types of stationary in our desk. My mother instilled in me the importance of correspondence and thank you notes as a young child and I still write them diligently to this day. To that end, I love to have pretty pieces of paper to write on; maybe it just makes me feel a little more fancy, but I like to think that the recipient appreciates it as well. I have some personal favorite stationary sources: Crane & Co, Kate Spade, Vera Wang, Papyrus, Graphique de France, and Erin Condren to name a few. I also find value in having personalized stationary made; Check of Sugar Paper, Erin Condren, and Crane & Co for fantastic and unique products for perfect personalization. My other recommendation is to find local stores that offer stationary. I find some of my most favorite items from places that are local storefronts.
Added bonus, this week is National Letter Writing Week so pick up a piece of paper and write a quick note to a friend just to say hi. Messages via Facebook and Twitter, that was so 2011.

Friday Eye Candy: NYFW
9/16/2011
New York Fashion Week has finally come to a close yesterday and as always it did not disappoint!
[Oscar de la Renta]
As always, this fashion designer did not disappoint. I've always been a fan of Oscar's classic design, but this year he played it up with prints, beading, and fur.
[Marchesa]
I am in love with Marchesa's formal wear and their runway was filled with tons of tulle and beading. I have an unhealthy love of tulle.
[Vera Wang]
This year Vera opted for cleaner lines with a more muted palette. I've always been a fan of Vera and as much as a love her more classic, voluminous looks, I adored this divergence from the usual for her. I think it showed a great amount of versatility with her design.
[Rachel Zoe]
This was the designer's first show at NYFW and from everything I've seen and read, she rocked it out. Everyone is raving about the contrast and unexpected pairings that she is famous for.
[Carolina Herrera]
No real surprises here! Herrera has dress-design down to a fine art. This year she updated the looks with bold colors and different silhouettes. Isn't this dress to die for?!
[DVF]
I love Diane's design and her as a business woman. This collection included bold prints, oversized dresses, as well as plenty of tailored pieces. Totally worth checking out!
[Jason Wu]
This designer has been loved by many a celebrity and is known for his lady-like designs, but fashion-forward flair. This collection was on par with what he has delivered in the past. And the above skirt makes my heart go pitter-patter.
What were some of your NYFW favorites? Did you see anything that was surprising or disappointing?
