Work Pastels

I LOVE my friend’s Charlotte’s style. She’s always very classy and has a great sense of style. Charlotte looked gorgeous while sporting these super cute pink pastel pieces and jewelry from JCrew. I like that you can wear pastels throughout the year, such a great color. Every girl should have pink pastel pieces in her closet. I’m obsessed with JCrew Minnie pants, we both have them in four colors. They’re so practical; you can wear them to work and to go out with a nice blazer. They look good on all body types, there are a few of us that have these amazing pants in my office and they look great on everyone. I even wear them in the winter. I totally replaced my long wide pants with the Minnie. She finished up her outfit with Diane von Furstenberg sunglasses.

Ich liebe meine Freundin Charlotte Stil. Sie ist immer sehr edel und hat einen tollen Sinn für Stil. Charlotte sah wunderschön mit diese Rosa Kleidung und Schmuck aus JCrew an. Ich mag, dass man Rosa das ganze Jahr anziehen kann, tolle Farbe. Jedes Mädchen sollte rosa Kleidung in ihrem Kleiderschrank haben. Mir gefallt diese JCrew Minnie Hosen, wir beide haben diese Hosen in vier Farben. Sie sind so praktisch, man kann sie tragen, um zu arbeiten und mit einem schönen Blazer. Sie sehen gut aus auf alle Figur, es gibt ein paar von uns, die diese erstaunlichen Hosen in meinem Büro haben und sie sehen gut auf jeden an. Ich kann diese Minnie Hose im Winter anziehen. Sie beendete ihr Outfit mit Diane von Furstenberg Sonnenbrille.

AMO el estilo de mi amiga Charlotte. Ella es siempre muy elegante y tiene un gran sentido del estilo. Charlotte se veía preciosa mientras llevaba este super lindo color rosa pastel, piezas y joyas de JCrew. Me gusta puedes usar colores pasteles durante todo el año, es un gran color. Todas las chicas deben tener ropa de color rosa pastel en su armario. Estoy obsesionada con los pantalones Minnie de JCrew, alas dos lo tenemos en cuatro colores. Son tan prácticos, puedes usarlos para el trabajo y salir con una chaqueta bonita. Se ven bien en todos los tipos de cuerpo, hay algunas de nosotras que tenemos estos pantalones increíbles en mi oficina y se ven muy bien en todo el mundo. Incluso los uso en el invierno. He reemplazado totalmente mis pantalones anchos largos con los Minnie. Ella completó su atuendo con gafas Diane Von Furstenberg.

Indian Attire

Another amazing Indian/American wedding! Congratulations to Gaurav and Emily! Another wedding and another great opportunity to showcase the lovely Indian attires the bride and groom and two of my favorite couples wore. Emily wore a pretty Lehenga and Gaurav wore a Sherwani.

Beth wore a supercute Salwar. Beth has a great sense of style and she totally rocked the Salwar. The bright bag, wonderful accessories and of course the silver Isabel Jimmy Choo made the ensemble perfect! Sheel wore a Kurta.

The lovely Tracy wore a bright red and gold Sari, gold and red tone accessories. It’s not her first rodeo! If you want to check out what she wore on her wedding day, click here. Matt wore a Sherwani. For more ideas on Indian attires, check out my previous post.

Georgetown Fashion Night Out 2012

I’m so glad the rain decided to be kind to us and let us enjoy a night full of fashion, new trends, cocktails and fun! So many stores to see and so little time. This year, I made sure to stop at CUSP by Neiman Marcus to start the night with cupcakes, light refreshments, the newest fall fashion trends and music.

I continued to make my way into Georgetown to the M Street stores, while glancing at the “red carpet” photo shoot happening outside Banana Republic and then veering off to Wisconsin Avenue.

No matter how much I wanted to showcase some of my fall fashion statements, I had to keep it cool as the weather in DC is still in the humid/high heat side, thus I decided to wear an Adrienne Vittadini chains dress, JCrew Martina patent wedges, Michael Kors gold watch, Stella & Dot renegade bracelet, Mint Julep bracelet and a Reiss blush bag.

As the night continued, I made my way to the Wisconsin Avenue stores starting with Lou Lou, where I found supercute stud earrings and fun cards, and finally reaching one of my favorite Georgetown stores, Urban Chic.

While enjoying a cocktail with my friend Angelica and looking through the new arrivals at Urban Chic, I found a dreamy Rebecca Minkoff blazer, which I was lucky to have Inslee Haynes from Inslee by Design draw a sketch of my outfit. It was the perfect Fashion Night Out! I’m so glad, I was able to get this opportunity, I’ve been seeing her designs all over Pinterest and I’ve become a fan of her drawings!

Everyone was having a great time, including Urban Chic fairies and Guest of a Guest Becca Thorsen and Sophie Pyle. What a great night! We ended up at Bandolero for late night cocktails and delish food!

True Magic Love

Have you heard of MClaraSoto? If not, you should check it out. You’ll find supercute and affordable handmade jewelry and print designs.

Let me tell you a little bit about MClaraSoto’s creations and how a young girl turned her hobby into her business. It all started while Clara was in Argentina and she found herself cutting recycled pneumatic rubber that turned into a handbag, taking little pearls and stones and sewing them together to make necklaces… you get the picture right?

The next step was where to sell, who to contact and how to promote her creations. Clara continued to design and create on the road.. this road took her to Portugal where she created her first promotional materials with the help of “Call me Maybe” and my other dear friend Claudia.

Clara is now in Paris, where she continues to work on her True Magic Love line from a quaint apartment. You can find these fabulous handmade jewelry and print designs on Etsy.
Xoxo,
