These shoes were made for dancing: Inaguration style series (part two)
After a day of standing on your feet, bobbing through the crowds for a glimpse of the newly sworn-in president, you’ll be happy to dance the night away in these sexy yet comfortable heels.
This is a great time in fashion for footwear. Thicker heels and platform soles are very much au courant, being deemed the super sexy shoe of the moment (and thank goodness, it was about time we women got a break!).
The guide for choosing formal footwear when you know you will be on your toes all night is fairly simple...read more

Inaugural Style Series: Part One - Evening Gowns
At last, it has arrived. Inauguration season is upon us. We all know the hype (2-4 million). We all know someone who’s going, or wants to go.

Coat couture: D.C.’s brightest winter accessory
During the winter, do you ever find that dressing stylishly can be difficult? Let’s face it, bundling up to brave the cold has never been sexy (unless you’re Mariah Carey and can afford a Gucci snow-bunny outfit). But for the rest of us, striking the balance between looking great and dressing warmly can take a little extra effort. Yet, if there’s one thing the well-dressed Washingtonian knows how to do, it’s to dress-up winter-wear.
By far, the best winter trend I’ve spotted this season is the bright-colored coat. It seems everywhere I look, it’s one coat, two coat, red coat, blue coat. Great coats and jackets in bright hues and elegant patterns, indeed, are the winter trend du jour.
If Santa didn’t bring you a coat this season, or even if he did but you want to take advantage of great after-holiday deals, a new coat in a dazzling color is a fantastic investment this winter.
Here are a few I recommend:
GUESS by Marciano Bow Back Topper was $139, now only $79.90 at Nordstrom
Belted wool trenchcoat in solids by VIA available at Victoria’s Secret online and catalogue for $148
Women’s belted plaid overcoat by Coffee Shop is 50% off at Overstock.com
This aqua Calvin Klein Asymmetrical Trench also comes in a canary yellow and is $148 at Nordstrom
If you are already part of Washington’s winter rainbow, send me a picture of you in your winter coat.

What are your wearing New Year's, New Year's Eve
The wrapping paper has been recycled and the countdown to New Year’s has begun. If you’re like many who haven’t really thought about what you’re going to wear to your December 31 soiree, not to fret – there’s still time.
New Year’s Eve is one of the greatest days of the year, style-wise. You can wear gold sequins and no one can say a thing about it! Not only that, but it’s a great time to start your resolution, be bold and ring in 2009 right!
So no matter if you’re living it up at Lima and Ultra Bar or going for a romantic ride on the Odyssey or imbibing champagne at a fun house party, there’s no reason not to gussy up and feel great about yourself.
Here are a few great looks to carry you from one New Year’s tryst to the next:
This silk sleeveless top from New York & Company will pair excellently with black wide leg pants or even a dark denim. Wear with a fitted blazer and an accessory of your choice (say a broach for the blazer or drop earrings).
Betsy Fisher offers Washington women an array of highly tasteful and yet equally trendy ensembles. The “Super Delegate” look offers holiday spirit, forgiving fabric and a timeless look.
Anyone who thinks Target is the better looking sister of Walmart is highly mistaken. This satin inspired cowl neck looks expensive, but only you will know your tickets for NYE will cost more than your outfit. 
I want to see your New Year's Eve ensemble! Send me your pics.
And no matter where you go and what you wear, don't forget to party like it's 2-0-0-9!
