March Fashion 2010

Think About … Newsworthy Nature

Ah! The catalog in the mail. You spot it; the anticipation of looking through the newest and greatest out there. Nothing replaces perusing a fine catalog in print; the heaviness of the page; the detail to showing clothing and accessories at their best. Peruse in your bed, library, patio, pool.  Just as I appreciate reading a book and flipping the pages; going to the library (the Dewey Decimal System-genius!), the catalog is a pleasure we shoppers really appreciate. Here’s my top five favorites from the Saks Fifth Avenue catalog March Fashion 2010.

  Diane von Furstenberg

Moschino

Rock & Republic

Teri Jon

Gucci

For you gals who like Diane von Furstenberg, click on the above link to see her new designs for spring/summer! I love the prints she’s going with. For cool days and nights, add a neutral jacket, shawl or cardigan (which you already have in your closet) and you’ve updated your wardrobe!

My friend Kathy and I attended a luncheon hosted by the Governor of Louisiana for people in the film and music industry. I should mention I went to the Grammy’s with my good friend (and room mate from years ago) Kathy Lanser, who is an artist management and marketing consultant working with Blind Ambition. It “takes a village” to bring a Grammy nominee to the Grammy Awards and she worked hard on her assignments. Anyway, the luncheon at the Biltmore was exciting with delicious offerings of Louisiana’s finest fare; entertainment by the hot Harry Connick Jr. ; Cedric Watson; and Zydeco music; along with fun, interesting and delightful luncheon companions. An affair to be remembered!

This fuchsia DVF dress is one of my favs, but too low-cut for a luncheon.  I added a pink silk shawl, which is also nice to have on hand for air conditioned venues.

I started on a project today and Grammy fever took over. Two hours later, I have outfits together, but my bedroom and dressing area look like I was hit by a hurricane!

The dress I’m wearing for Grammy night is from alice + olivia. Stacey Bendet started a great line and I find myself purchasing more and more of this NY native’s designs when I’m looking for something fun. I’ll wear this glamorous little black dress with sheer dot stockings by BCBG and Dior high heels.  Accessories: Lori Bonn earrings; bracelets-one being a purple enameled cuff by Kara Ross; eggplant headband with a big rhinestone in the middle of 5” feathers; purple Prada evening bag. Nars makeup and Estee Lauder Black Amethyst nail polish will complete the outfit.

For the flight to LA and a lunch on Saturday, I’m wearing a fuchsia DVF dress with Stuart Weitzman bone heels. I’ll use the same shoes with a black sexy number from INC for Saturday night. Friday night I have a dress from Free People, wearing with patterned tights from Juicy Couture and Michael by Michael Kors Beverly Sandals in genuine snake. Earrings and bracelets by John Hardy.

I’ll be adding to the pile as I think of things the next few days. I’m determined to have one medium size bag. We’ll see!

Meanwhile, it’s stopped raining in Los Angeles.  Let’s hope we have dry weather for the Red Carpet!
