Eye-4-Style

Saturday afternoon Kathy and I went for a walk to Macy’s, about 7 blocks from the hotel. A street off Grand was blocked off as Justin Timberlake was filming a movie. We saw Justin run down steps and jump into a SUV.  He looked good! We thought we’d be funny and take pictures of the paparazzi!

At Macy’s, I ended up purchasing a few items from INC International Concepts. It is hard to resist this line.  I’ve said it again and again; INC offers fun style for a very reasonable price!  Click on this hyperlink to go to an e-mail I received from Macy’s today regarding INC.

Whew! Fast-paced, exciting weekend in LA! I  left off with cutie Kiefer filming ‘24’ outside our hotel upon arrival.  We dressed for a Friday night on the town, pretty much ready for anything. Dinner and cocktails at Chateau Marmont provided an exciting mixture of people. I wore a paneled form-fitting black number from I-N-C International Concepts. The dress is a combo of rayon, nylon and spandex. The dress is great because it provides enough give to dance but doesn’t stretch out like some cotton-spandex blends do; keeps you smooth (almost like Spanx); doesn’t wrinkle; feels good to wear. Winter-white Stuart Weitzman pointed toe shoes with 2” heel and Anne Klein shawl, bone color jewelry, completed the look. I believe the shoes, shawl and dress cost me less than $200 (always shopping a good sale) ! We proceeded to a party at a dance club hosted by Grammy nominee Malik Yusef. After dancing a couple of hours,we headed back downtown to the Biltmore for a nightcap. Here’s before and after photos of Friday night. (Note end of evening feet up; love to dance!)

Again, the dress  packed well and held up to the evening’s activities. INC rocks! I didn’t have plans to wear the dress again this trip but certainly could have. A pretty print cardigan with flats would have been worked nicely for a casual lunch/evening or afternoon of shopping.

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!

I was excited to receive this e-mail today and will go to Macy’s at The Coastland Center here in Naples, Florida. I’ve talked about INC in the past and this is one of my favorite moderately-priced clothing lines.  I find the designs and colors exciting and this line fits my body well. When I wear an outfit, I feel “with it” but not “trendy.” I also get a lot of compliments so I know it works!  Have to run! INC is calling!
