While getting ready for the fabulous Oscar Night DC, I flipped on E! to watch the red carpet arrivals. Drinking Veuve, putting on false lashes, curling hair, and trying to watch for the newest trends is a task unto itself. Nothing caught my eye until I saw Sandra Bullock, WOW! Her gorgeous embellished gown, her [...]

I want to thank everyone who came out to Hela Spa and Ted Gibson Salon to support the Washington Humane Society fundraising of Allison Brooks and me. I also want to thank Hela Spa and Ted Gibson Salon for hosting, and our sponsors Ruth’s Chris Steakhouse, Georgetown Cupcake, Barefoot Wine & Bubbly, and my friends at [...]

 
Before leaving to go to New York for Fashion Week, I decided to stop into Barney’s Co-Op to find something fabulous to wear. While strolling through the store, I spotted a travel candle and immediately snatched it up. I cannot stand staying in a hotel room without a candle of my own. While I was [...]

 
New York Fashion Week holds a special place in my heart, and the 2010 Fall Collections did not disappoint.

Ted Gibson and Anne Hathaway.
If you’re like me, you adore TLC’s What Not to Wear. I love Stacy London and Clinton Kelly, but I’ll be honest I always found Nick Arrojo’s accent slightly annoying. I couldn’t tell if he was Australian, South African, Irish, or what! Well, he’s from Manchester, England, hence the lack of the Queen’s [...]
