Best dressed with Calvin Klein

A little summer rain never hurts.  Especially here in Colorado where  things can get very dry.  The rain did not dampen my spirits at all during my recent photo shoot with Judy Black.  She is such a good girlfriend, next door neighbor and AMAZING photographer.  So, I just brought my Burberry umbrella and made the best of it!

Don't you just love this bright yellow dress by Calvin Klein?  It is a simple sheath style but with pretty shoulder cut-outs.  The fabric is the popular "scuba" type and it is very comfortable.  Also, perfect for travel.

This dress is perfect for a daytime summer wedding, don't you think?  I added my classic pearls from the Audrey Hepburn Jewelry Collection at HSN.  These pearls go with everything, just like chocolate chip cookies and milk!

Oh, BTW...I purchased the dress at Dillard's but the Calvin Klein dress collection is available at many retailers.

I love all the daisies in this photo shoot.  They make me smile! 

I hope you have found this post helpful when thinking to yourself "hey, how can I accessorize a simple sheath?" or "what can I wear to a daytime summer wedding and still look chic and polished?"  Just think of me as your dress obssessed fairy godmother!

I hope the rest of your summer is terrific!

Stay beautiful,

Christmas Day Outfit

This super comfy sweater dress is what I wore for Christmas Day dinner at Alpenrose Restaurant in Vail, CO.  It is by  Cremieux Collection and I  found this one at Dillard's.

The dress is cozy and comfy and I love the cowl neck.  It has a little bit of sparkle in the threads and mini sequins. Very festive!  I found these fabulous velvet pull-on boots at Neiman Marcus and they are by Donald Pliner. The kitten heels are comfortable while walking around in Vail Village on our way to cocktails at the Sonnenalp Hotel.  They do such a beautiful job decorating for the holidays!

This is such a fun faux fur coat!  I love the colors and it feels AMAZING!  It is designed by Dennis Basso and can be found at QVC.  I am not sure if it is still available as I have had it for several years.  BUT...he has many designs online.

Hope you are staying warm & having fun!

Green Fit & Flare Dress

What a pretty green fit and flare dress!  What attracted me at first was the lovely green color BUT what sold me was the embellished neckline and arms.  Just the perfect amount of sparkle.  I found this dress at Dillard's and it is by Belle Badgley Mischka Collection.

The hemline is perfect as I am not fond of anything that hits me too high above the knee. It moves very gracefully and I just feel great when I wear it!  That's the whole point of fashion, right?

The embellishment is so pretty!  Similar to a star pattern and I would be comfortable wearing this to a dressy lunch as I would for a casual New Years Eve.  It's just that versatile!

Here is a close up view of the front.  Simple, elegant, colorful and comfortable!  I collect angels and I sometimes have them out all year long.  Don't worry, my Christmas lights don't suffer the same fate!!

Thanks so much for stopping by and sharing my passion for fashion.

Happy New Year!

A Christmas Ball Gown

This formal gown is Beautiful!  I could have REALLY danced ALL NIGHT!  Where is the von Trapp Family when you need them!??  Nevertheless, I still had a wonderful time when I wore this to a black tie holiday party recently. 

The ball gown is by Adrianna Papell and I bought it at Dillard's.  Blue is my favorite color and the top has gorgeous blue and off white embroidered lace.  A bow at the waist makes it so feminine but the BEST PART is that the skirt has POCKETS!!!  #HAPPY DANCE!  My Estee Lauder lipstick in Vengeful Red (wearing here) spent the entire night in my pocket for quick touch-ups.  I also liked that the skirt is designed shorter at the front and longer in the back. It even has an old fashioned crinoline!   And when you walk it just flows with such elegance...pass the champagne, please.

These shoes are perfect for this dress.  A silver sparkle with a slight blue hue.  They have been in my closet for years.  They were designed by Adrienne Maloof of Housewives of Beverly Hills fame.  I have not see her line in ages, so...unfortunately not available.  But, you get the picture.

I wish you a blessed Holiday Season! Be Happy. Be Blessed. Be Glamourous.
