Monday

Back to work after a great weekend. Luckily, this week is a short one due to the Thanksgiving holiday. The look on my face begs to differ. I caught a bus back to Boston late last night and I'm still feeling the effects of a long weekend this morning. Hey, at least my eyes are open!

Weekend

I spent a fab weekend in NYC with two of my fave GF's. I had to pack lightly as I hate lugging around stuff through the city. I made to sure to pack clothes that I could wear theblack suede flat boots I wore Friday, which basically consisted of leggings and tops and what I JUST noticed was apparently a striped theme. The weather was gorgeous, in the mid 50's all weekend which was perfect for lots of post-eating walking around. I love living on the East Coast and being able to hop on a bus and a few hours later I'm in NY.

Sunday

SIDENOTE - Yes, I know horizontal stripes are always on the fashion "don't" list but I couldn't resist the pattern and I'm a sucker for black and grey colors. The rule is that horizontal stripes make you look wider. I don't think they look that bad, but I could be a little biased about myself ;)

All tale of two Olivias....

Recently, I've found myself obsessing over the wardrobes of tv's Olivia Palermo (MTV's The City - which I do NOT watch but somehow Olivia Palermo landed on my radar due to the gossip mags) and Olivia Wilde ( Fox's House). Whether its their red carpet style or simple day-time looks, I covet their closets.

Cat Deeley - Top 14

Metallics were in full effect Tuesday night when the Top 14 performed. I can't find a picture of last night's results show just yet, but rest assured that as soon as I do I am posting because she looked like a little school girl.

This dress is vintage and the shoes are Manolo Blahniks. According to InStyle, Cat put on a pair of black pumps and headed to Mann's Village Theatre to join boyfriend, Twiglight star, Jack Houston for the premiere of New Moon. What are your thoughts on this dress? Cat can do no wrong as far as her shoes are concerned, but I am noticing that she tends to lean towards sparkly/metallic dresses. See here and here and here AND here.

Belated SYTCD Review

I forgot to post about Cat Deeley's outfit on the results show last week (11/11/09). I'm a sucker for red lips, red shoes and of course, a fierce red dress. The shoes were fab (Cole Haan) and the make up and hair suited the dress. The dress was Top Shop and I think its cute, and looked even more adorable on her.
