Tough as Lace

Dress: 4.Collective Daniella Cap Sleeve Lace Sheath Dress

Booties: Prada

I love the juxtaposition of this ultra feminine white and black lace dress with the tougher look of these Prada booties. I just love this look!

Studded

I have been sick all week, and am finally going to the doctor today. I think I have a sinus infection! You can see that even though I went to bed at 9 p.m. last night, which I haven't done in forever, I still look exhausted. I have so much pressure and pain in my sinus area... I just want to feel well again.

Wine With That?

The new hot Fall color is apparently "wine" (also known as Bordeaux or maroon). Fortunately, I have several dresses in that color, like this one from designer Rebecca Taylor.
