What a week! I’m in Cancun for a wedding and the only thing on my daily agenda is margaritas and sun! I’m at the ME by Melia and if you have an upcoming vacation, I highly recommend this place. The service is out of this world and the amenities are comparable to any Ritz-Carlton or Four Seasons…at a fraction of the cost! I found the hotel on Hotwire for 60% off the rack rate!
Before I came down here, I picked up a neon yellow tote from the Maxx New York showroom and I can’t tell you how many compliment’s I’ve received on my beach bag! I think Neon has made a huge comeback, as evident by the recent Stephen Sprouse collection for Louis Vuitton, so here are some more modern and budget-friendly ways to incorporate the day-glo colors into your wardrobe! And remember, it’s all about the neon accent…we don’t need any 80’s fashion flashbacks when you wore the color head-to-toe!

I think the best way to wear Spring’s softer, more feminine styles is to add a little edge. You never want to do one trend head to toe, so why not break up that flirty chiffon skirt or that ruffled mini-dress with some stud-accented accessories??
Go ahead, embrace your inner rocker-chic…just not the Bret Michaels/Rock of Love kind!

So I know it might seem early to be lusting after sandals given that it rarely gets above freezing here in Philly , but I can’t help myself and there’s nothing like a versatile pair of gorgeous Vachetta sandals to get me in the mood for shorts, spring dresses and girly skirts! The natural colored shoe is one of my favorite trends for Spring ‘09 and with so many styles like flats and gladiators in woven, studded and strappy versions, you’re sure to find a pair that works for you!
The perfectly neutral tone makes these shoes wearable with just about any color and can we talk about how much longer your legs will seem when they seamlessly disappear into a pair of 4″ natural colored heels?!? My only suggestion is that you might want to consider a little faux sun to tan those mid-winter gams before you strap these on!

The Sundance Film Festival officially kicked off yesterday, so I thought I’d have a look at some of the fashions- the good, the bad and the UGLY- from last year…

and as you can see from these pictures, celebrities + cold weather = bad fashion choices…so I’m sure we’ll have plenty of fashion don’ts to discuss over the next two weeks! And since my husband happens to be in Park City this weekend, I’m hoping he’ll get some candid/papparazzi style shots that I can post for your entertainment purposes!
