Easter is one of my favorite holidays. It really marks the official end of winter…

Let’s face it — going to dinner with couple friends is not just an excuse to catch up, but also an excuse to show other cute couples how cute (and stylish) you are. I mean I don’t know about you, but I’ve got two usual ways of dressing — for the office or for weekends at home. So the only time I get to wear something that’s at all sexy or fun is when we go out, and these days, our idea of a wild night out is a late dinner with friends (god, when did we get so old). But for some reason, picking out an outfit, even if we’re just going to dinner with good friends who couldn’t care less what I look like, stresses me out. It’s probably because I don’t have a lot of “going out” clothes now that hitting the bars and clubs isn’t in my regular weekend lineup. Here are my favorite outfit ideas for going to dinner with couple friends.

I don’t know about you, but my mailbox is already filled with invitations to spring…

Recently I went to a baby shower in the Connecticut on a frigid day. I wanted to look cute and slightly spring-y (or at least not wear all black or my current uniform of the biggest, warmest sweater I can find). As per usual I wasn’t liking anything in my closet, so i ordered a dress that is actually the perfect winter to spring dress.

Here’s how to look just festive and put-together enough for a Sunday night Oscars Party — without looking like you’re headed to your own red carpet.

Dressing for a kid’s birthday party is not exactly like dressing for an adult birthday party in that kids are messy and their parties often involve some form of activity that doesn’t exactly mesh well with heels or cute dry-clean only dresses. Still, cutoff shorts and a t-shirt doesn’t exactly live up to the effort involved in an event that often involves hired kiddy entertainment, catered food, and personalized decorations (or at least in NYC, where the birthday parties we’ve been to can be way over the top). And hey, kids are a lot of work, so after making it through another year, it really should be just as much about celebrating the parents, right? The trick to dressing for a kid’s birthday party is finding that perfect blend of comfy and casual and kid/baby-proof but still chic. Easy enough? Yeah right! To help, I put together a guide for what to wear to a kid’s birthday party. 

From gear for the slopes to apres ski wear and warm layers, here’s everything you need to pack for a stylish ski getaway.

This year, we returned to Park City for the Christmas holiday. While I wasn’t as good about documenting my outfits as I had hoped (sorry, I was too busy running after a two year old, enjoying the snow, and mostly, stuffing my face), I did manage to capture a few of my go-to looks.

So for a twist on my usual week in outfit posts, here’s what I wore on our last ski vacation. 

Vacation is officially over, and I for one, am mourning the end. Luckily, it was…

If you’re staying in or going to a decidedly low-key celebration, you still want to look festive on New Year’s Eve. My favorite approach is to add some sparkle to jeans or leather pants or dress down a dress with a cozy sweater. If you’re looking for options, here are my favorite ideas for what to wear to a casual New year’s Eve party.
