Happy Holidays!
My social calendar runneth over with oodles of events. Tonight I’m headed to a Moet Nectar Rosé Lounge hosted by Future; last week, I attended a holiday dinner sponsored by Pikolinos shoes.

For the occasion, I tried on another Kimberly Goldson suit for size, namely her super festive Brooke Tuxedo Jacket and Camila Striped Pants.

I offset the jazzy ensemble with a white button down, Saint Laurent bone pumps, and a matching Miu Miu clutch.

After shooting my look with Lydia Hudgens, I headed to the Pikolinos dinner hosted by Tai Beauchamp. I, along with editors Zandile Blay, Julee Wilson, Felicia Walker Benson, and more, enjoyed a delicious dinner catered by Yum Yum NYC:

The dinner was to raise awareness about Pikolinos’s line of Maasai designed beaded sandals, whose proceeds go towards helping the Kenyan community. We gathered to ogle the cute wares and learn more about the initiative.

Check out a few fun party pix:

The Pikolinos x Maasai sandals are really cute!! Check out a few styles below:

They ring in at about $200 a pop, and all sales go towards a charitable cause. See more here.
At any rate, it was a fun night, and a fabulous way to kick off the holiday season.

I’d love to hear what your party plans entail–and what you’re wearing!!

First Lady Michelle Obama celebrated the holidays with President Barack Obama and daughters Sasha and Malia wearing a J. Mendel Resort 2013 Embroidered Cap Sleeve Jacket and White Chiffon Skirt.

Fabulous hair and practical Manolo Blahnik pumps completed her look.

Her embroidered topper was modeled with slim fit white trousers.

This look is definitely winning! Elegance and grace personified. And the First Family looks quite dashing, no?

*Lady O first wore the ensemble to a reception at Buckingham Palace back in July:

She knows how to get good use out of her designer threads. I’m not mad!

We’re ending the week with another wardrobe styling Bombshell! See what Dyandra from New York e-mailed our way:

She says, “ If I had to describe my style in three words, it would be a mixture of glamorous…”


“… chic…”


“… and edgy.”


” I love to play with unique pieces, incorporating luxury, fast fashion and vintage items into my daily looks.”


” I get dressed based on how I feel that day…”


“… which is key when owning your sense of style.”


” As I like to tell my clients, ‘style should be effortless…”

“‘ reflecting who you are as an individual.””

You have a thing for leopard! I do too;) At any rate, loving that long sleeve leopard maxi!

“… flirty and weekend ready! “

” I take different risks on a daily basis with mixing color palettes and different prints to make my ensemble stand out!”


” I am never timid to go all out, try new ideas and implement certain pieces into my attire…”


“… such as faux furs, hats, ties, etc.”

We have another Washington, D.C. Bombshell! Take a look at Robin’s flicks:

She writes, “Fashion is how I express myself through creativity.”


“Putting on that perfect outfit gives me confidence and class.”


” Nothing feels better than looking your best.”


” As a shy girl growing up, fashion was a way that I communicated who I was.”


” My style can be described as edgy and versatile.”


” I always make sure my look is put together nicely from head to toe. I stay on trend while pushing the envelope.”

” I have a Bachelor’s degree in Biology and am the CEO & Lead Designer of my own online boutique, Vintage Expresso.”


“I love contrasting vintage with contemporary pieces to create a unique and different look!”


You’re a beautiful woman! I would’ve like to see a few looser silhouettes, but you have the body to pull off pretty much anything. Work it!

You guys are a tough crowd! Let’s see if Yvonne from Texas passes your chic test.

She types, “My style is trendy…”

“… Bright…”

“And sexy in a classy way.”


“I love trends but only trends that work for my body.”


” I believe I can’t go wrong with colors.”


” I love to be sexy in a subtle/classy way, showing just one focal point usually legs.”


” I like the idea of mixing high and low price point items.”


” And I believe, it’s better to be overdressed than the opposite.”

Work! I love your more monochrome looks (all black and all nude).
