Legally Blonde

"Whoever said that orange was the new pink was seriously disturbed"

--Elle Woods

Yes, I'm blonde.  It actually used to be my natural color before I died it a multitude of different colors, but regardless, I am now a true Californian.  Except I don't have blue eyes.  Tangential!  Anyhoo, I always seem to forget how much I love pink!  I love this dress because it's actually made up of a bunch of little hearts, and then the torso (which actually has wonderful boning structure reminiscent of a corset) is in the shape of a heart.  It's a perfect Valentine's Day dress... but not really warm enough for February.  Pink is a power color, ladies.  It is ultra feminine, and should be worn with pride.  Never shy away from owning your femininity!  Women are strong, powerful creatures who can wear pink and pearls... but still kick just as much ass as Lucy Liu in Kill Bill.

That's a Wrap

"I am... I am... I am..."

--Sylvia Plath, The Bell Jar

You know you're pathetic when 72 degrees feels cold... or that you're becoming a native Californian.  To combat this weak breeze I wore a long-sleeved wrap dress that honestly reminds me of an ice skating costume.  Seriously, I felt like I stepped off the rink only moments before!  For those of you still on the East Coast, you probably could have.  Winter whites are a trend I've noticed this year, and I truly don't follow trends, but I'm enjoying this one.  Why limit yourself to Labor Day when white (or shades of) look great year round?  They look even better with black!  Black and white are always flattering, regardless of the scenario, and engender an air of sophistication and style.
