On My Radar

This is what's on my radar this week: high rise jeans (like, right below the belly button, not up to the bra!), super comfortable summer shoes, and a sophisticated, flattering bathing suit option for those days when a bikini is just not happening.

Guest Model: Party Dress for Mom-to-Be

This is my gorgeous sister Liz who, as you can see, is HELLA PREGNANT. But that didn't stop her one bit from parting all night with us like a champ (okay, well except for the alcohol bit...). I thought this dress was so clever and she looked so beautiful, she needed to be featured as a guest model.

The genius of the print on this (comfy cotton!) dress is that it totally fools the eye. Scroll back up to the first picture of her from straight on. Because the print is so graphic and asymmetrical, it's hard to tell if she's even pregnant, until she turns to the side and reveals the magic she's baking there! Pair that with high, but comfortable wedges and a sparkly clutch, and she's good to go.
