Vogue on So Much to Smile About

Monday Morning

Mon, 06 Jun 2011 00:00:00 +0000

After an amazing wedding weekend in Denver, I’m on my way back to DC! I had such a great time catching up with old friends, celebrating Katie and Bill’s marriage and dancing my heart out! Aren’t weddings the best? Now I just need this day of travel to go smoothly and it will have been the perfect trip…

Cycle Chic

Thu, 02 Jun 2011 00:00:00 +0000

I don’t own a bike, but I wish I did. With my work just a couple miles from my home, biking would be a brilliant way to get around… especially if I looked this chic (and had this bicycle)! Are you a cyclist? Be sure to check out this Vogue feature where they asked Lily Cole, Agyness Deyn, Hanneli Mustaparta, and Pamela Love, for their tried-and-tested tips on how to pull together looks for pedaling through the city.

My Travel Essentials

In just a few hours I’ll be on my way to America’s Dairyland (aka Wisconsin)! Here is everything I need when I travel, outside of my suitcase… (that’s another story).

A soft, slouchy tee (T by Alexander Wang is my absolute favorite, James Perse is also wonderful, but pricey)
A warm colorful scarf (love this DVF one)
Sunglasses (I don’t go anywhere without my Ray-Ban Wayfarers)
A magazine (how gorgeous does Reese look on the cover of May’s Vogue?)
Comfortable jeans (in winter I’d wear my black jeggings because they are so comfortable, but I like something lighter for spring)
A large tote (I’m obsessed with my Botkier, but this Vanessa Bruno is great too)
A good book (planning to start Ghost Wars this trip)
A light jacket (I have a great Nine West that looks just like this Helmut Lang)
My iPhone (I have close to 3,000 songs on mine – am currently listening to Mumford & Sons, Ray LaMontagne, Florence + the Machine, Diana Ross, Adele, The Tallest Man On Earth and Herbie Hancock)
Flats (my favorite are nude ballet flats – would love these Blochs)
Eyeliner (I like to retouch when I land and nothing is better than this NARS eyeliner pen, I promise! Instant glam…)
Lipstick (I haven’t tried the Dior Addict lipstick yet, but I’m dying to)

What do you think? Did I miss anything? What are your go-to airport and travel essentials?

Spring Break

While I certainly appreciate having today off for President’s day, I miss the days when we’d get a whole week for spring break. Who wants a vacation?

Quoting Keira

“In this business, fame lasts for a second. You can be blown up and be blown down. People keep losing interest in faces because new ones come along every single second. I’m one at the moment. Tomorrow I won’t be. That’s cool. I’m not saying that when it does end, I’ll be like, ‘Yay! It’s ending.’ But I’ll move on and do something else because that’s what has to be done.” – Keira Knightley
