What to buy at the Serena & Lily Summer Style Event? Love these Dip Dyed Stools for the bath.  The French Tassel Shower Curtains are super chic. I personally would like to see two hanging. And there are some fab finds on sale in bedding and bath. I especially love the Gobi Towel Collection. Save 20% on everything with 

Code: GOCOASTAL

Perhaps hard to believe, but my favorite sheets are from Macy's! It's there Charter Club Damask Solid Supima Cotton 550-Thread Count Bedding Collection. They are the perfect weight....certainly not lightweight....we triple sheet our beds like the high end hotels. These sheets wear fabulously, feel silky and look expensive. Best yet, they are on sale now, and you can take an Extra 20% off with

Surely you have read that Chemical Sunscreens go right into your bloodstream. It's appalling to me. Doctors don't know about this fact. Do the research. Here'a good article at GOOP.  I always use the EWG Skin Deep database to check all of my skincare. It's a great source. My favorite, Juice Beauty Sport Sunscreen, rates extremely 
safe in the database.

A recent doctor's visit with blood tests showed that I had a huge Vitamin D insufficiency. I am doing my best to get an hour of full sunshine every day. I feel so much better. Get out there, friends. Use mineral sunscreen and enjoy.

What To Wear To A Spring Wedding

{ Via: Tiffany LaBelle }

Happy Spring, my friends! I already have two invitations for Spring weddings. If you are like me, the first thought you might have when opening the invite is "What will I wear?"  A few rules of thumb: If the invitation states, Black Tie or Cocktail Attire, they want you to dress up. One needs to honor that request. Unpack that everyday heavy handbag. A chic clutch is more appropriate. And finally, it should go without saying that you don't wear the same color as the bride. As always, this edit includes styles and a few accessories for every budget.

The Asymmetrical Wrap

Refined elegance and so pretty in pink. Gorgeous at under $300

Intermix

Neiman Marcus

Milly Italian Caddy Dress

We all need a new Little black dress every once in a while. Here's yours for Spring. The sheer dotted sleeves and neckline add a lovely lightness to the dress.

Golden Globe Glam: How To Get Your Own

The stars came out in glamorous style for the 72nd Golden Globe Awards. I was entertained every minute of the red carpet and the show. What ever are we going to do without Tina Fey and Amy Poehler? Their only misstep, in my opinion, were the jokes about Bill Cosby. I just don't think there is anything funny about that situation.  

To be honest, It really is the glam, the beauty, fashion, and accessories that interests me the most. So here is my take on the best of glam at the Globes. Just scroll through and click to get your own Golden Glam look!

~ Fashion ~

Emma Stone in a Lanvin "Playsuit"
With a swashbuckling side sash, this Lanvin look sparkled while looking fresh, modern, youthful, and fashion forward. I also think an ankle length pant is always chic. Jumpsuits are a fun option for evening.
You can count on standing out in a crowd. 

HERE: A few evening jumpsuits worth considering - Diane Von Furstenberg's Caroline Embellished Jumpsuit at Nordstrom's. Valentino's Cutout wool and silk-blend crepe jumpsuit now on Sale at Net-a Porter, and ZUHAIR MURAD'S Lace Jumpsuit at Stylebop

Julianne Moore
The Best Actress winner wore a custom couture Givenchy gown with silver sequins and feather detail. She sparkled and shined on the Red Carpet. The look was all starlet. I have long loved feathers for dress up. Here are a few dresses with fab feathers for your own wardrobe: 

Ann Taylor's Feathered Hem Dress. You won't believe the price of this chic sheath! See it at Ann Taylor. This Feather-Bodice Crepe Gown by Roland Mouret is red carpet worthy at Neiman Marcus. My favorite is, St. John Collection's Organza Fil Coupe Shift Dress, which is so sophisticated at Nordstrom

Taylor Schilling
Red was the color of the night, and that is a bit unusual on a Red Carpet. I think that Taylor Schilling did it best in Ralph Lauren. I have had worn red several times to special events. Have to say, I had the best time in doing so! If you want to jump on the crimson wave, here are a few standout styles for you to consider. 

Cut25 by Yigal Azrouel's One Shoulder Gown at Shopbop is slender instead of full, but it still makes a big statement. MARCHESA's Embroidered Tulle Ball Gown would certainly be a hit on the Red Carpet. See the Trunk Show at Moda Operandi (ends in 3 days) And this Marilyn Ballgown by Nika is a good choice for less than $500 at E-Dress Me

Naomi Watts

There  was lots of buzz about Naomi's yellow Gucci dress. Sorry, I just don't like blondes in yellow. If it wasn't for that Bulgari Serpenti diamond necklace, it was a lackluster look.  Here are a few snappy snakes that are sure to make a style statement for your next red carpet moment, for a fraction of the cost. 

So loving Alexis Bittar's Imperial Noir Lucite Snake Necklace now on sale at Saks.  Then there is this really good looking multi chain Crystal Draped Snake Necklace by Jardin, which is really well priced at JCPenny. Roberto Coin's 18k White Gold Diamond Snake Necklace probably best matches the Bulgari necklace in quality. See it at Neiman Marcus

Heidi Klum

Heidi really bought her A game and dazzled like a star on the Red Carpet. Loved her handful of rings! Get the look with these rings by Meira T at Saks, A really affordable Diamonique Bypass Ring in Sterling at QVC and Tamara Comolli's Diamond Pave Sloppy Ring. Trust me, there is nothing sloppy about this brilliant bauble! See it at Marissa Collections.

Kelly Osbourne
Say what you want about Kelly, but she practices what she preaches, and has fun with her look.  Kelly is a joy to watch on Fashion Police. She took a moment to make a memory, and play paparazzi with her clever camera clutch designed by Judith Leiber. You can find a chic collection of these expensive but elegant bags at Neiman Marcus - so many chic choices from cool cats to fab fish. Most of her handbags are $1,000 and up. 

Here are some less pricy picks:  Always be camera ready with Ashlyn'd Cameron's Acrylic Crossbody Camera Bag. A must have for "your-selfie!" Now on Sale at Shopbop.  The Karl Camera Clutch  is the perfect playful companion at Matches Fashion. I'm just crazy about these Papa Razzi bags. Many to choose from and all less than $100 at yoox

~ Beauty ~

Rosamund Pike
The "Gone Girl" arrived in a barely there dress that did not impress. But she has just had a baby within the last six weeks, so I'll give her a pass. As wrong as her outfit was, the natural face and hair were beyond beautiful.  My research tells me that  Oscar Blandi Polishing Glossing Creme was used on the bouncy bob. Her lipstick was CHANEL ROUGE COCO SHINE Hydrating Sheer Lipshine in Ingenue. See it at Nordstrom.

Lupita Nyong'o
Her dress was a miss, I thought. Pretty, yes, but just a bit too much going on, for me. But her makeup was one of my favorite beauty looks of the night.  It perfectly matched her Giambattista Valli gown. 

She wore the stunning Lancome lipstick Color Design Lipcolor in Hit List, lined it with Le Lipstique in Sheer Chocolat, and topped it off with Lancome’s Lip Lover in Framboise Etoile for a dewy finish. Her eyes were so gorgeous using Lancôme's 'Color Design' Shadow and Liner Palette in Jacaranda Bloom

Jennifer Lopez
Oh, J Low - too low! And that slit? Too high! Even though I didn't care for her Zuhair Murad gown, she did turn heads. Speaking of hair, I liked hers, and surely most of it wasn't her own. That hairdo went on for days with lots of chunky highlights. 

I have read that L'Oréal Paris Advanced Hairstyle Boost It Volume Inject Mousse was used to create the volume. As far as makeup, some didn't care for it, but makeup guru Bobbi Brown and I loved it. It was true  glam. Click HERE to see how Bobbi creates a similar rockstar eye and pale lip. You can find her smokey eye products HERE
