Oscars....

This is the dress I would wear if I had gone to the Oscars....SO beautiful, as far as red carpet gowns go...drapy, flattering, not over-done but WOW, what a statement!

And to the afterparty...I would wear this gorgeous cocktail dress:

Both dresses are by Derek Lam...so beautiful and you must check out his spring 09 collection!

PS...I posted this on my personal blog simply b/c I didn't take the time to finish the outfit with shoes, bag etc...But they are too beautiful not to share!

Labor of Love

Tonight, Dustin is emceeing a fundraiser for eXile International, an organization that raises money to do art therapy with the lost children Africa. This evening is a night of music, art and salsa dancing...yep, they will even be offering salsa classes. You can check out the line up of musicians, because not only many of them my lovely, bomb-diggity friends, but they are super talented and you may just find yourself some new music that you love.

Check out each and every one and let me know what you think:
Britten Newbill
Johnnyswim
Katie Herzig
Sam and Ruby So, here are some super clear phone pics from last night...gotta love my skills with the camera!

I would love feed back...and I'll post other great music from Nashville in the future...so come and listen!

Panache Styling

So, Erin has completely disowned me and cancelled my link from her blog simply because I have not kept up with my blog. Apparently all of her friends have read my one story and so, and I quote, "if you are not going to be a responsible, participating party than I won't have a link to you..." Erin.

All that to say, let me do a little catch you up on what I've been doing. A few months ago, I started styling several photo shoots which snowballed into the a new company that I've begun. My gorgeous and creative friend Annie joined me and we now have our styling team called Panache. You can check out our website here which is under renovations now but will give you an idea of what we are doing.

Basically, a typical day involves shopping for a photo shoot or an individual who wants style guidance and then we bring in a garment rack full of new clothes and accessories and make outfits for our client. If you're lucky, we'll put you in a our stylin' sunglasses and Michael Jackson gloves!

If you visit Nashville Lifestyles you can read my monthly fashion column that I co-write with another friend. In the March issue, I have a 4 page fashion editorial spread and an article about the launch of Panache. So, I'll keep blogging...and please keep checking back!

I hope I did the "links" correctly...let me know if I screwed it up!

Here's one more pic...cause pictures are fun! This is a photo shoot we did for KMA jewelry for advertising and this is one of my favorites!
