Ravishing Rose

Not all the stars attend the Academy Awards ceremony.  Some go straight to the Vanity Fair Oscars party like Rose Byrne who looked amazing.  I just got my hair cut Friday but after seeing her chic shoulder grazing do, I wish I had gone shorter.  I'm also loving her bright bright pinky red lipstick.  For a similar look try Magnetic Magenta by Estee Lauder or Aphrodisiac by Tom Ford. 

I live by a man's code, designed to fit a man's world, 

yet at the same time I never forget that a woman's first job

 is to choose the right shade of lipstick.

Grey Day

After four days of lovely weather in San Francisco, this grey Monday is a little depressing.  I'm not ready to be back in boots and tights and coats. As I've mentioned before, my winter wardrobe consists of various shades of grey.  It looks less harsh than all black but plays nicely with almost all other colors.  I especially love it mixed with gold jewelry but grey rooms also look great with gold accessories.  Now I just need to find a reasonably priced vintage gold Rolex.  A girl can dream. 

My new J.Crew Collection Tartan Car Coat integrates perfectly into my grey wardrobe.  It's also super warm and chic.  It's sold out online but you can call to see if they still have it in stores. 

He's technically not wearing grey but he was too cute not to include.
