GOLDEN GLOBE DRESS REVIEW

***************MY FAVORITES***************


Freida Pinto, in Christian Lacroix. I am obsessed with the color chartreuse lately. I wish I could find this fabric because I really need it for my Baby's room!


Rumer Willis, in Reem Acra. I love this wine colored gown, though I could have done without the belt.


Evan Rachel Wood, in vintage Elie Saab. Usually black is boring, but the textures and tiers make this dress interesting and surprisingly do not add unnecessary pounds.


Elizabeth Banks, in J. Mendel. This nude number has ultra flattering lines, perfect decoltage and sweeping hemline.


Drew Barrymore, in Dior. Though it reminds me a bit of one of those pastel colored q-tips or cotton balls, I love the retro risk that Drew took with this one. I think she pulls it off fabulously!

**************MY LEAST FAVORITES***************


Renée Zellweger, in Carolina Herrera. I don't know how Renee made it out of the house without someone telling her that her dress was on backwards!


Eva Mendes, in Christian Dior. Would have been nice if the bow wasn't so large. She looks like she might tip over!


Jennifer Lopez, in Marchesa. She already wore a shorter version of this dress in green. Live in the now!


Cameron Diaz, in Chanel. It looks like someone spit their gum out to make this dress...and what is happening with the grown out highlights?


Heidi Klum. If she is pregnant, I might let this one slide, but I scoured the internet and found no evidence thus far. There is no greater faux pas then looking pregnant when you aren't. Only time will tell.

Doggy DNA

WHAT KIND OF DOG IS DAISY?

Promise not to laugh? I had a DNA test done on my beautiful mutt Daisy. That's right, get Maury Povich on the phone, it's doggy DNA. The vet takes a blood sample, and sends it to a lab for a Wisdom Panel mixed breed analysis . A few weeks later, they unlock one of our very own mysteries of the universe. People constantly ask us what she is, and we just had find out.

So what do YOU think she might be? To be eligible, just guess 1 predominant breed, and leave it for us as a comment. Be sure to check back, because the winner might actually get a little prize. Correct answer will be announced January 19th!

A new year always seems to bring about new talent. While hunting for a new clutch, I came across these perfect little handmade bags by Atty Myer. At only $24 a piece, I highly suggest stocking up on every style.

Vaughan Christopher Gallery

(pictured above from the left: Andrew McNevin, Holly Vogt Wilkison, Me, and Houston Hayes)

One of my absolute favorite things from this past year, was the opening of the Vaughan Christopher Gallery. It was perfectly orchestrated by A Fare Extraordinaire down to every last electric green Warhol Cocktail (I was on Warholtini #4 in the picture above...don't judge me). The gallery was filled with dozens of seasonal white flowers, to-die-for delicious catering, and brilliant orange accents sprinkled throughout (the servers even wore skinny orange ties..so mod!). Lucky for Houston's Weekly Chic, Ginger Wright, one of the gallery owners agreed to give us a very quick Q&A. Enjoy...

Why did you choose to open a gallery in Houston, as opposed to a different city?
It is where I/we live and have established my/our lives.

What is your favorite piece that you own?
My favorite piece that the gallery owns is by Matisse, Dancers. However, my favorite art piece changes on a daily basis, so that would be today's answer!

Pick one artist that you love.
That would be impossible for me.

Pick one artist that you hate.
I do not hate any artist.

What do you enjoy doing outside of spending every last minute of your day running a gallery?
Spending time with friends and family

What would you like the average Houstonian to know about Vaughan Christoper Gallery?
We have a fabulous collection of Master works that the average person can find and afford.
