944 Magazine Party

I got into my car around 6:30 last night to go to a 944 Magazine Party in West Hollywood. Once inside, I noticed a considerable hole in my dashboard...someone had stolen my stereo out of my car, which was in the driveway! Once I got to Sunset, I could not find the party because they had written the wrong address on the invite. I finally got there though and once I did I was happy to see the beautiful display of photos by Cathryn Rose.


Salvage Life's clothing was featured in the photos.

The Sleeves Have It

Beyonce arrives at the premiere of Cadillac Records held at The Egyptian Theater on November 24, 2008 in Hollywood, California.

Veronica Webb attends the opening night celebration of the New York City Ballet at David H. Koch Theater, Lincoln CenterNew York, November 25, 2008

Paula Patton arrives at 51st Annual GRAMMY Awards at Staples Center, Los Angeles on February 8, 2009

Puffed up sleeves seem to be all the rage these days. If you thought you'd left pink, frilly, puff-sleeved birthday dresses behind you think again. Now you can wear them in black for the after party. Take your cue from Beyonce, Veronica and Paula. They prove that any trend can be modernized. The sleeves definitely have it. See below for some inspiration.

My Picks!

Big isn't always better. So if you're apprehensive about donning voluminous sleeves, opt for dresses with subtler "puffs". This look is great for those who want to take a little risk with their style choices but not look too fashion conscious. My favorite has to be green dress from Forever 21's "Twelve by Twelve" line. For $42, you simply can't go wrong!

The Summer Scarf

Has anyone else noticed the Hollywood trend that has spread like wild fire in H-town? If not, you will now. Summer scarves my friends. There couldn't be a more perfect choice for the in between seasons of Houston's nutty, vacillating climate. Here are some different ways you can try it...

EASTER DECOR

I can't believe Easter is already almost here! I guess decorating is out for this year. I still like to look at pictures though. Here are a few from MarthaStewart.com.

The Key to Looking Fabulous

For some reason I have been enthralled with antique keys as of late. I think it started when I saw an add for Tiffany's key necklaces (above) in a magazine the other day. Always the tight wad, I went looking for something just as lovely, and not as pricey.

Here's a fabulous variety of key necklaces I found from Houston's Just Peachy, and the prices are AMAZING! See for yourself!

Terry Leavitt-Chavez at Gallery 3

Alright guys, I've got a fantastic Houston artist that you've got to check out this weekend. Her name is Terry Leavitt-Chavez, and her work is dynamite. For the past five years, she's had successful shows in some of the greatest Houston galleries, and she is already a well known name amongst Houston art gurus. She's originally from Chi-town, but has been a Houstonian for 13 years. My favorite thing about her is that she has an Old English Sheepdog named Prada, and Persian named Versace. Pet Lover+Fashion Lover=my new favorite person
You can see her exhibit Abstract Attractions this Saturday, April 4th from 5-9 at Gallery 3.
