CFDA Awards 2016: Beyonce, Jennifer Hudson, Jessica Chastain, Olivia Palermo, and more

The halter tops. The trains that start at the arms. The David Bowie tribute. Cut-outs galore? The amount of fashionistas that wore Michael Kors? Yup, that was the CFDA Awards this year in a nutshell. The fashion kick-off to summer event even produced a very “Prince-looking” honoree – Beyonce (although I think she was supposed to be going for a Michael Jackson look?)

The Way To Go High Low: Breeze Through Summer In Eyelet

There are certain trends that just never die; cozy layers in the fall and cashmere sweaters in the winter. For these warm summer months, it’s all about eyelet. There’s no easier way to pull off a dainty, ladylike look than with a touch of the breezy fabric.

The Robe: A Summer Wardrobe Essential

As you already know, I’m all about pajama dressing. I love that the lingerie-as-daywear trend has legs and it’s not just for the festival loving 20-somethings either! Wear a mid length silky robe as a jacket or a longer style on cool summer evenings. Look for a satin or silk in solid black or a pattern that speaks to you (like florals or stripes). Be careful to avoid the telltale lace trim or it will be a dead giveaway the robe is really meant to stay indoors. Wear your robe open with the belt tied in the back as an over coat with a simple and fitted outfit underneath like skinny jeans and a tank, or my favorite…a silk sleeveless jumpsuit. Or you can wear a robe tied as a dress…as long as it hits past the knee. You are NOT to old to rock this effortless look. Trust me, I wear my robe in public all the time…and I’m pretty sure I look chic, not homeless.

Pair it with this lightweight longline camel duster coat from Boohoo.

The Recap And Fashion Drama of The RHONY Season 8: Ep 9

I love a short week! Then the Real Housewives of New York comes on sooner. That makes sense right? I’m watching too much reality TV, obviously. It’s making me dumb (so my husband says). Anyway, this week’s episode opens back at Dorinda’s house in the Berkshires (in case you forgot LuMann and Bethenny were going at it over Skinny Girl). Now stay alert because this week’s episode is like watching a game of ping pong.
