Festive Feet

Often times when I am planning an outfit for a holiday or occasion, my brain goes to shoes first. Maybe, it's because I am obsessed with shoes? Likely, but, more so because shoes are what really completes the look. When I feel confident in the shoes, it makes it easier to feel confident in everything else that follows. The dress, blouse, it should all look great if the shoes look great with it! Here is a list of some of my favorite Christmas and New Years worthy shoes on the high and the low. xo RCN

Golden Globes 2017: Top 12

There were an array of gowns last night that were dreamy, straight out of a fairy tale. Many were delicately embellished and created with chiffon, fine tulle, ruffles, peplums, and tiered layering. The stand out looks all had a softness and sparkling, romantic, delightful touch that paired well with the magic of the evening. 

 No doubt, there are always some amazing styles and some tragic looks on the carpet. And, all of us watching have opinions about it, of course. The dresses that have a little something extra and stand-out, slightly, or those that nail down classic elegance, tend to be my favorites. After all, I love a great fashion risk or a stunningly classy lady. Here are some of my picks for the most fabulous gowns and looks from last night. Congrats to all the style winners. My number one goes to Felicity Jones in Gucci and a close follow up with Drew Barrymore in Monique Lhullier. What was you favorite gown? Leave a note in comments below! xo RCN

Art Inspiring Fashion

The world renowned art festival and show, Art Basel, is happening now in Miami from November 30- Dec. 4th. Hundreds and thousands of art collectors, buyers, lovers and exhibitors flood Miami with new culture and pulsing excitement each year for this event. The city becomes filled with those chasing to discover and wanting to share new works of art. I find it all quite thrilling and inspiring. Often, I am influenced in fashion by the street art and surroundings of this city, but this week the environment in Miami has me at a whole new level. The pictures from my latest visit to the Wynwood neighborhood show how I love to immerse myself in the scenery and vibes of what's happening. So, the question of the day is what to wear tonight? I will not be venturing into Wynwood, where these latest fashion pics were taken amongst graffiti lined streets, but I am headed to an art show in South Beach called Aqua Art Miami. There will be almost 50 International exhibitors at this show, with sculptural, two dimensional works, instalation design, video art and more. What to wear? Color or lack there of? I'll be sure to update you tomorrow on my Basel look of the day. I am still deciding at the moment. Any suggestions? xo RCN
