My Looks

Rainbow Brite

For our last day in Florida, I thought I'd dress up like a rainbow.

I rarely wear super-bright colors - and even more rarely wear a whole bunch of them at once - but I was inspired by my rainbow jelly sandals and the presence of palm trees to get crazy with it.

Purple bag, orange shorts, chartreuse cardigan, turquoise belt and jewelry...why not? To me, this look works because while the colors are all bright, they're also all the same kind of bright (vibrant and jewel-toned), because all of the pieces are simple shapes, and because everything is centered around a single neutral piece (that grey tank).

Fuzzy Wuzzy Was A Chameleon

Kendrick thinks that what happens to my hair in the presence of humidity is really funny.

So much so that he had me pose for a photo while pretending that I was in a 1980s Mentos ad.

It's true: I turn into a lioness in the presence of even a single atom of moisture; always have. In years past, the fluffball on top of my head has made me nuts; nowadays...less so. And this is partially because I really do try to keep my hair in good condition these days (because healthy hair = less frizzy hair), but also because of motherhood.

Some Romantic Evening

I've owned this dress for a couple of years now, and I love it so much, and yet this is the second time I have ever worn it. Because while I'm usually all for wearing whatever you want wherever you want, and generally pay very little attention to things like dress codes and occasions...this dress is pretty specific. It kind of demands to be worn in close proximity to palm trees.

It's such a romantic dress, but also surprisingly easy - almost like wearing nothing at all - which meant I wanted to keep the rest of the look simple: gold hoops, Grecian-inspired jelly sandals that are both the most comfortable things ever and super cute (they were my favorites all summer long last year, and it looks like this year will be the same), and my very stylish Club Med wristband. That's it.

Quick Trick: Hide Your Growing-Out Bangs

I love my bangs.

I also don't want to deal with them anymore.

I like the way they look when they're blown-out and the perfect length (that's them hanging out with me in a Vegas elevator last spring), but the reality is that a) I do not have time or patience to trim my bangs nearly as often as I should; and b) the second there is even a single molecule of moisture in the air, they head every direction except for the way that I would like them to.
