‘Janice’ Soutache Trim Shift Dress, Lilly Pulitzer After I wore this dress on-air, my sister-in-law bought it in three different colors (the price point is pretty reasonable!). And every time she wears one, she says women come up to her and tell her how great it looks. While the navy and coral (featured below) is no …
New Julian Printed Two Jersey Wrap Dress, DVF This is another DVF dress that’s a bit shorter than the typical knee-length wrap dress. It’s super stretchy (blend of viscose/spandex) which makes it super comfy and something you could wear all day. I love the orange and white bold serpent pattern!

I rarely get to work with makeup artist Chanty LaGrana, but when I do, I know it’s going to be a good day. I know my facial features will be enhanced and perfected to the point where it would be impossible to not feel pretty. This woman has a sweet soul, a calming demeanor and …

I spent two days in Istanbul and loved every moment of it. Now I understand why it’s considered the gateway to Asia. This city is a feast for the eyes and it’s the perfect combination of new and old, West and East. When we first arrived, we took a tour along the Bosphorus, which divides …
Day six of my cruise was a much needed relaxing day at sea as we continued to head north up the coast of Turkey from Kusadasi toward our final destination: Istanbul. After sleeping in until 9am, I had a light breakfast of fruit and cream of wheat. I learned how to fold towels into animals …
Models always seem to snap the perfect pose and perfect picture… so why can’t you and I do it? Turns out we can… or at least try and have fun doing it in the process. I can’t make you five inches taller, but I can share some of those model poses you see in magazines. …
Day five of my cruise took me a little farther north up the Aegean Sea to the seaside town of Kusadasi (pronounced Ku-sha-da-see).
