What's your favorite pattern this season… Stripes, floral or totally tribal?

KK:  I will be saluting stripes this spring season.  I will be sporting the nautical look, whether it is a Breton-top paired with jeans and a cute jacket or one of these striped dresses paired with a belt.  This classic look will never go out of style.

Maternity and New Mom: Maternity Work Wear

Posted By: KK on 02/24/10 3:14 AM | Categories: Maternity and New Mom

Maternity work wear is all about clever mixing and
matching. Invest in comfortable pants and shoes while focusing on your
neck line for a polished look. A crisp white shirt with a cardigan is
always a great choice. I love this Isabelle Oliver tie front blouse.
The detail makes this look both contemporary and sharp.

Travel: Travel: One Night in Paris

Posted By: KK on 02/19/10 5:38 AM | Categories: Travel

One night in Paris? Start it off with a little Hôtel Costes. Get your Godard on by sitting under the stars in the courtyard eating sole meunière avec haricots verts, listening to the ever-so-cool beats. Even the—how do you say?—odor of the place is somehow romantique. Après, take your little black dress out for a spin at Le Baron and try not to feel French frisking round the dance floor in a pair of mesh heels. Still feeling up for a twirl post-Baron? Head to the Pink Paradise for a nightcap and a bit of burlesque. And then… Bonne nuit!

Check out our look on the FABULOUS website Girls Guide to Paris.
