Outfit inspiration: Black on Black

I usually love a lot of color but sometimes an all black outfit can be the quickest way to a chic look when inspiration is failing you.

Bump it Up, The Ultimate Maternity Style Guide

I get a lot of questions from clients, readers and friends and family about maternity style. Dressing your changing body throughout and after pregnancy is a major challenge. Finally, preggers everywhere have a style guide to help them through the difficulty. Style expert, Amy Tara Koch has just released her buzzed-about pregnancy style bible, Bump It Up: Transform you Pregnancy into the Ultimate Style Statement and will be in DC this Sunday to celebrate the launch. Details above. See you there!

Loving Right Now: Embellished sandals

What's not to love about flat, functional, and fashionable sandals? My hunt for new spring/summer sandals for my wardrobe this season has prompted me to tell you all that they are a must-have in your closets as well! And they are sprouting up in about every store that sells shoes with all different designs for everyone to find a little something they love about them. Whether you have an edgy side and like the rocker studs, a glam side and want to add some sparkle to your feet, or a boho chic side with the earthy tones and beaded details, there is a pair of flat (or slightly wedged) embellished sandals out there calling your name!
