outfit recipe-summer plaid

July 18, 2012 |

Plaid is one of my favorite patterns to wear. It’s so classic and if done well it can also be modern and stylish, not just cowboy and farmer. Not that I don’t love those looks, obviously. This one is super lightweight which makes it great for summer and paired with my trustee Sanuks I could not be more comfortable on this lazy summer afternoon.

Kin comes to town

February 7, 2012 |

Me with Kin producer Beth LeManach. I'm wearing one of today's featured looks, a dress by Roberta Freymann

Today I stepped out from behind the scenes and filmed some new style segments for Kin Community. The lovely folks from Kin, a fantastic new lifestyle channel on YouTube, showed up at my door at 7am (ouch) with bagels and donuts in tow (yum), ready to shoot five separate segments, each with a different wardrobe change.  I was so nervous, but Beth and the rest of her team made me feel completely at ease, and I have total faith they will be able to cut around all of my awkwardness to make a couple of great segments featuring my favorite Spring and Summer looks. The one I’m wearing here is from Roberta Freymann, and it’s my go-to Spring event outfit-perfect for baby showers, Mother’s Day brunch, Easter and all other Springtime fetes.

Here’s a peak behind the scenes today, and keep a look out for the segments to air on Kin within the next couple of weeks.

Today's location-our living room.
