Carousel by Vanessa Carlton

Last night I got to FINALLY see Vanessa Carlton in concert at the 9:30 Club! I've been a fan of hers since I was in high school and basically, she figures pretty prominently into the soundtrack of my life. This song is pretty and romantic and now officially on my iPod for the fall. Enjoy!

On Compromise

"Don't compromise yourself.  You are all you've got."

Style Icon: Katharine Hepburn

For years I've admired Jackie Kennedy for her style, grace and poise.  When I go shopping I focus on color and classic separates in an attempt to emulate her traditional style.

But lately, I've been focusing on Katharine Hepburn.  You have to be blind to not realize that palazzo pants are back in a big way and with that comes the inevitable comparisons to Hepburn (of the Katharine variety) style.

As a fellow redhead, she's been on my radar for far longer.  I've always respected her lady-like style and only recently feel woman enough to pull it off. Everything she wears in A Philadelphia Story has a wonderful modern edge that you see echoed from DVF to Donna Karan.  It's a focus on fit and lady-like elegance.  You can't help but look amazing!
