Art, Fashion, and Bubbly...All For a Great Cause!!!

Last night we had the pleasure of attending Labels For Love Modus Union 2010 at the Renaissance Mayflower Hotel. The night was amazing with live art, headed by my friend, Maggie O'Neill of O'Neill Studios and then a fabulous fashion show from Lela Rose's Spring 2010 collection. Not only did we get to enjoy all of the eye candy from Maggie and Lela, but it went to a great cause, Center for Heart, Lung and Kidney Disease at Children's National Medical Center.

Linda and I were lucky to attend with the lovely Carine Krawiec of Carine's Bridal Atelier. It was great to catch up with her on all of the upcoming trunk stores at her salon, and get her expert opinions on the fashions as they came down the runway!

Take a peak at some of the out of this world creations that Maggie O'Neill had up for auction!

My personal favorite, I want these shoes hanging on my wall, and in my closet!

The New Year's Resolutions I Wish I Had

Happy New Year! This is the time of year where everyone's favorite question is "What is your resolution?". The classic answers that usually top the list are exercise, spend more time with family, eat healthy, save money, etc.....all things that our conscience urges us to do daily throughout the year. I stumbled upon this list of resolutions on Luxist, and I thought, why isn't my New Year's Resolution this fun?!?!?
Eat Pizza on Your Fine China and Other New Year's Resolutions
Cleaning diamonds, drinking champagne and getting massages sound like resolutions I could definitely stick to all year long. Oh well, maybe next year...for now I am off to the gym!
