black and sparkle and lace

I promise, you guys, as soon as it gets a little warmer out, I'm going to take photos somewhere other than our roofdeck! But when it's still cold enough in NYC that I can't go outside without a coat, it's tough to find a place that rivals an outdoor spot that's 30 seconds away from our cozy, heated apartment.

This is the Elie Tahari dress I pulled for my television segment last week, but since I didn't get to talk about it on the air, I figured I had to give it a post of its own. The dress is regularly knee-lenth, but I tucked some of the skirt into this Intermix belt to shorten it a little bit, just to make the length a little bit more fun. It's hard to be 5'3" sometimes!

Did you guys all watch the Academy Awards last night? There's nothing like the Oscars red carpet to infuse a little glamor into a dreary February. And I have an amazing project starting tomorrow -- I can't wait for you guys to see it!

Plus, stay tuned for an extra special giveaway on Monday! It may be March, but Oscar season isn't quite over yet!
