Anticipation

Photobucket
Shoes: Nine West
Dress: Vintage Stephen Burrows from the amazing vintage collection at Selima on Bond Street. I want to think this dress spent some quality time at Studio 54 back in the day!

With one week to go before the Our Time Gala, I've finally begun to assemble an outfit, and I thought I'd share a little sneak peak ;)

Still on my to-do list: Hair and makeup. I haven't had my hair cut since November (eeks!) and I can't remember the last time I wore something other than lip gloss on my face. Looks like it's time for my annual, festivity-inspired makeover! I'll keep you posted...

Also, what are the boys wearing?!?!?

UPDATE: I forgot to mention this when I first posted, but tickets to the event are still available. Also, the online auction is still live and some fabulous new items have been listed, so check it out.

  5. How fun!! We went to a black tie optional dinner on Saturday and I soaked in all the fancy and the toasting and the chandeliers and cute handbags.

    Have you seen the ties for baby boys on etsy? So cute. With a little dinner coat? LOL.

  7. i didn't know i could admire you anymore, but i do.

    i just went to your husband's website for Our Time and my eyes are filling with tears. our 5 year old is going to a speech evaluation tomorrow & although we've been doing exactly what the site's "stuttering 101" encourages, this will be the first "official" acknowledgement out loud of it. [not that we were ignoring it or think it is bad, it has just been a part of her and we have been accepting, patient and loving--of course!]

    anyway, i love what you are are doing with Our Time and if i were anywhere close to NYC, i'd snatch up a ticket to the gala and be there, too!

  9. I too also really admire the work your husband is doing, but at the risk of sounding so superficial: I am drooling over those shoes! Those are hot mama shoes!
    Best,
    Tina

  11. You are going to look fabulous (as you always do).

    And I can't believe that you were only wearing lip gloss in all of the recent photos you've published here! You are the very definition of a "natural beauty." :)
