From Liz Claiborne:
Of course, the city is all atweet about the new First Dog, Bo, a Portuguese water dog that’s about six months old. We can hardly wait to hear all the details — the dog walking, the dog feeding and, especially, the White Housetraining (we nearly had an “accident” ourselves, when we saw the puppy, because he is so cute). Apparently the official unveiling is to come tomorrow, if you believe the leaks. No pun intended. OK, maybe it was. But we’re to be forgiven, because as if the puppy wasn’t enough, yesterday was Easter Sunday, which meant the President and First Lady attended church. The President wore a pinstripe suit and a silver tie, but enough about him.
First, the critical info: Easter is April 12. If you still need to buy Easter dresses, it’s crunch time. The Style Insider sees two ways this can go. You can put your daughter(s) in the car, traipse from store to store, show them everything you want them to wear (at which they will roll their eyes), veto everything they want to wear (at which they will whine and moan), and then find a compromise no one is really happy about. Or you can shop online. Good decision.
You’ve found the party dress and the perfect shoes. You’ve scheduled the mani-pedi and pulled out your cute evening clutch. You are paparazzi-worthy, except for one thing. What is that around your neck? No, no, no. A dress like that demands a necklace worthy of your décolletage. It must shimmer in the light and reflect the twinkle in your eyes.
If you’re one of the beautiful people planning to attend a lavish, fancy, glittering New Year’s Eve gala, you may stop reading now (or quickly turn to our New Year’s Eve 101 class). If, however, you are one of the many who have become very frugal of late, and are going to a simple, small party in a friend’s home, then read on. New Year’s Eve is all about friends, fun, the past and the future. But we know what’s really on your mind: Who are you going to be kissing when the Times Square ball drops? We’ve found some lipsticks that will leave any man begging for more. Basically, there are two ways to show up at a New Year’s Eve party: One is wearing the safe look (as in black dress, black tights, black pumps). The second is to be amazing. Needless to say, we prefer you go for the latter. The only way to pull that off is with a pair of strut-your-stuff, fantastic shoes they’ll buzz about long after you stroll out the door.
