ttF Fashion Diary: NYFW Heart Truth Red Dress

ttF Fashion Staple: Velvet Blazer and Gemstone Brooch
Tonight, I kicked off fashion week at the Heart Truth Red Dress show. Last year, I appropriately went with a red dress. This year, I honestly forgot and instead went with a teal mini I wore back at fashion week in September. To make it more winter friendly, I went monochromatic with matching tights and a blazer. Evette Rios, who was on the carpet for Rachael Ray, said she liked my peacock colors. Still, I felt bad for not wearing the hue of the night.

Luckily, I was able to show my support by adding an extra brooch to my outfit. As one of the sponsors of the charity event, Swarovski included heart shaped pins in the goodie bags. So I quickly put mine on before taking my seat across from Top Model triple threat: Mr. Jay, Miss Jay and Nigel Barker, who now has hair! If you look closely you can see him behind me below.

ttF Fashion Staple: Gemstone Brooch
A brooch is on of the most versatile pieces of jewelry. You can wear it as a pin, on a headband, as a necklace and on a belt. Today, I wrapped an old ribbon belt around a floral dress and used this month’s staple to fasten it in place. It made the patterned background a little more luxe. Even though it’s gorgeous and warm in LA, my office is always freezing so I paired my chunky sandals with tights to bring in the blue of the DIYed belt. All I can think about is the cold I’m going to experience tomorrow as I head to New York for fashion week!

ttF Fashion Staples Month #12 Summary: December Glitz
I can’t believe the year is over! It feels like just yesterday I decided to begin the year-long ttF Fashion Staples Series. And now I’m done with the final month (not to fear, due to requests from many readers I’ll be continuing the series into 2011).

I wanted to go glam for my last month in 2010. So I based my December Staples around luxe materials. The vest seemed to be a reader favorite. I kept getting tweets from my followers that they bought the same one! I hope everyone who now owns one wears it well.

Here’s the breakdown for December…

ttF Fashion Staples Series Diary: All Tied Up
When I lived in London for a year, my favorite place to shop was Portobello Road. The market had so many goodies, like this cameo brooch I bought my mother for Christmas. Five years later I learn she doesn’t like cameos! So I’ve taken my present back and put it to good use. I’ve worn this sheer top many ways but the pin really makes it special.
