Seeing Red

There's no color sexier than red. It's the hue that invokes passion, lust and love. And it's even been said that the shade can not only inspire action in yourself and others when its worn, but wearing it also increases your chances of being noticed and hired during job interviews! Yes, it's one tough-as-nails color, but that doesn't stop us from messing around with it!

Monochromatic Christmas: Red

Sadly, this is the final installment of the monochromatic Christmas special. And it's not because I didn't love doing it, but because the holiday season is fast approaching its end already! Though I haven't had quite as much time this year to do Christmassy things, I've been so in the holiday spirit, it seems kind of sad that there are only a couple more days of festivities to look forward to! Anyway, please enjoy these photos of the most classic Christmas decor color, and merry holidays, lovelies! May you all get everything you wished for and then some!

Paris Via Vegas

Okay darlings, not to brag or anything, but I’m currently packing my jet-away luggage for one heck of a glamorous event: the Daytime Emmy Awards! The excitement is happening this Sunday at the Hilton Hotel in Las Vegas, and I’ll be front and center for all the elegant, enticing and over-the-top drama-filled moments. Of course, during the fancy soap opera fun, I’ll take the opportunity to slip in time at some of my favorite Vegas-style Parisian hot spots.

Paris Las Vegas just introduced their new Red Room premier and luxury suites, a definite must see for any lover of regal accommodations.

Your mouth will explode in fascination just entering Le Cirque, a contemporary French restaurant at the Bellagio. Trust me, it’s worth every penny.

Au revoir for now, and I’ll let you know if the Emmy celebration was a smashing event (and fill you in on what the queen of daytime, Susan Lucci, was wearing, of course! She’ll be presenting the Lifetime Achievement Award to All My Children creator Agnes Nixon!).
