"It's Carrie Baby!" The initial words that come to mind when you want to go out with your gals and have an evening to "remember..." or not? Carrie (is unfortunately) the main character of popular 90's sitcom SATC, but her essence is so much more than that. Carrie's style is girly, fun, flirty, and completely OUT there. I'm not fond of Carrie but I do admire of her ability to be a total girly-girl and consistently push the envelope with her clothing choices. I, myself, am much more of tomboy!

A dress should be tight enough to prove you’re a woman, but loose enough to show you’re a lady
— Marilyn Monroe

My good friend, and obvious fashion guru, Kristine Constantino convinced me to push my limits and go in a direction I would normally shy away from - what do you guys think? "It' Carrie Baby!" Even though I view myself as much more of a Samantha ;)

DVF ---> HYFR

DVF, three letters, one acronym, with a meaning of epic proportions. For those less familiar you are probably reading this post thinking, DVF, WTF? Let's begin at the beginning (what a concept!) with a small European country that has blessed the world with it's existence in a multitude of ways. I have always been a fan of Belgium and all the pleasures it has brought me in life: Chimay, Brussels, just to name a few. However,  Belgium born fashion icon/designer Diane Von Furstenberg is at the top of the list.  DVF's most notable accomplishment would hands down be the invention of: The Wrap Dress. The wrap dress elicits much of it's grandeur from being flattering on any female figure. Since the weather is starting to smile at us more each day, a DVF dress-icle is a must have essential for a summertime sans sadness (sorry Lana!)
