Now that I have almost fully recovered from my birthday, which was fabulous by the way — fun party, fun friends, oodles of goodies, including this scrumptious bag from dad and mom (so glad to have inherited her sense of style — thanks mom!!) But I digress…where was I? Oh yes, recovery. As I was saying, now that I have begun to functionally deal with the erstwhile transition deeper into my twirties, I have taken this opportunity to reflect upon my life. And by reflect I mean take a critical and unbiased look at, and by my life I mean my closet. Ergo, I have spent the past two weeks rifling through my extensive collection of stylish suits, classy coats, drop-dead dresses, flirty skirts, killer denim and terrific tops, weeding out the unnecessary, the unflattering, the superfluous and the occasional what-was-I-thinking. Which has left me with a very organized although somewhat barren closet, with more than a few fashion holes to be filled. I have the essentials covered, since I always buy top quality basics such as blazers, blouses and the ubiquitous lbd in classic and timeless styles that will carry from one season into another, so my current fashion search is focused on updating the classics that currently reside in my closet. Winter Neutrals. Remember when your grandma would tell you that you should never wear wh Turtlenecks and Buttondown Shirts. Not only is this a very classy look for fall, but it is also sensible as well! A very stylish way to keep warm. Keep the turtleneck sleek — a lightweight cashmere or silk works especially well. As for the blouse, a crisp white cotton is the way to go, but I am also a bit partial to silk. This ensemble makes a great office look when worn with a tweed skirt, tights and sleek booties, or is equally chic as a casual style when worn with jeans and boots. Classic Denim. It goes without saying that every season demands new denim. I mean, denim is the staple of most women's wardrobes after all. But denim is a fickle creature, no? One season it's all about the skinnies, then next thing you know slouchy boyfriend jeans are all the rage. So what's a stylish girl with her eye on her checkbook to do? Stick with the classics darlings! Classic bootcut jeans are always in style, and can be worn with absolutely anything and everything. And the best thing is that all of the denim designers know this, which is why you can always find classic bootcut jeans. Just choose the brand that best fits and flatters your figure. It's worth it to spend an afternoon at a department store like Bloomies, Nordies or Saks, trying on jeans from every designer and taking notes on what fits and flatters you best. That way you are armed with the correct sizes, styles, fits and washes and can take advantage of the fabulous online sales, designer discount sites, and designer sales sites when your favorites go on sale! Velvet. In the famous words of George Costanza, "I would drape myself in velvet if it were socially acceptable." Well darlings, not only is velvet socially acceptable, but it is all the rage this season and I am all over this trend. Although I must advise against completely draping oneself in velvet (too much of a good thing and all that.) One exquisite piece is all you need. A great pair of velvet jeans topped by a silky blouse, or perhaps a pair of indigo jeans, a white blouse and a classic velvet blazer. My pick for the season: this gorgeous velvet dress, which I will pair with sassy pewter croco heels for one hot evening look. If velvet isn't your thing, apparel-wise, take baby steps with a great pair of velvet and suede sandals, or an elegant velvet bag. Black & Winter White. You know how it is, there are those days when you think you just don't have a thing to wear. This is where a great ensemble in classic black and white (or winter white!) will fulfill your fashionista fantasies while allowing you to retain your chic style. This season I am going for a bold effect with this gorgeous beaded-collar dress in a soft creme, paired with black suede booties, for just a bit of an edge. Accessorize with a big bold ring and finish with a great handbag and you've got one haute look!

I am a die-hard Downton Abbey fan, so when I saw how gorgeous Michelle Dockery (Lady Mary Crawley) looked at the Emmy's I was dying to find out who her stylist was. Celebrity stylist Jonathan Hanousek worked with Michelle Dockery, prepping her for The Emmy’s red carpet today in Hollywood.
“The Inspiration for Michelle’s look today was French Modern and Romantic. We wanted easy elegance. Texture was key for this softer top knot, we didn’t want it to feel stiff or fussy," said Jonathan. To create the look Jonathan prepped the hair with Avon’s Advance Techniques 360 Nourishment Moroccan Argan Oil Leave In Treatment, concentrating on the ends. Then, he rough dried the hair to create lift. Next, Jonathan misted 1" sections with Avon's Advance Techniques Medium Hold Hair Spray and curled the hair using a 3/4" curling iron on high heat, alternating the direction forward and back. Then, he broke up the hair with a wide-toothed comb. Then he took a couple pumps of The Advance Techniques 360 Nourishment Moroccan Argan Oil and pulled it through the hair to smooth and create separation. Next, he drew the hair up into a pony tail and fastened with an elastic band. He then shaped the hairline by gently pulling pieces of hair from the ponytail. Misting the hair with Advance Techniques Medium Hold Hair Spray, he raked the fingers up towards the pony to add texture and smooth excessive fly aways. He backcombed the pony, and twisted and wrapped into a bun. The bun was fuzzy and a little undone. Finally, he fastened with pins and locked the style into place with a few more shots of Advance Techniques Medium Hold Hair Spray.
