Trump Style

Earlier this week, Haley of Cadigan Junkie posted shoes from the Ivanka Trump collection. I immediately feel head over heels...or should I say, "head over this wedge"! Seriously, I am doing everything in my power not to buy it, but I am so, so tempted!

Ivanka Trump Women's Halyn Wedge Sandal $150 (on sale for $99)

It has a similar look to this Tory Burch wedge, which is also on sale, but still more expensive. And, I actually like the Ivanka Trump wedge more.

Camelia High Wedge Espadrille $195 (on sale for $136.50)

Now back to Ivanka Trump. We've blogged about her before (here), and since then she has been busy as ever building her empire in true Trump style. Not only is Ivanka a member of the Trump International business team, but she also has a fashion and jewelry collection, is a published writer and appears on The Apprentice along side her father. Oh, and did I mention she has a 10 month old baby. She's one busy lady! 

Bottom line, she is a fantastic role model for women, and of course, she does it all with grace, composure and mostly importantly style.  Here are some of my favorite looks. 

She wore this fantastic dress from Alloy (it was only $45) to the Inglorious Bastards premiere back in 2009. I blogged about it way back when, and now I am kicking myself for not buying it! 

Here is a recent photo from her Facebook page. This kind of photo makes her seem more "normal" like the rest of us!

This photo is from 2007 and is a perfect example of how Ivanka's classic style stands the test of time.

In Carolina Herrera at the Celebrity Apprentice Finale. Love the dress, the hair and the makeup!

This is NY street chic at its finest!

Found It!

Last week I posted a photo of Ivanka Trump in what I thought was a jumper...turns out it was a tunic dress. Thanks to a friend with fabulous fashion sense, I was able to track it down. This dress is from Alloy and only costs $44.90! I LOVE it. What I love even more is that Ivanka Trump wears a dress that costs less than $50 to a film screening. I like her even more now.

The Trump Card

I am a big fan of Ivanka Trump, not only of her style and her jewelry line, but also her accomplishments in the business world. I can't wait to read her new book The Trump Card: Playing to Win in Work and Life. You can pre-order it on amazon as it doesn't release until Oct. 13th.

Just Wait for This Wedding

Ivanka Trump and NY Observer publisher Jared Kushner got engaged on Wednesday night. If only there were pictures of the rock!

Don't they make a cute couple? I can't wait to see how over the top the wedding will be. Melania Trump's wedding gown weighed 50 lbs....I doubt Ivanka will try to top that.

On a side note, she is converting to Judaism for her Fiance.

The Trump Card

I am a big fan of Ivanka Trump. She is a smart and accomplished business woman and a fashion icon in her own right. Next March, Ivanka will be adding another venture to her dossier, a handbag line (in collaboration with Mondani)! Stay tuned...it's sure to be fabulous!

Trump This

Ivanka Trump stepped out earlier this week looking summer chic at the screening of Quinten Tarantino's much anticipated film Inglourious Basterds. I think this is my favorite romper of the summer! I wonder who makes it?

Meanwhile Back in Washington

This weekend Dr. B and I ventured 3+ hours north to State College, Pennsylvania to check something off my bucket list - a Garth Brooks concert (he made sure we were merchandised out, and yes this hat will be on repeat during the weekends).

The 2-hour adult sing along was EVERYTHING I'd hoped for and more. The man can entertain. And of course we experienced a little bit of Penn State with a post-concert stop at The Diner for the world famous Grilled Stickies - doughy buttery, cinnamon, goodness heated up on a grill - aka a complete sugar bomb (yes, I am on the reboot, but you only see Garth Brooks once and I had a very small piece)! 

Meanwhile, back in Washington, there was a little event going on...you might have heard of it - the White House Correspondents' Dinner? Dr. B and I had THE BEST time last year (post here in case you missed it) but I must say, Garth was SO MUCH BETTER! That doesn't mean we can't do a virtual glance back at the best dressed of the night. 

Let's start with my girl crush, Ivanka Trump - what a bombshell. I would have DIED to meet her. The girl has brains and beauty, works her butt off, and is a strong woman I can identify with (minus the billions). And have you seen her hunk of a husband? I'm pretty sure if we lived in the same town, we'd be friends. 

Chanel Iman was a beauty in silvery, blue. The color, the neckline....pure perfection. 

Sophia Bush looked radiant in emerald green and the train is stunning. I wonder how many times people stepped on it in the jam-packed Hilton ballroom? #occupationalhazard

I dont' know who Brit Marling is, but I LOVE this. The color blocking and color combination is fresh and youthful, yet sophisticated. I think I would have preferred her hair up, but what do I think this is, Fashion Police? 

I've got two words for Maria Menounos...damn girl. I'm not even offended by that little bit of side boob. 

I've loved Rebecca Gayhart since she played Toni on 90210 (I'm not sure I'll ever get over her dying in Dylan's porsche), and she and Eric Dane are just too pretty of a pair. 

Not a direct celeb, but Al Roker's wife looks ready for spring in this black and white, classic strapless silhouette. And they are just adorable together. 

We'll end with a favorite of the night. It makes me all Hollywood happy inside knowing that the on-air chemistry of Tea Leoni and Tim Daly is more than just an act and these two are dating! Though the excitement doesn't extend to her dress. Is that a broach? Perhaps she's channeling her inner, poorly-dressed secretary of state? I'm looking at you Hillary Clinton and Madeleine Albright. 

Until next year Nerd Prom. 

What I Wore to Work - Navy With a Punch

Happy What I Wore to Work Wednesday! I thought this year, instead of just posting on the Facebook Page, I'd try to post on the blog and give you options of where you can find the pieces, or at least similar options, online. As you know, we spent the holidays in Mexico, and upon our return, it got cold here, and fast! But I really wanted to wear my new Lands End Canvas Tunic that I got as a Christmas gift from a friend (really a summer piece, but as you can see, worn right, can totally be worn in the winter as well!). I was determined to integrate it into my outfit. Layering to the rescue! While you can only get a few of these pieces in stores now, this outfit can easily be recreated.

You're Married

What I wouldn't give to have been a fly on the wall at Ivanka Trump's wedding yesterday! Or even better, a guest...

On Point

Six or seven years ago, I had pointed toe shoes that could take your eye out; so pointy that my toes were inches from the end of the shoe. Let's face it, they were like witch shoes, but I LOVED them...wore those things everywhere.  

It now appears that pointy is back in style. I'm not so sure I am ready to jump onto this trend-wagon. What about you?
