What We Wore: One Night In Vegas

Francesca and I live on opposite coasts now, so we don't get to see each other nearly as often as we'd like. And so when we do get to see each other...we like to do it up.

Pretend we're still living together in L.A. and thinking about things like which bathing suit to wear on a Tuesday afternoon.

Put on sequins and red lipstick and get into a little trouble.

(Oh, okay...we got in no trouble at all. We tried, I swear, but after sacrificing ten bucks to the slot machines we decided to just cut our losses and window-shop for shoes along the Grand Canal.)

Coming Up Roses

What I wore for Mother's Day dinner (at our local hibachi place, of course): a simple summer dress with fun details that I picked up for $19.50 at the mall, and then lightened up even more with white and rose-gold accessories.

We chose hibachi because we like it - obviously; that stuff is delicious - but also because convincing a toddler to sit still for the entire duration of a meal can be tough...but is made exponentially easier by the presence of flying eggs and fire.

My favorite part: the bright-pink lipstick (YSL Rouge Volupte Shine in Devotion). I love the pairing of mint green and bright pink - so fresh and springy.

Kate Hudson Capsule Collection For Ann Taylor

I did an interview last week during which the reporter asked me who my "celebrity style icon" was, and I was sort of flummoxed. I even almost automatically blurted out "Audrey Hepburn" just because she seems to be the de facto "style icon" who people mention in interviews, even though there are probably few celebrities on the planet whose style resembles mine less.

I do not do ballet flats and pearls particularly well, nor am I pixieishly adorable. C'est la vie.

So I free-associated for a minute, thinking about which red carpet dresses pop instantly into my mind as all-time favorites, and came up with Cate Blanchett's 1999 John Galliano, Cameron Diaz's 2002 Ungaro, Michelle Williams' 2006 Vera Wang, Kate Hudson in that white dress, Kate Hudson in that gold dress, Kate Hudson in that flowery Valentino she wore to the Oscars that one time, and Kate Hudson every time she's ever appeared on The Late Show. Or anywhere, generally.

So: Kate Hudson it was.
