Just Add Glam

the San Francisco lifestyle blog by JENNIFER HENRY-NOVICH

October 31, 2012 / FASHION

Brocade Brigade

Dress: TopShop // Jacket: William Rast // Heels: Sergio Rossi // Clutch: Judith Leiber, similar here // Sunglasses: Dior // Earrings: Kate Spade // Ring: TopShop, similar from Ariella // Nails: Essie’s Sole Mate

I love afternoons where you can explore new things in your own city.  I drive past the San Francisco Opera everyday and decided it was finally time to catch a matinee in a pretty dress–and orange heels to support the San Francisco Giants of course!  The War Memorial Opera House is one of the most beautifully decorated buildings in San Francisco and I wanted to celebrate my afternoon by wearing my TopShop jacquard dress to play off of the house’s rich upholstery.  The brocade print looks like a fine tapestry, and the playful cut–nipped at the waist and flowing into a full skirt–couldn’t be cuter!  After all, skirts were made for twirling!

Happy Halloween!  Be safe, spooky, and stylish!

      Hey Mallory! Isn’t this dress fab? Its also a really thick fabric which is nice once it gets a little bit colder out. I’ll just add some tights and I’ll be set!

    That dress is absolutely gorgeous! I love the silhouette and the dramatic print! And it was so smart of you to not pile on the accessories and just let the dance shine on it’s own!

      Hey Erin! You’re totally right…I was trying to be minimalist with this look because the dress is the stunner on its own. I didn’t want to add a lot of extras and take away from the special-ness of it. I love the look of tons and tons of arm candy–but to be honest–its a total pain to wear and lug around on your arms…right?!?

    Jenny, how beautiful is that dress. It’s pattern is so glamourus and I am glad you didnt overload with any accessoires and let the dress be that main character. Super cute clutch too.

    Believe it or not I almost bought this dress. I’m pretty sure I have it on pinned on Pinterest. I love the rich colors and details of it and the color looks great on you! Normally I’m not a huge fan of Judith and her clutches 😉 but I surprisingly like this one. It’s really lovely! What’s not to twirl about? 🙂

Evening walks in the neighborhood with the fam! An Evening walks in the neighborhood with the fam! And carrying around this big 8 month nugget really turns the walk into a workout!! 

Picked up a few clothing items this week including this two-tone dress which I LOVE! And love it with my new sandals of the summer 🤩☀️
Looking back from some photos when I was first pre Looking back from some photos when I was first pregnant with Oliver and it’s so crazy how little Harrison looks!! Where does the time go, where did my baby go? Does anyone else feel like you blink and it disappears?
With a 6 month old and toddler transitioning to hi With a 6 month old and toddler transitioning to his big boy bed, I’m not exactly getting 8 hours of sleep each night #ad 

Lately I’ve been making a point to optimize my sleep quality to help make up for my lack in quantity right now. That means optimizing my routine with small changes to help wind down before bed: 

- I’m putting my phone on sleep mode to keep me from spending too much time on it before bed. 

- I’m using red light only an hour before bed to support my circadian rhythms. 

- I’m supplementing with melatonin to achieve better sleep. @zzzquil’s PURE Zzzs Melatonin Gummies include the optimal amount of melatonin so I don’t wake up feeling groggy* the next morning. 

You can find PURE Zzzs Melatonin Gummies at your favorite local retailer - check out my story to see how you can join the #BetterSleepin12Zzz campaign too!

I’ve been looking to make the switch to a refillable cleaning product and found the NEW @clorox Multi-Purpose Refillable Cleaner @Target…it’s perfect! I love this as a more sustainable option since it uses 80% less plastic waste* and when I'm out, I just need to buy the concentrate vs. a full bottle which means less shipping costs too!
