Just Add Glam

the San Francisco lifestyle blog by JENNIFER HENRY-NOVICH

April 16, 2013 / FASHION

Dress: Derek Lam for DesigNation // Bag: Olivia Harris, similar style here // Heels: Gucci // Bracelets: DIY and Jami c/o // Sunglasses: House of Harlow // Necklaces: House of Harlow // Ring: borrowed // Lips: Maybeline Pink Pop // Nails: OPI I Brake for Manicures

I recently was shopping around for an espresso machine and one of my friends recommended I check out the selection at Kohls.  I didn’t find what I was looking for (I ended up getting this amazing Nespresso machine!) but I did find this Derek Lam for DesigNation dress!  Its a bit shorter than the dresses I normally wear but I loved the unexpected mix of colors and angled shapes so I decided to go for it.  I played up the geometric angles print on the dress with some fun Gucci platforms.  I don’t wear these heels very often but the soft grey color was such a complimentary match…they needed to be worn together.  I finished off my look with a copper metallic Olivia Harris crossbody that is the perfect size for carrying around my essentials (hello, iPhone!).

Have you seen the Derek Lam for DesigNation collection?  What are your favorite pieces?

      Thanks Dhruvi! I was shocked when I saw this dress! I didn’t think that Kohl’s carried such gorgeous pieces.

    I love that dress. Afraid I haven’t seen anything from its collection – I can’t possibly fit any more clothes into my dorm room, so I’ve been avoiding looking at anything that isn’t astronomically out of my price range. Judging by the dress, though, the collection must be pretty awesome!

Finally tried @dintaifungusa and wow! So good! Her Finally tried @dintaifungusa and wow! So good! Here’s what we ordered:

🌟Cucumber Salad - a bright and light starter I’d love to make these at home (and @glucosegoddess would be proud!)
🌟String Beans with Garlic - I would have eaten 3 more orders of this had they not been $16/each. I’ve already been searching for copy cat recipes because they are just SO DAMN GOOD
🌟Kurobuta Pork Xiao Long Bao - these are their classic soup dumpling and very yummy and chewy and I loved the soy-vinegar sauce pairing with it
🌟 Sticky Rice & Kurobuta Pork Shao Mai - these were recommended in a TikTok video but they weren’t my favorite. The rice plus the dough was just too much IMO
🌟 Chicken Spicy Wontons - these were very good! I would drink the bowl of sauce if no one was watching…
🌟 Chocolate & Mochi Xiao Long Bao - wow, what a great to end the meal! We don’t order dessert often but this really good. Love the melty creamy chocolate!

Can’t wait to go back! Have you been? You’ve got to try it!
I waited to share putting my 2023 vision board tog I waited to share putting my 2023 vision board together until late January because there it’s so much buzz around the new year and goal setting around the start of the new year…but how about waiting until the buzz around it starts to fade? I’ve been committed since 12/31/2022 but if you need some fresh inspiration for 2023…here you go!

Last year I made a digital vision board in Canva with about 8 vague photos and I never looked at it. This year, I got a huge poster board and nearly 100 very specific images of the things I want. VERY specific. In the short 3 weeks having this propped up in my office and seeing it each day, I’m already seeing the needle moving on these items! 

Have you created a vision board or set goals for 2023? What doe is mean to you? How are you achieving your goals this year? #goalsetting #visionboard
