Day 1624

Taste of the South 2011 has officially come and gone, and I must say, it was a huge success! With the help of our amazing, supportive donors, this year we will be giving over $200,000 to charity. Makes all that hard work so well worth it!

Day 1612

Yes, I know. I know. It was been so ridiculously long. Next Saturday is my huge black tie gala that I have been working on now for 11 months, Taste of the South, after which I will finally get some free time back. At least until I take up some other cause. But today, I really feel like getting my write on again. Don't expect Shakespeare tonight though, because today, I talk fashion, and I must share with you my latest obsession.

Oh, Lanvin.

I'm not sure what it is about the legendary Fashion House, but I am in love. Every time I see a dress I am absolutely in love with, it turns out to be Lanvin. If I could only wear one label for the rest of my life (money no object, of course), who would I wear? Lanvin.

Satin wrap front dress? Obsessed.



Plisse Kimono Gown? Gorgeous.



Python-print silk halterneck gown? Amazing.



So when I was browsing dresses last night for the upcoming White House Correspondence Dinner (oh yeah, I'm going this year...but that is a whole other slew of posts), I come across the most perfect formal yet chic and will totally show off my just back from Miami tan plus will look just as hot as all those celebrities crashing our prom. And who is it designed by? Of course, Lanvin.

Hello, perfection.



The Lanvin pleated chiffon strapless gown. Simple. Nude. Elegant. Beautiful.

Anyone have an extra $2,830 I can borrow?
