Making a Point
For several seasons now, pumps with a round or almond toe have been in vogue. However, as I perused my favorite fashion blogs over the weekend, I came across three consecutive photos of ladies wearing pointed toe heels. Will the pointed toe make a comeback in 2012? (Yes, I really do ponder things like this.) I guess we’ll have to wait and see. ~M.M. Photos: The Glitter Guide

Deck the House
After watching HGTV’s “White House Christmas 2011,” a behind-the-scenes look at all the artistry that goes into creating a festive holiday season at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave., I’ve decided I want to be a volunteer decorator someday. Wouldn’t that be so much fun?! The volunteers have just 72 hours to transform the White House into a winter wonderland; 156 were on hand...

Ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho
See what I did there? Just kidding. Keeping the name calling to a minimum. It is the holidays after all.  Yesterday the Kardashians unveiled their 2011 Khristmas kard. To see a bigger version, klick on the photo here. (Sorry, I couldn’t help myself.) It’s a bit much, but they are a pretty family and I’d be lying if I said I don’t plan to art direct the hell out of some...

Holmes for the Holidays
CNN weekend anchor T.J. Holmes recently announced he’s moving to BET in 2012. The Arkansas native has inked a multi-platform talent agreement with the network that will include a television show and content on BET.com.  Holmes told The Root:  “My role will be as a journalist. They brought me on because of my news background and for my news chops. I think many people in the black...

Tall Tales
“Even though she’s 5’9”, she’s still my baby,” said President Obama during a speech in Kansas City, Mo. in July. He was referring to his eldest daughter, Malia, who’s just 13. Judging by this photo of the first family taken during the taping of “Christmas in Washington,” Malia (on the far right) doesn’t appear self-conscious about her...

Rainy days and Mondays always get me down
But I think that’s about to change. Well, the “rainy days” part, anyway. (Side note: does anyone else instantly hear that Carpenters song in their head when it’s rainy and Monday? I can’t be the only one.)  For two years now, I’ve relied on this pair of gold Stuart Weitzman flats during wet weather, but, as my fellow Columbus, Ohio residents can tell you,...

Random, just completely random
The title of this post says it all, people. No particular theme or topic here. Maybe chugging eggnog lattes like they’re going out of style is taking a toll… Anyway. Patterned tights have been on my mind lately. (I’m always thinking deep thoughts.) After watching the Oscar de la Renta Pre-Fall 2012 show (fab-u-lous) on Monday and seeing this photo, I’m sold. As you...

Cathy's Clothing Conundrum
Cathy Cambridge will be spending Christmas with the royal family at Sandringham, Queen Elizabeth’s country retreat. Think deciding what to wear when hanging with your significant other’s fam is stressful? I think Cathy has us all beat. The Cut quoted an expert in royal protocol, who said the holiday visit will require a significant capsule wardrobe with up to five looks per day: a...

WatchWatch
I wasn’t among the 10 million people who watched the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show on CBS Tuesday. I have nothing against the show. It’s just that I’d seen photos of it a couple weeks ago and didn’t feel compelled to tune in. Judging by my Twitter timeline Tuesday, a lot of my tweethearts were compelled, though. And I’d be lying if I said some of their...
