This SUNDAY: Jane Darling by ME Trunk Show!

Lauren — Thu, 23 Feb 2012 18:39:02 +0000

I want to invite you ALL to a trunk show this SUNDAY featuring all of Marty Alterman and Emily Mak’s AMAZING clothes. You may remember my previous post, but if not, check it out HERE.

I have literally been LIVING in my Legginskirt™ and my jackets and shirts. They are SO cute and so comfortable and SO flattering. I swear, I lose 10lbs as soon as I slip them on. Everything is slimming: the shirts fit a little longer, the fabric is a little sturdier and more forgiving, there’s strategic ruching and ruffles and best of all –everything is very fresh and young, but very sophisticated.

in my Legginskirt Uniform in Italy

Come see for yourself this SUNDAY at Shanghai Alterations in Sandy Springs and check out all the new SPRING styles! Marty tells me she has SIX new styles of Legginskirts™ and I am be.side.my.self. I can’t wait to see!

See ya at Shanghai at 12:00PM on SUNDAY!

Adele! Adele! Adele! Adele! Adele!

Lindsay — Mon, 13 Feb 2012 15:36:42 +0000

She killed it at the Grammy’s last night winning an impressive SIX! Amazing, and so deserving.

way to go, adele!!

And, she looked STUNNING in Armani. Watch her Grammy performance here! She was simply perfection!

yowza!

I’m a really big fan. And, I don’t only appreciate Adele for being an unbelievably talented artist, but also for how she has addressed negativity in the press regarding her weight.

“I’ve never wanted to look like models on the cover of magazines. I represent the majority of women and I’m very proud of that,” she said, according to the U.K. edition of Marie Claire. “I’d lose weight if I was an actress and had to play a role where you’re supposed to be 40 pounds lighter, but weight has nothing to do with my career. Even when I was signing [a contract], most of the industry knew if anyone ever dared say [lose weight] to me, they wouldn’t be working with me.”

Now THAT is an incredible sense of self. A true role model. What a beautiful, strong woman! I think we could all learn something from Adele. Many congratulations, lady!!
