CarilynVaile — Fri, 16 Sep 2011 23:07:30 +0000

Most of you have never seen me in a LBD–I prefer a LPinkD or LMultiD but since I’m headed for New York I figured I’d dress the sleek sophisticated, east-coast part with true Hollywood Style! Ow! Fortunately this fitted Little black dress is from the Carilyn Vaile fall 2011 collection so I can still breathe as well as bloat from airplane peanuts…

I hope to see those of you headed to Coterie in the next few days at Carilyn Vaile Coterie Booth #10232!!! The Spring 2012 collection is fresh, sexy & vibrant!

Affairs of the V; Jack’s 6th show! Ow!

Great music never gets old! I can’t tell you how AMAZING Nancy Wilson looked and Ann Wilson sounded-WOW! What a couple of sexy, talented women! OH- AND Ann chose the ever-popular and female flattering neckline of “V”! Right on sister!

Check out our V montage here! And let me know what YOUR V is up to!! SUBSCRIBE!

PS-

…Sir Mix-a-lot was super cool and took charge of the 15 minutes on stage they gave him! Every good party starts with Baby Got Back-LOL!!! Including last nights!

…And the lube on Def Leppard‘s lead guitarist, Phil Collen, was a bit extreme-I would have preferred authentic sweat but we DID, however, appreciate the lack of shirt. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. You men were a joy to uhm….watch! YES! Double Ow!

…what’s with the sea of black, though?! I know its like a concerts state color and all but COME ON a music fest is the time to shine and experiment with who you want to be and express-grab that color, grab the sparkle, grab the leopard sequined leg warmers you’ve been secretly dying to wear! oh and GRAB YOUR V!!!! HAVE FUN!

Strut in Style with Andrea Ward!

CarilynVaile — Sat, 10 Sep 2011 23:34:45 +0000

Meet Andrea… (A CVIP-and OH so much more!)

Recently relocating from the East Coast, I am Andrea Ward, a veteran of the fashion industry, including several years on 7th Avenue in NYC, a former owner of a women’s specialty store in Connecticut, a stylist for TV Soap Opera’s and most recently known for wardrobing high profile women.

My extensive experience in dressing women over the years led me to write the book “Strut in Signature Style – Reinvent Your Wardrobe” which was endorsed by ivillage.com NBC as a great read packed with pertinent advice for your wardrobing needs. I have been a guest on WNPR Radio, ABC and CBS-TV Local Women’s Style Programs and written up in Connecticut Magazine and numerous publications pertaining to “Style” on the East Coast.

My new quest in Seattle is to meet and educate women on “How to Love the Clothes You Own and Refine Your Wardrobe and Image.”

Discovered Treasure in the Cape!

CarilynVaile — Thu, 08 Sep 2011 08:48:43 +0000

Finding fabrics that feel like they’re made for pajamas yet make up beautifully into ready-to-wear and are also wrinkle resistant feels like discovering hidden treasure to me!

This fall season is one of unveiling/unVaileing (heehee) buried treasure!!

I wish technology was advanced enough for you to feel through this blog post the security blanket-like comfort inherent in this buttery, luxurious treasure. It puts the “Snuggie” to serious shame! Haha– in fact the CV cape available this winter is an uber chic alternative to reaching for your Snuggie – and I promise you won’t be embarrassed if the doorbell rings! Actually you will WANT to show off this high-style, low maintenance, off-the-charts vogue item –so order yourself some pizza and get to the door!

In Heathered charcoal and heathered bark brown, playfully called our “Rich Girl Sweats”, the pocket hoodie cape and pull-on gored pant are anything but “sweats”. You’ll want to spend every day in them…I know I do! oh-and don’t be afraid to strap on your heels, Ladies! The drape of this fabric is elegant and sophisticated – turn heads at the office cocktail party in our French Terry tank dress and cape!

You deserve this luxurious treasure!

The Luxury Tee

CarilynVaile — Sun, 04 Sep 2011 20:06:11 +0000

A T-shirt and jeans is no longer reserved for a three-day weekend!

Our luxury tee, available at http://www.brasmyth.com, is the right choice for weekday Tee-shirt wearing! Great under a suit or with slacks, only the shape and the comfort of this top is like a Tee…the material upgrades this classic choice to a chic work week alternative! Paired with the CV Dream Jean-the staple of “jean & tee shirt” has you turning heads mid-week!

What is the CV Dream Jean? Well, I was so tired of squeezing myself into my denim only to have it slipping off end of day & needing a wash, that I designed a pant that looks like a jean but is as comfortable as lived-in sweats, and polished enough as your over-worn trouser.

The first CV customer to discover this pant , Terri Gross, donned it “The Dream Jean”!

..stay tuned for a fun jean-squeezin’ comparison expose on the blog soon!

Being a Superwoman is not a bad thing…but only in doses (via Nichole’s Motor Mouth)

CarilynVaile — Sun, 04 Sep 2011 03:22:59 +0000

AMEN! I’m on the couch tonight! Ow!!!

Being a Superwoman is not a bad thing…but only in doses. Today, my neighbor had day surgery. She is in her early 30s, single, and her parents live over 200 miles away. The surgery went well but she is in pain which is expected. I took her and picked her up. When I talked to the nurse who wheeled her out of recovery, she told me they wouldn't have done the surgery if they thought she didn't have someone to stay with her during the night. I'm goi … Read More

Phone-Booth Fashion on the streets of OC!

CarilynVaile — Sun, 04 Sep 2011 01:04:09 +0000

Every time I pass it this phone booth catches my eye. I decided to take advantage of it and perform my first official quick-change-errand running casual to happening happy-hour- inside of it! Thank you Remy for filming it!

Mommy & Me attire-the benefits to having SideKits & packed cars! ;)

CarilynVaile — Sun, 04 Sep 2011 00:11:08 +0000

Today I was unprepared for my nephew’s third birthday and me and the girls went without our bathing suits….fortunately my SuperWoman SideKit actually has a swimsuit in it but the girls had just finished preparing their SideKits for school and did not include swimsuits…But I’m NOT the type of mom to deny them the pleasure of participating in a slip-n-slide nor a blow up pool so all of us ended up soaking wet in our clothes and I had to come up with something for Sova to wear once she was done frolicking in the water…Remy actually DID pack underwear, socks and a change of clothes in her SideKit (turns out she’s been paying attention to mom more than I may have noticed!haha)

So my white T and chunky necklace became a dress and belt for my 6 year old! Creativity and innovation live out loud in my home! Ow! Happy Holiday Weekend, Everyone! XXOO Enjoy the frolicking!!!
