Hot Pink Party

Last week I attended Boston's Hot Pink Party to benefit the Breast Cancer Research Foundation.  I am involved with this event every year and as in the past, the event raised lots of money for the BCRF.  This year's event was at the Intercontinental Hotel.

The tables were filled with gorgeous flower arrangements from Winston Flowers.

We were serenaded by a gospel choir decked out in pink robes.

My dear friend Elisha, who was honored with this year's humanitarian award for her work in raising awareness and money for breast cancer, brought the crowd out of their chairs.

Even John Kerry, Deborah Norville and Leonard Lauder were on their feet for the fun!

Sunday Supper - Simple Fish

On a recent jaunt to Whole Foods, I bought some pre-cooked shrimp (yes this is the easy way out) and some halibut.  I made an easy shrimp salad for lunch by whisking up a dressing of olive oil, dijon mustard and lemon juice, mixed it with shrimp and diced celery and served it with tomatoes and avocado.

For dinner, I drizzled halibut with olive oil, seasoned it with kosher salt and cayenne pepper, then topped it with sliced lemons.  While the fish roasted for about 20 minutes, I cooked broccoli and cauliflower in salted water.  There you have it, a really easy and very healthy dinner.

Outfit details: Kate Spade top, Reiss blazer, Sara Campbell skirt, Chanel handbag, KARL sandals, Noir cuff

I wore this a couple of weekends ago on a beautiful Boston day for lunch outside at Bistro du Midi and then to the School of Fashion Design graduation fashion show (more on that in another post).  I mixed a Kate Spade heart printed top with a Sara Campbell polka dot skirt, both out of the archives of my closet.   When I pulled the dotted skirt out, I searched through a bunch of blouses but couldn't resist the play on patterns.

Outfit details: DVF Karin dress, Jimmy Choo flats, Tiziana handbag, Hermes scarf and bangle, Burberry trench

The Diane von Furstenberg Karin dress is my new favorite dress.  It's so easy to wear, but still looks put together.  The shape is great for my apple like figure as it floats away from the body on top where I'm bigger and tapers in a bit toward the bottom. 

Weekend Tidbits - Florida

I took a quick trip to Florida this weekend to visit family.

Fresh picked roses from outside my dad's house.

Delicious tomatoes with gorgonzola, fresh basil and my sister's homemade vinaigrette.

Perfectly cooked ribeye steaks with sauteed mushrooms and onions.

I hope you had a great weekend!
