December 2010 - My Vicarious Life

The Best of MVL

December 31, 2010
By Katrice It's hard to believe that I've been blogging for nearly a year (17 days until MVL's 1st birthday). And, as cliche as it may sound ... it has been one of the best experiences of my life. Not only have I learned more about my city, I've learned more about myself and you. I couldn't be happier. As we're preparing to...

MVL Radar: Atlanta Weddings for the Modern, Stylish, Chic Bride

Atlanta Weddings for the Modern December 29, 2010
By Katrice Any time I'm in the company of Gail Johnson and Hester Parks, the duo that makes up Wedding Soiree, I start imagining weddings. I follow their tweets and imagine weddings. I read their blog and, yes, I think of what I'll want for my wedding. Meet them, and you'll understand it a natural reaction. They are wedding planners par excellence. Wedding Soiree...

All I Want For Christmas

December 21, 2010
By Katrice Interestingly, through all of my posting about the holidays and chatting with friends, when it came time to tell my brother what I wanted for Christmas ... I couldn't think of anything. How does that happen? I imagine it's because I want so many things that it's hard to narrow down. And on the flip side of that, I don't need...

SWIIIITCH!!

clothes swap December 17, 2010
By Katrice  I'm always talking to friends who live in different cities about the things we're weeding out of our wardrobes. And more often than not, one of us wants something the other one is getting rid of. That gave me an idea to work on organizing a clothing swap amongst my friends. If you're game, e-mail me, and let's get it crackin'....

2011 {Fashion} Resolutions

Fashion Resolutions December 17, 2010
By Katrice I stopped making New Year's resolutions a long time ago. I'm always seeking balance and resolve in my life, and thus am prone to making changes when the need arises. It could be the next moment or the next day. It's probably the only area I could describe myself as spontaneous in. But, I'm going to try something different this year...

On Holiday

staycation December 15, 2010
By Katrice  I'm counting down the days until my two-week vacation. So many plans and plenty of time to do everything I've been imagining with a little foresight. I have curated a list of restaurants to try, movies to see, makeup tricks to master, places to explore, sales to catch. (Yes, I will be shopping. I've already seen deals way too good to...

Crux New York December 13, 2010
By Katrice In their words, a desire to share their vision and complex style with a broad audience propelled Crux New York creators, Sennie Clark and Ahyiana Angel, to expand their hobby of revamping pieces and experimenting with unique accessories into a fashion forward reality. In mine: Genius. Crux New York accessories are so many things ... all of them good. If you want...

Weather It In Style

December 09, 2010
 By Katrice  When the temperature drops to frigid, the need for warmth can easily shift your wardrobing priorities to more functional and less fashionable. To this I say, think -- layering. Pile on the chicness and you'll be able to weather it in style. These budget friendly finds for $10 or less should get you in the spirit.  Faded Glory Boots, $10 (in-store),...

Winterize Your Skin

moisturizers December 08, 2010
By Katrice  My poor hands and feet have been taking a beating in this unusually chilly weather. I'm constantly gobbing extra moisturizer on my lips, face and elbows, and my skin is still begging for more. No more cutesy scented lotions and balms ... it's time to pull out the big guns. Enjoy a little tenderness with these tried and true hydrators. Nivea Creme,...
