High Notes

I really enjoyed watching the Grammys last night. I thought LL Cool J was a great host, and it was fun to see Adele, Rhianna and many other artists perform. I liked Bon Iver's acceptance speech, and Jennifer Hudson's tribute to Whitney Houston was beautiful. Of course I also had to watch the red carpet coverage to see what everyone was wearing. Although there were some gorgeous gowns, my favorite looks of the night were black ensembles, particularly Rhianna's sleek dress and gleaming gold accessories.

Loving the LBDs

Usually when I'm going to an event, I like to wear some color. Something a little attention-getting and a lot of fun.

That said, I am really feeling Banana Republic's little black dresses. There's something about each -- whether it's sumptuous fabric or a smart cut or an embellishment -- that takes it beyond basic and makes it special.

Now it's just a matter of figuring which one I like best!
