At what point do you pencil in personal time, when business is all on your mind? Fast forward... at what point do you exchange your third glass of wine for a bottle of water and get back to work? 

I can't decide what's sexier-- staying in on a hyped out social night to catch up on work emails, or maxing out a few shots of tequila with your newly introduced and conveniently connected "bestie" while ripping seriously improved triceps that so happen to be peaking out from your new ALC jumpsuit.

I find that...

What's more important... to look cool, or to look pretty? I choose cool every time. 

Pretty is for days when you just got a spray tan and fresh highlights and are wearing no makeup; your flawless glow can literally stop traffic. And then it washes away nearly overnight and you wake up the next morning pale and broken out.

Cool on the other hand, cool is so much more... 

Cool is attitude, personality, testing the waters, and showing the girls with the fresh "Manhattan" blow out (I'd say "you know who you are" but "you" likely don't read Elshane's World) that you had that tick inside you yearning for a mohawk braid. 

Cool will get you the free drink at the bar and it will get you the job at the PR firm. Cool will put you to bed with a smile on your face.

Layering for fall is easy as 1-2-3.

Here's how to break it down...

It's easy to get swallowed into a financial burden during wedding season-- between gifts, travel arrangements and making sure your lewk is hotter, chicer and newer than that **#^%! brunette sitting across the aisle from you in those brand new Tabitha Simmons heels. Why her?

Here's the story of a girl's love affair with a pair of leather jeans and a $1,000 bill. (No really, they make those now.)

It all started in Giuliana Rancic's Fashion Police dressing room in February 2012...

Into skin. Into showing skin.

Into showing skin during all seasons in fresh silhouettes.

Like this off the shoulder Lolita moment... she's daring and refined, and quite "buttoned up" one would say with the help of her classic tube skirt. 

She's the perfect answer to a cocktail party, extravagant dinner party, or second date. She is, however, missing one crucial accessory:

Her martini.

Time flies.
