Guy Talk: The Black Tie Dress Code
When it comes to choosing an outfit for an invitation event, men and women alike have questions about what's appropriate and acceptable. I just received an e-mail asking if a light- colored suit would be acceptable for a man to wear at a black tie event, so I thought I'd take this opportunity to run through the basic rules of thumb.

Open House: How Do You Dress Your Thanksgiving Table?
When it comes to the Thanksgiving table, how you dress it is often as important to the hostess as what food sits upon it. Over the years, I've seen family members fuss over table settings, switching out placemats, rethinking china sets, and shifting floral arrangements.
I admit that I'm known to fuss over my Thanksgiving table as well.
Color Theory: Mix Pink and Red
When you're talking fashion, there are a lot of rules about color. No white after Labor Day. Black and brown clash.
Ten Maxi Gowns for a Formal Wedding
I love any excuse to dress up, but preparing myself for a formal event is one of my favourites. These kind of events don't come along every day (unless you're a celebrity), so make the most of them in a long flowing, maxi dress.

Ten Strapless Dresses for a Semi-Formal Wedding
Wedding season continues today with recommendations for what to wear to a semi-formal affair. This includes plenty of cocktail dresses to see you from the daytime event to the party. Preparing for this should be enjoyable, and you can end up feeling like you're starring on the red carpet!
All-Male Morehouse College Bans Cross-Dressing
It appears that folks in Georgia aren't too fond of cross-dressers. We told you about a teen in Kennesaw who quit high school rather than stop cross-dressing, and now Martin Luther King, Jr.'s alma mater Morehouse College in Atlanta, GA has instituted a no dress-wearing clause to its larger dress code policy.
The "Appropriate Attire Policy," which already bans casual attire like do-rags and sagging pants, has now added dresses to the list of casual clothes its male students cannot wear.
Love it or Hate it: Samantha Jones' '80s Look
Filming for the Sex and the City 2 movie continued yesterday as the girls dressed up in classic '80s attire. Carrie had a funky Madonna vibe, Miranda was formal, Charlotte was very preppy whilst Samantha went for full-on bad taste! I love the clashing prints of Samantha's ensemble complete with red buckle boots (very similar to a Chloe pair from Autumn 2009).
Teen Choice Awards: Ashley Greene
Robert Pattinson may get the screams on the red carpet, but Ashley Greene gets my applause for always looking polished, pretty, and — perhaps I'm projecting — down-to-earth at events. Here, she looks simply elegant, with a fuss-free style that would work as well with jeans and a tee as it does with a formal dress. Are you loving this look, too?
Brad and Diane Take Inglourious Basterds To Berlin
Brad Pitt and Diane Kruger accompanied their Inglourious Basterds director Quentin Tarantino to promotional events for the movie in Berlin yesterday. Starting off with a photocall — where Diane wore a gorgeous yellow dress — the three went on to the more formal premiere and the afterparty where Diane used a fan to cool down and Brad enjoyed a cold beer! Brad, who missed the London premiere, talked about how he got involved with the movie, saying:
"Quentin came to visit some time at the end of the summer, we talked about back story, we talked about movies.
Must-Read: BBQ Bash
Last year I received a copy of BBQ Bash: The Be-All, End-All Party Guide, from Barefoot to Black Tie ($16.95) by Karen Adler and Judith Fertig. I quickly flipped through the pages, but since it was October, I stored it on the book shelf.
Then two weeks ago I was sitting on my couch, looked up, and swore BBQ Bash jumped out at me.
