They are a clearing house for high end designers with locations in the south. On a recent family trip to Nashville, I stopped by their location in the West End and scored this beautiful coat. Temperly of London, UAL, West End, Nashville, $300 (originally $2900). One of my new favorite brands, I discovered through with Prince Harry when she sported one of their handbags the .

There is a great annual fashion show at the Fairmont Hotel in DC that raises money and awareness for Make A Wish Foundation. I am so honored to again be part of it with my daughter (6 years running! ). It is a wonderful mother/daughter event with a great silent auction. The Pink Palm in Bethesda outfits all the models in the latest spring/summer collection from Lilly Pulitzer .

Each season I try to find a few items that I can blend in with my wardrobe and few statement pieces that I will treasure for years to come. When Sarah Jessica Parker opened her new and only stand alone store in the country at MGM National Harbor, I was instantly was drawn to these Mary Jane type shoes with a modern twist. Super comfortable with the stacked heel, they remind me of Dorthy's shoes (they come in red too). Embellished Mary Jane Pump Embroidered items are everywhere this spring and summer from jeans to moto jackets to handbags and shoes.

I am always struggling how to fit an aerobic routine into my schedule and love classes, setting the appointment, working out with peers and the instructors that push your limits. My work shift on makes an early class impossible and when I get off of work around 12-1 pm there is little chance to find a yoga, spin or barre class during that time. My friend, Heather introduced me to a great solution, a Peloton Bike, where I can take cycle and yoga classes with top notch instructors whenever I want. I search for classes based on a length, theme (I always go for 80s theme, or Madonna) and instructors (favorites include Jennifer, Hannah and Christine) and you can follow your friends.
