RHONYC Gossip-Behind the Scenes Video of Brad's Birthday Party In Morocco of Those Housewives

Posted: 27 May 2011 10:42 AM PDT

The Majorelle Gardens were the subject of my last piece here on Focus on Style. Now, I bring to you this week with the ladies and my birthday in Morocco.

When I was planning my birthday party, I had no idea The Real Housewives Of New York City were coming to Morocco at the same time!

When Jill Zarin called me to tell me their plans, I was delighted. I thought it would be fun to included traditional Moroccan delights, such as snake charmers and fortune tellers. Jill had never been to Morocco, and I wanted her to see the magic and the splendor of a culture steeped in thousands of years of history.

As the ladies arrived looking beautiful, they were greeted by musicians in jalaba's serenading them into to the divine courtyard of a 17th century Riad in the Souk in Marrekech!

On Trend- How To Wear White a la Gwyneth Paltrow and Kelly Rutherford

Posted: 27 May 2011 03:00 AM PDT

According to old school fashion rules, Memorial Day is the official time to finally break out the whites. There's no need to look at calendar to see when wearing white looks right, if you know how to put it together!

There's nothing hotter this season than white-- albeit chalk white, off-white, weathered white, or a subtle tint of cream. Easy as wearing white sounds to be, too much of a good thing can absolutely be overkill.

Two ways to wear white: Gwyneth Paltrow mixes tan pants and tobacco colored platforms & Kelly Rutherford adds a a classic beige Kelly bag and nude pumps to her white sheath.

Although white technically may be the absense of color, getting heavy handed with it has a tendency to have you look like a bride, a nurse, or the Good Humor man.

But mixed in the right way, white is fantastic!

Take for instance, Gwenyth Paltrow in her white blazer and shirt. She layered delicate chain necklaces to create some "texture" near her face and opted for tan slim pants and chunky tobacco platforms to create a casual and neutral palette.

Kelly Rutherford accents a cream sheath dress with a beige Kelly bag and nude pumps for classic chic. Both ladies are playing with the nuance of shades to create interest and keep it modern.
