Exciting news from the Vintage Contessa family!

We’ve launched a brand NEW show called #LivingtheAuthenticLife Podcast. This show covers everything you’ve been asking us for – interesting stylish personalities sharing authentic journeys of commitment, connection and authenticity. Please continue to join me, live on Thursdays at 10am on Facebook and available across all platforms, as my husband/business partner and I connect with tastemakers to share their unique stories that led them to answer the question, “How do I know it’s real?”

We all knew this Thanksgiving was going to look a lot different than years past...but this may be the most shocking thing Rob & Bella have seen all year!👩‍🍳🦃 #Thanksgiving is one of my favorite #holidays, I always love to see the tables decked out with pretty settings, #stuffing, and sides. But let’s be real, for me #gratitude is when someone else #cooks while you open the wine...🍷😉 Whatever role you’ll be playing on #turkeyday this year, we want to wish you a #HappyThanksgiving from our family to yours! May your heart be as full as your #handbag 🤎💛🧡

When temperatures begin to drop and #holidayshopping starts to take over, putting together a #fashion-forward #outfit can be the last thing on your mind 🙇🏼‍♀️ But, this season, the head-to-toe #neutraltrend is poised to make getting ready all the easier, and the good news is it's not only easy — it's #stylish ✨ #Neutral is always #classic and you can purchase #timeless pieces that will weather many seasons – especially in a time of uncertainty. The key to wearing neutral head-to-toe is layering textures and tones 💯 Not only does it take next to no effort to throw together shades of cream, ivory, and beige, there's something inherently luxe and effortless about a head-to-toe neutral look. 🤍💛🤎

Is it too soon to be thinking about leftovers? Asking for a friend…🤗 Although our #holidaytravel may look different this year, we know your #Thanksgiving week to-do list is extremely long no matter if you're hosting a few family members or keeping things small at home. 🦃 Between dodging your aunt's nosy questions and making sure you don't burn the pumpkin pie, you'll have a lot on your plate (pun intended)🍽 That's why we've been busy putting in the legwork for you gathering the most #fabulous #giftideas for every budget, from $500 to $10,000 🎁 I think we can all agree that 2020 has been stressful enough - #holidayshopping doesn't have to be 💯

Pretty much, Saturday is like a choose your own adventure kind of day. The game plan is entirely up to you. Actually, #Saturday should be dubbed the most Instagram-worthy day of the week, because you want to capture the memories no matter what you end up doing. Of course, some memories go above and beyond - and being named a 2020 #WomanofSubstance has been such a dream in a time when connection to our community has become more important than ever. When we first faced this new normal of quarantine - when plans changed to weekends spent at home & events we dreamed of going to for months went virtual - I tapped into a secret that has inspired me ever since. The adventure is not about where you go, it’s about who you’re with and how you feel. Sometimes that rush of confidence from getting dressed up in #accessories that make you feel fabulous can be a total game changer in an otherwise mundane week of working from home. That’s what I love about #fashion - how it can tie a #community to work together every day to make the world a little better and a little more fabulous. Big shout out to all the supporters who tuned in from across the city in #womanofsubstance watch parties, to the lunch from the iconic @tonyshouston, and @theshelbyhodge for the beautiful write up in @papercitymag ✨

While many #fashiontrends come and go, there are some items that remain #timeless no matter the season✨And if there could truly be one closet staple that #fashion editors and stylists would recommend investing in, it would be a really great #handbag 💼 It's no secret that buying #quality saves you money in the long run, so for #worldqualityday we are celebrating the important role of #quality craftsmanship when choosing a new investment #bag 🙌🏻 The most important thing to consider when investing in a #designerbag is to know the purpose it will have in your life. Ask yourself, do you prefer an everyday #crossbody? Then maybe the #HermesEvelyne is for you. If you’re one to throw your #bag around and are a bit more rough, then you should probably steer towards the #louisvuittonspeedy because it has a zip closure. If you’re one to keep your bag organized without the help of added compartments, but need something spacious to fit a laptop and gym clothes, then maybe the #LouisVuittonNeverfull #Tote is right for you. Or, if you’re somebody that likes to show off for a night out, then consider an almighty #ChanelDoubleFlap. Whether you are #shopping for #handbags & #scarves or #watches & #jewelry, contact us to set an in-store or virtual appointment with a personal stylist to help you pick that perfect #quality #investment piece 💯

There’s a time and a place for having a case of the blues - and we prefer keeping it to our #fallstyle 🍁 When Fall's biggest colors involve impactful blue tones and classic #burgundy, we get excited about mixing up our palette 🎨 With Pantone’s #ColoroftheYear being #Blue, it’s no wonder that we’re seeing variations on this hue showing up everywhere 💙 My favorite way to incorporate pops of blue is with textures and #accessories - like pairing this fabulous #limitededitionlouisvuitton #bag with blue boots and layering #sapphire #jewelry & a blue #hermesbracelet to take it to the next level 💯 When in doubt, try mixing rich shades of blue with browns and burgundy for a sophisticated look ✨

Yesterday’s “Woman of Substance” luncheon to honor our very own Contessa was one of the most meaningful afternoons celebrating with a group of the most incredible #girlboss #womensupportingwomen ladies 💯 4 of these women have also been fabulous #livingtheauthenticlife podcast guests, and yesterday the Contessa created a magical engagement by taking a moment to go around the table and share a little about each person’s #authentic journey and impact on her life 💕 Laughter and tears filled the room as the Contessa gave a heartfelt tribute to each guest to toast the role these women have played in her life as moms, community advocates, wives, daughters and most of all friends. Some met as strangers but all left as #friends ✨ Here’s to all of the #inspirational 2020 #WomenofSubstance honorees and to the incredible #women who join us in trying to make our world a little better one day at a time, changing the life of one person at a time 🥂🥂
