Who's That Girl?

Who Am I?

With my first DC Celine post in December 2005, it turns out I'm one of the pioneers of the DC fashion blogging scene. So with this being my love, and not my #DayJob, I'm a mistress at balancing work and play. By day, I'm a contractor for the federal government, using my super powers to serve our country, but by night (after bedtime for her “Beans” aged 5 and 2.5), I pine after the “it” factor. “H” (better known as #besthusbandever) and I don’t believe badass has an expiration date, so we hit concerts, shows, restaurants, and openings across the globe (ok, sometimes we make it as far as New York, but we want to be global).

But what I really love? Fashion. And style. And finding yourself as you explore that. So...can't figure out what to wear to your ex-boyfriend's fiancée's wedding shower? Post a comment or send me an email at DCCeline.blogspot at gmail.com...and maybe inspiration will strike.

So Your Name's Not Celine?

Nope. It's Alison. Alison Santighian.

Rene Russo in The Thomas Crown Affair. I stayed til the end of the credits just to see what she was wearing. And I guessed right. Céline by Michael Kors. It was the first time I recognized something other than Chanel on first sight. Won't ever forget it. Soft, structured, oatmeal-colored knits - and her auburn hair. Gorgeous. (Almost so memorable that I forgot to admire Pierce.)

My first name purchase turned out to be a KORS by Michael Kors coat. 3/4-length, bare sheen. I wear it everywhere. Treat it gently. Keep wearing it even though I haven't sewn the top button back on. Nor have I opened the pockets. Just never got around to it.

So I have a little Céline by Michael Kors - or rather, a Michael Kors obsession. And it was Céline that started it all.
