The Weekend Guide....

Inauguration fever is here.... Whether your heading out to D.C. for the weekend's events or planning a celebration soiree at home, here's a few chic ideas:

Traveling To DC: Thinking about leaving on Tuesday??? With the expected traffic pile-up you may get you into the capital on Thursday!

Seriously, if your heading down Sunday evening/early Monday may be your best bet. Amtrak is an ideal choice for those who'd rather not navigate through the traffic and endless security checkpoints.

Bundle Up & Look Chic: The weather is predicting a bitterly cold and windy Inauguration Day. Just because the weather's frightful, doesn't mean you have to look that way too! The integral feature of a stunning Inugural look is most definitely a fab coat. Of course you’ll need tights that will keep your legs super-warm. And don't forget about a chic hat, scarf and gloves too keep you warm...

Last Minute Event Shopping: Head down to the mall this weekend and snag an awesome deal like this, this or maybe even these.

Inauguration Soiree Hostess Tips

Decor: Show your American pride with a dazzling decor of silver, red and blue (yes, I said silver). Or better yet, whip out those decorations from last year's 4th of July Celebration!

Swag: There is no shortage of Obama related products. Depending on your budget, gift bags could include t-shirts, wrist bands, hats, or just about any patriotic item you can get your hands on.

Menu: Serve a decadent menu reflecting President-Elect Obama's diverse background. Try Mini-Chicago Style Pizzas, a Hawaiian salad, or a traditional Kenyan dish of samosas.
