Jennifer Howard Moore
Stylish, motivated planner of sensational & stress-free events!
Jennifer Moore loves nothing more than a good party! After five years as an attorney, she decided to follow her passion for planning, and launched Miss Fancy Pants Events! Experience the art of entertaining – for every imaginable event - whether it’s a dream wedding ; a hip cocktail party; blow-out children’s party,or something in between! See for yourself on her website, and experience the perfectly-planned party at our Simply Social and WellAdjusted Party!
HMS is thrilled to get to know this detail-diva and learn all about what she finds to be haute stuff!
Favorite vacation spot?
Not sure that I have a favorite – if there is a beach, I am happy! Right now I am dreaming of a vacation to Santorini, Greece. It just looks so beautiful!
Favorite restaurant?
Holly Hill Inn or Black Tulip in Midway are my favorite local restaurants and are our go-to restaurants when we have out-of-town guests visit us.
Cocktail of choice?
Champagne and PAMA
Favorite gift to give?
It all depends on the recipient but I like to give something personalized or from a local artist. MEllen Designs does great stationary and SallyB has great jewelry! Its also fun to make baskets for people with groups of smaller gifts that work together – like a tailgate basket for friends that love football or a “relax” basket of spa goodies for a friend who has been under alot of
stress.
Favorite personal item?
Its sad, but probably my iPhone. It is how I stay in touch with my family and friends that do not live in Lexington, which is really important to me.
Style icon?
Sarah Jessica Parker. She always looks so adorable and appropriate. Is she too young to be an icon?
Favorite designer?
My favorite event designer is Mindy Weiss. Her events are beautiful and unique. I love the fun, personal touches that she includes for each client.
How do you define style? Any style advice?
This is a tough one. Whether it’s attire, interior decorating or an event, style is so personal and what works for one person does not always work for another. It all has to do with attitude. I tend to favor a hodgepodge of styles, mixing new with vintage. My advice is to develop what feels good and not be afraid of risks.
Top of your style/wardrobe wishlist?
Recently, my focus has been decorating our house and there is a great ottoman that I want for my living room that Shannon Lisk designed. I even got my puppy to chew up the coffee table so it needed replacing, but I have not convinced my husband that we need it…yet.
What is in your beauty bag?
I am a total product junkie so my beauty bag has several pots of eyeshadow and lip gloss, multiple tubes of mascara, several shades of rouge and various other lotions and powders. Two constants are my MAC mascara and Kerstin Florin sunscreen.
How do you define true luxury?
I think it changes with my mood. Right now, true luxury is snuggling into a bed made up with a fabulous set of sheets with my puppies and husband after a day of golf in perfect weather and a romantic dinner with great wine and food. Next week, it might involve a facial at a great spa!
Favorite mantra?
Mantras are a little strange to me…I guess “cute and fun”? It seems to fit every situation and if it is “cute and fun” it can’t be that terrible!
What motivates you the most? Who inspires you?
I love a challenge and I love to set a goal and find a way to reach it. I am much happier when I have lots of balls in the air and have way too much to
do!
What do you love most about event planning?
I love the moment when all of the details come together and everyone is having a good time. It makes all of the hard work pay off.
Any tips for women wanting to start their own business venture?
Make a plan and go for it!

Jennifer Nime Palumbo
Host of The Fox 56 Morning Edition
Fun, friendly, fashionable reporter and one serious hautemomma!
We love the Fox 56 Morning Edition! It’s the only local program from 7-8am with all the headlines, weather, and so many great news features we can really use (Ask The Doctor & Fitness Fridays to name a few!) Jennifer and Todd make mornings fun and help get the day off to a great start!!
Don’t miss our Derby Fashion Show!
Thursday, April 23rd - 7 am on Fox 56!
Now it’s our turn! HMS is honored to have the opportunity to interivew Jennifer to find out more about what she thinks is haute (and how she looks so great so early in the morning!)
Favorite vacation spot?
Ft. Lauderdale, Florida and the Grove Park Inn in Asheville, NC.
Favorite restaurant?
Bellini’s in Lexington and Charley’s Crab in Ft. Lauderdale.
Cocktail of choice?
Nuvo. It is a sparkling liqueur made of Vodka and sparkling wine. The only place in Lexington I can find it is Liquor Barn.
Favorite gift to give?
Books.
Favorite personal item?
Starbucks Sirena Espresso Machine. Since Starbucks isn’t open at 4 a.m., this is the next best way to get my skinny vanilla latte ‘fix’.
Favorite designer?
Elie Tahari.
How do you define style?
For me, style is about feeling good about yourself on the inside and expressing that on the outside.
Any style advice?
Wear high heels. They are the perfect accessory to any outfit, from jeans to dresses and make your legs look longer.
Top of your style/wardrobe wishlist?
A great pair of brown boots.
What’s in your beauty bag?
Bobbi Brown bronzing powder, Estee Lauder Bold Volume Lifting Mascara, Benefit Lemon Aid (great for dark circles), Garnier Skin Renew Anti-Puff Eye Roller (when you’ve had 4 hours of sleep but don’t want to look like it).
How do you define true luxury?
Being able to sleep past 4 in the morning!
Favorite mantra?
Pay it forward.
What motivates you the most?
I am motivated by a desire to make a difference whether it is in the lives of my husband and children or the viewers who watch my newscast. I believe I have a responsibility to give back because I have been given so much.
Who inspires you?
I am inspired by ordinary people overcoming great odds to do extraordinary things. One of my favorite stories is that of Adam Bender, the Lexington boy who didn’t let having one leg stop him from playing the sports he loves.
How did you “get into the business”?
My first job after college was working on the assignment desk at the London bureau of ABC News. I loved living in England and seeing how network news operated, but I longed to be in the field covering the news. So I came back to the U.S. and got my first on-air job at WYMT-TV in Hazard. I worked 12-hour days that included anchoring the morning news and shooting my own stories. I never looked back!
Did you always know you wanted to pursue a career in broadcast journalism?
Originally I thought I wanted to work in print journalism, but once I did an intership at a TV station in Cincinnati, I realized my true passion. I love the immediacy of TV news and working against so many deadlines instead of just one.
Any advice for young women dreaming of breaking into the industry?
If you do not have a passion for journalism and telling stories, find another profession. The hours and starting pay are bad, and the stress level is high. I see young women coming into the business who are more worried about being on television than being journalists, and they rarely last long in the business. The fact that I have lasted this long is due to a little luck and a lot of drive for a profession that is also my passion.
