Why Did You Wear That: Since You Obviously Missed the Memo

So, in the last two days, I have received SEVERAL inquiries as to why I have not yet discussed the latest heinous “As Seen On TV” product… Pajama Jeans.  Well, the fact of the matter is, my friends, I covered this. Let’s take a moment to revisit the post here.

That’s right. Almost a year ago, I saw these satanic excuses for pants on TV and had hoped they would just: Go. Away.  It seemed they did for awhile, but as of late I’m beginning to think that Pajama Jeans received a second round of Pajama Jean financing and amped up their marketing efforts.  Now, every fifteen minutes, there is a commercial for these walking fire hazards. I really don’t have it in me to “expand” on this topic. Just don’t let me catch you wearing them. I will be forced to find the closest sharp object and impale your heart with it.

So, don’t worry. I’m aware of the situation. I’m just going to continue pretending it isn’t there in hopes that it will just Go. Away.

Why Did You Wear That: Twinkle Toes

My grandpa used to call me “Twinkle Toes” and maybe that’s why I have such an affinity for these sparkly shoes.  I believe he called me Twinkle Toes because I was a prima ballerina (in my own mind), but  I have a feeling that nickname has nothing to do with my insatiable thirst for all things shiny. In any case, everywhere you look right now, there are sparkly, shiny, glitter covered shoes and nothing could make me happier (except maybe a 25 foot chandelier).  Check out these shiners sure to catch somebody’s eye:

Christian Louboutin Lady Peep Glittered Pump, $895

Betsey Johnson Ruby Pumps with Crystals, $238

PS: I haven’t been able to post my own pic in these posts because I’m in the middle of Pennsylvania right now with a suitcase full of cozy cashmere to keep me warm. So, until next week you’ll need to live without my mug.

Monday Mashup: Can You Tell Me How to Get to Sesame Street?

So, while we all suffer through a blizzard, Miss Paris Hilton frolicked on the beaches of Hawaii this past week.  She’s been much more low key these days (thank heavens) and here I am dragging her back into the spotlight.  Well, whatever. I couldn’t help but think that P. Hilton has a striking resemblance to one of our favorite childhood characters… Big Bird!  Since, I know that Paris is far too young to be moonlighting as Mr. Bird, himself, I started to wonder is this her Aunt Kim? I mean… she did say (repeatedly) she was a child star…

Why Did You Eat That: Meet the Parents

During the holiday season, there is a lot of meet and greet with family members.  For some this may be the first meeting. For others it is round two, three, or four with the in laws. In either case, it can be quite overwhelming.

Last week, my fiance met my mother for the first time. While the pressure wasn’t really on me, I did want to have an enjoyable experience. For a night out on the town, I chose to take my mom and fiance to Morandi.  It’s a great place for your parents to get the “New York experience” without overwhelming them with bottle popping and rail thin model types. Not to mention, the food is pretty delicious.

The staff is very knowledgable about wine and helped us choose a bottle everyone would enjoy. We ordered the olive ascalone (fried green olives stuffed with sausage) and the carciofi alla giude (fried artichokes with lemon). My fiance ordered the guinea hen, I had the gnocchi special, and my mom noshed on pappardelle integrali con pancetta (whole wheat pasta with pancetta, broccoli rabe, and radicchi). Everything was delightful and we were happily stuffed. Seeing as everyone was getting along swimmingly and my mom was a few glasses of wine in, we headed over to Soho House to really get the party started.

So what should a young lady wear when going to meet her future in laws?  There is no need for a turtleneck and pearls. No one believes you are that innocent, but covering up a bit and coming across more wholesome than your normal Saturday night tube top won’t hurt. Try a warm and cozy sweater and patterned pants. Looking pulled together and sophisticated will put your future mother in law at ease.  No one will ever be good enough for her baby boy, but at least you’ll come close.

J. Crew Cashmere Cowlneck Sweater, $228

Fred Flare Black and Grey Sid Pants, $49.99

Ann Taylor Covered Platform Bootie, $228

Botkier Metallic Night Out Cross Body Bag, $195

Kenneth Jay Lane Black Diamond Chandelier Earrings, $100

Welcome to the family!

“Jeggings” Are Also Not Pants

Sophia Vergara is undoubtedly a beautiful and sexy woman, so if there ever was a time to build a winning case against “jeggings” this would be it. I present to you, Exhibit A:

I mean, first and foremost, her cameltoe just poked my eye out. I can see the the painted on “stitching” that she is pretending is a “fly.” Not convinced? Let’s move along to Exhibit B then:

Pardon me, Sofia, but I can see through your pants. The stress your buttocks is putting on your spandex/acrylic/manmade jeggings is proving to be too much. One foul move and your jeggings won’t live to see another day. Um, your honor, ladies and gentleman of the jury, I think I have proven my case.
