Monday Mashup: Play to Win

By Kirsten|February 7th, 2011|Monday Mashup|

So, as many of you know, this past weekend was the Superbowl (um, go Steelers?). While the Superbowl just used to be something my dad got excited about, it has now turned into yet another opportunity for celebrities to show up at yet another red carpet event and get their pictures taken. I mean, why not?

Leading up to the big game, there were parties galore for these celebs to mix, mingle, and collect more photo credits. Here are two lovely young ladies who did just that:

Brooklyn Decker and Anne Vyalitsyna both attended star studded pre-superbowl festivities with their boos. While they are both leggy blonde models with mega star significant others, one came prepared and the other looked like she didn’t even know she was playing the game (kind of like the Packers and the Steelers). Listen, just cause you’re a supermodel (or you’ve won six Superbowls) doesn’t mean you can just show up and expect to win. Being a winner takes a lot more than just showing up.

I get that Andy and Brooklyn own a residence somewhere in Texas, so perhaps Andy told Brooklyn they were just running out to pick up some wings and beer, but her sequin shorts lead me to believe that she was well aware they were headed somewhere fancy. My point is this: Brooklyn, you are notthatfamous.com to show up at a star studded event looking as if you just awoke from an afternoon nap. Take a note from Anne and step your game up. Steelers, I’m talking to you in riddles.

Better luck next year…

The List Volume XXXVII

By Kirsten|February 4th, 2011|The List|

I wonder at times if someone has a voodoo doll with my face on it because the hits just keep on coming…

Cantaloupe. It’s bullshit filler fruit. Why do you insist on putting it in my fruit salad?
Old people (the executive types) who keep trying to use “social media” but have no idea how to log onto Facebook.
Celebrity perfumes. I do not, by any means want to smell like Halle Berry, Jennifer Anniston, or Britney Spears. Remember when actors just used to —act?
The guy on the treadmill next to me boxing with the TV screen. Is that really necessary, sir?
Camping.
The buzz word “curated.” Enough already.
WHAT THE F*$^ are these?
That big bootied celeb who complained about those (heavily photoshopped) photos in W. I can’t bring myself to say her name.
People who are basically just waiting for you to stop talking so they can talk.
Hosni Mubarak

Why Did You Wear That: CDG –> LAX

By Kirsten|February 4th, 2011|Celebrity Style|

I haven’t talked about this little lady in a while…

Oh, hey Paris! I’m not sure whether the actual outfit or the look on her face is what kills me the most. She looks so proud of herself. To be quite honest, if I didn’t know this was Paris, I would think it was just a waitress from T.G.I. Fridays on break at the airport. Well, except she seems to be missing some “flair.”

Let’s take a closer look:

Oh, I stand corrected. The matching hat and fingerless gloves really just put this ensemble over the edge. Talk about flair! I’m always baffled by fingerless gloves. I understand them when they have the little mitten type of thing that covers your fingers when you’re done texting. That makes sense to me. The ones that are just fingerless for the sake of being fingerless seem to be a bit of an oxymoron. Not to mention, Paris isn’t dressed like she’s particularly cold anywhere else besides, I suppose, her wrists.

Speaking of flair… Her cheesy flare legged black pants and bizarre puff sleeve shirt only further confuse me. And the red diaper bag? I thought it might be one of her poor sweet animals inside, but I don’t see any breathing holes… so for the sake of Tinkerbell, let’s hope it’s just a fugly purse. Let’s just cross our fingers that Paris is hopping a flight out of town… to a place with no paparazzi so we are not subjected to fashion f*ck up’s like this one.

Beauty Buzz: Shield Your Skin

By Kirsten|February 3rd, 2011|Beauty Buzz|

I’ve gone on at lengths about how important it is to take good care of your skin at an early age. It’s called prevention. I only wish I had not spent so much time in tanning beds in college because even though I’m still young, I’ve already started to notice the effects that excessive UV exposure has had on my precious dermis. Thanks God sun damage can be effectively treated at Touch Up Laser (you can check here for details).

Every single day, you should be applying SPF along with your regular skincare regimen. Even when it’s winter, even when it’s hazy, even when you don’t feel like it. Sometimes it can be hard to find a formula that isn’t greasy or smelly or doesn’t make your skin break out. Enter Remede Translucent UV Coat:

Remede Translucent UV Coat SPF 30, $40

This stuff is incredibly light weight (and oil free!) while covering any imperfections and leaving your skin looking literally flawless. You can’t even tell that you have anything on your face, but it will make you look like you’ve never had a pimple or exposed your skin to the harsh elements. It is probably the best stuff I’ve ever owned. Anyone who knows me, knows that I despise foundation and powder. I’d rather walk around with a huge blinking blemish showing than cake up my face with tons of concealer. So, not only is your skin now sheer perfection, you are also guarding it from those pesky UV rays and preventing wrinkles. Double win. You may think $40 a pop is steep… but it’s a heck of a lot cheaper than a facelift.

Would You Wednesday: Sock on This

By Kirsten|February 2nd, 2011|Why Did or Why Don't?|

For as long as I can remember, socks and sandals have not only been a fashion faux pas, they’ve been a fashion “oh heeeeell no.” Well, it seems things, they are a changin’… or it’s just another sign of the apocalypse. In any case, it seems that wearing socks with your sandals is becoming somewhat socially acceptable.

Shown above by Burberry, socks with sandals can actually look quite chic and the trend is popping up all over the place for spring. While I like it in the photo, I worry that like most things, this trend will not be translated properly by the masses and then we’ll be bombarded with a bunch of jackasses who got it all wrong. I guess this a good trend for the gals who can’t wait to wear their new spring sandals… or just need a pedicure.

So, socks and sandals: tres geek or tres chic?

You sock.
