Why Did You Wear That: One Dress, Three Ways (Rated R)

By |February 14th, 2014|Personal Style, Why Did You Wear That?|

kirsten smithThe moment the door closes behind me upon arriving home after a long day, or a late night, the clothes are immediately removed.  It’s funny that a woman who loves clothing as much as I do spends so little time in it.  So, it’s a good thing I love silky nighties and lingerie.  That’s why when I came across a dress that could combine all these things, a space was cleared in my closet for it.  A couple of years ago, celebrities like Erin Heatherton and Lea Michele made this look quite popular.   I wasn’t an early adopter, I must admit.  But when a woman works that hard for her body, she wants to show it off.  And if you’re not Lady Gaga or Beyonce, the opportunity to wear a leotard in public comes up rarely if ever.  Ta-da!  No pants, no problem. And if you are looking for a really scary look for your costume then check out these white-out contacts as they look so cool.

Friday Frocks: I’m Just a Love Machine

By |February 14th, 2014|Friday Frocks|

i need valentino

 

Single or taken, Valentine’s Day conveniently falls on a Friday this year and so more likely than not, you will be leaving the confines of your cozy apartment to take on the town.  So, you may as well get into the spirit of this force fed love fest.  You don’t necessarily have to sausage yourself into a spandex red dress, although I’m sure those will be aplenty.  Opt for something softer in shades of pink or go bold in a graphic print be it floral, hearts, or darling polka dots.

Gift Guide: First Time for Everything

By |February 14th, 2014|Gift Guide|

40-year-old-virginOne of the best parts about being in a relationship other than having someone to keep your feet warm is the level of intimacy that can be reached.  I’m not sure all guys understand that the longer you’re with a woman and the more she trusts you, the hotter things can (and will) get.  While I’m a firm believer that things should be steamy year round, even in the chilly winter months, it’s nice to have a day especially dedicated to pure romance.  So, have some fun with it and be thankful that you’ve got somebody to share your hopes, dreams, and dirty little secrets with.

Why Did You Wear That: One Dress, Three Way (Rated PG)

By |February 13th, 2014|Personal Style, Why Did You Wear That?|

kirsten smithTo show a little more skin in this dress from For Love & Lemons, I scratched the catsuit and slipped into a silk slip.  As soon as there was more skin showing, the level of drama was amped up.  Mo’ skin, mo’ drama?  Since it is still arctic, I added a fur jacket, gold chains, and a big bag to stow my scarf and gloves in between transit.
