Setting the Mood: Amazing Lace

By Kirsten|November 14th, 2011|Setting the Mood|

Lace, unlike any other textile has the ability to be simultaneously sensuous and sweet. Such a delicate fabric holds so much power. Whether chantilly or guipure, lace leaves just enough to the imagination while remaining feminine rather than foul. Incorporating a touch of lace can add ladylike softness to any attire.

Rough day at the office? A warm bubble bath, sweet scented candles, and slipping into a flirty lace chemise or robe is the ultimate remedy. It doesn’t even matter if no one sees it, but it may be more fun if they do.

Monday Mashup: Fruitastic Fail

By Kirsten|November 14th, 2011|Monday Mashup|

Why yes, Katy Perry, you do look a whole lot like this pink haired plastic playtoy that so many of us lovingly called, Strawberry Shortcake. And while she was my hero when I was no taller than a step stool, I’m not sure that as a grown woman you want to share much in common with this fruity femme… except for say, her strawberry scented coif.

Katy, are you having a quarter life crisis? Or is Russell into some freaky fetish role playing thing? The only thing I am certain of is that you look absolutely ridiculous… but let’s see what the WhyDid’ers have to say about your fruity follicles:

Now that’s not berry nice.

Why Did You Wear That: Trail Blazers

By Kirsten|November 13th, 2011|Look for Less, Why Did You Wear That?|

You may only associate the blazer as a piece of clothing worn by uptight businessmen and those ladies who wear white sneakers on their commute to work, but I’d like to let you in on a little style secret. The blazer is far less boring and uptight than you think it is. As a matter of fact, a blazer can go great for a laid back weekend running errands or a night out on the town with your girlfriends. Check out how Heidi, Miranda, and Blake all incorporated this style staple into their wardrobes this week:

Weekend Playlist: Katie Don’t Play That

By Kirsten|November 12th, 2011|Weekend Playlist|

When I tire of listening to the same playlist over and over and over…. and. Well, you see where I’m headed. I turn to my dear friend, Katie (who, if you will recall, guest “dj’ed” before). She poo poo’s my Christina and Bruno and pulls me out from my teenage pop abyss. I mean, that’s what friends are for, right? Listen, Katie knows her music– so, if anyone’s looking for an A&R, this is the girl. Anyway, I asked Katie to please, please, please make me a playlist that wouldn’t make someone over the age of 16 cringe and she put together this little party:

Oh, Katie… just climbing her way to the top of the charts.
