Why Did You Wear That: Cougar Town

By Kirsten|September 15th, 2010|Why Did You Wear That?|

After spending the morning discussing menopausal women, I figured it was only right to discuss another one of fall’s trends. Oh that’s right, I’m talking about animal print. Whichever feline you happen to prefer (cougar, leopard, cheetah), it just isn’t going anywhere, folks. Another season, another runway packed full of the spotted puss. Animal print is here to stay. So whether you decide to deck yourself or just add a bit of fur, you’re sure to look fierce in the print of the season.

Would You Wednesday: Kelly Osbourne

By Kirsten|September 15th, 2010|Why Did or Why Don't?|

First and foremost, I want to say, “Dammmn, gurl!” When did Kelly O get so sexy and svelte? She really looks amazing and she was for sure my favorite on Dancing with the Stars (wait: did I say that out loud?). Anyway, I would love to know how she got/stayed in such great shape. Why do I feel that it may involve the drinking of young pig’s blood? Regardless of how great she looks… it will not excuse this little number:

Here’s Kelly at V Magazine’s party at the Standard in New York on Monday night. I mean… isn’t she on E!’s Fashion Police? Hm… I smell foul play.

Beauty Buzz: Moody Nudes

By Kirsten|September 14th, 2010|Beauty Buzz|

Boy, do I love a black nail, but I’m kind of tiring of seeing girls wear it in an attempt to be “edgy” or “vampy.” My bf bought me an amazing shade by OPI for Sephora called “Never Enough Shoes.” It’s mixture of black lacquer with a sprinkle of glitter (double win in my book), but when I bore of looking like all the rest of you, I will most certainly switch to these muted nude tones from Chanel:

Les Khakis de Chanel are the perfect fall transitional colors sure to go with all trends for fall… from animal print to minimalist silhouettes. So, if you want to stand out in the loud crowd of onyx tips, brush on on these muted colors and just … shut. up.

Why Did You Wear That: What the Flat?!

By Kirsten|September 13th, 2010|Why Did You Wear That?|

I’ve never worn a pair of flats to work, so I know how hard heels are on your tootsies during a long day at the office. That being said, I HAVE NEVER WORN A PAIR OF FLATS TO WORK. Not sure if you know, but beauty is pain. If you’d like to look like a 4’9 midget, please, feel free to slap on your Tory Burch flats and strut on in to the office. Be prepared for no one to pay attention to you or take you seriously. It’s been proven that women in heels are perceived as more “powerful.” I am also aware that unless we’re taking cabs/being chaffuered to work, our heels can take some serious abuse on the commute. So, I get it. We need some alternative footwear. However, there is no need for you to strap your feet into these:

Dr. Scholl’s Fast Flats, $9.99

Oh… yeah. Cause I need to wear trash bags on my feet. So, so, so unattractive. Why not opt for something a little more upscale, like custom flip flops if you must swap out your footwear.

Hey, either way, it’s better than tights and sneakers.

VMA(F)- Very Much A Failure

By Kirsten|September 13th, 2010|Red Carpet Recap, Why Did You Wear That?|

Eminem, Rihanna

Um, so first and foremost, I’m going to pose the question: When is the last time MTV actually even played a music video? Do people still make videos? Why? Seems like a whole lot of money to dump into something that has zero return rate, no? Kinda like a first wife.

Anyway, I’m not going to even bother with any type of fashion recap, cause quite honestly, it was all wretched and I don’t want to suffer through it for a second time. It’s bad enough that MTV will now continuously replay the VMA’s for a solid two an a half weeks. So, in case you missed it (and you miss it for the next 465 times they play it), here’s all you need to know:

Eminem is the smartest man on the planet. Demand that you open the show. Collect your money. Get the eff out of there.
No one felt like actually singing last night (minus Usher and Taylor Swift). Lip synching is the new black.
Lady Gaga is still a freak.
Chelsea Handler (god lover her) needed more vodka. I was almost as uncomfortable watching her as she was delivering her punchlines.
Taylor Swift and Kanye apparently still aren’t over it.
It seems hair streaks are coming back in “style.”
Justin Bieber is going to be a huge dickhead in two years.
Rihanna still looks like a muppet.
Speaking of muppets, Lindsay Lohan stopped by.
I need to watch more TV, cause I didn’t know who half the people on my screen were.
MTV probably needs to start playing more music videos or stop having the VMA’s. One or the other.
It would appear that Pharrell drives a Chevy.
There’s only one way to tell the difference between Justin Bieber and Hilary Swank
EVERYONE has a British accent.
Jared Leto is channeling Ellen Degeneres.
Taylor lost her shoes. Oops.
Kanye does not grasp the concept of irony.
