Friday Frocks: Slip This On

By |February 27th, 2015|Beauty & Trends, Friday Frocks, Why Did You Wear That?|

how to wear a nightgown dressI was once at a bar where a guy asked me if I wanted to slip into something more comfortable… like a coma.  Needless to say, that went over like a lead balloon.  In any case, if you are looking to look like Rosie (Huntington-Whiteley) on any given night of the week, then you’re going to need a slip that you can dress up to get down.  The best news is, you won’t need PJ’s for the sleepover you are sure to get an invitation to.

Why Did or Why Don’t: Slip into Something More Comfortable

rosie huntington whiteley slipIn the past month, Rosie Huntington Whiteley has made headlines for wearing her underpinnings on the outside- on more than one red carpet occasion.  Personally, I love the look as I’ve worn a nightgown out on the town more than a few times, but it seems to have caught many celebrity fashion onlookers off guard.  How on Earth does a woman other than Blanche Devereaux wear a slip outside the confines of the boudoir?  Well, let’s be serious, many dresses currently on the market leave less to the imagination than a silky slip of fabric.  To me, the implication of what lies underneath is much sexier than four thousand strategically placed cut outs, sheer panels, or up to there slits.  Should you want to follow Rosie’s lead, below is one way to make a very glamourous nightie’s night out complete.

Setting the Mood: In the Mood for Love… or Something

valentines day fashion inspiration

This Saturday, I plan on changing up my standard behaviors of drinking wine in bed watching Sex and the City re-runs, by doing the same thing with one of my best friends in our underwear.  That’s right, it’s Valentine’s Day (or as it’s been renamed, Singles’ Awareness Day).  Truth be told, I love red roses– so long as there isn’t one single sprig of baby’s breath within a five mile radius.  I also love lingerie from this website, chocolate, gifts, and well, love, and that’s why many couples enjoy to spend time together and also use toys as a butt vibrator to enjoy their love.  I don’t actually have a problem with the holiday other than the fact that it’s a commercially manufactured one and it’s still not legal to marry your pet as there are not really any other suitable males in my life to spend February 14th with.

It seems a little counterintuitive to combine wearing skimpy lingerie while overindulging in chocolate, but then again, I enjoy all my meals in bed, so I’m in.  If you don’t have a significant other, or even if you do, I think Valentine’s Day is a great a day as any to show yourself a little bit of love.

Setting the Mood: American Girl in Paris, Part Une

If you’re following me on Instagram (and if you’re not, shame on you), you probably know that I have just arrived home from my first trip to Paris. For years I dreamt of being whisked away with the one I love to the city of lights, but once I realized taking myself was probably more likely if I wanted to make it there before I required special assistance during the airplane boarding process than waiting for the man of my dreams, I booked my ticket.  I didn’t know what to expect, though my friends who are regular travelers gave me an extensive list of what to see, do, eat, and buy, so I didn’t know what to pack.  I specifically remember speaking to my father before my departure when he said, “Well, you’re only going for a week.  You won’t need to pack much.”  Laughter ensued.  Upon checking in at the airport, I had to muster my feminine wiles to avoid an overweight baggage fee.  Fortunately, it wasn’t a very full flight.  I’ve always said that pictures will never be good enough.  Pictures may be worth a thousand words, but experiencing a city for yourself is something that can only be felt.  New York, I love you, but Paris is my mistress.

Setting the Mood: Hut, Set, Whatever.

what to wear to the superbowlAs I’ve now returned from gallivanting in the streets of Paris, I’ve been reminded that this Sunday marks the 49th annual Super Bowl.  God bless, America.  Honestly, I woke up not knowing what day it was and reaching for the champagne.  So, I guess I’ll feign interest for the next few days until I can return to giving less than zero fucks about sports.  I suppose my only weighted interest in the game should be that my spirit animal, Lenny Kravitz, will be performing with that chick who has it out for Taylor Swift.

This just in, I Googled the teams playing and it’s going to be some East Coast, West Coast/Biggie, Tupac helmet bashing between the New England Patriots and the Seattle Seahawks.  Coming from a fashion standpoint, Gisele is married to the Patriots quarterback, so that’s my pick.  Whichever team you will be (pretending) to cheer for, here are a few ways to look sporty chic for the game.
