Why Did You Wear That: Block That Thang Up

By Kirsten|February 8th, 2011|Celebrity Style, Why Did You Wear That?|

The runways were full of splashes of colors for spring. Everyone from Gucci (Katy and Olivia are both wearing Gucci above) to Lanvin to Louis Vuitton sent color blocking down the catwalk.

Olivia, Emmy, and Katy have all been spotted sporting this colorful trend. Color blocking is hot for spring and it’s not a trend for the faint of heart (wallflowers need not apply). Color blocking works best with a mix of brights in the same color family or for a slightly less bold look try a bright color paired with a neutral (black, nude).

Feeling bold? Try it yourself with some of this bright options:

L to R: Equipment Signature Washed Silk Sleeveless Shirt, $180, Paul and Joe Jacoue Mid-Rise Straight Leg Jeans, $280, Jay Godfrey Holden Color Block Racerback Dress, $495, American Apparel Cotton Spandex Jersey Tank Thong, $26, Pleasure Doing Business 5 Band Solid Skirt, $96.80, Betsey Johnson Color Block Long Tank Sweater Dress, $288, BCBG Color Blocked T-shirt Dress, $148

Rock the block.

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.

Girl Crush: You Can Ring My Belle

By Kirsten|February 2nd, 2011|Celebrity Style, Why Did You Wear That?|

A girlfriend of mine BBM’ed me the other day in a total frenzy. She wanted to tell me about her new girl crush and ask me if having feelings of sheer adoration for a fellow female was normal. I reassured her that a good ol’ fashion girl crush is NBD (no big deal). There’s nothing wrong with a little female appreciation. Hell, we could probably use more of that kind of girl power!

Speaking of girl crushes, WhyDid has one of its own. I had seen Camilla Belle in photos here and there and had heard her name, but it wasn’t until I saw her wearing that sexy silver Armani dress to a Golden Globes after party that she really caught my attention. Yowza! Who is that beautiful brunette? Her classically beautiful features and shiny dark locks are only complemented by her flawless skin and killer stems. Sigh, I want to grow up and look like her. Though I’m still not clear as to what exactly she is famous for other than stealing a Jonas brother away from T. Swift (I think she was in A Little Princess – in which case, I’ve definitely seen it), I still think she is a certifiable stunner.

While, the chances of me waking up tomorrow and looking like Camilla are slim to none (I’m banking on none), I’ve compiled a collection of goodies that will have me sharing some of Ms. Belle’s sexy style. Pops of color, shiny metallics, grey pumps, smokey eyes with a glossy lip, and that gorgeous glowing skin are all pieces to the Camilla pie. Don’t mind if I do…

Top (L to R): Yumi Kim Sheila Dress, $193, Ungaro Fever Platform Pumps, $235, Beauty in a Box Smoky Eyes Palette, $36, Tarte Vitamin Infused Lip Gloss, $21

Bottom (L to R): L.A.M.B. Chloe Heels, $325, Victoria’s Secret Ruched Cowlneck Dresss, $58, Pleasure Doing Business Metallic Sweetheart Dress, $330, Nars Bronzing Powder, $33, Keratin Complex Shine, $16

Oh… I’ve just been informed she’s going to be in some movie called From Prada to Nada… well, she’s still pretty.

Why Did You Wear That: A Touch of Turquoise

By Kirsten|February 1st, 2011|Celebrity Style, Why Did You Wear That?|

Seems that the stars of Hollywood have a new best friend. Recent red carpets reveal that the gals are trading in their diamonds for a much more colorful stone in their accessories. The first notable turquoise appearance was on Blake Lively when she wore it to the National Board of Review of Motion Pictures Awards Gala back in January. The pop of unexpected color works especially well with jewel tones, crisp whites, and warm citrus hues. So next time your ensemble seems a bit lackluster, why not add some color with a touch of turquoise.

L to R: Max and Chloe Primadina Turquoise Single Ring, $220, Lauren by Ralph Lauren Turquoise Teardrop Necklace, $78, Kenneth Jay Lane Cabochon Bangle, $150, Ippolita Rock Candy Drop Earrings, $850

L to R: Jose and Maria Barrera Turquoise Teardrop Earrings, $240, Jose and Maria Barrera Long Pendant Necklace, $1,025, Kendra Scott Pop Some Bubbly Cocktail Ring, $75, Jose and Maria Barrera Multi Strand Turquoise Bracelet, $490

Why Did You Wear That: White Hot

By Kirsten|January 25th, 2011|Celebrity Style, Why Did You Wear That?|

The weather outside is frightful (unless you live in Los Angeles), but there’s no need to stay curled up inside like a hermit or flip your shit like the abominable snowman. Take a note from some very stylish celebs. Wearing white after Labor Day is no longer a fashion faux pas. Some of the sexiest starlets have been sporting winter white on all of the hottest red carpets.

So, before you reserve yourself to alpaca and shearling for the rest of the winter months, why not try out this winter’s most fiercely feminine color? Be sure to pick something in a heavier (winter weight) fabric. If you live somewhere especially frigid, look for long sleeves and pair your look with opaque or patterned tights. For footwear? Add a dash of color or something shiny!
