Why Did You Wear That: Subway Style

As I made my way to the dentist today, yes, the dentist, I realized I have been neglecting a huge sub category of fashion.  Some of the craziest people/outfits I have ever seen have been on the train.  (Don’t worry Mom and Dad-it’s totally safe).  For instance, today, I sat down next to a woman who literally had the LONGEST fingernails I have ever seen in my life.  They weren’t acrylic nails either.  They were au naturale. Creepy!  I finally have figured out how to take photos on my phone without the flash going off, but in this particular instance, I was actually scared.

Anyway, it is now my plan to get lots of hilarious color from the commuter population. They are easy targets too, cause they are stuck underground with me for at least a good five minutes…

On another note, I know people generally hate the dentist, but I seriously went to the best most capable dentist today.  It’s always a gamble when picking doctors/dentists/ob-gyns in NYC, so a good referral is always appreciated.  Dr. Ladani at Central Park Dentistry (yes, it’s ALL the way up town) was amazing. So next time you are due for a good teeth cleaning give him a call- 212-678-1144.  Your teeth are just as important as your shoes, you know.  Nobody likes a snaggle tooth.

Why Did You Wear That: Spring Fever- I Think I’ve Got a Temperature!

Tomorrow is the day we have all been salivating over.  It’s going to be 84 degrees and sunny in New York City.  Terraces, rooftops, lawns, and brunch spots are going to be swamped with sun worshippers. Shoot. You’re still Casper white and not quite ready for this summer-like heat.  Have no fear, I have a few quick fixes!

  • Self tanner (duh!)- There are SO many options out there for faking a tan.  You can go fancy shmancy with Model Co.or pop into Duane Reade for a cheaper version.  If you’re like me, you suck at the application of self tanner and always end up with wonky feet and hands.  A girlfriend of mine suggests smoothing your regular daily lotion over feet and hands after applying tanner to prevent serious streakage.
  • Sundress- Cheap and easy options available from Urban Outfitters to H&M to Target. If you aren’t ready (read: haven’t been to the gym in 6 months) to show off your gams, opt for a long maxi style.
  • Sunglasses- You can pick up a pair of sunglasses on basically every street corner in Manhattan. Or you could pop into Forever21 and grab a cute cheap pair.
  • Hat- Some might opt for the hat. This is great for bad hair days, protecting freshly colored hair, or roots that haven’t been touched up in a while. The straw fedora is still strong for summer.
  • Sandals-Before you put on your sandals, do us a favor and polish your toenails.  We know they’ve been neglected for the past few months, but now’s their time to shine.  I love summer because there are so many cute flat styles of sandals. You can finally give your poor tired feet a break from heels!
  • Sunscreen- Just because you have a “fake tan” doesn’t mean you don’t need protection from the sun. Slather on at least SPF 15 before heading outside.  No need to wake up looking like a lobster.
  • I bring my puppy everywhere. I feel like I’m missing a limb without him.  So, if you feel the same way, don’t forget about that poor little guy. While many restaurants will ask if you want water for your pooch, some don’t.  A travel water bowl is crucial for Fido! A cute bag doesn’t hurt either.

So enjoy your sunny Saturday! Don’t party too hard tonight so that you sleep in and miss the gorgeous day!

Why Did You Wear That: Don’t Fret, My Pets.

Oh, my loves. I didn’t forget about you yesterday. However, I apparently booked a one way ticket to Planet Suck and had no time to post any of my witty and brilliant banter for you to read while pretending to be productive at work.  No worries, I worked it out with my travel agent and am back to the real world.

Anyhow, because you may have felt neglected yesterday, here is a little mindless fodder for you.

Here’s a photo of Lindsay Lohan launching her legging line (6126) at Henri Bendel earlier this year.  Her hair looks like a throwback to Splash while her “leggings” look like she ran into Edward Scissor Hands on her way to the event.  Fun fact: did you know that Lindsay’s legging line has a pair called “Mr. President” with quilted knee pads? Classy. (more…)

Look for Less: Gossip Folks

I’ve watched lots of these shows where they attempt to  “recreate” designer outfits for less, but I get SO annoyed because they are never even close to the original. I mean, I get SO mad that sometimes I must be restrained from chucking the TV out the window. It gets my blood boiling that these people are getting paid for not even coming close. Kind of like being a weather girl.

That’s where I come in. I pride myself on being really good at this. Add it to my special “skills” on my resume. Anyhow, after a juicy episode of Gossip Girl, I was inspired by the lovely ladies to recreate their sizzling style. Whether you’re a Serena or a Blair, I’ve got you covered!

blair

blair-dress

Dress from Forever 21, $22.80

headband

Headband from Forever21, $3.80 (Score!)

blair-shoe

Jeffrey Campbell Stud Ballet Flat, $128

serena

serena-top

Crepe Tunic from Forever21, $27.80

cami

Cami from Forever21, $4.80

serena-shoe

straw

Madison Straw Bag, $45.95

And there you have it. Now you can look like your own Gossip Girl. I think I’m on team Serena… that could have something to do with the blonde hair and our shared love of maltipoos.  Either way, send in any outfits you would like me to “recreate” for you.

Why Did You Wear That: If the Bus is a-Rockin’…

We all have our guilty pleasures and ridiculous reality dating shows are mine.  I seriously can’t get enough.  One of my very favorites, Rock of Love Bus with Bret Michaels, has recently come to an end (tear) and in honor of this, I thought I would highlight some of the girls’ stellar fashion choices.

Rock of Love Bus (the third installment) is by far my favorite!  It is so bad that it’s good. VH1 never ceases to amaze me! They just keep cranking out these genius shows showcasing mentally unstable people and gratuitous T & A.  Thank you, VH1 for rotting my brain and giving me useless things to talk about at cocktail parties.

rock Halloween costume alert- go as the cast of the Rock of Love Bus!  This is too easy. Careful though, get separated from your friends and “Bret” and you may be mistaken for just your standard “call girl.” (more…)
