Friday Frocks: Dress the Part

By Kirsten|December 24th, 2010|Friday Frocks|

If there’s one theme we should all be able to get behind, it’s gotta be the beautiful holly berry red of Christmas. You can totally pull it off without looking absolutely ridiculous and it’s a hell of a lot better than those wretched “ugly Christmas sweater” parties. (Who thinks- better yet participates- in such things?) Anyway, why not get into the holiday spirit by slipping into something that would make even Santa smile? Besides, you’ve gotta find something to put on with those cherry red lips.

Why Did You Wear That: Green With Envy

By Kirsten|December 7th, 2010|Personal Style, Why Did You Wear That?|

This time of year, most people think of red for holiday dressing. Well, I say, why not go against the grain? Who wants to blend into the crowd when you can lead the pack? Rather than going with the obvious crimson dress, seek out something green. Green is actually much more flattering and easier to wear for all skin tones. Whether you go evergreen or army, going green is sure to leave them envious.
