Red Carpet Recap: Childhood Favorites

By Kirsten|July 23rd, 2012|Red Carpet Recap|

If you weren’t watching The Bachelorette finale last night, it was obviously only because you were watching this year’s Teen Choice Awards. Known to be the more squeaky clean of award shows, Hollywood’s youngest stars came out in droves in hopes of collecting that shiny surfboard. Well, I don’t really care too much who wins what, I’m really just focused on who wore what. What came to my attention as I gathered images for this recap was that while some of Hollywood’s hottest looked downright adorable, perhaps others were taking that whole wholesome look to extremes. It would appear some of the ladies were channeling their favorite childhood characters. (To be fair, I had to Google 89% of these people. I guess that’s what happens when you are middle aged).

If you didn’t know who these were, you’re too young to be reading this…

Why Did You Wear That: Who Wears Short Shorts?

By Kirsten|July 22nd, 2012|Celebrity Style, Look for Less, Why Did You Wear That?|

When you think of shorts, you probably automatically envision a casual day running errands or just hanging out in the backyard (ha, backyard). Rarely, would you think of shorts as formal, but as of late, shorts have taken a turn towards formal. Celebrities have opted for shorts on the red carpet and have dressed up even their casual cut offs with feminine blouses. So, next time you’re staring into the depths of your closet trying to figure out what exactly to wear, don’t forget about your abbreviated pants (also known as shorts). Dressed up with heels and a sexy blouse, you have another option for a warm weather evening look that is anything but expected.

Weekend Playlist: You Are My Obsession

By Kirsten|July 21st, 2012|Weekend Playlist|

I’ve talked before about needing the right music on while I’m working. I can not have a TV on or someone talking to me when I’m trying to write, so it’s a very delicate balance as to what I can listen to. It also depends what I’m working on. For instance, when I’m going deep and dark, I need something more moody. For some less intense (but equally entertaining) writing, I need my playlist to be a bit more upbeat, but not bubble gum pop. Again… very delicate balance. If it’s too good, I’m liable to get up and dance on the coffee table, yet I’d still like to sway in my seat. I created this playlist specifically for such occasion, but have not stopped listening to it since.

Sorry for the wonky playlist screenshot, but I couldn’t get my Spotify “play button” to work and will update for your listening pleasure as soon as I do.

The List Volume LXXX

By Kirsten|July 20th, 2012|The List|

I mean, I guess better late than never, right? It’s only 8:45 in California… and even earlier in Hawaii. So just pretend you’re drinking a mai tai in Maui and pretend I posted on time… shh…

The phrase, “right meow.” I don’t know who started it, but it must stop.
Picking the one stall with no toilet paper.
Pulling your hair up into the perfect messy mess and having one piece hanging down in a “rat tail.”
Flying hungover. Not good. Anyone who’s been to Vegas can vouch, I’m sure.
Getting the chatty cab driver. In the words of the oh so eloquent Rihanna, “Shut up and drive.”

Solo underwear dance parties.
If one dog is good, three dogs are better.
Learning to love your natural hair color.
Chloe Moretz.
Screaming at the very top of your lungs. Pillow or no pillow.

I promise to be on time next week… maybe.

Why Did You Wear That: Coach at LensCrafters

By Kirsten|July 19th, 2012|Personal Style, Why Did You Wear That?|

You know one thing that I love to do is read. As a little girl the library and the book store were two of my favorite places to get lost in. Yes, I was that kid who was excited for library class. Dewey decimal system, what? Well, as I got older, I found that I had an astigmatism and was going to need to wear glasses. I tried wearing contacts, but the thought of touching my eyeballs freaked me out, so fantastic frames it was!

Over the past couple of years, the stigma of eyeglasses has gone right out the window. As a matter of fact, glasses have become downright trendy. Non vision impaired ladies have started sporting eyewear and even celebrities have been seen walking the red carpet in their glasses. Perhaps it’s due to designers creating styles that are not only comfortable, but totally chic. Enter Coach at LensCrafters. Talk about a perfect pairing! Now you can get the best in eye care along with the best in fashion. I love the look of the Cecilia frames in tortoise. The slight cat eye shape gives just the right amount of retro feel for my reading and the pop of green inside makes them anything but boring.

skirt: H&M, shirt: The Limited (circa 8th grade), boots: Minnetonka, glasses: Coach the Cecilia gifted by LensCrafters, bag: Coach (my first Coach bag ever!), nail polish: Essie Peach Daiquri

Who says men seldom make passes at girls who wear glasses?
