Friday Frocks: Swan Song

By Kirsten|December 3rd, 2010|Friday Frocks|

This may be one of my favorite Friday Frocks to date. I have a personal obsession with all things ballet related seeing as I was two pom-poms away from trading in college career for a blistered toed career of ballet (there’s a reason I love Center Stage). Needless to say, I can’t wait to see this movie (I’m aware it’s no Nutcracker). So if you are looking to channel your inner inner prima ballerina, try on these frilly frocks. I don’t recommend losing the 20+ pounds that Mila and Natalie lost for the film, but slipping into something dainty will certainly have you feeling like doing pirouettes in your Loubous.

Why Did You Wear That: Slave 4 Fashion

By Kirsten|December 3rd, 2010|Celebrity Style|

I mean I hate to kick a horse while she’s down… especially right after her birthday… but a crime against fashion is a crime against fashion. It’s no secret that I’ve never been a huge Brit Brit fan, but I was rooting for her comeback as much as the next girl. I, along with Elin Woods, understand the rage she felt when slamming into that car with an umbrella.

So, it pains me to see that her comeback was only a fleeting moment in time and she has resorted back to looking like this:

Oh, Brit. Where shall I begin? It seems like an oxymoron to have a shirt buttoned up to your chin while wearing shorts that the pockets are hanging out of. And… are those… BEDAZZLED UGGS? Ugh, is right. What do you get the girl who has everything this year for Christmas? Hopefully, a stylist.

don’t let me be the last to know…

The List Volume XXX

By Kirsten|December 3rd, 2010|The List|

Everyone’s favorite time of the week. The List. This week, I’m going to stick with the original format. Obnoxious on the rocks. You’re welcome.

Kim Kardashian’s dating life. We get it. She’s slept with EVERYONE.
Matt Lauer calling this little guy ugly. He probably punches kittens.
People who complain about their weight and then chomp down on BK and Mickey D’s for lunch daily. Ever thought of a salad?
People who do not remove the tags from their outerwear. I think it’s safe to assume they probably also did not unstitch their pockets either.
The Subway commercials that use the little kid voices. Creeeep-y!
Kathie Lee. Why’s she so mean to Hoda?
People who take the elevator to get to the second floor. They’re called stairs. Try them. (*Note: unless you are physically unable then this is void).
Crying children. Shut. Up.
Waiting longer than two minutes to be served in an empty bar. No, seriously, it’s fine. I’ll wait.
Justin Bieber’s new ‘do.

Have a wonderful weekend!

WhyDid Wisdom: Cut It Out

By Kirsten|December 3rd, 2010|WhyDid Wisdom|

Today while Skyping with one of my besties in New York, we giggled about how at times, I go ahead and take the next exit to CrazyTown. That sometimes, I can be completely melodramatic. And quite honestly, I’m an emotional cutter.

This actually isn’t funny and I’m not like Demi Lovato cutting. I do not inflict physical harm on myself, but I do tend to enjoy inflicting emotional pain on myself. For some reason I like to see things that are going to hurt my feelings. I can’t explain it, but I find myself doing things that I know ahead of time are going to hurt me. I’ve mentioned before that I have crazy P.I. skills and at times those can be really helpful, but at other times they can be totally detrimental to my mental well being.

Why on earth do I need to see that Twitpic? Why would I want to read something mean someone said about me? Why do I want to read blogs that totally rip me off? All very good questions. It’s almost like I enjoy feeling the pain. And don’t you worry. I’m not selfish with my pain. I like to share it with those around me.

It’s like when you have a cut in your mouth and you keep sticking your tongue in it. Perhaps I’m a masochist. Maybe I’m self destructive. One thing’s for certain, I’m fully aware of my problem. That is again, a blessing and a curse. I’m happy to be well aware of my self abusive behavior, however, being aware of such makes me become responsible for myself. So, the other day, I started taking steps forward in “cutting” this self cutting habit from my life. I started deleting toxic people from my life.

If you find yourself participating in this same behavior, ask yourself, “why?” Is it that hard to just be happy?

Beauty Buzz: So Fresh and So Clean

By Kirsten|December 2nd, 2010|Beauty Buzz|

Everyone wants clean, clear, smooth skin. I mean, I don’t know anyone who doesn’t. Except maybe my dog. However, we don’t always have the time or the resources to get to the spa for a facial every single month. However, this is no excuse to abandon your skincare regimen. I made a How To video about how to make a great at home facial, but if you’re in need of of quick fix, I’ve also got you covered.

Murad Pomegranate Exfoliating Mask, $22.50

I read that this is what a lot of makeup artists use on clients before applying makeup because it really smooths and evens out the skin. I didn’t have particularly high expectations for this mask cause they all tend to just be lies. Lies, I tell you. When I smoothed it on, it was very, very cold and tingly. I left it on for the allotted fifteen minutes and then rinsed my face with a washcloth (it was nearly impossible to try and get it off with my bare hands). After patting my face dry with a towel, I was amazed at how “glowy” my face looked. It really did look clearer, smoother, and brighter. Even my fiance commented on how pretty my skin looked. *Note: after using the mask, it is much easier to extract blemishes (or perform face surgery as my fiance calls it). I definitely, definitely recommend this if your skin needs a little pick me up!

silky, silky now.
