Friday Frocks: Back in Black

By Kirsten|October 1st, 2010|Friday Frocks|

acdc6 Everyone knows you can’t go wrong with an LBD (Little Black Dress… duh), but even I know that sometimes black can get a little boring. Crisis averted, people. By adding a little drama to your LBD you may add some extra drama (the good kind) to you life.

The List XXI

By Kirsten|October 1st, 2010|The List|

Gosh… it feels like just yesterday…

Leg tattoos. That’s what patterned tights are for.
The “misters” at Ikea. I get it, it’s hot, but spitting condensation on me while I wait for my car to pull up is only ticking me off more because you’re making my hair frizz.
Ikea.
Football updates and shoutouts on Facebook.
People who have absolutely no idea what they’re doing and think that no one notices.
Painful pimples. You know what I’m talking about.
People who continue to jog at stoplights. I mean, really?
Squatters.
My loud, loud, neighbors. Go. To. Bed.
Bullying. What gives anyone the right?

Beauty Buzz: A Hair Raising Experience

By Kirsten|September 30th, 2010|Beauty Buzz|

I’ve gotten a little poll crazy today (and no, not POLE crazy like the girls of Scores). It seems the ladies of tinseltown have gone a little lock crazy changing their hair color, chopping off length, and well, just looking a little crazy. Behold…

UGH. Katherine Heigl. What the eff? What happened? Something bad? Normally she has such luscious locks but, this looks more like Cabbage Patch Hair! In this photo, she looks unrecognizable to me.

After recently celebrating a birthday, newlywed Hilary Duff is photographed here leaving the hair salon and sporting a new hue. Personally? I love it. I think it’s a really flattering color on her. Lookin’ good, Duff.

Here’s Harry Potter’s Emma Watson making her way to class at Brown sporting some noticeably shorter hair. Um… K. Stew, I don’t think you have anything to worry about. Her hair is even shorter than R. Patz’s.

I don’t always need to bitch. I was pleasantly surprised to see these two beauties hanging out at the 40th Anniv party for Roberto Cavalli. I mean, could they be any cuter? Probs not.

Why Did You Wear That: Fair Well, My Friend.

By Kirsten|September 29th, 2010|Why Did You Wear That?|

So, here’s your mini history lesson for the day, fair isle is a knitting technique used to create patterns using different colors. The technique is named after a small island off the coast of Scotland and became popular after the Prince of Wales sported the knitted vests all the way back in 1921. See? So much smarter and you’re only two sentences in!

I remember sitting in a design meeting two years ago discussing fairisle… so I’m happy to see that it eventually caught on to the masses. While this style probably used to remind you of your grandmother, it is so far from frumpy.
