Setting the Mood: Hut, Set, Who Cares…

By Kirsten|January 28th, 2013|Setting the Mood|

Whether you like it or not, the Super Bowl cometh. I’m on team “Or not.” Doesn’t matter which team you’re rooting for… hold on… had to ask who’s playing… be it San Francisco or Baltimore, you will have to come to terms with the fact that 90+% of the American male population will be glued to the TV come Sunday and you can either book that weekend away with the girls, or get on board with the boys. I’m on hold with the Four Seasons as we speak, but should you find yourself stuck at a pigskin party, you may as well get in the spirit of the game. That would require one to dress the part. Don’t bother wasting your time with heels, but please, heaven almighty, don’t be that girl wearing a football jersey. Another option that gives the illusion you care? Wear a cute and cozy top in your team’s color(s). Should you despise both teams, just wear black or a color that has absolutely nothing to do with the game… like pink. Distressed denim, designer sneaks, and a whistle accessory just for fun will complete your game day getup.

Smart Is the New Pretty: Love in the Air

By Kirsten|October 24th, 2012|Smart Is the New Pretty|

I mean, just because I’ve basically become asexual doesn’t mean the rest of the world has. It’s cuffing season, after all. So while I’m happiest sitting home rubbing Smitty’s belly with one hand and holding a glass of pinot in the other, it would appear the rest of the world is falling truly, madly, deeply.

The moment we’ve all (okay, I’ve) been waiting for… Jess Biel’s wedding dress revealed (and it’s pink?). [NY Mag]
Eva Longoria dumped Mark Sanchez… and fortunately for him, I happen to be free on Friday. [Page Six]
Which means I will definitely need something snazzy to wear… thank heavens for Maison Martin Margiela collection for H&M (see entire collection here). [Fashionista]
And just in case everything sells out before I can peel myself from bed, here are a few other date outfit options. [Refinery29]
If he doesn’t watch it, I may just plant a big fat kiss on him like this little Romeo. [Gawker]
We could dance the night away in New York’s soon to be biggest dance party, Space. [Eater]
Perhaps you’re more of the stay at home type, Mark. That’s cool. I’ll just whip up this pumpkin lasagna. NBD. [Food Network]
I may need to go ahead and stock up on Agent Provocatuer’s new diffusion line, L’Agent. [Refinery29]
And should things not pan out… Let’s throw in a little Ryan Gosling… just for good measure. [NY Mag]

Setting the Mood: Black or White

By Kirsten|August 25th, 2011|Setting the Mood|

I always say that most things in life are incredibly black and white. I don’t really like dancing around in the grey area. In my experience, that leads to nothing but trouble. There’s something so magical about black and white photos. The playing of shadows against the subject. The contrast. Sucking out the colors to nothing but black and white can take your average photo from amateur to amazing. The same can be said about your clothing as well. While some might associate black and white with waiter wear, I think wearing something so simple conveys confidence and understated glamour.

Just a perfect examples of how opposites complement each other.

Friday Frocks: Under Where?

By Kirsten|February 11th, 2011|Friday Frocks|

You thought I was going to do a Friday Frocks with all kinds of red and pink dresses, didn’t you? C’mon, give me a little credit! Being someone who loves lingerie as much as I do, I jumped at the chance to leverage the upcoming Valentine’s holiday to highlight some sexy chemises sure to impress anyone lucky enough to lay eyes upon them.

Valentine’s Day doesn’t have to be all about raunchy red lingerie (I’m talking to you, Frederick’s). A sexy chemise is much more subtle, yet just as effective in catching a special someone’s attention. Rolling solo? I don’t see why you shouldn’t wear one while doing the dishes or giving yourself an at home mani. Smitty always appreciates when I do!

Top (L to R): Betsey Johnson Thorny Chiffon Babydoll, $75, La Perla Passion de Fleur Chemise, $350, Stella McCartney Clara Whispering Silk Satin Chemise, $300, La Perla Greta Chemise, $345

Why Don’t You Love Me?

By Kirsten|February 9th, 2011|Gift Guide, Somethin for the fellas|

While some hypothesize that Valentine’s Day is just a fabricated holiday brought to you straight from the fine folks at Hallmark, I will never argue with a holiday that is all about love, chocolate, flowers, and lingerie. With a mere five days to go until the big day, I have compiled a list of gifts that you will probably want to forward to your significant other ASAP! Whether you’ve just started dating or you’re in for the long haul, these Valentine’s gifts are sure to make even Cupid smile. I’ve rated them G (you’re still at the sweet beginning or maybe you are buying these for your mom or sister) to R (you’re ready to cut loose and swing from the chandeliers!). In any case, there’s something for everyone.
