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: Love You Like a Love Song

By Kirsten|February 11th, 2012|Weekend Playlist|

If you aren’t a part of the “I Hate Love” Club, it’s quite possible that you love a good love song. Cheesy, yes, but these saccharin sweet ditties will have you bouncing in your seat in no time.

Much love.

Why Did You Wear That: What a SAG

By Kirsten|January 30th, 2012|Monday Mashup, Red Carpet Recap, Why Did You Wear That?|

To be honest… I was almost so uninspired that I didn’t even bother with a Red Carpet Recap for this year’s SAG Awards. While the dresses are a bit better than when they started this award season with the People’s Choice Awards, I’m still waiting to be wowed. Having just finished up the Paris couture shows, one would think there would have been a little bit more drama on the red carpet… On a positive note, there was nothing this time that truly offended me either… that much. As we all know, there are only so many designers to go around, so I will now present you with the good, the bad and the debatable (where you’ll be the judge of who wore which designer best).

The Good:

Rose Byrne in Elie Saab, Kyra Sedgewick in Emilio Pucci, Emily Blunt in Oscar de la Renta, Regina King in Alberta Ferretti

The Bad:

Kaley Cuoco in Romona Keveza, Gretchen Mol in L’wren Scott, Kristen Wiig in Balenciaga, Zoe Saldana in Givenchy

The Debatable:

Angelina Jolie and Ashlee Simpson in Jenny Packham

Viola Davis and Sofia Vergara in Marchesa

Julie Bowen and Sarah Hyland in Temperley

Jessica Chastain and Julianna Margulies in Calvin Klein

Alright ladies, it’s time to really step it up. I can’t sit through another boring awards ceremony if you’re not willing to wear something wow-worthy. I will pretend it didn’t even happen next time. Just remember what Rooney’s dad said… the Oscar’s are your Superbowl.

Hut, set, hike.

The List Volume XXIII

By Kirsten|October 15th, 2010|The List|

I mean, there aren’t enough hours in the day for the annoyances that have shown up on my doorstep this week…

Los Angeles.
This onslaught of hot young actresses in “mom” jeans.
The Real Housewives of DC. I hope there is not a second season.
Ashlee Simpson’s new ‘do. Though her baby’s awfully cute.
WordPress… no, I didn’t need that last draft. No, seriously… it’s fine.
Cat vomit. Thanks, Fluff.
People who blatantly copy WhyDid and people who steal my gays. I mean I can’t.
Zoe Saldana’s Calvin Klein commercial. It makes me really uncomfortable.
People who can not just be happy for others. I do not need your lecture. Just smack me five and let’s move on.
Jessica Simpson… just for good measure.
