Why Did You Wear That: This Week’s Top 10 Celebrity Looks

By Kirsten|October 30th, 2010|Celebrity Style|

Demi Moore in this Balmain dress… I mean, I can’t. She looks insane! Ashton doesn’t look too bad either.
Leighton Meester, always picture perfect in Elie Saab.
Claire Danes proves that simple black is always chic with this Lanvin gown.
Sienna Miller is absolutely stunning in Stella McCartney. Take note, Riri. This is the way nude is done.
Selita Ebanks steps out and shines in this little number. Not sure who she’s wearing, but it’s a hell of a lot better than that bird get up in Kanye’s Runaway “movie.”
Never thought I’d see the day. Here is Rachel Zoe at Lanvin’s Halloween Party looking the way she always should. Glam.
Freida Pinto wearing Chritian Dior in a shade of green that was meant for her.
Speaking of green, the sexiest woman alive, Minka Kelly, sports a mini that just makes us green with envy.
Demi has been working it out this week. Here she is in an outfit that looks like it came straight from WhyDid’s closet. Can you believe this woman is 47?!
And last, but most certainly not least we have the absolutely adorable Violet Affleck looking precisely how a little girl should look. Sugar, spice, and everything nice.

Have a wonderful weekend.

Friday Frocks: Gold Diggers

By Kirsten|September 17th, 2010|Friday Frocks|

I ain’t saying she’s a gold digger… Well, you know the rest. Something that caught my eye for Fall 2010 was the heavy use of gold and gold embellishment. One of my favorite shows of the season was Balmain. It was very gold heavy… I felt like I’d hit the jackpot. Speaking of jackpots, gold doesn’t necessarily have to be tacky (talking to you Atlantic City), it can be totally chic when done right. Here’s a glimpse at Balmain’s take on gold frocks and some ways to wear it yourself:

Why Did You Wear That: Cougar Town

By Kirsten|September 15th, 2010|Why Did You Wear That?|

After spending the morning discussing menopausal women, I figured it was only right to discuss another one of fall’s trends. Oh that’s right, I’m talking about animal print. Whichever feline you happen to prefer (cougar, leopard, cheetah), it just isn’t going anywhere, folks. Another season, another runway packed full of the spotted puss. Animal print is here to stay. So whether you decide to deck yourself or just add a bit of fur, you’re sure to look fierce in the print of the season.

Why Did You Wear That: Put Some Spring in Your Step

By Kirsten|March 23rd, 2010|Why Did You Wear That?|

Finally the clouds have parted and Mother Nature is giving us a big sunshine filled kiss called spring. So what’s a girl to wear? We wondered the same thing as we attempted to get dressed for brunch this past weekend. We’ve stashed our winter coats and snow boots, but what shall we replace them with? Breaking down some of the big trends on the Spring 2010 runways:

Forward March– Looks like the military jacket will stick around another season. Swap one into your spring rotation for your updated warm weather outerwear.

068m Marc Jacobs

juicy2193112727_p1_v1_m56577569831899009_254x500 Juicy Couture Military Shirt Jacket, $198

Mixed Bag– A fun trend on this season is the bold mixing and matching of prints. Done head to toe in one pattern or mixing complimentary patterns will give you a head turning look.

097m Balenciaga

109m Marni

117m Versace

0414034936011R__A1_300x400 Nanette Lepore Primrose Ankle Length Pants, $268

Everything’s Coming Up Roses– Floral patterns were running rampant on the runways. Whether Laura Ashley’esque or Painterly prints, it’s time to water your girly seed and sport some florals for spring.

087m Ralph Lauren

00210m Collette Dinnigan

Tit for Tat– Finally, something I’ve been doing for years is being validated on the runway. Sheer and sexy, models showed their underpinnings as much as their outerwear.

In the Nude– Neutrals were big on the runway. One in particular was nude. Get naked.

00210m Valentino

Peekaboo!– Another one of my favorite trends from the runways was the amount of cut out dresses being shown. They are very, very sexy in an unconventional way.

Ruffle Your Feathers– A fun and flirty alternative to fur? Feathers. Just don’t go overkill and end up looking like Big Bird. One feathered piece at a time.

A Shine of the Times– Recession? What recession? Shine and shimmer were all over the runways giving the luxe look. Shine isn’t just for evening. Dress up your everyday look with something shiny.
