Why Did You Wear That: For the Birds

By Kirsten|March 6th, 2012|Personal Style, Why Did You Wear That?|

Everyday around the same time, a flock of birds shows up at this little bird bath. I’m not talking like one or two. I am talking about ten to twenty at a time. It’s like birds gone wild at spring beak (too many fowl puns?). Something about this little bird bath seemed very French to me. I’m not sure why. Do they even have birds (les oiseaux) in France? Doesn’t matter. It seemed like a perfect place to put on one of my favorite knit dresses with wedge booties and beret and channel my inner French girl. While it’s been abnormally warm, the air does start to chill when the sun goes down. That’s why it’s imperative to always have a jacket and scarf on hand. Cherry nails and lips are the perfect accents for an all black and white ensemble.

Setting the Mood: Pet Project

By Kirsten|January 23rd, 2012|Setting the Mood|

When people ask me what I’m passionate about, there are two things that always come up: fashion and animals. I can understand why some might furrow their brows in confusion upon hearing that. They don’t seem like two things that normally go together. My parents thought I might become a veterinarian seeing as I was always begging for a new pet, be it a guinea pig or a pot belly pig. I’m also the same kid who rescued and bottle fed baby squirrels and wild rabbits. And I think I’ve been quite clear about Smitty. Then again, my first temper tantrum was over a pair or red patent leather shoes…

I have always wished for a way to combine two of my great loves. Just short of starting a dog t-shirt line, I haven’t been able to come up with much. However, it seems I’m not alone in my love for all things furry. These photos show just how much a pooch can add to your Prada or a kitty can jazz up your Calvins. Turns out your furry friend may very well be your best accessory.
