Friday Frocks: Last Dance, Last Chance

By |June 7th, 2013|Friday Frocks|

Who doesn’t love the arrival of a bachelorette party?  Half drunk, half dressed, fully armed with embarrassing phallic props.  But let’s suppose for just a moment that you’re like me and the sheer thought of a blowup penis and clip on veil makes you want to call the whole thing off.  It is your duty as a woman on death row to look like a complete and utter hussy on your last night of singledom.  Pretty soon you’ll have to shun the stares of strangers and you’re gonna miss the way that feels, unless, of course, you enjoy watching your husband participate in bar brawls… I actually love the idea of the bride wearing an all white frock, but if you’d like to be less conspicuous or if you’re simply along for the ride, here are a few frock options that are guaranteed to get heads turning– penis whistle or not.

Why Did You Wear That: Oh Hey, Crochet!!

By |April 17th, 2012|Why Did You Wear That?|

crochet poncho tunicWhile crochet is often associated with granola loving tree huggers or the back of your granny’s couch in doily form, it appears to be making quite the comeback and doing so quite stylishly.  So, you can go ahead and put down the Kashi and prunes.  Sure, sure, you could take it up as a new hobby.  There are enough books out there to teach yourself how to craft up your very own crochet creation… but who really has time for that?  Besides, there are plenty or pretty options already available and you won’t have to risk chipping a nail.  Crochet makes for great accessories or a sexy (knotty?) beach coverup.  The open weave gives you just enough skin showing and I mean, talk about ventilation.

Friday Frocks: Something’s Off… White

By |March 30th, 2012|Friday Frocks, Why Did You Wear That?|

girl on a bikeRemember the silly little antiquated rule about not wearing white before Memorial Day?  Well, I’m fairly certain once that pesky groundhog gives the go ahead, it’s fair game.  Still not sure if it’s too soon?  Okay, fine.  So you haven’t headed out to the Hamptons yet and the rose has yet to be put on ice and your skin may or may not still resemble a reel of paper.  Got it.  Until then, why not muster up the courage in a shade slightly less stark than pure white?  Slipping into something cream, eggshell, bone, whatever you want to call it, is a great way to transition into summer without looking totally overzealous.  Plus, to be quite honest, it’s much more flattering on 90% of all skin tones.
