Setting the Mood: Daddy Issues

By |June 9th, 2014|Setting the Mood|

father daughter duosOne of the most important relationships a woman will ever have is the one she has with her father.  Now, I realize that I have been especially blessed because not only do I have a father to speak of, but I have a father who is one of the kindest, smartest, most loving people on this planet.  Really the only daddy issues I have are knowing what it feels like to be loved and respected by a man.  Because I know that I am at an advantage having someone like Dick Smith a mere telephone call away at any time, I loan him out to a lot of my friends, which he is more than happy to do.  Basically, if my dad isn’t following you on Instagram, you’re doing something wrong.  So, here’s to all the dads of the world- whether he’s your dad, you baby’s daddy, or father to your four legged friend.

Why Did You Wear That: A Good In-Vest-ment

By |June 4th, 2013|Why Did You Wear That?|

Let’s play a little game of word association, shall we?  When I say, “denim vest” what’s the first thing that pops into your pretty little head?  I bet it was a mullet… namely in the form of Billy Ray Cyrus (you know, Miley’s dad).  But forget hoe downs and achey breaky hearts, cause the denim vest is one of this summer’s hot ticket items.  Just like all good things and some ex-boyfriends, denim vests have made a comebeack and here are three cool (and slightly unexpected) ways to wear one.

 Dressed Down Date Night:

1. MINKPINK Wonderland Mini Dress, 2. Mossimo Supply Co. Cropped Denim Vest, 3. Forever 21 Neon Lucite Trimmed Clutch, 4. Calvin Klein Vivian High Heel Sandals

Beach Baby:

Gal About Town:

Don’t break my heart, buy a vest.

Why Did You Wear That: We’re Doing Denim

By |July 11th, 2012|Celebrity Style, Why Did You Wear That?|

I realize that the mere mention of “denim shirt” may conjure up images of mullets, Canadian tuxedos, and probably a can of Miller Lite, but in the past few weeks, celebrities and style stars alike have proven that there are several very stylish ways to wear a denim shirt.  While Billy Ray is probably not your style icon, he’s notorious for sporting the style.  Take a deep breath and instead channel your inner Kate Bosworth, who showed us how to do denim on denim like a pro.  Not sure denim on denim is for you?  There’s a plethora of other stylish ways to pair your denim top.  Try one of these or mix and match:

Yeehaw, lil ladies.

Weekend Playlist: Hit Me Baby One More Time

By |October 1st, 2011|Weekend Playlist|

This week, let’s take a little walk down memory lane, shall we?  Remember all the songs that we loved so much, but then forgot they ever existed (kind of like butterfly clips and pleather)?  Great as they were, sadly, they were only one hit wonders.  As I scrolled through these songs, It occurred to me that I still love a lot of these songs.  It also occurred to me that some of you young little sprites have probably never even heard of them.  Man, I’m getting old.

  1. Right Said Fred – I’m Too Sexy
  2. Willa Ford – I Wanna Be Bad
  3. Chumbawumba – Tubthumper
  4. Hanson – MMMBop
  5. Dee Lite – Groove Is in the Heart
  6. Vanilla Ice – Ice Ice Baby
  7. Los Del Rio – Macarena
  8. Sir Mix-a-lot – Baby Got Back
  9. Billy Ray Cyrus – Achy Breaky Heart
  10. Wreckx-n Effect – Rump Shaker
  11. 4 Non Blondes – What’s Up
  12. Tag Team – Whoomp There It Is
  13. Skee -Lo – I Wish
  14. The Cardigans – Lovefool
  15. K.P. & Envyi – Swing My Way
  16. SoulDecision – Faded
  17. t.A.T.u. – All the Things She Said
  18. Lumidee – Never Leave You
  19. Eamon – Fuck It
  20. Snow – Informer
Now, if you’ll excuse me, I’m going to go have a private dance party.

Why Did You Wear That: Denim on Denim Crime

By |February 23rd, 2011|Why Did or Why Don't?|

Another trend that was once a fashion faux pas is double denim.  While you are probably rolling your eyes and ready to click that cute little “x,” hear me out.  Kate Bosworth can clearly do no wrong and here she is as a shining example of how denim on denim can look totally chic.  Britney and JT, on the other hand, are exemplifying that it is possible to have too much of a good thing.

The trick when wearing “denim times two” is to make certain that the pieces are distinctly different shades.  Also, the silhouettes should also be contrasting proportions.  Don’t wear boyfriend jeans with a blousey shirt or vice versa (jeggings and a denim tube top). If you’re going to attempt this somewhat controversial trend, try a dark skinny pant with a loose chambray button down just like Kate.

don’t break my  heart…
