Setting the Mood: Don’t Sweater The Technique

By Kirsten|October 21st, 2013|Setting the Mood|

It’s easy to get melancholy over the falling leaves and temperatures when autumn rolls around. It’s stayed strangely warm this year, but it’s merely a matter of time before you are going to be swaddled in cashmere and merino. I may be biased having spent a portion of my professional life in knitwear, but there is not much I love more than a giant cozy sweater. With destroyed denim, sleek leather, or simple legwear, knitwear is nothing less than versatile. Embrace the chill and find yourself a cozy sweater to snuggle up in.

Why Did You Wear That: Morning Glory

By Kirsten|November 15th, 2011|Personal Style, Why Did You Wear That?|

Ever have one of those days where you just don’t want to get out of bed? You’d rather just stay in your jammies and spend the day watching garbage daytime TV and taking all your meals in bed? Oh, that’s everyday? Yeah, me too. Sadly, mama’s gotta pay the bills… which, of course, would require one to actually pry herself from those 1200 thread count sheets and take part in normal human behavior and social activities. Oh well… doesn’t mean you can’t be comfortable. As a matter of fact, I’d like to encourage you to wear your nightgown from your bedroom right on downtown.

Slip a soft sweater over your silky nightie. Accessorize with chunky gold accessories, a pop of bright eye makeup (so you don’t still look like you’re sleeping), and work appropriate oxfords. While it may not be the day you dreamt of, at least you will look dreamy.
