Why Did You Wear That: Better Than Leggings

By Kirsten|November 2nd, 2010|Personal Style, Why Did You Wear That?|

So it occurred to me this past weekend while I dressed for brunch that I wanted to wear something comfortable without looking like I was wearing my pajamas and without wearing… gasp… a Juicy tracksuit. Most would automatically jump right to leggings. A lot of the time I would too, but it seems that some of you out there can not be trusted.

You guys KNOW how I feel about leggings. Namely, leggings worn as pants. I’ve gone over this time and time again, but alas, it seems that the message just does not compute. So, I have come up with a crop of pants that are not only comfy, but also attractive (minus the cameltoe):

Stella McCartney Cashmere Silk Blend Jumpsuit, $1425

Robert Rodriquez Roll Waist Pants, $264

Clu Ruffled Waist Pants, $225

Knit Wit Harem Pants, $220

T by Alexander Wang Jersey Cropped Sweat Pants, $120

C & C California Twisted Drawstring Pants, $78

Forever 21 French Terry Athletic Pants, $17.80

Hey… they’re better than leggings.

Why Did You Wear That: Why You Sweatin’ Me?

So, I’ve been spending a lot of time at the gym lately (you try watching yourself getting spray tanned in a bikini and tell me how you feel) and I have made quite a few startling observations. One being that most people look really funny running on the treadmill. Another being that people wear incredibly bizarre things to work out.

The other day, I spotted some serious cougars wearing cleavage baring tank tops and walking on the treadmills. I mean, this is not a bar or a pick up joint, ladies. I’m here to get my cardio on. That would require me strapping my two best girls down as to not look like a Baywatch re-run. Sports bras, not your push up bra, should always be worn. They help fight gravity and they will wick away the moisture (ladies don’t sweat, we glisten) rather than soak it up like the padding in your bra.

The gym is also where the thin line between appropriate and inappropriate legging wear is dangerously thin. I, myself, have been known to wear leggings to the gym (I KNOW!!). So what makes it okay and not okay? Well, they should basically ALWAYS be black. White is an absolute NO. You can see every dimple of cellulite. Heather grey will show every speck of sweat… er, glisten. So just stick with the tried and true. Now let’s address that cameltoe. It’s basically inevitable, but luckily, my girls at Bye Bye Lines have created all types of things (panties, liners, and pants) to fight that frontal wedgie. Crisis averted.

I’m also baffled by the girls who come with a full face of make up to the gym. Go ahead and add this to my list of pet peeves. I mean, I get that some people are coming from work and may have a little bit on, but full on photoshoot style makeup? I hope they realize that this is TERRIBLE for your skin! All that sweat and makeup is adult acne waiting to happen! Let your skin breathe! If you are coming from work or somewhere that required makeup, tuck some face wipes in your gym bag and get the gunk off pre workout.

I like to do double duty while at the gym. Meaning I will slather on some deep conditioner in my hair and braid it. That way, when I shower after the gym, I will not only have toned glutes, but also luscious locks. Smarter than I look, people.

Here are some examples of cute gym gear. Just cause you’re working out doesn’t mean you can’t work it:

V294758 VSX Body Wick seamleass sports bra, $22

41iiiRRgOBL._AA260_ C9 by Champion racerback tank, $14.99

Bye Bye Lines (The ladies who brought you Kamelflage and Cammel Ammo) Leggings, $38

310671

Reebok Easytone Trend, $109.99

LW4652S_heathered_athletica_gr_l lululemon Sway jacket, $128

So hit the gym and get that heart rate up. Summer and short shorts are just around the corner. And fellas, cut a girl a break. PLEASE, don’t try and talk to us while we are mid stride. We’re actually trying to get in shape. You can chat us up over a smoothie later.

Why Did You Wear That: Camel Ammo

By Kirsten|May 8th, 2009|Why Did You Wear That?|

So you guys were pretty obsessed with Bump-Its, but apparently, you were really obsessed with Kamelflage.

Well, good news. I’m going to blog about it again. The ladies of Kamelflage have re-branded and are now going by the name of “CamelAmmo.” Yes, I’m for serious. No, I don’t know how they keep coming up with these names. I would like to think that it was after a few too many glasses of rose, but I think we’ll have to ask them about it.

CamelAmmo is patent pending and is intended for fighting the “frontal wedgie.” These little panty partners are to be inserted in the front lining of your undies, like so:

Now, the ladies of CamelAmmo insist that now you can “size down” but I still stand firm that if you are getting wrinkles in the crotch or any other area, you’re in the wrong size. I had a wonderful sewing teacher in college (yes, I was required to complete an entire course on learning to sew) who always said, “Wrinkles point to the problem area.” Words to live by, ladies.

I personally, have not tried these little guys out, so I’m not sure how effective they are, but I think in the case of leggings, which by the way, still are not pants, they could be pretty helpful. Hey, Miss Marshall, these might be a good investment for you.

You can now visit their website (www.camelammo.com) and purchase your very own CamelAmmo.

Real People, Real Style: Excuse Me, Sheriff, There’s a New Marshall in Town.

By Kirsten|April 27th, 2009|Real People Real Style|

This sexy on screen siren is so en fuego, I had to choose two photos of her. Originally an East Coaster, she has now transplanted herself to the West Coast.

Wearing:dashiki- Emanuel Ungaro (courtesy of one of her bff’s), wooden bangle- vintage (see, mixing designer with vintage is so chic).

Name: Krystal Marshall

Occupation: Actor

Hometown: Atlanta, Georgia

If you were going to be stranded on a desert island and your bag was only big enough for 3 items, what would they be:

A machete, which I would use to cut down trees to make a shelter, and then cut apart the bag (that the machete came in) to make a fierce leather swimsuit.
A value size container of Aleve… because cramps will follow you anywhere- even a deserted island.
A Venus razor. I’d take apart the four razor blades and attach one to the end of a stick so I could spear fish, one to a smaller stick so I could chop fruit, one I’d use for beauty (i.e., shaving my legs/bikini area, arching my brows, and cutting split ends), and the last one is for emergencies. Like, in case I have to kill myself.

Favorite beauty product: Origins “Never a Dull Moment” exfoliating scrub, Rembrandt whitening trays

Style icon: MK Olsen

This summer, I can’t wait to wear: Rompers, jumpsuits, halters, and linen

Style tip for all the fashion degenerates: “Less is more.” Oh, and if you think you look fat in something, chances are you probably do.

Best splurge (it was worth every penny): Marc Jacobs double breasted military coat

Trend you’d like to see die: Peep toe booties

Currently coveting:Erin Wasson’s wardrobe, body, and life.

Fun Fact:I plan to single handedly bring back full bottom underwear. I’m sick and tired of bikini briefs being shoved to the back of the drawer and only worn you-know-when. Enough!

Biggest personal fashion flop:At times, my cameltoe can be offensive.

Well, Miss Marshall, with those looks and all that spunk, I get the feeling we will be seeing a lot more of your face. (And we’re pretty happy about that).

Why Did You Wear That: Cameltoe Camouflage

By Kirsten|March 31st, 2009|Why Did You Wear That?|

I love starting my week off with brilliant discoveries. Yesterday, I was lucky enough to meet a couple of lovely young women who have come up with a very interesting new product. Their product is called Kamelflage (use your imagination).

After witnessing one too many “frontal wedgies,” Treger Strasberg and Loren Weiner sprung into action. They created an insert for your underpants that slips into the inside lining that will prevent your panties from getting in a bunch.

I can’t decide whether this is genius or gross?

Frontal wedgies are caused by ill fitting pants. Size up, ladies. (Yet another reason why leggings should not be worn as pants).
Okay, now you don’t have cameltoe, but instead you have a bulge in your pants.
Are that many people suffering from frontal wedgies? This might be a whole other concern.

Either way, you can check Kamelflage out yourself: http://www.kamelflage.com/
