Why Did You Wear That: Peaches n’ Cream

By Kirsten|January 18th, 2011|Personal Style, Why Did You Wear That?|

I was so excited to see some of my favorite shades on the red carpet this past weekend. I especially loved the color of the Calvin Klein that Emma Stone wore (despite the fact that I was a bit turned off that her hair and skin matched -monochromatic much?). Anyway, any good reason to post pictures of amazingly lovely shades of nudes and peach and I’m in. I really do adore the mix of peach (or sherbert) and nude together especially in a simple sophisticated silhouette. The trick? Do not physically MATCH the color of your dress!

Friday Frocks: Let Them Wear Drapes!

Ugh. It’s Friday and you have Nothing. To. Wear.

Well, don’t get all dramatic like Scarlett O’Hara and start ripping down the drapes (Gone with the Wind, ladies. If you have not read the book, run don’t walk to get a copy). While Ms. O’Hara may have gone a tad overboard, she was onto something. Draping. A trend that has stuck around for a few seasons now is a great way to look sexy and sleek while still hiding any “problem areas” (ha! as if we have any). In my mind, it’s a more modest version of the bodycon dress. It shows all your curves without requiring the use of Commandos and starvation.

Why Did You Wear That: Put Some Spring in Your Step

By Kirsten|March 23rd, 2010|Why Did You Wear That?|

Finally the clouds have parted and Mother Nature is giving us a big sunshine filled kiss called spring. So what’s a girl to wear? We wondered the same thing as we attempted to get dressed for brunch this past weekend. We’ve stashed our winter coats and snow boots, but what shall we replace them with? Breaking down some of the big trends on the Spring 2010 runways:

Forward March– Looks like the military jacket will stick around another season. Swap one into your spring rotation for your updated warm weather outerwear.

068m Marc Jacobs

juicy2193112727_p1_v1_m56577569831899009_254x500 Juicy Couture Military Shirt Jacket, $198

Mixed Bag– A fun trend on this season is the bold mixing and matching of prints. Done head to toe in one pattern or mixing complimentary patterns will give you a head turning look.

097m Balenciaga

109m Marni

117m Versace

0414034936011R__A1_300x400 Nanette Lepore Primrose Ankle Length Pants, $268

Everything’s Coming Up Roses– Floral patterns were running rampant on the runways. Whether Laura Ashley’esque or Painterly prints, it’s time to water your girly seed and sport some florals for spring.

087m Ralph Lauren

00210m Collette Dinnigan

Tit for Tat– Finally, something I’ve been doing for years is being validated on the runway. Sheer and sexy, models showed their underpinnings as much as their outerwear.

In the Nude– Neutrals were big on the runway. One in particular was nude. Get naked.

Peekaboo!– Another one of my favorite trends from the runways was the amount of cut out dresses being shown. They are very, very sexy in an unconventional way.

Ruffle Your Feathers– A fun and flirty alternative to fur? Feathers. Just don’t go overkill and end up looking like Big Bird. One feathered piece at a time.

A Shine of the Times– Recession? What recession? Shine and shimmer were all over the runways giving the luxe look. Shine isn’t just for evening. Dress up your everyday look with something shiny.
