Why Did You Wear That: Not Your Grandma’s Lace

By Kirsten|August 12th, 2012|Celebrity Style, Look for Less, Why Did You Wear That?|

Too often, crochet is associated with that of the decorative little doilies on the back of grandma’s couch. And while that may be the case for some of us, let’s hope it’s the exception rather than the rule.

Friday Frocks: Blue Jean Baby

By Kirsten|August 5th, 2011|Friday Frocks, Why Did You Wear That?|

There’s nothing more American than denim… and apple pie… and apparently Sienna Miller taming a tiger. Perhaps you’re not the type of girl who likes to slip into skin tight jeans, but you’d still like to try to show some patriotism by wearing this heavy duty fabric. Today’s your lucky day! By God, every day is your lucky day because you live in America! Denim isn’t reserved strictly for your stems these days. Just take a look at how these stylish celebs (and America’s favorite Brit) have been wearing their blue jeans.

Who knew denim could make for such fabulous frocks? By wearing you blues in dress form, you are giving a casually playful look that is perfect for summer barbecues, running errands, and lunching with girlfriends. Depending on shoes and and accessories, this look can be dressed up or dressed down. Just like jeans, denim frocks are very versatile.

1. Burberry Brit Denim Blue Sleeveless Pintuck Dress, $207, 2. Sandro Respire Denim Effect Shirt Dress, $335, 3. Quicksilver Wind Swells Dress, $64.50, 4. Forever 21 Denim Wrap Dress, $27.80, 5. Current Elliot Dark Tin Belted Denim Dress, $470, 6. Top Shop Denim Jersey Pinafore Dress, $65, 7. Rebecca Taylor Quilted Denim Dress, $325, 8. COPE Snap Front Chambray Dress, $39.99, 9.

Would You Wednesday: Are We Doing This, Ladies?

By Kirsten|March 4th, 2011|Celebrity Style, Why Did or Why Don't?|

Okay, so I pride myself on being pretty good at spotting trends–and folks, I think I’ve found one. Seems to me like the return of the belly shirt is happening once again.

Camilla Belle showed up to the premiere of From Prada To Nada with her belly bare in Jason Wu and I figured it was just a one off. However, not one, but two mega watt music divas have shown off their taught tummies this week in belly baring tops. Rihanna sported one in Sydney and Jennifer Lopez exposed herself in LA (homegirl looks fan-freaking-tastic for 41, no?).

So this is my question: Are we doing this? Will we go ahead and hop on this trend train? I’m cool with it. I like crop tops and I mean, my stomach is probably one of my favorite body parts, but just give me heads up so I lay off the Sour Patch Kids and up the crunches.

All aboard!

Girl Crush: You Can Ring My Belle

By Kirsten|February 2nd, 2011|Celebrity Style, Why Did You Wear That?|

A girlfriend of mine BBM’ed me the other day in a total frenzy. She wanted to tell me about her new girl crush and ask me if having feelings of sheer adoration for a fellow female was normal. I reassured her that a good ol’ fashion girl crush is NBD (no big deal). There’s nothing wrong with a little female appreciation. Hell, we could probably use more of that kind of girl power!

Speaking of girl crushes, WhyDid has one of its own. I had seen Camilla Belle in photos here and there and had heard her name, but it wasn’t until I saw her wearing that sexy silver Armani dress to a Golden Globes after party that she really caught my attention. Yowza! Who is that beautiful brunette? Her classically beautiful features and shiny dark locks are only complemented by her flawless skin and killer stems. Sigh, I want to grow up and look like her. Though I’m still not clear as to what exactly she is famous for other than stealing a Jonas brother away from T. Swift (I think she was in A Little Princess – in which case, I’ve definitely seen it), I still think she is a certifiable stunner.

While, the chances of me waking up tomorrow and looking like Camilla are slim to none (I’m banking on none), I’ve compiled a collection of goodies that will have me sharing some of Ms. Belle’s sexy style. Pops of color, shiny metallics, grey pumps, smokey eyes with a glossy lip, and that gorgeous glowing skin are all pieces to the Camilla pie. Don’t mind if I do…
