Look for Less: Polished and Practical

By Kirsten|December 4th, 2011|Look for Less, Why Did You Wear That?|

It sorta seems like life went ahead and decided to cram as much as possible into the last few months of the year. Sort of like it forgot and then was like, “Oh crap! We gotta do all this.” So, that keeps ladies like you and me pretty busy. In between all of the end of year festivities, we still need to find time to run those never ending errands. They sure don’t take a holiday, do they? This is where that whole “fashion vs function” argument comes into play. Is it ever possible to be both? These three celebrities prove that it is, in fact, feasible to be both polished and practical while running errands.

Why Did You Wear That: How Does Your Garden Grow?

By Kirsten|June 8th, 2011|Personal Style, Why Did You Wear That?|

A few weeks ago, I wrote about how much I loved my new hobby– gardening. While at first, I hit a little rough patch (no pun intended), with a little help from my FMIL (future mother in law) I got my gorgeous little garden in check. Now that my buds have blossomed it’s all a matter of maintenance. Our wonderful gardener, Antonio (Yes, we have a gardener. No, he doesn’t look like he belongs on the cover of a Jaclyn Smith novel), comes twice a month to do the heavy lifting, but the rest of the time it’s up to me. So, every night (except for Tuesdays- that’s sprinkler day) I head outside after work with my trusty watering can and sprinkle my petals with water and lots of love. While my mother would argue that these are not “play clothes,” I am a grown woman and I can do what I want… Okay, actually, I change when I’m digging in the dirt. For a simple, spring sprinkle, however, this is just fine.
