Why Did or Why Don’t: Playing with Fire

By Kirsten|November 20th, 2013|Celebrity Style, Why Did or Why Don't?, Why Did You Wear That?|

Teens and adults alike across the globe are waiting with bated breath for the Friday release of the second installment of the Hunger Games trilogy, Catching Fire. All of them except for me. I never bothered to pick up the books… you know I don’t do mainstream… so I have no idea what they are really even about except that people are pretty obsessed with the series’ heroine, Katniss Everdeen and her real life identity, Jennifer Lawrence.

While I won’t be watching the movie, I have been watching Jennifer’s red carpet arrivals and Miss Lawrence wore this Christian Dior gown to the Los Angeles premiere on Monday. You know I’m usually a huge proponent for anything that doesn’t require pants (or bra), but has her crotch baring, barely there getup gone too far? Can this lady do no wrong or does the emperor have no clothes… literally?

Lady Lawrence has been on a fashion world tour, blowing my mind at every stop. Last Friday, she showed my other favorite cleavage, aka “side boob” in a different Christian Dior concoction and I’m loving the dark lip, new cropped hair, and edgy but sweet frock.

So, what are you thoughts on Katniss’s Christian Dior at the LA premiere?

Would You Wednesday: Barely There Britches

By Kirsten|May 8th, 2013|Why Did or Why Don't?|

First it was the see through skirt. Now it would appear that the sheer madness has spread right on over to pants. Celebrities have been seen sporting the look from the red carpet to the courtroom. I’m undecided on the idea as I can see it coming off as quite airy and fun for summer and a great alternative to the maxi skirt, but seeing Lindsay Lohan and Ke$ha trying out the trend makes me want to call the whole thing off.

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.

Why Did You Wear That: Who Wears Short Shorts?

By Kirsten|July 22nd, 2012|Celebrity Style, Look for Less, Why Did You Wear That?|

When you think of shorts, you probably automatically envision a casual day running errands or just hanging out in the backyard (ha, backyard). Rarely, would you think of shorts as formal, but as of late, shorts have taken a turn towards formal. Celebrities have opted for shorts on the red carpet and have dressed up even their casual cut offs with feminine blouses. So, next time you’re staring into the depths of your closet trying to figure out what exactly to wear, don’t forget about your abbreviated pants (also known as shorts). Dressed up with heels and a sexy blouse, you have another option for a warm weather evening look that is anything but expected.
