Friday Frocks: Jump At the Chance

By Kirsten|July 18th, 2014|Friday Frocks, Why Did You Wear That?|

Technically not a frocks… because, well, they’re not dresses, jumpsuits are panted versions of the maxi dress. A jumpsuit can be both casual and comfortable as well as silky and sleek. Whether you opt for uptown or down, just fair warning: it’s going to be a struggle in the bathroom. Allow for extra time and be prepared for angry, full bladdered women to anxiously sigh while repeatedly interrupting your bathroom break with angry knocks as you try to free yourself from straps, belts, and other accoutrements. That aside, jumpsuits are kind of like wearing very stylish onesie pajamas out in public without attracting public scrutiny, plus you don’t need to bother shaving. Jump at the chance to wear one this weekend.

Friday Frocks: Wine and Dine

By Kirsten|September 14th, 2012|Friday Frocks|

Seeing as weekends in the fall are meant for meeting a man to keep you warm all winter, you’re going to need a fresh frock to welcome in the “cuffing” season. Sure, we all have the classic LBD, but what about something a little warmer? Something in this season’s most coveted color, perhaps? That’s right, I’m talking about switching your shade like you’re switching from rose to pinot noir. The great thing about fall’s oxblood/burgundy/whatever you’ve decided to call it color is that it’s so very flattering on skin tones from porcelain to caramel to mocha- just like this particular Helmut Lang frock I’ve been lusting after every single time I pass the Intermix on my corner. So, embrace it ladies, these wine hued frocks are sure to get you wined, dined, and warm all winter.

Friday Frocks: Pretty in Pink

By Kirsten|June 10th, 2011|Friday Frocks|

This week’s Friday Frocks is brought to you by the color “pink.” While perusing the world wide web… taking one of my mini mental vacations, I stumbled upon what may, in fact, be the greatest place on earth. No, I’m not talking about Disney World, kiddos. I’m talking about the “Pink Palace of the Pacific,” the Royal Hawaiian. I know what you’re thinking. This can’t be true! How can a place so magical possibly exist? Does this mean unicorns are real too?

Well, I’m not sure about unicorns, but this beautiful rosy resort is no myth. Gazing upon this shrine to every girly girl’s favorite color got me to thinking about what one would wear while lounging poolside at the Pink Palace. Couldn’t be anything but pink, right?
