WhyDid and Win: You Want This Kohl in Your Stocking.

By |December 10th, 2012|Why Did You Wear That?|

We all dream of designer duds, but not all of us have the deep pockets to afford them.  That’s why all of the luxury designer collaborations have been major for all of us aspiring fashionistas.  There was Missoni for Target, Margiela for H&M, Christopher Kane for Topshop, and Prabal Gurung for J. Crew to name a few.  This past October, Narciso Rogriguez unveiled its collaboration with Kohl’s at the IAC building in New York.  I was fortunate enough to score an invite to a truly beautiful event.  As if the atmosphere and passed cocktails/hors d’ooeuvres weren’t enough, we were all gifted a serious swag bag on the way out chocked full of pieces from the collection.  Several attendees were decked out in the pieces as well, and I’ve got to say, they looked absolutely fabulous.  The look was strong colorblocking, detailed tailoring, and bright pops of color and pattern.

I was super psyched about a pair of really rad silk pajama pants in my bag, but alas all items were size Medium, which means they are sadly a little bit too big.  Sucks for me… awesome for two of you!  Since I don’t have one millimeter of spare closet space, I will be giving away my goodies to two winners who follow and retweet this message.  Be sure to include the #hashtag for the prize you’d like to win.  ‘Tis the season for sharing (and how amazing would these little numbers be for holiday soirees?).

Good luck!

Why Did You Wear That: Block That Thang Up

By |February 8th, 2011|Celebrity Style, Why Did You Wear That?|

The runways were full of splashes of colors for spring.  Everyone from Gucci (Katy and Olivia are both wearing Gucci above) to Lanvin to Louis Vuitton sent color blocking down the catwalk.

Olivia, Emmy, and Katy have all been spotted sporting this colorful trend.  Color blocking is hot for spring and it’s not a trend for the faint of heart (wallflowers need not apply).  Color blocking works best with a mix of brights in the same color family or for a slightly less bold look try a bright color paired with a neutral (black, nude).

Feeling bold? Try it yourself with some of this bright options:

L to R: Equipment Signature Washed Silk Sleeveless Shirt, $180, Paul and Joe Jacoue Mid-Rise Straight Leg Jeans, $280, Jay Godfrey Holden Color Block Racerback Dress, $495, American Apparel Cotton Spandex Jersey Tank Thong, $26, Pleasure Doing Business 5 Band Solid Skirt, $96.80, Betsey Johnson Color Block Long Tank Sweater Dress, $288, BCBG Color Blocked T-shirt Dress, $148

Rock the block.
