WhyDid and Win: Flirty and Thirty with Cosabella

By Kirsten|June 25th, 2013|WhyDid and Win|

Shouldn’t come as news that I’m semi obsessed with lingerie, delicate underpinnings, and basically anything lace. Whether anyone besides Smitty sees it, doesn’t really matter. Knowing I’m wearing something beautiful and feminine under there is the ultimate confidence booster –and there is no brand more flirty or feminine than Cosabella. I was first introduced to the brand while buying lingerie for Henri Bendel and needless to say, I’ve been a fan ever since. The Soire Soft Bra is my go to for steamy summer nights. In honor of thirty years of sexy (not me, silly), Cosabella and WhyDid are giving you a chance to win 3 Panty Pack from their newest addition, Trenta.

The new must-have group celebrates Cosabella’s 30 Years of Color and innovation! The fine lace of Trenta is shaped to lay flat on the body for a seamless effect. It features styles in all-over delicate lace and styles in smooth microfiber mixed with lace galloons and insets. The thong wraps your body smoothly with a single back seam to enhance comfort and emphasize the delicateness of the lace.

So say goodbye to VPL and enter for your chance to win by following WhyDid and Cosabella and using the hashtag, #Cosabella30.

The only holiday that may be more difficult than Christmas to navigate regarding gift giving is Valentine’s Day. I feel as if Valentine’s Day is almost like some type of booby trap that we, as women, created to find out just how our men feel about us. For instance, last year, I didn’t get a dang thing from my then fiance. Not so much as a card. That’s basically how I knew it was over. It’s kind of like when our boos ask, “What’s wrong?” and we reply with, “Nothing,” throwing down the gauntlet that he better figure out what’s wrong. A Valentine’s Day gift is essentially the same thing. You hand me a bunch of Gerber daisies or a faux velvet box of drugstore chocolates and I’m going to hand you the phone to call a cab. And to throw an even bigger curveball to our man friends, there’s that whole level of sexual appropriateness. Three weeks in and you gift me furry handcuffs? Eh. A year and a half in and you present me with a coffee table book? Double eh. Basically, guys are screwed, so why not just do them a solid and leave this page open on their browsers? Not like I’ve never done that at an Apple store. And if you’re unattached (much like myself), get yourself something extra special to celebrate YOU or get together with gal pals and do a sexy gift exchange. At least you know you’ll get something you like.

Is it hot in here?

Why Did You Wear That: Nightie Night

By Kirsten|November 27th, 2012|Why Did You Wear That?|

Along with spritzing myself with a bit of perfume before bed, I also enjoy a good nightie. No, I don’t mean a nightcap, although I do enjoy those too. I am talking about a good ol’ fashion nightgown. Maybe not the style that the Golden Girls don- but now that you mention it, I love those too- I’m just talking about a simple chemise in satin, silk, chiffon, or the softest cotton. Yes, it’s true. I’m a lady.

Sure, in the 90’s we all did the whole “boxer shorts” or Soffe cheer shorts thing, but I never could get down with the women who ended up wearing giant flannels or nasty t-shirts and ratty old boxers. Girlfriend, take a little pride in your night attire. If your man wanted to go to bed with his pal, Larry, he would… and in that case, Larry would know better than to wear that stained USC shirt to bed with his boo. I get the irony: this is all very hilarious coming from a lady who sleeps alone, but I stand firm.

Over the years I’ve amassed quite the collection of nighties and knickers. So many that the ones that did not fit inside my closet (yes, there are more) are hanging “decoratively” on my closet door handles. I know what you’re thinking… “How is this girl single?!” No? That wasn’t what you were thinking. Hm… Anyway, it’s true, I don’t get invited to too many sleepovers anymore. No more pillow fights or Truth or Dare for me, but I always am sure to be wearing my boudoir best ’cause you never know who you might meet in your dreams.

1. Elle Macpherson Intimates Obsidian Phoenix Lace Trimmed Stretch Silk Satin Chemise, $175, 2. Eberjey Leonora Lace Trimmed Chemise, $97, 3. Stella McCartney Clara Whispering Stretch Silk Chemise, $250, 4. The Lake and Stars Royale Chemise, $122.50, 5. Julianne Aimee Chemise, $137.50, 6. Honeydew Intimates Emma Elegance Chemise, $45, 7. Only Hearts Sara’s Lace Chemise, $52.50, 8. Cosabella Peacock Babydoll, $193.50, 9. Hanky Panky Sheer Enchantment Babydoll, $98, 10. Chantelle Eternelle Chemise, $135

Sleep tight, or not.

WhyDid Wisdom: Safe Shopping

By Kirsten|November 26th, 2012|WhyDid Wisdom|

Like I said, large crowds of rabid consumers frighten me. However, I do love getting a good deal. Therefore, Cyber Monday is right up my alley. I like to pride myself on being a pretty elite online shopper. I’d say my return rate (as in “WTF, why did I order this?”) is fairly low. So, in case you still have a little bit of cash left after throwing elbows on Black Friday, here are a few of my favorite things that you can scoop up from the safety of your own home…

One of my absolute favorite things in life is perfume. Fun fact: I put on perfume before bed (and I sleep alone) because I just love the way it smells. Atelier Cologne is some of the most beautiful smelling perfume on the planet and today, you can take advantage of a little extra something when you purchase a full size bottle. My go to is Vanille Insensee.

Shopping isn’t all about purchasing shoes and handbags. How is a lady to fit into her new leather leggings when she’s just lived off of pumpkin pie and hot toddies for an entire week. I can’t believe I’m actually giving away this little secret, but my favorite Pilates studio in Manhattan has quite the deal happening. Check out Chelsea Movements‘ The Perfect Ten deal.

Chelsea Movements Pilates

You know what my favorite kind of party is? A panty party. Fortunately, Cosabella is offering 30% off on all their entire site. So, perhaps I won’t be sleeping alone too much longer!

And get yourself or your friends some holiday bling with 40% off on Gorjana Jewelry.

The cold weather in NY is sure to give you pink cheeks, but how about procuring some cheek stains just in case? … so let’s all just go ahead and stock up now at Tarte with a 25% discount!

Safety first!

Why Did You Wear That: Hats Off To You

By Kirsten|August 27th, 2012|Celebrity Style, Look for Less, Why Did You Wear That?|

Summer may very well be on its way out, but that hasn’t stopped a few stylish celebrities from shielding themselves from the last bits of sun with their favorite headwear. Whether they’re trying to be inconspicuous (yeah, right) or hide a bad hair day (dirty hairy), they all look quite chic from morning til midnight in everything from fedoras to a standard straw hat.
