Friday Frocks: Chemise-try 101

By admin|August 8th, 2014|Friday Frocks, Why Did You Wear That?|

I remember slumber parties. I don’t remember pillow fights in my panties though. I think that cliché is some sort of sleazy scenario concocted by pervy males, when in reality, most slumber parties I attended involved Cosmo quizzes, Dr. Pepper, and pizza. I guess nearly nude party games do sound a bit saucier. At our age, most of the sleepovers we now attend are a bit more exclusive- like party of two and maybe a lucky dog at the foot of the bed. While we probably should keep playing games of truth or dare until we die, we don’t necessarily need to continue donning oversized t-shirts and Soffe shorts of platonic slumber parties of years past. One way to ensure the fire doesn’t dwindle after hours is to dress for bed like you’re dressing for your first date. Not literally, of course, because you wouldn’t necessarily wear something see through to dinner at Le Cirque and a bodycon dress for bed might be too binding- but maybe you’re into that. Swap your boxers for something silky, skip the pillow fights, and get right to the pillow talk.

Friday Frocks: Queen of the Night

By Kirsten|May 30th, 2014|Friday Frocks, Why Did You Wear That?|

It’s ironic that someone who spent the majority of her life obsessed with apparel and who threw her very first temper tantrum at the tender age of two over a pair of shoes would rather spend most of her time as an adult wearing as little as possible without catching a charge for indecent exposure. But the moment the door clicks closed behind me, all bets are off and so are my clothes. It should come as no surprise then, that when the summer heat kicks into full swing causing me to question whether or not I’m suffering from early menopausal hotflashes, that I will find any means possible to wear what might equate to a tissue’s amount of fabric as a frock. I’ve been known to wear a nightie to a cocktail party and I don’t see why I should deprive the streets or the city from the same royal treatment… day or night

Why Did You Wear That: Pajama Jam

By Kirsten|May 28th, 2014|Why Did You Wear That?|

Though I rarely sleep with much on once the weather breaks from freezing, I have an overabundance of sleepwear. As a matter of fact, for someone who would rather sleep with her window open for fresh air and sweat than turn on her air conditioner, it seems a bit excessive for the lack of closet and drawer space of New York studio apartments. Well Many times I used bridal pajamas for sleeping comfortably. Despite living in what is essentially a large hotel room, my apartment has become a bit of a hangout, probably due to its convenient location to trouble. Upon entry everyone always comments on the number of rompers and nighties that hang from the doorknobs of my closet… which aren’t there merely for show, but because I’ve got a bit of a textile overpopulation problem. It just so happens that they look nice and add a little bit of color and femininity to my black and white abode. My pajamas are mostly seen by my girlfriends who catch me between showering and dressing for the day, delivery men, and my neighbors across the street who have seen more than their fair share of me. But alas, with summer weekend getaways and shared spaces, it’s probably best to have something to sleep in more modest than your birthday suit and slightly sweeter than your old ratty college t-shirt and pair of boxers that came from who knows where.

Gift Guide: Hey Ma.

By Kirsten|May 7th, 2014|Gift Guide|

With Mother’s Day being this Sunday, it’s probably time to online shop for someone other than yourself. While breakfast in bed and a card with the outline of your hand drawn in crayon may have passed as an angsty pre-teen, it’s time to step your game up. Basically, it boils down to buying mom something you know she probably wants, but wouldn’t dare ask for because that’s what moms do. So, think about something indulgent, something she’s mentioned, or something you’ve seen her longingly look at. I mean, she’s going to like the fact that you even remembered most, but picking out something other than a footbath wouldn’t hurt.

Why Did You Wear That: Erin Go Bra the Sequel

By Kirsten|March 17th, 2014|Why Did You Wear That?|

I voiced how I feel about being told to wear green on St. Patrick’s Day, but the little lacy loophole in my qualm is a pretty little bit of lingerie. And in spirit of the Irish phrase, “Erin go bragh,” meaning essentially, “Ireland forever,” let’s slip into something any lucky leprechaun would approve of. Forget green beer, here are green bras.
