Why Did You Wear That: Taylor Momsen

By Kirsten|October 22nd, 2010|Celebrity Style|

Yikes….Here’s Taylor Momsen while performing with her band, Pretty Reckless, on Thursday night for the Paper Magazine/Express fashion show afterparty. I mean, is she practicing for Halloween? Tay Tay, it’s another week away… but you do look totally spooky. Come to think of it… thanks for the Halloween costume idea.

I have a hard time believing this guitar smashing girl is only seventeen years old. What do you suppose her mother thinks?

Granted, her outfits are a little over the edge… I must admit, she’s pretty freaking talented.

Why Did You Wear That: T-shirt Wars

By Kirsten|February 6th, 2009|Why Did You Wear That?|

I am a t-shirt junkie. I don’t mean like actual “t-shirts” I mean the kind of t-shirts that look “really cool” and you paid way too much money for. (I sometimes secretly believe I was a rocker in a past life).

One of my favorite brands of these overpriced t-shirts is Kain. They make really great loose fitting tees and tanks that are sheer and have a great drapey pocket. They only come in a few colors, but somehow, when you put on this oversized t-shirt, you still look incredibly sexy without trying too hard. Oh- and they’re really soft. Sounds perfect, right? Here’s the kicker: they are $85 a pop. Ouch!

So, brilliant discovery!!! Express makes nearly the exact same t-shirt and guess how much it costs? $24.50!!

Can you tell the difference?

Why Did You Wear That: Lauren Conrad

By Kirsten|December 10th, 2008|Celebrity Style, Why Did You Wear That?|

LAUREN CONRAD COLLECTION

Let me start off by saying I am not trying to be a hater. I think that everyone should pursue their dreams and go after what they want to do in life. But let’s be serious… can we really call this fashion?

Not only are her designs completely uninspired, but you are also paying $168 for a jersey dress that you could have bought at Forever21. I honestly can NOT believe they allow her to show at Fashion Week. It’s a joke. Why doesn’t American Apparel have a show while they’re at it? Next thing you know she’ll be at Bryant Park.

I will give the girl credit since unlike most celebrity brands, she actually “designs” hers. Which is pretty obvious considering it is lacking any creativity. I get that it is easy and “accessible” but that’s just it. You could have thought this up yourself and gathered these pieces from Express. What ever happened to designers like Zac Posen and Jason Wu? Now that’s talent.

I guess if you have enough $$ anything is possible. (more…)
