Why Did You Wear That: Oh, the Memories

By Kirsten|May 23rd, 2014|Personal Style, Why Did You Wear That?|

When I told my friend and photographer, Brian, we should shoot these photos at the Frying Pan, he looked at me like I was a crazy person. Most people who live in Manhattan have at some point made the trek over to the Westside Highway and Chelsea Piers to check out what is the Frying Pan. Perhaps I take it for granted as I have always passed it on my runs outdoors during the warmer weather, but it’s a definite “must see.” This abandoned ship is a great way to fool yourself into feeling like you might be on a cruise, probably not a yacht with Roberto Cavalli. Good weather, bar food, and bikinis are the anecdote to feeling blue when left all alone in the city during Memorial Day.

Why Did You Wear That: Rain, Rain

By Kirsten|May 5th, 2014|Personal Style, Why Did You Wear That?|

Spring in New York tends to be more fickle than the beautiful women who inhabit it. One minute it’s all sunshine and soft breeze. The next it’s dark storm clouds and running for cover. One must always stow a small umbrella in her bag and never become too attached to her blowout. When Figleaves was kind enough to send me some stellar swimwear, I could not wait to suit up. Problem is, it’s hardly warm enough for exposed limbs and there’s definitely not enough sunshine for SPF. So, when the second to last day of April gave us just one last monsoon to remind us who’s boss, we had to get creative. If rooftop poolparties aren’t in Mother Nature’s forecast for me, I’ll just have to make due with my own watering hole.

Don’t despair over your summer plans, folks. You can still wear a luxury swimwear this season if you can safely access a beach, have a backyard you can lay out in, or if you just decide to dress up in one around your house. Do you! We all have to take some precautions and make changes to our travel plans with a pandemic still happening, but sometimes a little shopping can help take your mind off things, even just for a bit. Miami Swim Week happened last year, but the runways work ahead of schedule, and these are the 10 trends we saw for 2020.

One of my favorite things in the world is a great bikini. Thankfully, we live in a country where it is totally acceptable to strut your stuff poolside in the teeniest of bikinis. God bless, America! So in celebration of one of the many freedoms we have in our fine country I have collected a few patriotic swimsuits that do not involve an American flag and will prevent you from looking like you need a Natty Lite and bandana:
