Friday Frocks: In Full Bloom

By Kirsten|March 15th, 2013|Friday Frocks, Why Did You Wear That?|

The Soho House roof has reopened, restaurants have started seating outdoors, and I’ve started applying self tanner. Spring has (almost) arrived. Keeping in theme with getting into the springtime spirit, the best kind of frocks are those with flowers. Don’t fret, Pollyanna, not all floral frocks have to be fussy. Get a flower printed pattern cut in a sleek modern silhouette to look feminine, but not five years old. Not only is this look totally on trend, it’s sure to get you through the onslaught of summer weddings you’ll be forced to attend.

Friday Frocks: Second Skin

By Kirsten|September 30th, 2011|Friday Frocks, Why Did You Wear That?|

There’s been plenty of buzz in regards to Anne Hathaway’s Catwoman costume for the upcoming The Dark Knight Rises film… and judging by this photo, I can see why. Anne looks pretty sexual. The funny thing is, there’s not much skin showing. The only skin that is showing is that of her leather catsuit. Throughout time we’ve seen that if you stick a woman in some skin tight leather, you’ve immediately got yourself a bombshell. There is just something about black leather that can make even the most demure damn suddenly sexy.

1. Bailey 44 Faux Leather & Knit Dress, $196, 2. Helmut Lang Baby Asymmetric Leather and Wool Dress, $1,025, 3. Shakuhachi Pleated Leather Dress, $484, 4. Donna Mizani Leather Front Yoke Cutout Dress, $424, 5. Maje Hit Leather Mini Dress, $650, 6. Free People Leather Cap Sleeve Dress, $348, 7. Vince Leather Tunic Dress, $595, 8. Guess Legacy Leather Dress, $328, 9. Ali Ro Swingy Leather Dress, $595, 10. Free People Faux Leather Tank Top Dress, $138

Me-ow!

Friday Frocks: Nifty for Fifty

By Kirsten|July 22nd, 2011|Friday Frocks|

While summer is now in full swing, there are really only a handful of beach days and summer Fridays left. (Although it was pointed out to me today that summer officially ends on September 22). You’ve probably done most of your summer shopping in advance but, there’s still the possibility of a hot (both literally and figuratively) date or rooftop cocktail party to attend before September rolls around. In the off chance that you’ve exceeded your seasonal budget, I’ve rounded up some summer friendly frocks that are also friendly on the wallet. Now you can enjoy the rest of the warm weather without feeling guilty about going into credit card debt (never in style- ever). Behold: 10 dresses all under $50:

1. ModCloth Saturday Night Dress, $42.99, 2. Forever21 Ditsy Floral Chiffon Dress, $19.80, 3. Bisou Bisou Scoopneck All Over Pleat Dress, $31.99, 4. Matthew Williamson Sleeveless Halter Romper, $27.99, 5. Free People Animal Knit Bodycon Dress, $49.95, 6. Victoria’s Secret Off the Shoulder Print Tee Dress, $29.50, 7. Arden B.

Why Did You Wear That: So Fur Real

By Kirsten|December 21st, 2010|Why Did You Wear That?|

Walking around New York City this past week, I have seen SO many people decked out in fur. It’s is painfully cold, but I don’t recall ever seeing the citizens of Manhattan ever donning so much fur. Rather than piss off PETA, I have collected seven stellar FAUX fur styles that are certain to keep you all warm and fuzzy.
