Real People, Real Style: Doing it Wright

By Kirsten|July 20th, 2009|Real People Real Style|

This stunner must be good at her job. In this outfit, she is “marketing” all of her best assets.

Name: Jennifer Wright

Wearing: Dress by H&M, Bebe shoes

Occupation: Account Executive at Kaiser Marketing

Hometown: Wheeling, West Virginia

If you were going to be stranded on a desert island and your bag was only big enough for 3 items, what would they be?

iPhone, so I can tweet to come save me.
Peanut Butter- makes everything taste delicious since I’ll probably have to eat a couple bugs.
A book on how to make rafts out of sand so I can float home.

Favorite beauty product: Karen Scott capillary concealer.

Style icon: I don’t really have one. I like the way Rachel Bilson dresses…. I’ll guess I’ll embrace that one.
This summer I can’t wait to wear: My new stripper bikini from a random store in Hollywood. Yes, I’m serious. I really love it.

Style tip for all the fashion degenerates: Don’t try so hard to be “different.” You just look like everyone else trying to be different… be yourself!

Best Splurge (it was worth every penny): My T3 Featherweight Hair Dryer Tourmaline Professional Ceramic Ionic Hair Dryer – I swear by it, my hair should be falling out at this point… but it’s still going strong!

Trend you’d like to see die: MC hammer pants aren’t hot unless you have a 4 foot crotch.

Currently coveting: The perfect black clutch. Potentially Tory Burtch’s Reva Clutch? Not 100% though…any ideas?

Fun fact: I really love the city of Pittsburgh. It is the most amazing place in the world! City of Champs!

Biggest personal fashion flop: WHY DID I think it was okay to wear belly shirts in 2005?

Well, Jen, we’ll forgive you for the crop tops cause it looks like since then, you’ve been doing all the “Wright” things.

Why Did You Wear That: Spring Fever- I Think I’ve Got a Temperature!

By Kirsten|April 24th, 2009|Why Did You Wear That?|

Tomorrow is the day we have all been salivating over. It’s going to be 84 degrees and sunny in New York City. Terraces, rooftops, lawns, and brunch spots are going to be swamped with sun worshippers. Shoot. You’re still Casper white and not quite ready for this summer-like heat. Have no fear, I have a few quick fixes!

Self tanner (duh!)- There are SO many options out there for faking a tan. You can go fancy shmancy with Model Co.or pop into Duane Reade for a cheaper version. If you’re like me, you suck at the application of self tanner and always end up with wonky feet and hands. A girlfriend of mine suggests smoothing your regular daily lotion over feet and hands after applying tanner to prevent serious streakage.
Sundress- Cheap and easy options available from Urban Outfitters to H&M to Target. If you aren’t ready (read: haven’t been to the gym in 6 months) to show off your gams, opt for a long maxi style.
Sunglasses- You can pick up a pair of sunglasses on basically every street corner in Manhattan. Or you could pop into Forever21 and grab a cute cheap pair.
Hat- Some might opt for the hat. This is great for bad hair days, protecting freshly colored hair, or roots that haven’t been touched up in a while. The straw fedora is still strong for summer.
Sandals-Before you put on your sandals, do us a favor and polish your toenails. We know they’ve been neglected for the past few months, but now’s their time to shine. I love summer because there are so many cute flat styles of sandals. You can finally give your poor tired feet a break from heels!
Sunscreen- Just because you have a “fake tan” doesn’t mean you don’t need protection from the sun. Slather on at least SPF 15 before heading outside. No need to wake up looking like a lobster.
I bring my puppy everywhere. I feel like I’m missing a limb without him. So, if you feel the same way, don’t forget about that poor little guy. While many restaurants will ask if you want water for your pooch, some don’t. A travel water bowl is crucial for Fido! A cute bag doesn’t hurt either.
