Would You Wednesday: Thigh’s the Limit

By |May 16th, 2012|Why Did or Why Don't?|

angelina jolie anja rubik slitFirst it was side boob, now it’s the extreme leg slit.  Seems like ladies are looking for any place they can to show off a little bit of skin.  The first to really give it a go was Angelina Jolie at the Oscars.  Her leg caused such a stir that it got its own Twitter account.  She was not to be outdone by the beautiful Anja Rubik at this year’s Met Gala.  Her slit was dangerously high, though I doubt anyone’s complaining.  So, are legs the new side boob which were, of course, the new cleavage?

Friday Frocks: The Anti-Sparkle Dress

By |December 23rd, 2011|Friday Frocks, Why Did You Wear That?|

It was recently brought to my attention that not every woman is interested in decking herself out from head to toe in sequins, glitter, and sparkles.  I know.  I can hardly believe it myself.  Why would you not want to risk damaging the eyes of those around you with the blinding glimmer of your festive frock?  Mind boggling really.  Well, anyway, if you are one of the lovely ladies who is just not feeling all that glitters, it would prove to be somewhat difficult to navigate the racks and racks of embellished, beaded, and rhinestoned attire.  Lucky for you, I’ve found some absolutely cocktail party appropriate frocks with nary a sequin in sight.

1. Motel High Contrast Dress, $79.99, 2. Alice + Olivia Tamira Leather Bustier Dress, $596, 3. Parker Double Flared Sleeve Dress, $209, 4. Helmut Lang Long Drape Dress, $275, 5. Tibi Long Sleeve Dress with Cutout Back, $396, 6. Diane von Furstenberg Enny Dress, $375, 7. French Connection Shelby Stripe Pleat Dress, $198, 8. Porter Grey Sleeveless Dress, $385, 9. Tibi Silk and Lace Dress, $515, 10. Issa Short Kimono Dress, $595

And wouldn’t you know?  These dresses are the perfect solid palates to adorn with some sparkly accessories.

Friday Frocks: Second Skin

By |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!

Why Did You Wear That: This Week’s Top 5 Looks

By |December 4th, 2010|Celebrity Style|

I struggled a bit this week trying to round up the best of the best in Hollywood. Probably has a lot to do with the overwhelming trend of black lace LBD’s. Everyone from Taylor Swift to Kylie Minogue was spotted in one. So, I finally found five lovely ladies deserving of this week’s best dressed list.

  1. Carrie Underwood in Jenny Packham for the CMA Artists of the Year Celebration. I wasn’t surprised I liked this look as soon as I saw it was Jenny Packham.
  2. Blake Lively at Footwear News Achievement Awards wearing Prabal Gurung and Christian Louboutin shoes (of course). Does she ever look bad?
  3. Reese Witherspoon in a Dolce & Gabbana dress and Jimmy Choo shoes while revealing her star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. Looking as American as apple pie. 
  4. Fergie wearing a hot pink D&G blazer and Helmut Lang leather pants at the launch of Avon Voices.  Hey, at least her outfit is better behaved than her husband…
  5. Most improved award goes to Katy Perry wearing Georges Chakra with Brian Atwood heels at the Grammy Nominations Concert.  Yay! Katie is wearing her grown up outfit!
