Friday Frocks: It’s My Party

By Kirsten|January 21st, 2011|Friday Frocks|

Every girl wants to look great on her special day. Most guys really just don’t seem to understand how important the “birthday dress” is. Probably because they are much more interested in our “birthday suits.” Last night, before dinner at Cecconi’s , I fussed about not having a birthday dress. Someone pointed out that I had a ton of dresses in my closet. “But they are all blaaaack!” I whined. Luckily, after a little digging, I found a dress I had yet to wear and it wasn’t black! Crisis averted. I avoided the birthday blues, but I suggest planning ahead of time. Here are some very fun, very “birthday” dresses.

Why Did You Wear That: Peaches n’ Cream

By Kirsten|January 18th, 2011|Personal Style, Why Did You Wear That?|

I was so excited to see some of my favorite shades on the red carpet this past weekend. I especially loved the color of the Calvin Klein that Emma Stone wore (despite the fact that I was a bit turned off that her hair and skin matched -monochromatic much?). Anyway, any good reason to post pictures of amazingly lovely shades of nudes and peach and I’m in. I really do adore the mix of peach (or sherbert) and nude together especially in a simple sophisticated silhouette. The trick? Do not physically MATCH the color of your dress!

Friday Frocks: Dress the Part

By Kirsten|December 24th, 2010|Friday Frocks|

If there’s one theme we should all be able to get behind, it’s gotta be the beautiful holly berry red of Christmas. You can totally pull it off without looking absolutely ridiculous and it’s a hell of a lot better than those wretched “ugly Christmas sweater” parties. (Who thinks- better yet participates- in such things?) Anyway, why not get into the holiday spirit by slipping into something that would make even Santa smile? Besides, you’ve gotta find something to put on with those cherry red lips.

Friday Frocks: Blushing Beauty

By Kirsten|November 5th, 2010|Friday Frocks, Why Did You Wear That?|

I just can’t get enough of this muted pastel color. I love muted colors to begin with, but this shade is really just so pretty and flattering on everyone. It’s a much more user friendly tone than nude. Blush is a feminine and chic shade that will have all the boys swooning. (Lady Malks, this one’s for you):
