Setting the Mood: California Dreaming

By Kirsten|July 11th, 2011|Setting the Mood|

Coming from New York, Los Angeles never really grew on me. Tried as I did, I just couldn’t get into it. Not even the perfectly placed palm trees or toned tanned skin could sway me. I just didn’t jive with the City of Angels.

That is, until I moved up the coast to San Francisco. Isn’t it funny how one thing can make you appreciate another? Needless to say, after yet another freezing cold (not kidding- it’s 40 something degrees today) grey Monday, I can’t help but yearn for sunshine and convertibles. I would even tolerate the bebe clad girls of Hollywood and Affliction t-shirted douchebags of yore for just one sun filled afternoon and a reason to slip on my Oliver Peoples.

But alas, I must endure the city by the bay for just a little while longer…

Why Did You Wear That: A Touch of Turquoise

By Kirsten|February 1st, 2011|Celebrity Style, Why Did You Wear That?|

Seems that the stars of Hollywood have a new best friend. Recent red carpets reveal that the gals are trading in their diamonds for a much more colorful stone in their accessories. The first notable turquoise appearance was on Blake Lively when she wore it to the National Board of Review of Motion Pictures Awards Gala back in January. The pop of unexpected color works especially well with jewel tones, crisp whites, and warm citrus hues. So next time your ensemble seems a bit lackluster, why not add some color with a touch of turquoise.
