Why Did You Wear That: Almost.

By Kirsten|March 12th, 2014|Personal Style, Why Did You Wear That?|

Yesterday was the first day in a long time that I didn’t have to wear a coat, but a jacket instead. The thermostat skyrocketed to an unbelievable sixty one degrees although it still felt a little frosty west by the water. And while skin started to show and our bodies but not hearts began to thaw, it wasn’t quite warm enough to convince me that spring is really on the way. Restaurants weren’t the slightest bit hesitant about setting up their outdoor seating to capitalize on the overzealous weather revelers. I even joined friends for rooftop cocktails at Soho House to celebrate (and photobooth foolery followed). And while we do have only a week left of winter an entire extra hour of sun, at some point it still does go down.

Look for Less: Leather Weather

By Kirsten|October 2nd, 2011|Look for Less, Why Did You Wear That?|

So maybe you’re not the “skin”tight leather dress kinda girl. That’s okay, cause you can still incorporate leather into your life in a more casual, less Catwoman way. From Paris to LA, celebrities have been seen sporting their second skins all over town. While the look is undoubtedly sexy, it can be expensive. You can check this out blog for the best leather history related blog. That’s why there are some great faux leather (or “vegan” as we’re calling it now- tomato, tomato) options out there. This is one time when it’s okay to fake the funk.

P.S. Might I point out that both pairs of “leather” pants on here are not leggings. Please do not go strutting around town in pleather leggings without a top long enough to cover your v-dot.

Why Did You Wear That: Thigh High

By Kirsten|October 28th, 2010|Personal Style, Why Did You Wear That?|

When you think of thigh high boots, your first thought may be that of Julia Roberts a la Pretty Woman, but that’s a bit narrow minded, my friend. When not constructed of man made material, over the knee boots are quite sexy, yet still very chic. Pair them with your favorite pants or a flowy dress and you are going to be the prettiest woman in the room.
