Smart is the New Pretty: Date Night Chatter

By Kirsten|August 10th, 2011|Smart Is the New Pretty|

I’ve always been a firm believer that no matter how beautiful you look in that new Kimberly Ovitz, if you open your mouth and have nothing more intelligent to talk about than which pro athlete one of the Kardashians is dating, then you’ve just wasted a lot of makeup and time in the mirror. So, to help you lovely ladies out, I’ve found some of the web’s hottest headlines that are totally chatter-worthy:

Now that you’ve scored a lovely evening out with a handsome gentleman, let’s just hope he doesn’t work in finance… but at Apple instead. [Forbes]
He could then fill you in on the new Facebook messaging iPhone app that may very well replace texting. [Mashable]
Unless, of course, the hacker group, Anonymous, destroys Facebook on November 5th… [Mashable]
Which then would foil the NYPD’s plan to track criminals via social media. [Mashable]
If things go well you might want to test out MTV’s new app to help you find the closest condom or [Mashable]
book a flight during Virgin America’s crazy online sale (hurry though it’s only 24 hours!). [Mashable]
I wouldn’t recommend heading to London just yet [HuffPost]
but perhaps a trip to Paris where you can now buy baguettes from vending machines? [Gawker]
Didn’t see sparks on your first date? Those were just solar flares. [HuffPost]
Well, at least your Louboutins look great… or are those YSL? [NYMag]

Even if your date turns out to be a dud, at least you know you were armed and prepared both mentally and physically.

Friday Frocks: LWD

By Kirsten|June 3rd, 2011|Friday Frocks|

Despite the fact that the whole “don’t wear white before Memorial Day or after Labor Day” stigma is really no longer relevant, many people still follow these strict guidelines. Seeing as we are now in the “safe zone” of wearing white, I think it’s high time to trade in that trusty black cocktail dress for something a little lighter. May I suggest white? Nothing says summertime like golden skin against stark white hemlines.

By the way, how about a little history lesson on the rules of white between Memorial Day and Labor Day?:

Most of the folk-lore about wearing white seems to be rooted in the South (in other words, the part of the United States that is below the Mason Dixon Line). For GRITS (girls raised in the south), wearing white before Easter or after Labor Day is simply a clear sign of bad manners and poor class. Still today, many Southern ladies would never be seen wearing white in the winter or fall months, that is unless they were getting married.

There you have it, ladies. Time to move into this century. Ever heard of winter white? Anyway, why not slip into one of this white hot frocks this weekend?
