Why Did You Wear That: Toot It and Boot It

By |October 16th, 2012|Why Did You Wear That?|

You know what I like almost as much as cashmere sweaters, puppies, and unicorns?  Boots!  A great pair of boots (or twenty) makes winter and the impending arctic ice storms (almost) bearable.  In addition to the standard short black bootie, knee high boots, and riding boots, there are four trend heavy boots I’ve picked up on for this fall…and you should too.  Toss one (or two, or three, or four) of these styles into your regularly scheduled program to kick things up a bit (had to).

Why Did You Wear That: Who Wears Short Shorts?

When you think of shorts, you probably automatically envision a casual day running errands or just hanging out in the backyard (ha, backyard).  Rarely, would you think of shorts as formal, but as of late, shorts have taken a turn towards formal.  Celebrities have opted for shorts on the red carpet and have dressed up even their casual cut offs with feminine blouses.  So, next time you’re staring into the depths of your closet trying to figure out what exactly to wear, don’t forget about your abbreviated pants (also known as shorts).  Dressed up with heels and a sexy blouse, you have another option for a warm weather evening look that is anything but expected.

Look for Less: Brace Yourself for the Fall

By |September 11th, 2011|Look for Less, Why Did You Wear That?|

Some of our very favorite celebrity fashionistas hit the tents this week to take in the shows at Lincoln Center.  While some were wearing their summer best til the bitter end, others debuted their new fall favorites.  I love seeing the ladies bracing themselves for the cooler temperatures.  To me, fashion week is like “back to school” for the fashion elite.  Though it may seem confusing (we’re seeing spring shows in the fall- and vice versa), this is second nature to fashion week veterans.  Below are some of my favorite fall looks from our stylish celebs:

1. Rebecca Beeson Smoke Cotton Modal T-Shirt, $29.24, 2. Anthropologie Cuffed Tweed Crops, $118, 3. BCBG Max Azria Black Ponte Cropped Blazer, $143, 4. Kors by Michael Kors Divina Lace Up Bootie, $250

1. J. Crew Silk Lucinda Blouse, $98, 2. REISS Katiya Anthracite Sequin Short, $245, 3. Twelfth Street by Cynthia Vincent Arizona Faux Fur Vest, $249, 4. Rachel Zoe Suede Platform Sandal, $295, 5. Lodis Audrey Envelope Clutch, $78

1. Wyatt Navy Chiffon V-Neck Pleated Blouse, $88, 2.  Motel Ginger Casual Tailored Shorts, $76.84, 3. Rebecca Minkoff Woven Infinity Clutch, $350, 4. Madewell Bandelier Blazer, $178, 5. Islo Isabella Lorussa Boot, $275
