Setting the Mood: Sugar and Spice

By Kirsten|November 4th, 2013|Setting the Mood|

On more than one occasion I’ve been called a paradox; a walking contradiction. At first glance you may think you could quickly delegate me to one box, but after a conversation and cocktail, you may be moving me to another. And just when you think you’ve got me figured out, look out for that curve ball because it’s coming.

I don’t like predictability and following the herd makes me more than uncomfortable. I think there’s much to be said for mixing things up and keeping people guessing, especially when getting dressed. This is precisely why leather and lace are the perfect complement to one another. While lace could be overly feminine or somewhat sexy, leather is tough enough to tip the scales from prissy to powerful. A head to toe leather look would have you reminiscent of catwoman and all over lace could land you somewhere between a Victorian and 80’s Madonna. However, when the two are combined, the look is lethal.

Setting the Mood: Jonesing for January

By Kirsten|January 7th, 2013|Setting the Mood|

For some of you, the party is over. For others (ahem, yours truly) the party is just beginning… and you’re obviously invited. But in case you can’t make it, I understand that January can be a bit bleak, what with the blizzards and below freezing temperatures. It might be quite tempting to barricade yourself inside until the nightmare that is Valentine’s Day passes. In the off chance that you’re looking to be a functioning part of society and perhaps secure a date for V-day, it might be necessary to self medicate in the form of shiny accessories, a heavenly scent, and the perfect shade of red lipstick. Hey, just because I have plans to drown in a pint of Haagen Dazs with How To Lose a Guy in Ten Days’ credits rolling doesn’t mean you have to.
