WhyDid Wisdom: When NOT to Fake the Funk

By Kirsten|December 17th, 2008|WhyDid Wisdom|

A psychic from one of the best Online Fortune Teller Sites once told me that I was “okay with the little white lie.” While this might be true, there are a few things in life that you just shouldn’t fib about.

Herve Leger Bandage Dresses- Bebe, Express, and Alice and Olivia have all tried to replicate this trendy dress. None of them have been able to really recreate the drama of the real thing. A real Herve Leger dress hugs you in all of the right places and sucks you in in the others (think of Spanx gone sexy). There are no stray threads, the fabric is heavy and thick, and it only comes in certain styles each season. A black Herve bandage dress is worth the investment. It can be worn for a multitude of occasions. Skip the imitations though. You’ll only end up looking cheap, not chic.

Lips-Ugh! Have you ever seen women walking around with “duck lips”? So gross. There is nothing sexy about looking like Donald Duck’s sister. I understand that voluptuous lips like Angelina Jolie’s and Scarlett Johannsen’s are sexy, but we weren’t all created equal. Learn to love your lips and invest in a good lip plumper (Lip Infusion is my favorite). Do you really want to walk around looking like Heidi from The Hills? Didn’t think so.

Las Vegas, What Are YOU Wearing?

By Kirsten|December 9th, 2008|Why Did You Wear That?|

Okay, so I know that Vegas is a lotta flash and a lotta cash… but I am having a really difficult time digesting this. Some of it was spent on the ideal charter mini bus rental we’d hired to get to the venue, but the rest I didn’t know what to do. Seriously, my stomach is churning. I think I may have nightmares after what I’ve just witnessed… Buckle up. It’s gonna be a rough one.

Okay, so I’m a little confused here. Who’s who? I don’t think your boyfriend’s hair should ever be longer than yours. The pixie cut is difficult enough to pull off, you don’t need your boyfriend competing with you!

Um, do you think she knows that her bra is hanging out? Oh… I get it. That’s part of her “outfit”! Clever little devil!

OMG. Sadly, this must be a Vegas TREND! This is so weird to me. We have spent years trying to figure out how to try and HIDE our bra straps and now we’re just popping our bras right out the front our tops? (more…)

Why Did You Wear That: Leggings!

By Kirsten|November 30th, 2008|Why Did You Wear That?|

Now it’s time to discuss one of my favorite topics… leggings. Leggings are the new sweatpants, the new Juicy tracksuit. (Thank god). Anyway, while leggings are a much more chic way to stay comfortable, it has come to my attention that many people abuse the right to wear leggings. Below I will walk you through some of the Do’s and Don’ts of leggings:

Leggings are NOT pants. If they don’t have pockets and they don’t have a fly, they are not pants. Please cover your hoo-ha when wearing leggings.
White leggings will never fly unless you are a ballerina or dressed in costume and even then, this is treacherous territory.
Please stop wearing leggings with open toe pumps. All this makes me think of is the Meatpacking District on a Saturday night.
Black is always best. Avoid bright colors unless you are 5’10, 110lbs.
Just because Lindsay says it’s cool, doesn’t always mean it is.http://www.lohangroupie.com/6126-leggings-by-lindsay-lohan-now-available/
Lastly, and most importantly, let’s face it… not every trend is meant for every person. Be honest with yourself, if it doesn’t look good, skip it.

Shirt is too short. Would be a cute look with the sneakers if she covered her snatch.

No. No, no, no!

This is an appropriate length for a top worn with leggings. I prefer a boot, but flats work as well.

Now go put some pants on.

Really though, why did you wear that??

By Kirsten|November 30th, 2008|Why Did You Wear That?|

After sitting back for way too long and witnessing serious crimes against fashion, I feel it is my civic duty to help those who clearly can not help themselves (a true philanthropist, I know).

So this is dedicated to anyone else who feels the pain of bad fashion or anyone who cringes when they see an illegal use of leggings. And, of course, for those who know they need help and just don’t know where to find it. I like to call it “tough love.”

More coming soon….!!!
