Setting the Mood: Land of the Free, Home of the Babes

By Kirsten|June 30th, 2014|Setting the Mood|

Oh how quickly time flies. I remember last year’s Fourth of July as if it was yesterday. Much like I always do, I had put off making any actual plans for the holiday, but was fortunate enough to not be left entirely alone as one of my best girlfriends somehow landed herself in the city as well. To make the best of it, we got a picnic together, gathered our SPF, sunglasses, Whispering Angel, and towels and took them to the roof. We embraced the day and the sun listening to our favorite Pandora station while partaking in some serious girl talk. It wasn’t all stars and stripes for us though. As I was dodging irate phone calls from the guy I was seeing, basically threatening my life if I didn’t find a way to make it to New Hampshire on the next train (do trains even go to New Hampshire?), what appeared to be the set up for a rap video shoot complete with DJ and turntables arrived on my roof. Again, we attempted to make the best of our dire circumstances as my roof boasted the best view for fireworks that year. However, when we started being filmed without consent in our teeny bikinis, we packed up and I tried to book the next flight to Manchester. We never did see the fireworks.

Why Did You Wear That: Dive In

By Kirsten|March 6th, 2014|Why Did You Wear That?|

Everyone knows I love lingerie, a good cocktail, and my maltipoo, Smitty. Something else I love more than the average juice fasting female is swimwear. Some girls are all about bags, some about shoes and while I love both, a bikini is always certain to catch my attention as well as my paycheck. I even consider myself a bit of a bathing suit expert. I mean, I spent two years having the pleasure of filling Bendel’s with barely there beachwear.

I love bathing suits so much there are times when I wonder why I don’t just move to an island and live in a bikini whilst sipping on fresh coconuts, but then I get bored even imagining it and continue on in my concrete jungle.

Sure, this took me the greater portion of a day to pull together, but because I love swimwear so much, I enjoyed every moment of it. Whether you love a one piece or the teeniest of itsy bitsy bikinis, I’ve rounded up a suit in almost all of this spring’s biggest trends that should tickle your fancy or at least your fanny. So, here it is. The most elaborate swimsuit guide you’ll see and ever need to get you beach bum and poolside ready.

WhyDid or WhyDon’t: Get Waisted

By Kirsten|July 31st, 2013|Celebrity Style, Why Did or Why Don't?, Why Did You Wear That?|

This summer, many celebrities have been seen wearing a retro style bathing suit in the form of a high waisted bikini. On one hand, it’s nice to see Hollywood covering up its hoo-ha’s, but on the other, some styles were not meant to be resuscitated. Everyone from Drew Barrymore to Uma Thurman has worn one of these torso-centric suits. You know Taylor Swift loves herself a high waisted bikini.

I understand the ideology behind it. You’re thinking, “This bad boy is going to hide my FUPA and minimize my muffin top.” Well, I hate to be the bearer of bad news (no, I don’t), but the only thing a high waisted bikini is going to do is emphasize all the flaws you seek to hide. Not to mention, most retro suits have much lower cut legs, which will only make your stems appear stumpier. Basically, you’re like one big walking pelvis. The only thing worse than this beach look from the front, is how it looks from behind. Talk about long ass.
