Friday Frocks: In the Red

By admin|December 18th, 2015|Friday Frocks, Why Did You Wear That?|

New York may be called the Big Apple, but when it comes to that shiny red skin, we’d prefer it be rotten. New Yorkers tend to favor the LBD over the LRD because wearing color makes us nervous. Regardless of New York’s aversion to any other shade of black than black, a red dress is a closet staple, especially around the holiday season. Much like the “bend and snap,” an LRD works every time. You may be saying, “But I don’t look good in red.” Fortunately for your pretty little whining self, there are enough shades of red that at least one will complement your skin tone and hair color- from crimson to cranberry. So take a step outside of your comfort zone during the party circuit this year and dare to draw some attention to yourself in any various shade of red.

Friday Frocks: Good LRD (Little Red Dress)

By Kirsten|December 13th, 2013|Friday Frocks|

Since most people wouldn’t consider black and white really “colors” per se, I guess I would venture to call red my favorite color- along with ballet pink and sometimes a frosty violet. That said, there is no better time of year to slip into a crimson creation and strut your stuff all over town… or at least every holiday party where your ex and his new (definitely not as cute or sophisticated as you) arm candy may potentially be this season. We’ve all (hopefully) secured a LBD and perhaps even LWD, but now it’s time to kick things up a notch in a LRD. From fire engine red to oxblood to shades of tomato, there is sure to be a LRD that will suit everyone whether porcelain blonde or exotic brunette. Take your pick.

Friday Frocks: Lady in Red

By Kirsten|December 2nd, 2011|Friday Frocks, Why Did You Wear That?|

Now that it is officially December, let the holiday melee begin. Not only do you have to find everyone on your holiday shopping list the perfect gift, you’re going to have to show up to give it to them. And well, that’s probably going to require your attendance at many a fab holiday soiree. So, why not start with one of the most obvious choices? The Little Red Dress. Now, let’s get one thing straight. Every couple of seasons or so, someone tries to dub another color the “New Little Black Dress.” Get real. There is no such thing as the “New Little Black Dress.” It’ll never happen. The Little Black Dress is like the Queen of England- not going anywhere. HOWEVER, during this magical month, it is fun to swap out basic black for a color more festive… like Santa’s famous red suit. (He wears black the rest of the year, FYI). Also, you dont have to go for the oh so obvious fire engine red. Try a deeper shade or perhaps even a pattern.
