Friday Frocks: White Nights

By Kirsten|May 31st, 2013|Friday Frocks|

We’ve passed that fashion milestone known as Memorial Day, which traditionally signals the ol’ “go ahead” for wearing white (we know that’s somewhat outdated, but in the off chance you’re a traditionalist…). The only time of year a little white dress can trump the little black dress, other than your wedding day or perhaps the Oscars, is from June until late August. So, get your faux glow on and slip into something lighter and whiter to create your own white night.

Some day my prince will come… maybe.

Friday Frocks: Bring Sexy Back.

By Kirsten|January 11th, 2013|Friday Frocks|

In case you missed it, yesterday, ol’ Justin Timberlake very slyly announced his return to music. The internet went crazy… ’cause while we enjoyed you on the silver screen, JT, we missed you on the radio and check updates at Radio Waves. So, let’s take our d out of the box and get back in the booth. Remember this plea to the pop star?

A new album is near and in preparation of “bringing sexy back,” I’ve compiled a collection of dresses that do just that. Sure, I like JT just fine, but I really just wanted an excuse to showcase spine friendly frocks. The vertebrae is the new decollete and these little numbers would be just perfect for shimmying to Timberlake’s new tunes.

1. Boulee Avery Lace Dress, $231, 2. Lovers + Friends Worth the Wait Dress, $134.40, 3. Nightcap Clothing Lace Priscilla Dress, $352, 4. Three Floor Bad Girl Dress, $308, 5. T by Alexander Wang Drape Bac Mini Dress, $109, 6. Lovers + Friends Sway Mini Dress, $245, 7. For Love & Lemons Little Lover Dress, $172.80, 8. UNIF Christy Drape Dress, $87, 9. Free People Bringing Sexy Back Dress, $128, 10. For Love & Lemons Medina Velvet Mini Dress, $159

So brace yourself, kiddos, as Andy Cohen stated, there’s been a richter scale warning issued for imminent “panty drop.”

Friday Frocks: I Can Love You Sweater.

By Kirsten|October 5th, 2012|Friday Frocks, Why Did You Wear That?|

By now, it should be clear how I feel about knitwear. Cardigans, pullovers, hats, and gloves. My favorite piece of knitwear, however, is the sweater dress. By far one of the most versatile pieces of the autumnal season, it can be worn alone with a great pair of boots, with tights when the brisk breeze turns to a crisp chill, and over leggings when the snow plows start to rumble through the streets. A slouchy, soft sweaterdress is the equivalent of an oversized boyfriend shirt. It’s comfortable, easy, and altogether chic. It also has the overwhelming effect of making you look completely cuddly and I cannot be held responsible if handsome strangers have the overwhelming urge to hug you when wearing one.

1. Club Monaco Kaylee Sweater Dress, $170, 2. Forever 21 Essential Cable Knit Sweater Dress, $27.80, 3. MINKPINK Queens Sweater Dress, $99, 4. Lovers & Friends Forever Sweater Dress, $190, 5. McQ Alexander McQueen Knitted and Lace Sweater Dress, $405, 6. ONE by YMC Sweater Dress, $199, 7. by Zoe Esky Tunic Sweater Dress, $238, 8. Rag & Bone Lisbeth Embroidered Sweater Dress, $595, 9. MHL by Margaret Howell Ribbed Knit Wool Sweater Dress, $295, 10. Rebecca Minkoff Essef V Back Cashmere Dress, $368

Ain’t nothin’ better than a dress that’s also a sweater.

Look for Less: There’s A Blouse In The House

By admin|August 25th, 2011|Look for Less, Why Did You Wear That?|

A piece that all women would be wise to incorporate into their wardrobe is a feminine button down blouse. I tend to be a little “bottom” heavy – aka lots of pants and bottoms and not a top to go with ’em. A beautiful blouse can be very versatile depending on how you style it. From a casual outing (Rachel Bilson) to a very important meeting (Duchess Kate) a blouse can be worn for almost any and all occasions. Once you come to terms with the fact that titty tops are no longer appropriate, you too will be embracing the ladylike blouse.
