Friday Frocks: Yeah Baby!

By Kirsten|March 11th, 2011|Friday Frocks, Why Did You Wear That?|

It’s no secret that the runways have been channeling the swinging seventies and we’ve seen that flares are making a re-emergence. With spring just around the corner, what better way to get into the spirit than with a flowy patterned frock? I’m not talking about fembots and shooting bullets out of your brassiere. I’m talking about flowing fabrics in psychedelic prints.

These breezy dresses would look great paired with flat over the knee boots and a leather jacket until it’s warm enough to lose the boots and strap on some platform sandals.

Why Did You Wear That: Thigh High

By Kirsten|October 28th, 2010|Personal Style, Why Did You Wear That?|

When you think of thigh high boots, your first thought may be that of Julia Roberts a la Pretty Woman, but that’s a bit narrow minded, my friend. When not constructed of man made material, over the knee boots are quite sexy, yet still very chic. Pair them with your favorite pants or a flowy dress and you are going to be the prettiest woman in the room.

Why Did You Wear That: Fall in Line

By Kirsten|September 1st, 2009|Why Did You Wear That?|

It seems that fall has decided to pop in a little early this year. The temperatures have dropped and there’s that familiar chill in the air. Luckily, I get cold when I travel so I happen to have one of my favorite Bendel’s cashmere cardis with me. Otherwise, I would be freezing and unable to leave the house.

So,this first chilly fall day has got me compiling my fall shopping list. I’m no Anna Wintour, but here’s my September issue.

Over the Knee Boots– whether you go for a flat or a high heeled version, they will add a sexy edge to jeans and flirty dresses.

Barney’s Co-op Over the Knee Buckle Boot, $740

Leather Jacket– if you didn’t grab up a leather jacket for early spring, now’s the time to do so. For fall they are a little more rocker chic and I would stick to black or perhaps a luggage color.

Joie Ailey Leather Moto Jacket, $689

Something Plaid– whether it’s a plaid shirt or just an accessory, plaid is making a come back. Just don’t go plaid crazy. One plaid at a time.

Forever21 Snap Button Plaid Shirt, $11.50

Leggings- Oh, leggings. You aren’t going anywhere are you? Luckily, this season they are available in a multitude of styles. Two stand outs are denim leggings and leather leggings. Just PLEASE remember to cover your hoo- ha no matter what style you choose. Leggings still are NOT pants.

Juicy Couture Denim Legging, $88

Boyfriend Blazer– Cute alternative to a jacket on a brisk day. Pair it with skinny pants and a pretty blouse.

Aqua Boyfriend Blazer, $88

The New LBD– the little black dress will never go out of style, but look for new details this fall. Whether it be asymmetrical details or a mesh inset this season’s LBD’s have a little more edge. Dress it up with heels, dress it down with your leather jacket and boots.

Bebe One Shoulder Mesh Dress, $48

Destroyed Denim– while I think the boyfriend jean will fade out as the temperatures drop, skinny destroyed denim will continue to remain strong. They will look great with a sexy T and booties.
