Why Did You Wear That: Baby, You’re a Firework

By Kirsten|July 4th, 2013|Personal Style|

This year’s Fourth of July couldn’t have fallen more perfectly on the calendar. A four day weekend? God bless, is right. This, however, led many to stress out over where they’d spend such a fortuitous long weekend. I couldn’t even begin to tell you where I was last year during the Fourth. I’ve given it a bit of thought, and I have zero recollection. Sadly, that has no correlation to the amount of fun that was had. The year before, I watched fireworks alone on my rooftop, simply because it was less frightening to hear the fireworks if I could actually see them. To be honest, fireworks scare me, but I also have an irrational fear of dragonflies, so it doesn’t hold much weight. I do, however, love the ol’ US of A despite all its flaws. I’ve never been one to wear a Christmas sweater or paint my face for a football game, but I do think it’s nice to give a patriotic nod to our great United States by adding a bit of red, white, and blue to your holiday ensemble– in a totally non-obvious manner, of course.

Friday Frocks: Blue Jean Baby

By Kirsten|August 5th, 2011|Friday Frocks, Why Did You Wear That?|

There’s nothing more American than denim… and apple pie… and apparently Sienna Miller taming a tiger. Perhaps you’re not the type of girl who likes to slip into skin tight jeans, but you’d still like to try to show some patriotism by wearing this heavy duty fabric. Today’s your lucky day! By God, every day is your lucky day because you live in America! Denim isn’t reserved strictly for your stems these days. Just take a look at how these stylish celebs (and America’s favorite Brit) have been wearing their blue jeans.

Who knew denim could make for such fabulous frocks? By wearing you blues in dress form, you are giving a casually playful look that is perfect for summer barbecues, running errands, and lunching with girlfriends. Depending on shoes and and accessories, this look can be dressed up or dressed down. Just like jeans, denim frocks are very versatile.
