Why Did You Wear That: Dive In

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

kirsten smithEveryone 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.

The List Volume LXIX

By |April 13th, 2012|The List|

broken record

Oh, why yes, today is Friday the 13th.  What a perfect day for things to suck!  I can barely even see straight so just writing this is going to be a feat in and of itself.  If there are type-o’s or I can’t quite form a cohesive sentence, deal with it.  I am.

  1. Having to pretend I care.  (pssst- I don’t).
  2. Men in tank tops.  Seriously, just stop. ed hardy man tank top
  3. The morning after.
  4. Having to break the news that your +1 has gone to +none.
  5. Sitting down at a desk to write this list and seeing this bitch staring back at me: sports illustrated irina shayk
  6. When your chapstick has melted unbeknownst to you and then you open it and start to apply it only to give yourself an at home wax.
  7. Picking up a drink and thinking it’s going to be one thing, say water, and it turning out to be something else, say vodka.
  8. Mushrooms.
  9. Applying so much eye cream that you look at yourself in the mirror midday and realize that your mascara is now on your cheeks.  Cool.
  10. Your face.
