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

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.

Why Did You Wear That: Twinkle Toes

My grandpa used to call me “Twinkle Toes” and maybe that’s why I have such an affinity for these sparkly shoes.  I believe he called me Twinkle Toes because I was a prima ballerina (in my own mind), but  I have a feeling that nickname has nothing to do with my insatiable thirst for all things shiny. In any case, everywhere you look right now, there are sparkly, shiny, glitter covered shoes and nothing could make me happier (except maybe a 25 foot chandelier).  Check out these shiners sure to catch somebody’s eye:

Why Did You Wear That: You’re Such a Stud

At times I feel like I may have been a rocker in my past life. I like wild hair, smudgey eyeliner, loud music, and leather. But alas, my goldilocks looks prevent me from looking very edgey so I have to work against my all-American appearance by incorporating some tougher pieces into my wardrobe.  Since the majority of my time is, unfortunately, not spent scissor kicking on stage and smashing guitars, I have to do “rocker chic” in small doses. This means picking one or two pieces at a time and working them into my outfit to kick it up a notch. One of the easiest ways to do so, is adding something studded. Below are some suggestions of items that could be added to anyone’s closet to take you from Joan Collins to Joan Jett.

Remember to just do one or two studded pieces at a time to avoid looking like an over bedazzled Ed Hardy campaign.

Rock on.

Guest Post: I Swear this is Real… You’re Welcome.

A dear friend of mine, “Pinky Toe”, sent me some pictures after she left the East Coast for the Left Coast. The subject line of the email was “you’re welcome.”  Pinky sends me lots of amazing things- she’s my bestie, after all, so I wasn’t really sure what I was in store for.  I was so beyond horrified by them…that I needed to know two things: 1) where the hell did she find these people?, 2) Why oh WHY was she around such specimens?

I would have written the commentary myself, but her response was so beyond brilliant, that I figured I couldn’t have possibly worded it better myself:

“the first two atrocities were spotted at an Academy Awards After-Party at the Beverly Hills hotel… a classy venue that you may recognize from the film “troop Beverly hills”.  These women were executing one of my favorite combinations to photograph; Arrogance, coupled with ignorance.  They both pranced, and posed and were so confident in their offensive outfits, that i had no choice but to help them make fools of themselves.
The last girl is a poor unfortunate soul that i came across at an east side dive bar called “little joy”.  The kind of place where you’d like to wipe the rim before enjoying your drink… so please tell me why she’s rocking the worlds most offensive… muu-muu.  If you have a boxy frame, low boobs and a flat ass, God help me to understand why you wear a shapeless dress like this.  the Jill Zarin Haircut and Gold Steve madden sandals dont help either.  The poor thing told me who made the dress (i want to say Catherine Malandrino or some other big name European designer) but i was so blinded by the ugly, that my ears regurgitated the information.xo”

I’m sure after reading her explanation, you can’t help but understand why I consider her one of my very best friends. Not just anyone can convince women to give them front and back “head to toes” and then write such witty and poignant follow up.

flapper

I can’t lie, I’m obsessed with this spring’s fringe trend.  I love it.  Maybe I was secretly a flapper/hippie in a past life.  Either way, I suggest you jump on the bandwagon and add a little fringe to your life.  Whether you go all out in a flapper-esque skirt, fringed boot, or simple fringe jewelry, there are many ways to incorporate this fun and flirty trend into your wardrobe. Here are a few ideas how: (more…)
