Friday Frocks: Lil Bit of This, Lil Bit of That

By Kirsten|November 8th, 2013|Friday Frocks|

Every woman, no matter her age, lifestyle, or body type must own the perfect LBD. At times, a simple black frock can seem a bit dull, but there are some easy ways to add interest to an otherwise standard staple. To avoid falling flat, texture can be a crucial part of keeping your LBD from being run of the mill. Leather, lace, or a combination of the two will take you from standard to standout. In a classic shape or something more au courant, the basic little black dress has never looked better.

Friday Frocks: Oh Baby, Baby!

By Kirsten|August 12th, 2011|Friday Frocks, Why Did You Wear That?|

Since we’ve been on the topic… The last thing I feel like doing when I have a “friend in town” is squeezing myself into a dress tight enough to cut off all blood circulation and then shoving my poor undeserving toes into shoes that could serve as a form of ancient torture. Whether you’re feeling the bloat like me or you just want to indulge in dessert at dinner, the babydoll dress is the answer to all of our problems. Flowy and romantic, it is feminine enough not to be frumpy. While you wont’ be able to see the outline of your organs, you’ll still look pretty. Guys probably won’t be a fan of this one… but your tummy will.

Friday Frocks: LWD

By Kirsten|June 3rd, 2011|Friday Frocks|

Despite the fact that the whole “don’t wear white before Memorial Day or after Labor Day” stigma is really no longer relevant, many people still follow these strict guidelines. Seeing as we are now in the “safe zone” of wearing white, I think it’s high time to trade in that trusty black cocktail dress for something a little lighter. May I suggest white? Nothing says summertime like golden skin against stark white hemlines.

By the way, how about a little history lesson on the rules of white between Memorial Day and Labor Day?:

Most of the folk-lore about wearing white seems to be rooted in the South (in other words, the part of the United States that is below the Mason Dixon Line). For GRITS (girls raised in the south), wearing white before Easter or after Labor Day is simply a clear sign of bad manners and poor class. Still today, many Southern ladies would never be seen wearing white in the winter or fall months, that is unless they were getting married.

There you have it, ladies. Time to move into this century. Ever heard of winter white? Anyway, why not slip into one of this white hot frocks this weekend?

1. BB Dakota Jessica Dress, $66, 2. Forever 21 Crochet Yoke Surplice Dress, $19.80, 3. Kimberly Ovitz Buren Dress, $585, 4. INC International Concepts Lace Sheath Dress, $99.50, 5.

Friday Frocks: Maxed Out

By Kirsten|May 20th, 2011|Friday Frocks|

I HAVE NOTHING TO WEAR!!! How many times have you shouted that at your closet whilst standing there staring at its contents in just your skivvies? For me, the number of times is countless. No need to take it out on your poor wardrobe though. Instead invest in the never fail fashion trend: the maxi dress. The easiest way to look chic this summer is by slipping into a maxi dress. Don’t believe me? Here’s my top five reasons for maxing out:

It’s basically one step dressing. A maxi dress has the ability to make you look feminine and romantic without trying.
Maxis are incredibly figure forgiving. Eat as much potato salad as you please.
You don’t need to shave your legs. (Sorry, fellas).
Perfect for pairing with flats. Give those tootsies a rest!
You can hide small children, pets, and thunder thighs under them.

Whether you choose a breezy bohemian style or a simple slinky column, you’re bound to turn a few heads in one of these:

1. Twelfth Street by Cynthia Vincent Flutter Sleeve Maxi Dress, $366, 2. Diane von Furstenberg Ethyl Long Wrap Maxi Dress, $545, 3. Winter Kate Silk Maxi Dress, $260, 4.
