Why Did You Wear That: Holiday Red-y

By Kirsten|December 12th, 2012|Personal Style, Why Did You Wear That?|

And the hits just keep on coming thanks to my ahead of her time mother. This is yet another adorable dress straight from the closet of Georgia Lynn. I’m so thankful my mom had the good sense to hold onto some of her favorite pieces. While I won’t be inheriting any Chanel tweed jackets (wasn’t her bohemian style), I’m happy to give several stunners of the sweater dress variety a new home. True, you won’t be able to go out and grab this exact one but, I think it’s a great example of a dress that’s more than appropriate for a couple of upcoming holiday party occasions.

The office holiday party.
Semi-formal family functions (whether yours or his).

A form fitting sweater dress (or knit) in a festive color (we all know emerald green would be a fantastic choice as well) at a moderate length says, “Cheers!” not “cheap.” No one wants to be the girl in a mini dancing on the desk/table with a lampshade on her head. And should you have one too many egg nogs and find yourself perched upon said table, this dress will be long enough to keep Victoria’s secret.

dress: vintage, boots: Steve Madden, bag: Amrita Singh, hair: Sultra Bombshell

Thanks, I’ll have another.

Setting the Mood: Such a Beach.

By Kirsten|July 9th, 2012|Setting the Mood|

With temperatures upwards of ninety, It’s been nearly impossible to keep hair frizz free, let alone poker straight. The mere thought of standing in a tiny bathroom with a blowdryer fighting against my natural curl pattern is enough to have me contemplating pulling a Demi a la GI Jane. Seeing as I do not have the bone structure to pull off a buzz cut, I have to deal with my tempestuous tresses in another fashion. I’d like to go ahead and thank the Olsens for making crazy, messy, hair en vogue. I’d then like to give myself a little pat on the back for keeping the messy hair momentum going. Summer is the perfect time to let your hair go wild, much like your weekends. Should you not be freshly emerging from the sea like a golden goddess, there are luckily a few tools that will give you the look of sea salted, windblown mermaid hair.

Alterna Summer Hair Ocean Waves Texturizing Spray, $20, Sultra Bombshell Curling Iron, $130, Josie Maran Bohemian Waves Argan Hair Mist, $22, Helen of Troy 3 in 1 Styling Iron, $69.99

Surf’s up.

The List Volume LXXIX

By Kirsten|July 6th, 2012|The List|

Alright, so, I do think these e-cards have gotten a bit (by “a bit” I mean “completely”) excessive, but when I saw this one the other day, I couldn’t help but laugh… and then realize it could have been tailor made for me. If only I had a unicorn…

Leaving my ID in the copier at FedEx. Score for the 19 year old 5’7 blonde who found it. Enjoy the Amaretto sours.
The insane heatwave that’s happening here in New York. Every day I wake up thinking there is NO WAY it could be hotter. Spoiler alert: it is.
Hair in the drain. I mean, I know it’s mine, but…
The last few times I have gone to Starbucks I merely ordered iced coffee. They forgot it. They did not, however, forget the gentleman behind me’s iced skim double shot hold the water two pumps of vanilla I’ve stopped listening ’cause you’re too high maintenance frappuccino.
Delusional people.

Having the most ridiculous dreams for yourself and actually saying them out loud (try it).
Black diamond studs.
The Sultra Bombshell. My girlfriends have been raving and now I see why.
Fun fact: sometimes I walk around the city with no actual destination and listen to my iPod pretending it’s my personal movie soundtrack.
Delusional people.

May your weekend be full of glitter, unicorns, and giggles. Now, if you don’t mind, my unicorn is thirsty. It’s hot out here.
