Friday Frocks: Join the Tribe

By Kirsten|April 30th, 2011|Friday Frocks, Why Did You Wear That?|

The tribal print, like animal print, doesn’t seem to be going anywhere as far as patterns are concerned. And while you may just slip into your colorful frock without thinking about its ornate origins, the beautiful pattern you’re sporting was derived from various cultural tribes scattered about the globe. For some people, the tribal print is a way of life. So, wear your print with pride in celebration of different cultures worldwide.

acdc6 Everyone knows you can’t go wrong with an LBD (Little Black Dress… duh), but even I know that sometimes black can get a little boring. Crisis averted, people. By adding a little drama to your LBD you may add some extra drama (the good kind) to you life.

Anyone who knows me, knows that I could basically live my life in a t-shirt… a sexy t-shirt, of course. The more slouchy and see through the better. There’s something so basic and easy about putting on a t-shirt. It would almost be difficult to get it wrong. But alas, many of you have. Here’s a collection of some great t’s to sprinkle into your wardrobe. Perfect for lazy Saturday brunches or sexy Thursday nights out.

Friday Frocks: Gold Diggers

By Kirsten|September 17th, 2010|Friday Frocks|

I ain’t saying she’s a gold digger… Well, you know the rest. Something that caught my eye for Fall 2010 was the heavy use of gold and gold embellishment. One of my favorite shows of the season was Balmain. It was very gold heavy… I felt like I’d hit the jackpot. Speaking of jackpots, gold doesn’t necessarily have to be tacky (talking to you Atlantic City), it can be totally chic when done right. Here’s a glimpse at Balmain’s take on gold frocks and some ways to wear it yourself:
