Would You Wednesday: Barely There Britches

By Kirsten|May 8th, 2013|Why Did or Why Don't?|

First it was the see through skirt. Now it would appear that the sheer madness has spread right on over to pants. Celebrities have been seen sporting the look from the red carpet to the courtroom. I’m undecided on the idea as I can see it coming off as quite airy and fun for summer and a great alternative to the maxi skirt, but seeing Lindsay Lohan and Ke$ha trying out the trend makes me want to call the whole thing off.

Friday Frocks: Wine and Dine

By Kirsten|September 14th, 2012|Friday Frocks|

Seeing as weekends in the fall are meant for meeting a man to keep you warm all winter, you’re going to need a fresh frock to welcome in the “cuffing” season. Sure, we all have the classic LBD, but what about something a little warmer? Something in this season’s most coveted color, perhaps? That’s right, I’m talking about switching your shade like you’re switching from rose to pinot noir. The great thing about fall’s oxblood/burgundy/whatever you’ve decided to call it color is that it’s so very flattering on skin tones from porcelain to caramel to mocha- just like this particular Helmut Lang frock I’ve been lusting after every single time I pass the Intermix on my corner. So, embrace it ladies, these wine hued frocks are sure to get you wined, dined, and warm all winter.

Why Did You Wear That: Who Wears Short Shorts?

By Kirsten|July 22nd, 2012|Celebrity Style, Look for Less, Why Did You Wear That?|

When you think of shorts, you probably automatically envision a casual day running errands or just hanging out in the backyard (ha, backyard). Rarely, would you think of shorts as formal, but as of late, shorts have taken a turn towards formal. Celebrities have opted for shorts on the red carpet and have dressed up even their casual cut offs with feminine blouses. So, next time you’re staring into the depths of your closet trying to figure out what exactly to wear, don’t forget about your abbreviated pants (also known as shorts). Dressed up with heels and a sexy blouse, you have another option for a warm weather evening look that is anything but expected.

Look for Less: Leather Weather

By Kirsten|October 2nd, 2011|Look for Less, Why Did You Wear That?|

So maybe you’re not the “skin”tight leather dress kinda girl. That’s okay, cause you can still incorporate leather into your life in a more casual, less Catwoman way. From Paris to LA, celebrities have been seen sporting their second skins all over town. While the look is undoubtedly sexy, it can be expensive. You can check this out blog for the best leather history related blog. That’s why there are some great faux leather (or “vegan” as we’re calling it now- tomato, tomato) options out there. This is one time when it’s okay to fake the funk.

P.S. Might I point out that both pairs of “leather” pants on here are not leggings. Please do not go strutting around town in pleather leggings without a top long enough to cover your v-dot.

Friday Frocks: Second Skin

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

There’s been plenty of buzz in regards to Anne Hathaway’s Catwoman costume for the upcoming The Dark Knight Rises film… and judging by this photo, I can see why. Anne looks pretty sexual. The funny thing is, there’s not much skin showing. The only skin that is showing is that of her leather catsuit. Throughout time we’ve seen that if you stick a woman in some skin tight leather, you’ve immediately got yourself a bombshell. There is just something about black leather that can make even the most demure damn suddenly sexy.
