Would You Wednesday: Is That a Mirror in Your Pants?

Celebrity Blues Metallic Skinny Jeans, $44

Spring and summer 2012 brought us colored and printed denim… so what precisely does the fall have in store for us in the way of denim? Brace yourselves… if brands have it their way… everyday is going to be a party. Aww sookie sookie now. Denim takes a cue from the disco era with metallic shades ranging from pure platinum to glamorous gold.

I want to say that I like it because as I think about it, I’m picturing the likes of Gisele and Miranda channeling their 70’s disco divas in shiny jeans and feathered hair, but then I remember that 98% of the population does not resemble that of a super model. This is when I start to think about ol’ Sally over there, three cubicles down sporting the trend and all of a sudden it’s anything but appealing (kind of like the tuna fish sandwich she’s chowing down on). This is most definitely one of those trends that could either be le freak c’est chic or just totally lay a gasser…

Would You Wednesday: I’m Slipping, I’m Falling, I Can’t Get Up.

By Kirsten|August 1st, 2012|Why Did or Why Don't?, Why Did You Wear That?|

While there’s nothing quite like strapping on the strappiest of stilettos for an evening out on the town, a wise woman knows that there are certain times, she’s just got to be sensible. In New York, this time is usually the commute from home base to final destination. Do you have any idea what subway grates will do to your Jimmy Choos? And while in most other cities, your high heels need only make it from front door to front seat of your car, there are still times when you must give your poor tired toes a break.

Sure, in the summer there are flat sandals, and we’ve been offered the option of ballet flats for fall, but what if those aren’t really your style? Ballet flats aren’t for everyone, afterall. So, grab your silk smoking jacket and a pipe, because this year, the smoking shoe or “house slipper” has made a comeback and you don’t have to be Hugh Hefner to pull it off. From Christian Louboutin to Forever 21, you can pick up the look in a variety of styles and plethora of prices.

1. Rebecca Minkoff Alvin Smoking Shoes, $195, 2. Miu Miu Embroidered Velvet Loafers, $650, 3. Carlos by Carlos Santana Langston Red Suede Shoes, $78.99, 4. Donald J. Pliner Denda Flat Smoking Shoes, $225, 5. Alexander McQueen Sequin Skull Suede Loafers, $645, 6. Charles Philip Eula Marble Print Flats, $155, 7. Jimmy Choo Wheel Velvet Loafers, $495, 8. Splendid Cannes Striped Smoking Shoes, $78,

So, would you trade in your Tory Burch for smoking slippers?

Would You Wednesday: Purple Pooch?

By admin|July 11th, 2012|Why Did or Why Don't?|

So, here’s a photo of Alessandra Ambrosio strolling around town with her precious pooch… posing as her personal My Little Pony. Pretty sure the last lunatic I documented doing this was Aubrey O’Day. You want to be in the same boat with Ms. O’Day, Alessandra? No? Me neither. I know I want a unicorn and all, but I’m not about to get a horn surgically implanted on Smitty‘s head. Okay, fine, I might have clipped in some rainbow hair extensions once…

but the alternative would have been me chalking his hair like mine. Since I didn’t want PETA calling, I’m fairly certain the alternative (clip in extensions) was the right move. A few Pupparonis and all was forgiven. He wasn’t left to walk around being the butt of all the bitches’ jokes at the dog park. The same probably can’t be said for Alessandra’s poor pooch. So what do we think, people? Okay to color your pet to suit your mood?

bow wow wow,

Would You Wednesday: Need a Lift?

Ash Cool Wedge Sneakers, $235 (the black and white seem to be sold out everywhere)

Remember when I blogged about the ever growing trend of celebrities sporting sneakers? Well, I went ahead and took my own advice and got myself some kick ass kicks. I mean, it’s very rare that we, ladies, win out. Something that is in style as well as comfortable? Yes, please! I like the look of super casual sneakers with an ultra feminine frock or short shorts. (I love contradictions, remember?).

So, I got a pair of these Ash wedge sneakers, but have yet to take them on their maiden voyage . I can’t decide if I love them or loathe them. From the front, I adore them… but then I turn to the side… and I kind of abhor them.

The wedge makes me feel like I’m wearing lifts in my shoes… kinda like Tom Cruise. I’m just wondering: does the wedge make a shoe that should be so nonchalant look altogether fussy? Shall we just stick to good ol’ fashion flat sneakers, like my Reebok Dibellos? They have been cool for the past 125 years, afterall. To me, putting a wedge in an athletic shoe is kind of like pretending Drake never played Jimmy Brooks on Degrassi. But that’s just me. Thoughts?

Play ball!

Would You Wednesday: Thigh’s the Limit

By Kirsten|May 16th, 2012|Why Did or Why Don't?|

First it was side boob, now it’s the extreme leg slit. Seems like ladies are looking for any place they can to show off a little bit of skin. The first to really give it a go was Angelina Jolie at the Oscars. Her leg caused such a stir that it got its own Twitter account. She was not to be outdone by the beautiful Anja Rubik at this year’s Met Gala. Her slit was dangerously high, though I doubt anyone’s complaining. So, are legs the new side boob which were, of course, the new cleavage?
