Polar Bear Express

When I was a kid my mom used to buy me holiday pajamas. They had footsies and hoods or were really long night gowns with Christmas trees and jingle bells. At the time, mom thought I looked cute but I still felt ridiculous. For years I abandoned the idea of proper holiday sleepytime gear until now. On a whim, my BFF and I walked into Topshop and saw this polar bear onesie. We rushed to the dressing room to try them on. We looked crazy! The other shoppers were looking at us like we'd lost our minds. Could you blame them! Two fully-grown adults in polar bear onesies looking like oversized children. So what did we do? We bought them!


You can't deny how absolutely adorable this is. I wear it when I'm lounging around my apartment. I slip it on in the morning instead of my bathrobe and sip my lattes while I check emails. The onesie is cream all over and made of fleece. I've stayed warm in this even on the coldest nights. The polar bear face keeps my head nice and toasty. See how gangsta I look with my hood down. Cock it to the side like I'm sporting a Brooklyn snap back.


I've even danced around in it. I attempted to twerk like the Miley Cyrus video, but I forgot to stretch and got a cramp in my leg instead. You can see my version here. Anyway, I'm still a cool polar bear. I keep it real in my onesie. Can you imagine showing up to holiday parties in this? You'd be the sh*t! Aaaaaa! Ok, but really. It's cute, so you know what to do...

Elf Ears

Look as cute as one of Santa's little helpers or those incredibly regal beings in The Hobbit. Forget the traditional earrings. Ear cuffs are totally in right now. You might have seen some fashion heavyweights sporting them at fashion week and thought "that's cool, but I could never wear it." Au contraire, mon cheri. Ear cuffs can work for anybody. They're especially sexy when you've got short hair or you're when you're wearing your hair in a messy bun. They even look cool when your hair is down and just tucked behind one ear.

I got my first serious ear cuff as a gift last year. Although I like to take risks, I was initally a little hesitant about wearing it. I enjoy big, bold jewelry so why should this be any different? My next ear cuff was this jeweled chain one from Topshop. It was on super sale, so it's not like I spent an arm and a leg on something that's trendy. Do you like it? I absolutely love the way it hugs my ear, and it's really comfy. See how it shines. Who knew that my ear could look so good.

Finding the right cuff for you really depends on your own personal style. Try these babies on. You can opt for a sleek gold design like this one by PL by Peter Lang. If rhinestones are your thing, add some sparkle with this floral cuff by BCBG or even this crystal and amber cuff from ASOS. For the girls who's all about Ice, Ice baby this geometric ear cuff is perfect for you. And if you're still a little nervous about the style, try this single jewel cuff by OKA Jewelry. I promise you'll look edgy or elegant regardless of which one you choose. So get an ear cuff now. Legolas will love it on you!

Punk at the Met

Fashion anarchy takes control at one of the most prestigious red carpet events of the season. Ok, so I'm exaggerating a little bit, but someone still needs to call the fashion police. Last night celebs and pop icons showed their "best" at the Met Gala to kick off the Costume Institute's annual exhibit. This year's theme is Punk: Chaos to Couture. I hate to say it, but there were way more misses than hits on my style scoreboard. The good was good, and the bad was just terrible. And you already know who takes home the award for worst dressed of the night. Let's get to it...

First of all, most of the celebs played it too safe. It's like they were more concerned with looking pretty than really going with the theme. Aside from a few who really went for it like Nicole Richie in Topshop and Miley Cyrus in Marc Jacobs, everyone just looked boring. For goodness sakes, it's PUNK, people! I want sharp edges, disheveled hair, jewelry that looks like it will hurt somebody not pretty curls and chiffon. Too many stars tried to mix dark rocker beauty with girlie dresses. It just didn't work. Go hard or go home. Looks I loved : Anne Hathaway as a blond bombshell in Valentino and Jaime King with a spiked tiara and satin tux also from Topshop. No surprise that Gwen Stefani looked perfect in Margiela, but then again she's the queen of punk glam. Joan Smalls and Tom Ford weren't exactly edgy, but they rocked it wearing nothing but Tom Ford, of course.

Now for the bad...
I just can't. I have so many questions. What the h*** ?! Why in the **** ?! Who the f*** is your stylist?! I get that it's a Givenchy custom-made gown. Your new BFF Beyonce is also wearing Givenchy. Both are prints from the Fall Ready-to-Wear 2013 collection. Riccardo Tisci, creative director of Givenchy, is also one of the co-chairs for the event. But the question still remains: why did you wear this ?! Wearing your grandma's upholstery is not acceptable for the Met. Not only do you look like an actual couch, but you've got printed gloves to match. No ma'am! I can't take it anymore. Looking at this train wreck makes me ill. Come on Kanye, you've got to make sure your girl doesn't embarass you. No wonder Kim wasn't invited before. Think about your fashion legacy, 'Ye. This one goes down in history as TERRIBLE.

Chime in: Who made your best and worst list from last night's Met Gala?

On Fire: Geometric Lace Bra & Knickers

This may be a bit intimate, but I figured I'd share it anyway. My lingerie is straight up boring. There's no color, no fun, and no va va voom. Because my job requires me to wear undies that won't distract from the clothes I'm modeling, most of my undergarments are nude, black, and blah. Deep down inside I know that I'm a sexy minx, so why not fully embrace that in this naughty lace set.

Oftentimes ladies get new lingerie on Valentine's Day from a boyfriend, husband, or boy toy. But why wait for a man to get you what you want? This triangle shaped bra with matching panties are perfectly priced for the frugal fashionista at only $36 for the set. Delicate lace detailing with a contrasting black band combine to make this look sweet and spicy. I can just imagine wearing this and dancing around my apartment while I make sexy faces in the mirror. I don't need an audience. On second thought, if you're cute, witty, and happen to appreciate my silly dance moves, you're welcome to watch. But don't kill my vibe. So back to these lacey knickers, you know what to do...

Too Fly: Wings Burnout Sweatshirt

If you flip through my closet, you'll notice a plethora of grey. Heather grey short-sleeve shirts, grey v-necks, grey tanks, grey jeans. Slight obsession... yeah, maybe. And I'm about to add another piece to the shades of grey collection.

This grey burnout sweatshirt from Topshop is the business. Being the Phoenix that I am, I love anything with wings. The sweatshirt is super comfy and slightly oversized. Dress it down or dress it up. On Saturday afternoons, I'd put it with some boyfriend jeans and some kicks. When the night comes, a pair a wax denim, killer stilettos, and red lips will do the job. Hotness! If you want to get your wings, you know what to do...
