Kardashian Kopy Kat

February 19, 2016 by Tuyen Aarestad in Fashion

Whether you love them or hate them it's really hard to keep your eyes off them.  Not just cause every gossip mag and tabloid has a new story breaking on Kim's diet plans or Kourtney's heart break, but let's be real, they are just so fun to look at.  I know, I know, indulging in conversation over these overly saturated media whores is as vapid as an episode of Kourtney and Khloe take Miami, but you would be a liar if not at one point you envied Khloe's hair, Kylie's new lips, Kim's eye shadow or Kourtney's handbag.  Let's face it the Kardashian's as controversial as their fame may be, they rock the criticism and hatin'  while looking SOOOO good.  You have all heard me obsess over Khloe's mane, and if you are part of my inner circle you might have heard me discuss my game plan on achieving Kylie's filler regiment.  But what really gets me in a Google-searching, Pinterest-pinning frenzy is Keeping up with what these Kats are wearing!!!!!

UGHHHH this skinny bitch is all my body goals wrapped up in 5% body fat and the best stems ever. Not to mention she's a VS Angel which is like the only sorority I've ever wished to be a part of.  I loved the cropped shell look with the tapered pants but can't go to such skin bearing lengths thus I opted for this look instead.

Not sure what was going on with my purse but attempting a candid photo is taxing and stressful.

Khloe

Khloe in this Wes Gordon frock was everything I wanted for the Hubby's big four-zero bday party.  I wanted white and I wanted tight,  but I had a budget of $100 so there was no way I was gonna find this $1,500 number in my closet.  But alas, I found this!

Clearly I was not paparazzi ready nor sober, but can we just take notice that my white dress was unscathed from a red wine oopsy? I'll hold for applause...

  • White Bodycon Dress with belt- NaaNaa found here!
  • Orange Suede Pigalle Pumps- Christian Louboutin found here!
  • Purse - Chanel

Kim

Kimmy rocked this curve hugging number during her pre-Kanye wedding Paris Paparazzi parade.  I wanted this look IN THEORY.  I love the color palette, I love the slinky body suit, and I love a great pencil skirt.  My body, however is not bootylicious and I don't have the ability to rock such a majestic side boob.  So here was my loosely inspired Kim K look...

I attempted to take Tyra's advice and work my booty tooch, but to no avail.  Unfortunately this look doesn't evoke the "Dannnnng Girrrrrl!"  Mrs. West masters so well, but it made a great date night outfit.  BTW linen wrinkles like a bitch.

  • Rose Linen Pencil Skirt - Asos found here!
  • White Cotton Ballet Bodysuit - Asos found here!
  • Shoes- Manolo Blahnik similar here
  • Purse - Chanel

So there you have it.  I'm done with my guilt-free indulgent Kardashian rant and won't burden you or contribute any more commentary on the family.....well at least until I give Kylie and Kendall's new fashion line a go!

What We Wore...

November 10, 2015 by Tuyen Aarestad in Fashion, musings

We wives got the opportunity to broaden our cultural horizons and attend Art San Diego '15, A Spectrum Art Show, last Thursday. When VIP tix to the opening night presented themselves, we had to make an appearance with the hubbies.  After a few "VIP" blunders (aka having a nerd with a walkie-talkie explain that our "VIP" access wasn't the "VIP VIP" status and to stop trying to swipe free drink and food from the private patios) we steered our attention away from the forbidden fondue fountains and ice sculptures and instead brought our focus to the event and all it's glory. Who needs liquified cheese when we have access to row after row of art exhibits, crowds of great people watching, disgusting expensive chardonnay and our hangry husbands in tow?

As much as I would like to describe the art exhibits and discuss our favorite expressions of pointillist art, I have no idea what that even means nor do I know anything about cubism or neo-dada.  Thus, lets focus on what was most important to us....
