Pajamas just give and give and yet they get no respect. Wear them out of the house and people call you “weird.” Wear them to a party and someone erroneously threatens to have you “committed.” It’s BS and we’re sick of it. Not only are pajamas far and away the most comfortable type of clothing, they can also be rather cute. So, in homage to the most underrated clothing items in the world (that we’d personally like to be wearing all the time come to think of it), a pajama slideshow.
Notice that this nightie looks more or less like a dress. Throw a sweater on over that for a trip to the store and cut anyone who questions you. [$58, Anne Pinkerton, Anthropologie]
The holiday season is upon us. Which means the stores are stocked with those oh-so-convenient gift boxes—the easy cop-out when you can’t put something better together yourself. Beauty gift boxes can be great ... but they can also send the wrong message. Make sure you don’t fall into these holiday traps.
Christmastime tends to bring a bevy of traditional scents, which are delicious in cakes, cookies, and alcoholic beverages. No one wants to bathe in eggnog. [$16, Philosophy, Sephora.com]
Instead, try something that embodies the sweet spirit and works well at the same time, like Fresh’s wonderful sugar scrub products. [$75, Fresh, Barneys.com]
No, Kevin Federline is not pregnant—he’s just put on some weight in an unfortunate area. But the rumor around the baby mill is that K-Fed’s new girlfriend, Victoria Prince, is indeed preggers. Hmmm … let’s do the math here: he has two kids with Shar Jackson, two kids with Brit, and another one on the way. That works out to five kids with three baby mammas. This equation can mean only one thing: K-Fed likes to spread his seed. And what a glorious seed it is. But he’s not the only notorious celebrity dad. After the jump, some more celeb dads with multiple baby mamas. Warning: do not let any of these men inseminate you. [Celebitchy]
With 2010 fast approaching, we’ve resolved to spruce up the ol’ pad, and what better way to do that than add a little “wow” to our walls? Click through for calendars that double as wall candy.
This retro New York calendar, clad with vintage pictures from the Cavallini archives, will add an eclectic touch of old New York glamour to your place no matter what city you live in. [$21.95, Anthropologie]
The holidays are upon us. And they’re not just great because Thanksgiving is little more than an excuse to stuff your face in the company of people you like and Christmas and Hanukkah mean gifts, but also because the parties leading up to them require pretty dresses. No other type of clothing is as fun as a party dress; we are full-on thrilled to start shopping for them.
This one is a lovely little thing that stops just short of being too cutesy. [$25, Forever21]
Pop quiz: Which celeb rocked her sequined dress better? We love you, Eva, but that gown looks like it walked off the set of “Tootsie.” We do love how Diane Kruger‘s shimmery blue outfit has an interesting and feminine structure though. Lots of stars have been dressing in sequins lately, which is a sign that the season of holiday parties is drawing near. You can absolutely go for the glitz. After the jump, our advice on what to choose and what to really, really avoid.
My eyesight’s too good for me to need glasses, but I’ve often toyed with wearing a pair because they’re such a smart-looking accessory. I don’t want to feel like a fraud in prescription-less frames (and no offense to those who need them), but that doesn’t mean I can’t wear another type of eye-correction equipment. Since, for the most part, the only ones still using monocles for their intended purpose are cartoonish characters like Mr. Peanut, I won’t feel like a poser stringing one around my neck. And, if my eyesight does disintegrate, I guess I’ll be prepared.
Lady Gaga, you have arrived. Like Beyonce’s “Single Ladies,” Gaga’s “Poker Face” has become so wildly popular that even Christopher Walken has jumped on board covering it. This tribute does make us feel slightly uncomfortable and we hope Walken sticks to acting. But admit it, when Gaga busts out this song in the club, you can’t help but dance. After the jump, a few more amazing odes.
This morning we showed you the new 50 Cent ad where he’s so airbrushed his shirt doesn’t even have wrinkles. Touched up beyond recognition, he looks more like a robot than a rapper. But 50, hip hop is supposed to keep it real! And we shorties go crazy for silver-tongued MCs who have bodies even harder than their rhymes.
While denim has long since moved beyond weekend wear, skinny jeans are usually our go-to cut when we want to dress up. Stella McCartney demonstrates how wide-leg jeans cut like trousers (hers even have a crease down the front) can look totally pulled-together, especially when worn with a blouse, blazer and heels. Click through for eight pairs of loose-but-not-sloppy jeans.
