Demandez votre K : Comment obtenir votre plus petite taille

18.Sep.2007, 10:48 AM

Agent Provocateur CincherJ'avais recherché un corset. Pour ne pas porter dans ces recommander fous de porter la lingerie sans valeur autour de la maison mais de porter réellement le journal, comme de vrais vêtements de dessous (lus comme : ainsi il pas exposition) et cela qu'il serre vraiment vers le haut, une La Dita von Teese (bien, aucune obstruction sur votre latte de soja, svp). Obtenez ma dérive ? Des idées sur où l'obtenir ? Je suis dans NYC. Je l'essayerais plutôt dehors d'abord, quoique je sois une taille 4, je me suis développé intoxiqué à avoir la taille la plus minuscule. Thanx, Kristopher !
Ya de Luv !
Emma

Et luvz d'I vous, quoique vous impliquiez là est quelque chose de étrange au sujet de porter la lingerie sans valeur autour de la maison. Je considérerai mettre sur quelques vrais vêtements pour travailler dedans, mais avant que je, trouvons-toi votre sablier plus minuscule (qui est une manière beaucoup plus digne de perdre notre temps que sur des charités).

L'agent Provocateur fait un cincher chic c'est assez deuxième-peau à glisser sous votre plus petite assez robe noire quand vous allez à travailler-obcène cligner de l'oeil-et patron pour ceinturer un buttondown- vierge-blanc

Vous devez persuader Jésus de pardonner vos péchés de façon ou d'autre, et le type a accroché avec des talonneurs.

XXXO,

It’d be obvious to rock your fur boots with some second-skin pants and a tunic, but–

You’re not obvious. So check this boss little red dress by Karen Zambo Vintage Couture ($330). Neither vintage nor couture, it’s a simple shift in a red, sunset print, and the fresh frock will style cheeky chic against your furry boots, without being overly gimmicky.

Unlike this punch line.

Ask Your K: Metallic Rupert Sanderson Shoes for a Gold Dress?

30.Aug.2007, 09:24 am

Rupert Sanderson ShoesDear Kristopher motherfucking Dukes,
I have a fashion question and I thought I should ask you. Why? Because you rock so hard you make men pee in their suits. I have a matte gold dress with satin accents, deep V-neck, open back that ties at the back neck and hits mid-calf… My question: what fucking heels to rock? The thought of only gold makes me think cheese, and black is horrid.
Jax

Because you used the gosh darn “F” word as often as I do when I’m feeling romantic–with myself, likely–, I’m charmed to solve your fashion dilemma.

Gold heels would be B(eyonce)-grade cheese, you’re right. So slip on a pair of metallic heels that glimmer between platinum and gold, like these metallic Rupert Sanderson shoes. Thin straps keep the shine light so your dress and hot bod are upgraded, not upstaged. Total first date shoes, the heels are sweet sans vibing saccharine, they’re–

Motherfucking boss, right?

XXXO,
K

Ask Your K: When Can I Rock Fall Fashions?

20.Aug.2007, 02:25 pm

Jay Ahr dressI’ve been shopping for fall 2007 since the July ended, and I can’t wait to rock my new clothes. Besides waiting for the weather to chill, when’s it right to start wearing my new fall wardrobe?

When it comes to first date S-E-X, to sipping champagne poured for cliche toasts, to boss designer duds waiting in your wardrobe, I wonder—

Why wait?

Life is short.

And your fall skirts should be, too.

Ask Your K: Giuseppe Zanotti Shoes and What Dress?

16.Aug.2007, 10:43 am

giuseppe zanotti shoesI need your advice. I want to find the best dress to match my fabulous shoes. It is a leopard-skin and red patent leather Guiseppe Zanotti shoe. Suggestions on the type of dress to showcase the shoe?
- Raysa

Your boss Giuseppe Zanotti shoes say it all: sex isn’t dirty or mushy.

Sex is sharp like a 4¼” stiletto, rough like leopard-print ponyskin, sex should be ambitiously arched, and–

It’ll cost you.

Just like this jersey turtleneck Bi La Li dress. A slightly second-skin cover-up set off by an open back, like your Giuseppe Zanotti shoes, the shift says you’re a freak on the streets and a lady between the sheets.

Wait, scratch that, reverse it.

Then bend it over backwards.

Ask Your K: Cameron Diaz’s Peep Toe Boots, In Her Shoes

20.Jul.2007, 11:25 am

Givenchy open toe boots from In Her shoes Cameron DiazHi! I was wondering if you knew of any open-toe boots? I totally fell in love with the ones from the movie In Her Shoes. (Cameron Diaz’s character wears a kick-ass pair in the scene were she gets kicked out of her sister’s house.) Do you know who the designer is by any chance? I was thinking they could be Louboutin. Not sure… Please help!

Thank you :)
Galaxie

The closest I could find to Cameron Diaz’s peep-toe boots in In Her Shoes are these Givenchy open-toe boots

But these open-toe boots are sold out on Zappos Couture.

Your other options, lovely? A thickly T-strapped Gucci sandal ($382), Faith’s open-toe boots (£45/$92), or–

Figuring out how to turn Tom Ford straight, because, though my name is Kristopher and I like boys, I don’t think his sexual orientation moons around me.

How will that help you get Cameron Diaz’s open-toe boots? Not sure.

K

Ask Your K: Victoria Beckham’s Sneaker Wedges, by Dries van Noten

19.Jul.2007, 09:38 am

Dolce & Gabbana shoes instead of victoria beckham wedge sneakersHello love,

I am searching for a pair of heels like what Victoria Beckham wore when throwing the first pitch at the Dogers game (Victoria Beckham: Coming to America).

Any suggestions?

xoxo,
Karina

Yes.

Say thanks to the gods at Brown’s e-boutique: Victoria Beckham’s $600 Dries van Noten sneaker wedges are sold out. But, though I’m fashion nazi in my uniform of flapper frocks, piles of black eyeshadow, and hooker heels, if you dig something and it flatters your hot bod, rock it. So scour eBay for Posh’s Dries van Noten sneaker wedges, or–

Invest your Bennies in lace-up Dolce & Gabbana shoes instead.

Ask Your K: A Padded Victoria’s Secret Swimsuit?

17.Jul.2007, 08:52 am

Victorias secret swimwearHi, Kristopher,
1st of all, I love your website. 2ndly, I just want to ask: I’m chubby with small boobs. How do I boob-ify myself in a swim suit? (Without the product slipping out while swimming. Haha).

Thanks, *kisses*
G

You may want to pump up and pimp out your fav suit, but skip risking LaLohan-worthy slips and buy a padded swimsuit instead.

Forget a string bikini: I’m no prude, but walking nearly naked in public is bad business. Your hot body at least ought to cost a nice dinner.

I mean it should be saved for that special someone, that love of your life.

Like yourself.

So check this Victoria’s Secret tankini: navy is sleeky chic, and the top is fully lined with a push-up, padded Miracle Bra®.

Ask Your K: Lotta Stensson Dress, So Forget the LBD

05.Jul.2007, 11:52 am

Lotta Stensson dress
I’m going to my niece’s sweet sixteen next week and I don’t know what to wear! and I don’t wanna look like everybody else with their LBDs. I’m 25 and a size 6. I also have a big chest (which is why its hard to find the perfect dress). Please help!

Thanks.

Thank you for styling different, lovely.

Some ladies think it too obvious to rock a low-cut dress if you’re rigged for it.

I say play up your best features. You’ve got legs 12 miles long? Rock a dress cut up to your crotch. You’ve got a Coke bottle figure? Keep doing that wasp-y waist silhouette, whether or not Kate Moss scrapped the look.

And you’ve got knockers? Check this Lotta Stensson dress. A classic cocktail dress, a deep V-neck is balanced by its being in chocolate brown, which is set off with a heart-strapped sash, which–

Will have you giving ScarJo a run for what makes her money.

Ask Your K: Michael Kors Swim Wear for the 4th

03.Jul.2007, 08:41 am

michael kors swim wearMiss K:

I’m looking for a bathing suit for the 4th of July that’s cheeky chic but really sexy. Something different from the usual black bikini I wear all the time. Any suggestions?

Love,
Tila

You might have noted the retro one-pieces swimming ’round this summer. And swim gear coyly celebrating womenswear of half a century ago is way cute.

Like a burka.

So stray from the modestly dressed siren song of those who say enjoying your body is sinful, and celebrate your hourglass with a tiger-print Michael Kors bikini. The smart design of Michael Kors’ swim wear leaps through gold hoops, keeping Michael Kors’ bikini boss instead of only obvious S-E-X. And the bikini was $450, it’s now $315 at Vivre.

Yep, “was,” as in past tense, as in, “Swim wear that covers more than what a freakum dress would was chic.

“Before your mom was born.”

Ask Your K: Coco de Mer Lingerie for the Man Candy

02.Jul.2007, 08:56 am

drawstring coco de mer bra
To the fab K.D.:

Now, I’m a glam girl with a pretty together style — I like my tops tight and my skirts swingy –, I’ve got a shoe collection that any fashionista would be proud of, and I’ve got a fabulous bunch of top-notch accesories thanks to my rich, generous, and beautiful man-candy (whose mother has excellent taste), but I’ve been wondering what kind of lingerie you’d recommend to go underneath all this glitz and glam. My man-candy has to have his reward, after all. I’m thinking retro sexy, of a size to fit a 32C. What do you say?

Much love from Dot

I say your toyfriend’s a lucky dude, and I’ll assume he deserves you, which means he’s earned checking you in this drawstring Coco de Mer bra. Let it peekaboo beneath a white wifebeater, wear it alone for p.m. play, either way the peach silk is delish melting into your skin–

Which he can enjoy more of with a tug of the drawstring.

XXXO,
K

Ask Your K: Roberto Cavalli Bracelet Charms Everyday Style

26.Jun.2007, 08:42 am

roberto cavalli charm bracelet
Hey, Kristopher, it’s Frapp again. I’ve been thinking lately that my everyday style has been looking a little bland, and I was wondering how to spice it up a bit. Just any tips on hairstyles, make-up or clothes would help (though keeping in mind my school has a uniform!)
Love as always x

And I love you always, lovely.

So here’s our blueprint for boss: though we’re not all Karl Lagerfield, we don’t need an iconic look to be recognized throughout decades of posing with whatever (sh)It girl’ll keep us in the press–

Something trademark about your style, some regular feature can keep your everyday fresh. I’ve a uniform of smoky eyes, too-tall heels, and a “K” necklace, but you don’t need so full a costume. Think Vogue queen Anna Wintour’s bob, think Nicole Richie’s glammy glasses, think–

Maybe a signature as simple as always rocking a charm bracelet, like Roberto Cavalli’s bracelet.

Ask Your K: What to Rock with Short Shorts

19.Jun.2007, 10:03 am

fendi shoesHey Kristopher,
I’m kind of stuck in between a rock and a hard place, I have some cuffed pinstriped shorts that look like this, except they’re black, not white. Well, the problem is I have no idea what to wear with them, I thought about a plain white V-neck T, but that’s just too BORING! for me.

THANKS!
Alex

Black booty shorts are the new black leggings–

Only I like them.

So rock your boss short shorts with a baby doll, baby doll, that’s just an inch too short to wear alone.

Slip on Anthropologie’s white lace tunic ($268) and leopard T-strap Fendi sandals ($392). Accessorize with a iced green tea soy latte on one hand, and a Dorothy Perkins crayon green clutch bag ($9) in the other.

French kisses,
K

Ask Your K: Nude Heels and Metallic Dresses Out?

18.Jun.2007, 08:25 am

davis by ruthie davis shoesKristopher,
I’m in complete adoration of your presentation and prose, just so you know. But on to the real dilemma(s): the two top trends, metallic and patent.

Having just invested in black patent mary janes (don’t fret, not Monsieur YSL, but an investment nonetheless), I told myself I’d be a classic lady for the rest of the season. However, I’m now coveting this little silver number, which would seem perfect for my 21st in, oh, 11 months time. Will metallic have been banished in a year? And are the patent nude platforms I’m eying to match an equally ill-advised impulse? You can’t blame a girl for trying to get organised…

Thanking you graciously in advance,
Sarah xxx.

Forgive me for getting my Oprah on–while I’m a fashion nazi in my uniform of flapper frocks, smoked-out eyes, and too-tall heels, I say rock whatever you love that loves your hot little bod back.

Metallics swing in and out of that five-minute window of “in”–but buy gorgeous, buy true to your style, and you’ll always vibe boss in it. The Marc-y Marc by Marc Jacobs dress you picked is way cheeky chic, only, as usual, dude goes Taliban and covers up a woman’s S-E-X. But if you love it, buy it, and–

Consider having a tailor scrap the sleeves and 2-3 inches of skirt. Or check these alternatives: this gold sequined Nicole Miller dress ($199) would make a great tank over tailored gray slacks post-party, and this modern mod shimmery Poleci dress ($480) is a fresh classic.

You’re on the money with nude heels for a metallic dress. And while nude heels also go in and out of Vogue, they’re really quite classic.

And stretch your legs long.

I’m eying DAVIS by Ruthie Davis’s T-straps. 4½” tall, 50% off.

Ask Your K: Sergio Rossi Shoes with Your Vintage

05.Jun.2007, 08:43 am

sergio rossi shoesI’m attending a mini-fashion show in June. I’ve already bought a grey halter dress, but I need ideas on shoes and maybe a clutch. What other accessories can I include to give me that classy look and keep to the dress code: vintage without looking overboard?

Xoxo,
Raquel

Even though you didn’t sign off XXX, I’ll help you doll up, doll.

To keep your vintage vibing fresh retro instead of stale costume, your base is buying timeless pieces–little black dresses, ’50s pencil skirts, ’60s A-lines–and accessorizing with modern shapes.

So skip on rocking your frock with platform peeptoes, and keep clean with wood-grain suede Sergio Rossi shoes ($560).
