What to wear for your big birthday? Hmm. Well, while everywhere holds their breath to see how the futurism shown on the spring runways will be translated and “dumbed-down” at the retail level, why not get a head start with this cyber-friendly sack dress from ShopBop (www.shopbop.com)? I mean, it’s sci-fi, Joan of Arc warrior-esque, and minimalist all at once – how many dresses hit on that many major trends in one shot without endowing a Paris Hilton stigma upon its wearer?
As for shoes, if you thought we took footwear to its maximum peak, vertically speaking, before, spring’s footwear is taller and sexier. These Pierre Hardy platforms (www.pierehardy.com) are sex incarnate – and probably good enough to be worn solely with your actual Birthday suit – but why not make a few extra fans the night of your big day? Expensive? You bet. But it’s your birthday, goddamit!
For accessories, go with a simple black clutch and long, super straight hair (thanks to a good flat iron) for that Sinha-Stanic-ready look. Screw crying! It’s your birthday and you can – and should – look damn great if you want to!



Pierre Hardy makes some shoes that just makes a girl’s heart skip.
i love.
