TMI Tuesday: Fake’n'Bake?
Jun 21.11 / Lindsay
We allllllll know how pale I am. Just click the outfit button at the top – white girl is white. So tell me, all of you olive-skinned-and-darker girls… What’s it like to get a tan? I wouldn’t know, of course, because I’ve never gotten one. Ever. I’ve never had a tan. This sensuous mix of [...]
TMI Tuesday: Cut-outs?
Jun 14.11 / Lindsay
This weekend, while researching for a post (and by researching, I of course mean shopping), I cruised through Lulu’s and noticed a large “SOLD OUT” sign over this dress: Please, God, someone explain this to me. Am I old? A curmudgeon? Tragically un-hip? I cannot, for the life of me, figure out which this dress [...]
TMI Tuesday: The Heat
May 24.11 / Lindsay
TMI Tuesday is the equivalent of Internet Girl Talk without the weird connotations and shrill giggles. Jen and I… we have lots of opinions. We are the types that will talk for 5 hours solid and not realize that we have skipped two meals and ingested 5 lattes. Therefore, we’d like to bring that kind [...]
FlatForms: Trendy, or a Tragedy?
Apr 27.11 / Jennifer Nicole
All of the fashion magazines have explained to me, ad nauseum, that “the seventies are back,” “the nineties are influencing fashion,” and that I’d better get on board. And then they tell me that this – this – is trending: Derek Lam Stacked Wedge Platform Pumps No. No, just no. NJN. These are part of [...]
My Beef with The Style Network
Feb 23.11 / Lindsay
Right now, I’m kitty-sitting. My Dad has shed his hard, rough, I Hate The Small And Furry shell and become a father yet again to two gigantic kittens cats. I have been summoned to watch them play, cuddle with them, and live in their house while my parents escape the impending snowstorm and charter [...]
How Do You Really Feel?
Nov 17.10 / Lindsay
There’s nothing wrong with being a little bold. Emphasis on a little bold. Over two years ago, I fell in love with my own little piece of boldness via Locher’s Kate Necklace – “A sparkling faceted dangling crystal, a brass spoon, a small glass vile with a white powdery substance in it.” Hee hee. It’s [...]
How to Give Clothing for Christmas
Nov 16.10 / Jennifer Nicole
I have grown to absolutely love holiday shopping. I buy my presents early, relishing the moment that I find the perfect, unique gift for someone I love. There’s a part of me that looks at myself, this avid holiday shopping woman, and thinks she’s absolutely insane. I used to dread those “hard to buy for” [...]
An Admission About Jeggings
Sep 24.10 / Jennifer Nicole
It’s Jen! Lindsay’s bestie, co-Demoiselle, and author of the socially-conscious fashion blog, Awakened Aesthetic. You might have noticed that our blogs are getting cuddly – I’ll remove this text after we get to know each other! I’m not sure how to begin this post. If you know me from The Demoiselles, you know that I [...]
Plannin’ & Dreamin’?
Sep 20.10 / Lindsay
We’re officially on the cusp of fall, so blogs everywhere are beginning to outline their plans for the new season. “I’m definitely going to accessories.” “It’s all about natural tones and gold.” “I’ll be wearing velvet and… tulle.” Or whatever. I hope no one does that, but you get what I mean. I always read [...]
You Smell Different
Jul 30.10 / Lindsay
It’s been brought to our attention over the last few years that smells can trigger memories better than almost all of our other senses. “When nothing else subsists from the past, after the people are dead, after the things are broken and scattered· the smell and taste of things remain poised a long time, …
