My Preferred Short Length is…? [POLL]

May 18.12 / Lindsay

Now that we’ve shown you cheap shorts in times of desperation, I have a short(s)-related-question for you… There is much debate among the, well, entire world about the best length for shorts. Which shouldn’t surprise anyone as it’s something we like to call a “personal preference,” but alas, some seem to be unable to grasp the [...]

Going From Okay to Awesome

Jul 06.11 / Jennifer Nicole

I felt okay when I woke up this morning. Okay. Just…okay. I prefer to feel awesome. Don’t you? Usually, when I awaken to a less than stellar self image, my closet can correct the error: I have a “go-to” item of clothing that always makes me feel good, no matter what my body’s doing or [...]

Video: Awesome? Crappy? Both?

Jan 29.11 / Lindsay

We are playing with some projects for the future, Jen and I. They’re pretty secret. Really secret, actually. But, we’re having a disagreement. About video. Jen says that when she sees a video in a blog post, she typically scans right past it. Doesn’t stop to watch, just bypasses. I, on the other hand (hi, [...]

B&B Poll: Give It To Me Straight

Nov 18.10 / Lindsay

As we get ever-closer to Broke & Beautiful’s third fourth third birthday (wow, I know, I can barely keep track), I figure it’s a perfect time to get some feedback from you guys on what you’re seeing here. This year has been pretty big! We added Jennifer Nicole to the list of authors, and united [...]

Skinnies + Wedges?

Sep 22.09 / Lindsay

So Jen and I were having a conversation today. It lasted about four minutes, but the main discussion point was: Are skinny jeans/pants and wedges at war? Are they supposed to be together, or do they look weird? In my experience – they look weird. Almost always. The wedge just makes your legs look like [...]

It’s Time For a New LBD

Mar 20.09 / Lindsay

I’m aware that spring is coming and the time is now for flirty florals and peaches and all that crap… But I have an emergency on my hands: My LBD is totally gross. It honestly might as well be covered in sludge and ripped into shreds. The material (polyester, I know) is eager to absorb [...]

How Do You Like Your Product Photos?

Feb 28.09 / Lindsay

Sitting at home alone on a Saturday night (hey, it’s by choice…?) makes you think about some interesting things. “Do octopodi get sore?” “Does the girl across the hall worship Satan?” “How does the skin of an onion get so papery?” “Why can’t my refrigerator refill itself?” Then I came across a question that not [...]

I Think I Have a Shopping Addiction

Feb 26.09 / Lindsay

Seriously. I think I have a shopping addiction… But it’s not like the contemporary “shopping addiction” where I max out everyone and their Mom’s credit cards until the sky comes falling down around me and my chihuahua is seized by the government, no. My shopping addiction is a little more simplified than that. I am [...]

You Feel ___ About Wedge Boots

Feb 15.09 / Lindsay

When I’ve asked friends and fashionistas alike about their opinion on wedges, I often get a snarl of disgust and occasional recoil. The most common complaint is that “wedges make your feel look clunky/huge/big/whatever”. On the flipside, I also hear the rare-but-appreciated praise regarding their comfort, support, and sometimes even aesthetic appeal. I’ve written a [...]

The “Boyfriend Jean” – Are you into it?

Feb 12.09 / Lindsay

Oh wow, could we possibly hear any more gab about this boyfriend jean craze?! If you’re looking to point fingers, I personally suggest Katie Holmes for making this denim idea into a worldwide fuss. Baggy, torn, rolled, low, faded… All the qualties of “boyfriend jeans.” Personally, I resent the title – “boyfriend jeans”. If I [...]
