Left My Soul There [By The Sea]

Dec 23.10 / Lindsay

Today on Awakened Aesthetic, Jen posted about drawing inspiration from the sea – something that I always assumed I did inherently, involuntarily, and intrinsically as a product of a sailboat builder & racer, and an fierce lover of strange, underwater creatures – not to mention a loving daughter of the left coast. Jen got reminded [...]

Yes, Another One – ShoeAficionado.com

Sep 25.10 / Lindsay

I swore them off, I really did. I said to myself, “no more sample sale sites” – they’re a dime-a-dozen these days. Once people saw Gilt’s success, I started seeing invitations to new sites on the daily. Beyond the Rack, Rue La La, Enviius, Hautelook… It was out of control. NO MORE! And I was [...]

TJ Maxx & Marshalls: A Fall Preview of Off-Price

Aug 19.10 / 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! Hey all!  I’m fresh back from Boston, where I represented Broke & Beautiful at the TJ Maxx and Marshalls [...]

Young, Fabulous & Broke

Jun 21.10 / Lindsay

I remember the first time I saw this company’s name on ShopBop, and I knew that we would have some good times together. Their name aside, I always kind of frowned slightly at their pricing… I like things that cost under $100, and it has to be spectacular if I’m going to pay more than [...]

complexgeometries Lands at Revolve

May 19.10 / Lindsay

If you’re at all a fan of minimalism, un-basic basics, or fashion through motion, allow me to introduce you to complexgeometries. A favorite of many ultra-chic fashion writers, cg is a line to watch… but don’t take it at 2D value, you have to see it move to understand its complete perfection. The line has [...]

Curing Boredom: Vanessa Quijano

Jan 15.10 / Lindsay

There are lots of reasons that I don’t own more jewelry, but one of the main reasons is, well… Jewelry lovers, consider this fair warning: you’re not going to like what you’re about to hear. One of the reasons I don’t go gallivanting into the realm of accessories or jewelry is because I am so, [...]

JoJolie – A Different Kind of Sale

Nov 24.09 / Lindsay

Over the last 10 months, the internet-fashion world has been completely overrun with “sample sale” sites. …as we well know, because I fully support the idea! But, if you’ve seen the Event Calendar lately, you’ll get the impression either that a) I’m lazy, or b) there are so many sales on a weekly basis that [...]

They Love The Laces

Nov 23.09 / Lindsay

Sometimes, the OFC (omnipotent fashion consciousness) astounds me with its efficiency. If the OFC decided that something must be worn… By God, it will be worn. Take Fall 2009 shoes for example: Lace-up booties, anyone? All images: Net-A-Porter

Guess Who #2

Nov 18.09 / Lindsay

I’m really [surprised and] glad that the first Guess Who was so well-received! Thanks for all your comments & links & stuff, guys! This week, I’m going a little more conservative. Good for the holiday season around your family who still doesn’t appreciate a good 4″ ankle boot, or shorts with tights… I’m looking for [...]
