Want: Teal & Grey Leather Grab Clutch

May 08.12 / Lindsay

I am an unabashed lover of this style of clutch. Floppy, simple, and with that clever wrist/hand strap that offers some extra security when you’re literally toting the damn thing around all night/day. This leather model is particularly saucy as I love the teal & grey combination (though it does come in a vibrant fuchsia/brown combo which is [...]

Trading For A Classic: Satchels

Nov 15.11 / Lindsay

Several weeks ago, I was allowed to bask in the glow of the new ZARA.com US store, and even pick a few items out for myself. After about three days of absolute anxiety over which of the 57 things on my wishlist I wanted to purchase, I settled on a theme: classics. I bought a [...]

Oct 04.11 / Lindsay

For those of you who don’t subscribe to The Broken Record (our newsletter!), you may not know that your are currently in the midst of an awesome giveaway! The Broken Record has been around for 10 issues now (!!!) and never really got the Welcome Party it deserved… So, like a crappy ex, we’re scrambling [...]

Get Your Bag On: Mapel’s 40% Off Handbag Sale!

May 12.11 / Lindsay

Sometimes, when you’re least expecting it, amazing sales just jump right out of the internet and bite you. This is a phenomenon that I am completely comfortable with and highly advocate. Today’s “biter” was from Pacific NW indie boutique, Mapel (who we’ve only written about, oh, 496 times due to their fabulously edited inventory), and [...]

You Need More STRUCTURE!

Apr 28.11 / Lindsay

As someone who has next-to-no discipline, and has been happy to blaze their own (sometimes ineffective) trails, I’ve heard this phrase a lot. You need more structure! Before, I have scoffed at such notions, but now… I think I see what they were talking about. It seriously couldn’t have been the fact that I threw [...]

The “Modern Younger Sibling”: MATT by Matt & Nat

Sep 02.10 / 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! In the past year, I’ve mentioned vegan leather designer Matt & Nat on Awakened Aesthetic a total of eleven [...]

Obsession Overload: 30% Off at Tobi.com

Jul 28.10 / Jennifer Nicole

It’s Jen again!  Eventually, Lindsay and I will create obnoxious headers for each other’s sites so you know the difference.  Until then…deal with it.  You don’t know this about me yet, but you soon will: I’m kind of obsessed with Tobi.com. They have an entire section dedicated to eco-friendly designers and products, their customer [...]

Wish List Update: The Perfect Bag

Jan 07.10 / Lindsay

I know, it’s been all of five minutes since I posted about my Official Wish List (capitals necessary). Honestly, I’ve been compiling that wish list for months (literally, it’s been a major concern here at the B&B B&B) and finally got the decisive energy to buy a bag that had been on my Amazon wish [...]

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 [...]
