Mani-Pedi Tip: Pretty Pedicures…While Hiking

Jul 05.11 / Jennifer Nicole

As Lindsay and I were getting our matching mani-pedis last Thursday, she surmised that hers was worth the money because “I won’t be wearing shoes all weekend.” (Someone spent the fourth barefoot on an island – jealous much?) I surmised, a bit sadly, that I don’t think things through. My plans for the weekend? Hiking [...]

July Challenge: Mani-Pedi

Jul 01.11 / Lindsay

When life throws me signs, I try to pay attention. Not that every pattern is a sign, but sometimes, they’re undeniable. In the last 6 years, I have had two pedicures and a manicure – both within the last two months. I know, right? This is a potential addiction and, man, those can move pretty quickly [...]

How To Add Pockets to ANYTHING!

Jun 16.11 / Lindsay

You know how much we love pockets around here. On the cutting room floor after every video is reels of Jen and me putting our hands into millions of pockets, all over Seattle boutiques. We love pockets. I made a pact with myself in 6th grade that I would never wear a purse (I was [...]

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” [...]

Incorporating Orange

Apr 08.09 / Lindsay

After the ColorPlay: Orange and Black and White post last week, I got a lot of responses similar to this: “OMG ORANGE?! So bright and so scary, scary!” Well, not exactly like that, but the fear was definitely apparent. So I thought a nice companion to that post would be a “How the hell do [...]

Let it Shine!

Jul 25.08 / Lindsay

This little light of mine? No!I mean… If you have a little light, you certainly ought to let it shine, but this is all beside the point! I’m talking about statement pieces paired with basics. I love, love, love to wear really eye-catching pieces, but I have to be very careful not to over-busy my [...]

How To Literally ROCK a Babydoll Dress

Jul 09.08 / Lindsay

Babydoll dresses are a delicate arena of fashion… You don’t want to look pregnant, you don’t want to look naked and you especially don’t want to look 5 years old. The key to babydoll dresses is balance: spicy and sweet, edgy and soft, etc. Babydoll dresses are best served fairytale-esque, so don’t skimp on the [...]

How to wear Color Blocked Dresses

May 02.08 / Lindsay

Color-blocked dresses have been a trend that’s got some serious adhesive. It’s been around since late last summer, and doesn’t seem to be going anywhere anytime soon. A color-blocked dress is a garment that has at least two bold, separated colors. It doesn’t matter how they’re separated as long as there’s no pattern, blending, or [...]

Feminine Masque-ulinity

Mar 10.08 / Lindsay

My older sister and I waaay back when… History in the making! Though I have obvious beauty clairvoyance, even back in the 80′s, I’m still searching and searching for the best skincare products that aren’t $80 for a 1 oz. jar… But my most recent obsessions are facial masques. There are few things in this [...]
