Pinterest: We’re Late To The Party, As Usual

May 14.12 / Lindsay

So, we got into Pinterest like way after everyone knew how cool it was. Now that we’re there, we’re trying to get ultra excited about all of the cool stuff, but everyone’s so passe about it that we only have one outlet to wax on and on about how cool we think Pinterest is and that’s you guys. [...]

How To Wear Neon (According To Internet Fashion Hivemind)

May 03.12 / Lindsay

Whenever I’m not sure how to wear something, I either tap it into Google’s megabrain, or head straight to Lookbook.nu, where 9 out of 10 times, I will get the answers, satisfaction, and eye candy I need to get me through the day. I’m interested in neon, but not sure if it’s something that fits into [...]

Winter Rouge

Dec 12.11 / Lindsay

I associate winter with cool pastels and lighter tones… Especially when mixed with inky blacks and deep rouge!

Inspired By: Summer Style

Jul 25.11 / Lindsay

Some of you might know (especially if you follow us on Facebook) that I am a blog fanatic. Not only do Jen and I collectively run five websites, but I personally follow (and stay up to date with) over 300 style blogs. Endless inspiration, beautiful imagery, and fashion pornography are only a few of the benefits [...]

Leaping the Bull

Mar 16.11 / Jennifer Nicole

Power. I’ve been thinking about it a lot lately: who has it, what it means, why it matters. I’ve been thinking about all the kinds of power there are in the world and, when forceful push comes to mighty shove, which kinds of power truly matter…to me, anyway. One of the most powerful images I [...]

Guest Post: Connections

Feb 10.11 / Lindsay

This is a guest post [of sorts] by the wonderful blogger who runs one of my favorite haunts, Amateur Couture. She digs up inspirational, highly aesthetic photos, art, and images and finds beautiful, uncanny representations of them in the fashion world. Because I’m a superfan, I asked if she would send over a few of [...]

Subliminal Messaging

Jan 06.11 / Lindsay

I don’t often think this, but for the convenience of this intro, and therefore this post, I’m going to pretend: I often wonder about the origins of a person’s personal style – mine included. There are so many opportunities, especially in this age, for children to be swayed and influenced. Media, of course (as if [...]

Blowing Smoke

Dec 28.10 / Jennifer Nicole

For those who don’t know, during the day I (Jen) work at an office.  The dress code is business casual, which means half the employees wear suits, a quarter wear jeans, and the rest wear something in between. I, of course, don olive green tights, satin dresses and two-toned oxfords.  Typical workday wear.  Obviously. But [...]

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 [...]

Girl Crush: Leigh Lezark

May 18.10 / Lindsay

Warning: This is going to be a major picture overload in about two inches. I’ve been in love with Leigh Lezark since I first saw her pop up in the front row of New York Fashion Week. She and I share a penchant for a monotone color palette, both enjoy being extremely pale, and… Well, [...]
