2011: Reflection of Style

Dec 30.11 / Lindsay

This year was definitely a hedonistic venture, in terms of fashion, for both Jen and me. Jen discovered an immense love of huge, ass-kicking boots, and I stumbled upon a hidden love of bright lipstick and top knots. Among our new discoveries were old favorites and classic standbies – winged eyeliner, skinny jeans and copious [...]


Personal Style: Compilations

Nov 04.11 / Jennifer Nicole ...

When cold weather hits I get a one-track mind: warm and dry. More often than not that translates into tailored wool jackets, artful layers and fur-lined boots, but sometimes it becomes a mess of sweaters and whatever keeps my feet dry. The latter happened a lot this week, so I ran to Polyvore for a [...]


I’m Wearing: Secret Weapons

Aug 24.11 / Lindsay

I have a lot of clothes – trust me. Like Jen, you might see me recycle the same [ahem, amazing] pieces over and over in posts, but truly… I have at least 750% as many clothes as you’ve seen. Some, I’m not proud of. They’re basic, boring, and generally pieces that will either migrate to [...]


I’m Wearing: Don’t Touch Me

Aug 17.11 / Lindsay

That was my mantra while getting dressed this morning: Don’t touch me. After recent sunburns and this little, Seattle-sized heat wave (ooooh, it’s the mid-80s!), I’m sick of wearing things that touch me. Confining, form-fitting, slimming – get away! I am interested in stylishly slouching my way through the day.   I have what my [...]


I’m Wearing: For the Birds

Aug 15.11 / Jennifer Nicole

Last week, we posted a little preview of today’s outfit post on Facebook, in the form of my tights. They’re ostrich-patterned, or so I was told, and apparently, they’re also love-’em-or-hate-’em. Baileymarie says “kind of loves them,” while Liz thinks they look like “cellulite under a microscope.” Oh my. PS: This is the last time [...]


I’m Wearing: Fall In The Street

Aug 10.11 / Lindsay

Ooooh, no. Unfortunately, you will not see me falling in the street in this post. I have tricked you. I do not feel bad. (Hey, you’re the one who wanted to see me injure myself.) (I’d laugh, too, it’s ok.) August in Seattle is not like August in other places. In Seattle, we start transitioning [...]


I’m Wearing: Red Leopard

Aug 02.11 / Jennifer Nicole

…Rawr? I’ve been trying to disassociate the idea of leopard print with my memory of bad outfits from the late eighties, with their garish colors, synthetic fabrics and wide, coke-altered eyes. If I really think about it, the reason I ran screaming from animal print wasn’t the eighties: it was the gaudy, self-esteem deprived women [...]


I’m Wearing: Wedding Weeds

Jul 25.11 / Jennifer Nicole

When Lindsay and I get together to take photos of our outfits, it’s an all-day event. We like finding those perfectly hidden, often overlooked locations, then spreading out our tote bags and purses and lip gloss and shoes (…so many pairs of shoes…), claiming the area as our own before shaking off that camera-shy feeling [...]


WYW: An All-White Dress?

Jul 21.11 / Jennifer Nicole

My answer is already “yes, yes, please buy me one, yes,” but I think I’m biased. I love the idea of an all-white day dress, and seeing them in the display windows of the downtown Seattle H&M and on other bloggers makes me do a little white-dress dance. It’s like a rain dance, but better. [...]


I’m Wearing: Big Black Boots Sans Old Suitcase

Jun 24.11 / Lindsay

I’m pretending so hard that it’s nice out. I’m really trying! That being said, I still bring a cardigan or coat with me wherever I go. It’d be a different story if, when it rained, it was like the midwest or southeast, where the rain is beautiful and warm, and hardly feels like rain at [...]
