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. [...]

My Obsession: Draped Dresses for Under $150

Jul 08.11 / Jennifer Nicole

Good morning, Friday. This dress. This draped, flowing dress…can you imagine the way it moves? The way it feels on skin? Because that’s all we can do – imagine. This stunning perfection, made by Donna Karan and available at Net-A-Porter, is $3,295. I love draped dresses in general, though. They’re flattering for absolutely every occasion: [...]

Let Lizards Eat Cake

Jun 01.11 / Jennifer Nicole

Sometimes I am taken by the care a fashion designer takes, not just with their wears, but with the photography they use to showcase them. So it is with VariousLoveAffairs.com, which I found through Smashing Darling, a site that Lindsay and I used to be addicted to but recently realized we have been neglecting. Poor [...]

Welcome To Summer

May 30.11 / Lindsay

The only two ways I know that summer is coming are: a) it’s Memorial Day and that usually means that the end of May is here, and b) it’s been in the low-to-mid 60′s in Seattle. Without those two facts, I’d be pretty screwed. That being said, I have some big plans for summer, sartorially. [...]

Dress-Less: All Alloy Dresses 25% Off

May 02.11 / Jennifer Nicole

I just realized how predictable Lindsay and I truly are. Every time we go shopping together, it’s guaranteed that we’ll each be looking for, by and large, two things: something we need – either because the season is changing, our other one broke, or we just have this craving – and shoes. (We’re always looking [...]

FlatForms: Trendy, or a Tragedy?

Apr 27.11 / Jennifer Nicole

All of the fashion magazines have explained to me, ad nauseum, that “the seventies are back,” “the nineties are influencing fashion,” and that I’d better get on board. And then they tell me that this – this – is trending: Derek Lam Stacked Wedge Platform Pumps No. No, just no. NJN. These are part of [...]

The Beautiful Things

Apr 05.11 / Jennifer Nicole

Last night, Reverse sent me an email notifying me of their huge sale: 40-95% off over 500 styles, in tons of sizes. I’m a good little consumer, and often only look for things I already know I need (or really, really want) but last night, I was inspired to …

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 [...]

Americana

Mar 09.11 / Jennifer Nicole

With all of the recent political insanity – an economy underwater, those who drowned it as yet unpunished, many states taking away their workers’ union rights (see Wisconsin, Ohio), and women’s rights yet again under fire (with presidential candidates comparing abortion to slavery), it’s hard to be a patriotic American these days. We seem to [...]

The Streets

Feb 11.11 / Lindsay

The Streets captures style from around the globe, and before now, Seattle was sadly left off the map by most street style blogs. Jennifer Nicole and I are proud to rep’ our city as best we can, from week to week. Our first installment only has three beauties to report, but we blame it on [...]
