Oh Crap, I Need Some Shorts
May 16.12 / Jennifer Nicole
I have no idea where any of my shorts are. This happens every year, and I never learn: put your shorts somewhere you’ll remember them. It can’t be that hard, and yet somehow, every year… I’m hopping on a plane directed toward sunnier climates this morning, so my shorts adventure will have to take place [...]
Current Obsession: Sheer Tops Under $50
Jul 28.11 / Jennifer NicoleIf I had to name one thing that almost all of my outfits have in common, it would be layering. I have something like ten cardigans, fifteen year-round camisoles (v-neck, lacy, silky, striped…) and if I have to wear only one thing on the upper half of my body, at any time of year, I [...]
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 [...]
5 Interesting Maxi Dresses Under $100
Jul 14.11 / Lindsay
Since this year seems to be maxi-palooza 2011, it’s not surprising that I’m pretty overmaxurated. (See what I did there?) Seriously, maxi dresses are starting to get so, so, so boring. Ooh, look. Solid color maxi dress with a tier on the bottom. Oh wow, check out that racerback, jersey maxi dress. Holy guacamole, I [...]
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: [...]
Shoe Porn: The Sandals That Weren’t
Jun 29.11 / Jennifer Nicole
I own a dog. Every morning I take that dog outside, twice, and every morning this summer, I’ve taken him out in sandals, forgetting that the grass in my back yard is still covered in dew and that I am still highly annoyed by cold, wet feet when I haven’t had my coffee yet. Stupid [...]
The Summer Sweater
Jun 23.11 / Lindsay
Seems counter-intuitive, doesn’t it? Bigtime heat-waves plus knit things? Sounds sweaty, right? I, for one, love sweaters in summer. Particularly summer nights spent outside. Big, baggy, and cozy, paired with shorts and wedges. Open-weave sweaters are my favorite, as you can wear anything from a tank to a bikini top underneath and it looks amazing, [...]
TMI Tuesday: Fake’n'Bake?
Jun 21.11 / Lindsay
We allllllll know how pale I am. Just click the outfit button at the top – white girl is white. So tell me, all of you olive-skinned-and-darker girls… What’s it like to get a tan? I wouldn’t know, of course, because I’ve never gotten one. Ever. I’ve never had a tan. This sensuous mix of [...]
SSG: Top 12 Floral Dresses for 2011
Jun 15.11 / Lindsay
The details around this summer shopping guide are starting to become a pattern. We don’t mean “look at the pretty dresses,” of course. We mean that every time we get together to work on Saturday night we end up going shopping instead, swooning over things we want to write about, but we never find just [...]
Tie One On: Unobtrusive Summer Jewelry
Jun 13.11 / Jennifer Nicole
I’m big into jewelry: chunky necklaces, delicate bracelets, cocktail rings. Gotta catch ‘em all. Like Pokemon. (Full disclosure: I don’t know what that means. I never…played? watched? did? Pokemon.) Jewelry in summer is hard, though. I sweat, and my bracelets start feeling all weird. The wind picks up, and my hair gets caught in my [...]
