Peer Pressure: Tuxedo Pants

Sep 28.11 / Lindsay

Formal attire as casual attire is one of my ultimate favorite styles. It’s kind of a combination of an “eff you” to convention and a little bit of class… something different, you know? Coloring outside the lines as far as style goes (and what’s more fun than that?). Over the last few months, I’ve been [...]

Can We Talk About How Dumb These Nails Are?

Sep 19.11 / Jennifer Nicole

You know. Because “stiletto nails” are something I could type with. Or do anything with. Huh?

WYW: Python?

Sep 07.11 / Jennifer Nicole

Ohmygodsnakeskinisback. By “snakeskin” I mean python (because everything needs a new name each go-round),  by “back” I mean trending for fall, and by “ohmygod” I mean OH MY GOD. Yeah, yeah, I’m an ethical fashion blogger. I know. I’m not supposed to like fur or animal prints…but I have this thing with snakeskin. I told [...]

Current Obsession: Sheer Tops Under $50

Jul 28.11 / Jennifer Nicole

If 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 [...]

TMI Tuesday: One Off?

Jul 26.11 / Lindsay

The Statement Nail, aka one-nail-different-from-the-others. Have you tried the “statement nail” trend? Give us TMI!

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. [...]

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 [...]

Peer Pressure: Flares

Apr 21.11 / Lindsay

While I’d love to be one of those confident, charismatic, style ingenues who looks at the trends occurring around them and said, “Oh, pish posh. I’m not interested in any of that,” and carries on unaffected… I’m not. And really, I’m okay with that. I love seeing the cyclical nature of clothing, and when a [...]

Oxfords Anonymous

Apr 20.11 / Jennifer Nicole

The days are getting longer, the sun is starting to shine (intermittently, anyway) and I am still stuck on oxfords. The first pair I ever loved – and you always remember your first – were my Miz Mooz Histerics, and we’re still together. I shine them once a week or so, and waterproof the toes [...]

How To Wear White

Mar 28.11 / Lindsay

White was everywhere last autumn as the spring collections came down the runway. From influential new designers like Alexander Wang (whose collection I am moderately obsessed with) to super-edgy designers like Rick Owens and Ann Demeulemeester to classic luxury designers like Bottega Veneta, Chloe and Thakoon – every was basking in the brightest of whites.
