When I was a kid, I always wanted a cool nickname. In fact, I was one of those kids that tried to force a nickname out of desperation...until I realized that was dumb and, luckily, stopped before anyone made fun ...
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 ...
I do believe I've just fallen in love. Something will need to be done about this. Boots 1 & 2 are the Doc Marten Regina boots ($150), and the rest are Doc Marten Darcie boots ($130), available on the Doc ...
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 ...
Jesus, can I just get a pair of wedges already? I have one pair of wedges. One. And I love wedges almost as much as Lindsay does. They're easier to walk in than pumps - my back is getting a ...
This site is mostly self-indulgent. I don't do gift guides, I do lists of things that I like. Just roll with it. This years, A Few of my Favorite Things include... Whenever Geren Ford shows up on Gilt. One of ...
So I bought these oxfords. I paid full price. And I know Lindsay would shake her head and sigh, utterly disappointed, but she's seen them on my feet and knows how amazing they are. (Liner notes: they're by Miz Mooz, ...
Ultra-coveted shoe designer, Jeffrey Campbell, has released a shoe collection destined to fulfill every girly-girl's dream. Pink Rock, JC's first capsule collection, debuts with every "OMG MUST HAVE", on-every-blog pair of shoes from his last season - in a bright, ...
Sometimes I fantasize about a life in which I get up in the morning, pull on my boots, and head outside to feed the horses. Then I'd have eggs and fresh-picked apples for breakfast before riding to the market to ...
No, I didn't get nabbed by the mob - though doing something to deserve cement shoes would be pretty exciting (I think). I've wanted a pair of lace-up, flat boots since my grunge-laden grammar school. I must have begged my ...
There's nothing wrong with being a little bold. Emphasis on a little bold. Over two years ago, I fell in love with my own little piece of boldness via Locher's Kate Necklace - "A sparkling faceted dangling crystal, a brass ...
I have grown to absolutely love holiday shopping. I buy my presents early, relishing the moment that I find the perfect, unique gift for someone I love. There's a part of me that looks at myself, this avid holiday shopping ...
Like the ever-coveted Reverse (members only - that link is my referral), Revolve clothing has yet another sibling site - Forward. Forward places its focus on up and coming designers, i.e. what's next. Well, as would be shocking to no ...
No matter how hard I try, who I talk to, how long I wait - I can't quit you, Mary Jane. There was a song from my early teens that used to play on KNDD 107.7 (only the best Seattle ...
I cannot believe that perfume is so expensive. I bought my first bottle of perfume two years ago with a Macy's gift card - it was my all-time favorite campaign, Diesel's Fuel For Life. After a few catastrophic and intense ...
In this case, however, there's nothing to be sorry about. As a proud nerd, I have a penchant for classic American novels. While "I LYK GUD BOOKS" doesn't really look super awesome on a silk top, Out of Print has ...
It's Jen! Lindsay's bestie, co-Demoiselle, and author of the socially-conscious fashion blog, Awakened Aesthetic. You might have noticed that our blogs are getting cuddly - I'll remove this text after we get to know each other! I'm not sure how ...
