True story: In the 8th grade, I desperately wanted to shop for clothes at a thrift store. I mean, it was 1994 and everyone was doing it. My mom had her feelings about secondhand clothing, and since she controlled the pursestrings it was outfits from Gap Kids for me. But I was obsessed with finding a […]
One of our favorite parts of doing Two Girls, One Kit is having an excuse to explore all the amazing independent fashion labels out there! The web has enabled so many designers to get their names and products out to consumers in a way that simply wasn’t possible before the Internet (and especially Instagram) made it […]
Caroline and I realized recently that we’ve never featured a shoe label on Two Girls, One Kit! It’s a crime, really, because if anyone knows how a great pair of shoes can make an outfit, it’s this diehard minimalist dresser. When your closet is full of jeans, tees, and button downs in monochromatic solids, a show-stopping shoe wardrobe is essential […]
This week’s Two Girls, One Kit pays homage to the dark horse wardrobe essential of the last several seasons. If you’ve not invested in a long vest yet, then move it to the top of your shopping list because boy, howdy, are you gonna wonder how you ever lived without one! It truly is the […]
If last week’s installment of Two Girls, One Kit was all about stepping outside our fashion comfort zone, then this week’s has two sneakered feet firmly entrenched in familiar territory! While I’m all for exploring and getting creative with my outfits, sometimes a girl just wants to throw on old favorites and go. But of course […]
Today’s installment of Two Girls, One Kit perfectly exemplifies why Caroline and I started this series in the first place. It’s so easy to get into fashion rut, wearing the same things day in and day out, seeing pieces that intrigue you but writing them off as ‘not your style’. Our goal was to push […]
When I was in Florence last year I just happened to be there for Pitto Uomo, which is basically like NYFW but for menswear. The city, which is notoriously stylish to begin with, was overrun by men and women dressed to the nines in the height of sartorial splendor. There was one group of girls I kept running […]
It’s that time of the week again: we’ve got another installment of Two Girls, One Kit on the docket! I’m especially excited about this one because I love giving a shoutout to old friends doing big, new things—and the ethical style shopping site Accompany is very big indeed! Accompany was founded my former coworker Jason Keehn, who […]
It’s Tuesday, time for our weekly installment of Two Girls, One Kit! While most of the country has been bracing itself for snow and blustery gales, we’re enjoying some unseasonably warm temps here in LA. It’s got us reaching for shorts and tees well before we expected to, and it means that the light and […]
I was at a fancy work party recently and noticed something veeeery interesting: The balance in eveningwear had shifted from stylish gals in dresses to stylish gals in jumpsuits. Ladies in the know were attired in one-piecers of all ilks, from slinky and silky and shapeless to form-fitting and fab. Of course the coverall isn’t limited to […]
Can I just say that I feel like the most delinquent blogger ever? Keeping up with posting while here in India has turned out to be much more difficult than I expected—not because of a lack of Internet connectivity, but rather because we’re so non-stop from a.m. to p.m. that I hit the pillow exhausted each night! It’s […]
I’m writing this post from India! We survived over forty-eight hours of travel to arrive at our home base for the next five days, the city of Bikaner which is a major center of wool and rug-making in this country. I’m a little overwhelmed by all the sites, flavors, and information bombarding me—not to mention the jet […]
