Last spring I bought a utility jumpsuit and wore it nearly into the ground. It quickly became my go-to when I wanted to look cool but be comfortable, and didn’t want to have to put too much effort into it. It’s been hanging in my closet all winter, waiting patiently for its second go-round this […]
This summer Ivan and I were invited to a wedding that had the world’s most specific dress code. We were instructed to dress in the style of 1960’s Hong Kong, as both bride and groom not only grew up in that country but also adore the period film In the Mood for Love. Always one to […]
Last night Ivan and I had one of those terrible before-bed arguments that leaves you feeling too worked up to sleep. The subject? Air conditioning, and the fact that we don’t have it. We’ve been incredibly fortunate to have only cool days so far this year, but I can feel the heat waves looming and […]
I’ve just returned from High Point Market, where I spent four glorious days wandering the showrooms and touring the new collections from established and up-and-coming interiors brands alike. The trip was a success by every measure: I connected with friends old and new, got a solid sense for the trends and happenings of the design […]
I don’t know what it is about this year’s fall fashions, but I’ve caught the bug and I’m feverishly updating my wardrobe! It’s fun to be invigorated by my outfit options again, after several seasons of feeling a little ‘meh’ about my closet’s contents. I’m chalking my renewed interest up to some seriously interesting trends […]
There’s a handful of fashion blog headlines that are like kryptonite for me. The ones I’m most vulnerable to are those having anything to do with how French girls dress.

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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
It’s Tuesday, which means that it’s time for another Two Girls, One Kit post! Caroline and I are having so much fun with this series. It’s a blast to see what the other comes up with each week, and to explore our different personalities through clothing! It’s not always easy to decide on which piece we […]
