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 […]
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 did a big closet clean-out last week and confirmed something I already suspected: a sizable chunk of my wardrobe is striped. What’s more, it’s not just striped but the same kind of striped, that classic sailor stripe that’s always en vogue and that brings an effortless ‘French Girl’ touch to any outfit. Seeing my stack […]
Last February I had LASIK surgery and ended my 10-year codependent relationship with prescription glasses. As great as its been to come out from behind my glasses I do sometimes miss the instant accessories cred that my eyewear collection gave me. Nothing completes an outfit like a memorable pair of frames! To fill the void, […]
Yesterday marked a major achievement for me, you guys. In the morning I changed from my pajamas into a dress and then didn’t get back into PJ’s until it was time for bed. Usually I can hack street clothes for barely an hour at a time, so my sartorial endurance felt noteworthy indeed. Granted, the only way I was […]
I came back from Italy feeling majorly inspired not only by the history, architecture, and food, but also by the style. Man oh man, did those Italians catch my eye with their sartorial savvy! So much so, in fact, that new fashion mantra is ‘Italian Woman on Vacation’. I’ll be running all my purchases for the next while […]
While I was away in Europe, summer arrived with a bang in Los Angeles. I returned home to soaring temps and blazing sunshine, the sort that brings sunburnt, peeling noses and sweaty backs of knees—and that banishes all thoughts of clothing as anything but a regrettable social nicety that stands in the way of being […]
When culottes first started showing up in shops, I couldn’t believe my eyes. My longtime associations with the style center around either sensible lady uniforms—think meter maids and scout troop leaders—or grannies in Easy Spirit loafers. Even as the traditionally dowdy trousers started to trickle farther down the fashion chain for this year’s summer style, I had […]
One of my favorite fashion memories is my graduation from flats to heels. It was the 9th grade and I was headed to New York City for the first time—a touristy trip with the school orchestra to take in iconic cultural offerings like Blue Man Group. Of course such a remarkable voyage as this required […]
This past weekend I spent time with my impeccably dressed friend Chloe, who has a magical ability to make even the most unexpected pieces look chic. Saturday was no exception, as Chloe breezed into the room wearing a floor-length white dress made of heavyweight sweatshirt jersey. I demanded to know the designer behind this outfit, which […]
