The Demoiselles

This is a post by Julie Goodale. We were elated when Julie contacted us with her story. She is an incredibly brave woman who has truly taken control of a negative, and turned it into a positive. If The Demoiselles is about one thing, it would be that very concept. Please visit Julie’s amazing blog, [...]

While we both believe that quality and shape rule all, when it comes to dressing your body, we can’t continue to ignore one of our favorite past times: the graphic tee. Long have we been fans of Threadless, and now that we’ve grown past the state of witty one-liners across our breasts, we’re ready to [...]

We’ve spent a lot of time, over the past few weeks, talking about the best fall and winter styles for each body type.  What we haven’t yet covered is where you can find a long-wearing, long-lasting jacket – a place that covers not only the requisite straight-bodied size two or the ultra-curvy twelve, but everything [...]

First thing’s first: if you haven’t done so already, check out Karla’s Closet.  We’ll say it again: Karla’s Closet. Both of us absolutely adore her.  She’s the epitome of personal style: from her cropped hair, to her platform shoes, to her sexy, muscular ex-dancer legs.  Whenever we need a boost of inspiration, she can always [...]

First thing’s first: sweater dresses don’t have to be frumpy.  It may take a little extra cash – or waiting for the right sale – but a well-made, well-fitted sweater dress can remain a winter staple for years.  Jen bought one a year ago, and happily pulled it out of her closet last week for [...]

How long has it been since you’ve spent any time naked? I’m not talking out-of-the-shower-and-into-a-towel naked, or changing-clothes naked.  I’m talking about being purposefully naked. If it’s been a while – more than a month – I suggest you try it.  Close the curtains, shut the blinds, and hang towels over your mirrors if you need [...]

I absolutely adore Betsey Johnson.  To me, she just screams self-love: she cartwheels on catwalks, smiles in the face of oh-so-serious fashion editors, and seems to constantly be dancing to the beat of her own drummer whether there’s a drummer or not. Since I first saw her interviewed, I’ve felt a profound respect for Betsey.  [...]

Plaid. We’ve both been back and forth on this trend for a while.  Can it be done in a modern way?  How long will it last?  Moreover, do we even care? We went on a research spree, looking for the best (and worst) plaid options online.  Some of them are seriously drool-worthy (see: DSquared) and [...]

At the time we were directed to the ad below, the two of us  (Jen and Elle) were working via Skype.  Instead of a text or video reaction to the article we read, we give you a screen capture, which was taken while we were both viewing the article and its accompanying image.  For your [...]
