If you’ve been reading for a while – here at The Demoiselles, or over at Broke & Beautiful or Awakened Aesthetic – you already know that the two of us are insistent that everyone needs to own the basics, including a great pair of jeans, comfortable – but sexy – dress shoes, and a well-fitting [...]

First Flight: (Custom Made) Thimbler Jeans

Posted on November 24, 2009 by The Crane and has 12 comments.

As far as personal style, we’d be hard pressed to put any two women next to each other and proclaim that their style is identical or remotely the same… Style is a culmination of your interests, personality, and history. It doesn’t define you, you define it – you’re running the show, and everyone is different. [...]

After seeing Miss Elle feature these 80%20 Lily patent covered wedges on the sidebar of Broke and Beautiful, we began looking for any excuse to feature them on The Demoiselles. Once they went on sale at Amazon.com we knew there was no going back. We each ordered a pair [...]

First Flight: The Bubble Hem

Posted on April 2, 2009 by The Crane and has 12 comments.

After reading all of your questions and concerns last week, all three of us at The Demoiselles decided to try the voluminous bubble hem trend. You’ll remember some of our concerns about the product: added volume; a round, balloon-like shape; over-accentuated curves and extra fabric that hides features. Could we find a dress that fit the [...]
