Disclaimer: I realize that it is a zillion degrees and climbing in the A right now, but it was pretty cool out when I visited NYC earlier this month. Here’s a quick – very quick because I’m sweating just looking at these pics – look at one of the combinations I […]
Reader Request: Now that it seems that the warm weather is here to stay, I guess it is time to pull together some summer looks. I realize that I do not plan my outfits in advance and find myself wearing the same thing over and over or what I can […]
Last weekend, I attended my first Beauty Trend Event at Nordstrom (check your local Nordstrom’s “Events” page on the website to find one near you). It was so much fun and more than I expected! (A DJ playing loud “The Way You Make Me Feel” by MJ, “Nasty Boy” by […]
Empire State Building Hub and I took a quick, largely unplanned trip to the Big Apple a few weeks ago. My friends in real life are probably like, “What? ‘Largely unplanned’? You don’t do unplanned!” While that is usually the case, we decided to wing it this trip, and it […]
I love my buffalo check shirt! It makes me think of cozy days sipping hot chocolate by the fire in a (luxury) cabin in the (not-too-deep, just a little off the main road…and near a city) woods. I’ve never actually done that – it’s on the list! – but that […]
Navy is my favorite color (followed by gray… very exciting, I know), and because I actually like an Americana-inspired color palette, it’s pretty common for me to be in red, white, and blue even apart from the holidays. There’s a lot going on here, texture- and print-wise, and I think […]
I’ve been wearing these jeans to threads – see Exhibits A, B, and C for proof :-). I love how they add a touch of edge to even the most ladylike pieces. Jacket and bag: J Crew Jeans: All Saints Shoes: BCBGirls Sunnies: Ray-Ban Special thanks to my friend who […]
I used to do Fab Finds posts – randomly highlighting some of my favorite items in stores at the moment – when I first started blogging, and longtime J&S reader Ms. Shannon asked me to pick it back up, specifically starting with Old Navy. Happy to oblige 🙂 Color Inspiration: […]
I’ve mentioned my t-shirt issues before, but all that went out the window when I saw the print on this tee, a literal take on nautical style: architectural drawings of sailboats! I couldn’t happy dance to the register fast enough 🙂 This is the “before” pic of the washed-and-shrunk-in-the-dryer-one-time-too-many, extra old Banana […]
This camo tee – and the big “SALE: $4” sign above it – literally stopped me in my tracks as I was sprinting through Target*, taking a shortcut through the boys’ department. The slightly cropped, fitted cut perfectly balances the masculine print, making it easy to dress up or down. […]

Although I usually avoid wearing black and orange together (you know, the whole not wanting to look like a jack o’lantern thing), I think the fact that this is a bright, hot tangerine-y orange gives me a pass. That’s my story, and I’m sticking to it 🙂 Blazer: Ralph Lauren […]
