On our last trip to the Salvation Army Thrift Store in St. John’s, we both spotted velvety dresses and were smitten. We’ve always thought velvet dresses were great for Fall and Winter, since the fabric tends to be more heavyweight and is quite often dark in colour. Not to mention it’s a fabric that looks lovely paired with tights! We thought, though, that the dresses … Continue reading Thrifted Thursday: 06.15.17
If you’re a fashion-loving Newfoundlander & Labradorian, then you’re no doubt already familiar with (slash fangirling/fanboying over) Megan Warren and her blog/Insta Don’t Forget to Sparkle. We LOOOOVE Megan and her knack for combining classic pieces with feminine touches to look 100% on-trend, classy, and modern. She launched Ethereal Boutique online a few months ago, and we’re already in love with that, too. We recently collaborated for … Continue reading Ethereal Boutique + New York City
We recently got home from an extra-long weekend in The Big Apple. The one thing we wanted to do but couldn’t fit in? Come From Away on Broadway. (Which is okay because that gives us a reason to go again, right? Haha). Before we start packing for a trip, we always plan what we’re gonna wear in advance. It just saves us time (and a … Continue reading Here Come the NYC Posts
So red isn’t usually a colour that comes to mind right away when we think “Summer” and “Florals”. We’d probably list all the pastels, bright pinks, yellows, purples, and a bunch of other hues before we finally got to red. On one of our latest trips to the thrift store, though, we found red pieces we loved! And we like the idea of introducing a … Continue reading Summertime Red Florals
Having a little trouble here writing an opening paragraph since our outfits have absolutely nothing in common this week, haha. Which you’ll soon see. The only tie that binds anything together is Model Citizens in St. John’s. It’s where Jess got the dress, and where Jana found her jeans. It’s the first pair of jeans she had purchased in about 5 years. There’s an unspoken … Continue reading Thrifted Thursdays: 05.25.17
When you think of classic ice cream flavours, which come to mind? Chocolate? Vanilla? What about Strawberry? So where does this put Neapolitan? It’s the delicious combination of all three. Does that make it the most classic ice cream of them all in Cone Kingdom? And have you noticed not all Neapolitans are identical? When we were little, the three flavours were all swirled together … Continue reading Dessert Diaries: Neapolitan
To the creator of stretchy fabrics, we salute you! Haha. Remember when leggings came back in style a few years ago? Once we started wearing them, we just didn’t stop, haha. Our poor, poor pairs of denim. They never saw it coming. Jess’ dress is originally from Eclipse, but she bought it secondhand. It’s nice and stretchy and flares out at the hip. We love … Continue reading Thrifted Thursdays: 05.18.17
When we’re thrift shopping, we’re not always drawn towards the exact same things–especially when we start filtering through the dress racks. (Which is one of our favourite sections to shop, since there’s usually a wide variety of styles, colours, and fabrics.) Jess has some sort of internal lace detector, haha. Give her 5 minutes to browse the store, and she’ll return with a bunch of … Continue reading The Dresses We Can’t Resist
This will be a quick little post from us today. We’re busy preparing ourselves to make 800 cupcakes tomorrow. (Does that even make sense? haha. Basically, we’re trying to get everything else done today so we can be cupcake-machines tomorrow.) Jess channeled her inner Effie Trinket in a big, blue way. This is one of the coolest dresses we’ve ever found at a Value Village. … Continue reading Thrifted Thursdays: 05.11.17
If you haven’t noticed, the 90s are back. They’re back in a BIG way. That ice blue crushed velour top I had with the mock neck?–I should have kept it around. Jess’ tattoo choker that she wore 24/7/365 in 1998? It’s so back. Like, totally. Strappy tank tops and platform shoes and flannel plaids? Yep. A Clueless remake? Well, not yet. (And that fake Facebook post circulating … Continue reading Give ’em the Slip (Dress)
