Here’s what we recommend when you love travel but can’t quite afford the long-haul international flight and four weeks of accommodations: Take a local road trip. It’s been much too long since we’ve ventured outside North America, but such is life when unpredicted expenses pop up one after the other. To feed our restless wandering souls, we took a few days off recently to drive … Continue reading Trinity Baycation
Okay, see, I know what you’re expecting in this blog post. Pictures of all the fashionable fellas we saw at Rock the Shores in Victoria earlier this Summer. Uh, not quite. What you’re getting instead is pictures of JESS as the fashionable fellas we saw at Rock the Shores in Victoria earlier this Summer. We apologize for the misleading title. But trust me, these photos … Continue reading The Stylish Men of Rock the Shores 2016
Follow my blog with Bloglovin There’s something about a good music festival that just sucks us right in. It could be the sunshine. Or the lemonade. Or the dancing. It could be the feeling of watching a handful of bands you love in the same day. Or maybe it’s the fact you’re surrounded by thousands of really happy people listening to really good music. You … Continue reading Festival Fashions
On very rare occasions, the stars line up and place a bunch of your favourite spots in the same immediate area. Such is the case with “the steps by the War Memorial” in downtown St. John’s. Now, don’t get us wrong, downtown is FULL of lovely places. If we both made a list of “Five Favourite Places I’ve Ever Been”, downtown St. John’s would make … Continue reading The Steps by the War Memorial
This post isn’t just for prom, either. It’s also for that dress you bought for a work holiday party–or formal night on that family cruise back in 2010–and just haven’t worn it since. Let’s be honest, here. Sequins are pretty. Maybe that’s why we find them so irresistible? (“Oooooooooooooooo sequins!!”) And maybe that’s why we think it’s such a shame to wear something so pretty … Continue reading Sequins: They’re Not Just for Prom Anymore.
Say what you will about rural towns here in this province–but they make for lovely backgrounds when taking beauty and fashion photos. I know, neither ‘beauty’ nor ‘fashion’ is the first thing that comes to mind when you hear “rural Newfoundland”. But we’re trying, folks. Welcome to the lives of Jess and Jana, haha! We were shooting some looks for Retro & Rebel today, and … Continue reading Mixing Prints in a Small Town
Holidays and Birthdays are perfect occasions to pass along subtle hints for adorable things you’ve had your eye on. Sometimes, though, the hints are not so subtle. Actually, we’ll let you decide whether Jess pulling up an Instagram account and saying “I’d really like one of her pieces for Christmas” was subtle or not. Or how about when the last week of November rolled around … Continue reading The Cake Necklace We Have (But We Wanna Eat it, Too)
I’m not one for making Resolutions on January 1st. Have I made them in the past? Yes. Have I kept them? Hell no. Until 2015. Last year I finally did it–I finally kept a New Year’s goal for the entire 365 days. Last year, I made the decision to only buy clothing from secondhand shops. There were a few exceptions: undergarments, activewear, footwear, and Christmas … Continue reading Why I Thrifted in 2015
The best thing about that title is you can probably guess right away which local celebrity we saw in Petty Harbour, haha. But, we’ll leave you in suspense for the moment. As we’ve mentioned in previous posts, we’re trying to see as much of our beautiful province as we can. Petty Harbour was another on our list of NL towns we’d never visited. Surprising, since … Continue reading Petty Harbour and Local Celebrity Sightings
Probably not in the way you’re picturing “recovering”, haha. More so in that we spent an entire two days watching many of our favourite artists perform live. It was a mind-blowing weekend, to say the least. I still remember back in the Spring when Jess discovered the Squamish Valley Music Festival’s lineup. It read like a bucket list of performers we wanted to see. By … Continue reading Five Days After SVMF. We’re Still Recovering.
