Her name’s Brassy Lassy. (Okay no, her name’s actually Andrea, but we love calling her Brassy.) We’ve known Brassy for a couple of years now, from attending the same markets on the weekends. We’re SO PROUD of her for opening her own storefront in downtown St. John’s. Just walking into the store does good for your soul. Spend five minutes in there and you’ll swear … Continue reading There’s A New Girl Downtown.
If you’ve ever shopped at Model Citizens, you know that place is a treasure chest of stylish goodies. It’s officially a “Contemporary Designer Resale and Vintage Designer Boutique”, but I like calling it a treasure chest. We’ve both been shopping there ever since it opened, and we’ve yet to go in there and not fall in love with something. And, since the stock changes all … Continue reading Modeling Citizens
In the last four years, we’ve done a nice bit of travelling: Six weeks in NYC, 3 trips to Europe, five weeks in Australia/New Zealand, and a few visits to Canada’s West Coast. Every single time we go on a trip, we’ll tell our new friends that they “NEED to visit Newfoundland & Labrador”. And then they’ll ask us where the nicest places in the … Continue reading About Time we Became Tourists at Home
Thrift stores are typically hit or miss for me. I’ll either find nothing, or leave the store with a stuffed bag of goodies–$100 later. (This is the part of this post where Jess would say she ALWAYS finds something.) How many times have I left items on the rack, thinking I’ll find better stuff at the next thrift store? I always regret it afterwards. (Like … Continue reading Denim Duds
I say the cheapest way to enhance your wardrobe is to borrow from someone else’s, haha. (Word of advice: Never borrow a sister’s brand new pastel pink top and drop an inky black pen on it. It’s a bugger to remove–might as well just buy her a new top). I borrowed this sheer printed top from Mom’s closet, and the thrifted mens camo shirt from … Continue reading Borrowed Kinds
For reals, though, these dresses sum us up 100% when we’re travelling. (I’m still convinced the one I’m wearing is actually a shirt, but Jess informs me otherwise. Shortest dress I’ve ever worn, b’ys.) The dress Jess is wearing is plastered in an all-over ice cream print–probably equal to the number of ice cream cones she has actually eaten on our travels. I kid you … Continue reading Our Travels in Dress Form
Most of us here on the Avalon Peninsula knew today would be a snow day. I mean, come on, we all follow Ryan Snoddon on Facebook, am I right? Judging by the crowd at the grocery store yesterday–EVERYONE knew they’d be stuck in the house until at least lunchtime today. (Nothing brings us all out and about together like a nice fat blizzard warning, haha). … Continue reading Successful Snow Days & Shout-Outs.
Sometimes you just need to shut up and let your shirt do the talking, right? I feel like there’s a gap in the fashion industry for a shirt that says “No, I won’t share my fries with you”, or maybe an “I just farted” tank top. Although they probably already exist–because eventually they’re going to run out of witty sayings. Not that telling someone you … Continue reading We love Jac Vanek. Mom–not so much.
Especially when Jess is on hair & makeup duty 🙂 For Joanne & Rod’s incredible day, we had to get ourselves ready, too, before heading off for hair & makeup…I think we got up well before the Sun did. That’s what coffee is for, though. Wedding day preparations make you feel all warm and fuzzy when you think the world of the bride (and her family!) … Continue reading Weddings are All-Day Events
Aren’t those the best plaid shirts, though? The ones that are at least THREE sizes too big for you? (Although Jess has been known to toss on a double-XL every now and then). I really don’t like wearing ‘women’s’ plaid shirts. For starters, if I wanted to wear a crop top I would just go buy a crop top. Maybe it’s just me, but I always … Continue reading Thrifted Plaids that are Miles too Big
