Julie — Fri, 03 Sep 2010 16:55:41 +0000

Even your hair likes to get dressed up sometimes. So why not don those gorgeous locks with a little hair jewelry—some cute headbands or accessories? We’re obsessed with the ones at www.shopbando.com.

Friday Fashion Find 8/27: Jeggings

Julie — Fri, 27 Aug 2010 13:58:06 +0000

Okay, we were a little weirded out by them at first. Like jeggings? It just sounds weird. But try on a pair. No seriously. If you haven’t picked up a pair of jeggings already, we promise they’ll be in your closet by the end of the fall. Who could resist jeans that stretch forever and let you curl up in that little pretzel snuggle without the uncomfortable tugging and bunching of denim? Not us, that’s for sure. The Cadre Noir Legging from Anthropologie caught our eye this week.

Julie — Fri, 20 Aug 2010 18:52:00 +0000

Sometimes, less is more. Show off those tanned shoulders with a flattering v-front and v-back shirt like the one we’ve found at urbanoutfitters.com for just $16. Daring, yet classy. Check and check.

Friday Fashion Find 8/13: Diana by Lauren Merkin

Caitlin — Fri, 13 Aug 2010 15:46:15 +0000

Who said Friday the 13th was unlucky? With Diana, there’s no way that you’ll be caught off guard on this Friday. We love Lauren Merkin’s clutch slash purse slash crossbody shoulderbag in this versatile accessory that comes in every shade of the handbag rainbow.

Though at $195 it may be a tad pricy for our entrepreneur budgets, we can think of tons of ways to rationalize this mini splurge. A) You can use this bag anywhere, anytime. B) Lauren Merkin’s a Brown grad (like us)! C) C’mon…it’s a bag…and it’s so darn cute.

Friday Fashion Find 8/6: Beachy Blush

Caitlin — Sat, 07 Aug 2010 01:51:46 +0000

You know that summery glow that makes you want to skip work and hit the beach as soon as you look in the mirror? That reminds you of ice cold lemonade and the smell of sunscreen?

Well we think that ooh-she’s-got-something-special summery shine should NEVER disappear just ’cause the leaves start changing.

When that summer shimmer starts to fade, try a warm, soft blush to get a natural glow without looking inappropriately orange for the season. After trying it out one NYC afternoon at Sephora, we’re obsessed with Laura Mercier’s Second Skin Cheek Colour in Lush Nectarine ($24).

Sweep it on to highlight those gorgeous cheekbones and people will be dying to know just why you’re glowing…all year long!

Urban Dictionary? More like Urban Fictionary.

Caitlin — Tue, 27 Jul 2010 04:46:46 +0000

So the other day Julie and I were doing a little video chatting, just getting things in order and such. We’ve been doing some research on Search Engine Optimization…basically just how to get Sexy Period up in the Google results so that you don’t have to click through the 17th “o” to see our page. Anyways, as we were vid chatting I typed into Google “period panties” just to see what would pop up. And wouldn’t you know it, urban dictionary had the nerve to be on the top of the first page of results.

Do you know what it said? Why don’t you take a guess?? Alright, I’ll tell you. Quote, “Panties that girls wear, that are not cute, during their period, or menstral, so they don’t ruin the pretty ones.” So we thought this was pretty funny. First of all, because Sexy Period is like the uber-arch-nemesis of this definition. Actually, first of all should probably be because whoever wrote this spelled “menstrual” wrong. So I think it’s pretty clear they haven’t done their research. But wait ‘til you hear the synonyms: “granny panties,” “draws,” “leakage proof,” “nasty draws,” and, my personal favorite, “no sex draws.”

Well at least they got the leakage proof right. Oh, and what did I hear you ask? How do you use that in a sentence? Let me tell you what Urban Dictionary says: “I have a separate drawer for my period panties.”

Sigh. Urban dictionary, you’re gonna need some revisions very, very soon…

Meet Caitlin: Our Wonderful New Intern!

Julie — Mon, 14 Jun 2010 19:11:25 +0000

This spring we searched everywhere to find the right gal (or guy) to intern with us this summer. Caitlin won us over with her hilarious writing sample and delightful personality. She is a rising junior at Brown, plays field hockey, and is trying to decide between a career in marketing or law. We’re pulling for marketing, but only time will tell. Be on the lookout later in the summer for website updates and maybe even a couple blog entries from her. Welcome to the team, Caitlin!

StyleWeek Providence

Julie — Mon, 14 Jun 2010 04:35:15 +0000

StyleWeek Providence was last week and I jumped at the chance to attend. Thanks to all the designers and sponsors for their role in enriching the RI fashion scene. It’s great to be in a city that celebrates innovative designers. On Thursday I went with my girls Kristin and Laurel. Our red carpet pose:

Loved this yellow silk taffeta dress by Nirva. The picture quality isn’t great, but you can see the bottom hem is silk velvet. I met designer Nirva Derbekyan at the after party and she is super sweet.

Thanks to Kasey and Maddy for joining me on the red carpet Friday night for a fun night out:

The second show on Friday was by Maya Luz who was a contestant on the last season of Project Runway. Her show was titled “Creature” and featured animal inspired materials such as this fur collar:

Second Time Around

We’re at it again, mailing tons of test panties this month out to our lucky volunteers to see which fabric is working best! We’ve got it narrowed down to three combos, and now it’s time to find out for sure which one is the winner.
