I love the idea of borrowing a shirt from G's side of the closet—in theory, wearing one of his tailored shirts with skinny jeans and pumps sounds like the perfect casual, but sexy outfit. In practice, I more often looked like a slouchy, potentially hungover mess. Pretty much the opposite of sexy-cute. This blouse from Rag & Bone has the look and feel of a man's tailored shirt, but plays with the off-the-shoulder trend in a sophisticated, preppy way. When worn with skinny jeans and pumps it creates a polished (not laughable) borrowed-from-the-boys look for Saturday afternoon oysters with friends. Looks like G's shirts are safe for now.

Up until the past year or so, I had never been much of a jeans girl. I mainly attribute that to not yet having found my go-to brands that work best for me (Mother, Agolde, and Madewell). Now, I wear them most days of the week. And though there's never anything wrong with going ...read more

When we launched the Shop back in April, I was thrilled to have a permanent place online to house the home goods and apparel I love. It was immediately rewarding and such a thrill, but there was a steep learning curve. Certain items sold-out within hours, we launched without ...read more
