Meredith & Gwyneth, The New Yorkie
adventures in making NYC feel like home
Truth: Everybody wins if the way we define the term “miniskirt” changes a few times over the course of our lives. This year Gwyneth suggested that I could do my part in making the world a more beautiful place if I either listed a few of my higher hemlines on Ebay or stored them in [...]
We intended this post to be a “Splurge vs Steal” celebration (because we’ve been lusting after this out-of-budget Tibi Leather Peplum and found this affordable (and on sale!) alternative from Piperlime), but after downloading the photos from our camera, Gwyneth and I decided there’s another topic worth discussing – what in the world am I looking at [...]

Our Oleg Cassini colorblocked sundress was a Brooklyn vintage store [...]
It’s not often that we skip the sequins and stick with simple silhouettes. But when we do, like to incorporate as many feminine cues as possible into our look. If it’s going to be a tank-and-trousers kinda day, you can bet your bottom dollar it’s going to be a pink-tank-and-purple-trousers-with-a-floral-bag-to-boot-kinda day too. With a monogram [...]
