Meredith & Gwyneth, The New Yorkie
adventures in making NYC feel like home
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 [...]
When we moved to North Carolina, Gwyneth and I tripled our closet space. Hallelujah. (Aforementioned closet space recently seen here).

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 [...]
