Yes, I have one convert from the September Obsession post!  The Caelyn shoe by Ugg is Lisa's choice - and they apparently have fur in the toe-box, making these a great choice for winter! ~ JH

Fashion doesn't rest, even in summer.  The following text arrived the other morning, directed to Lisa and me:

The item in question?

Lisa and I didn't really have to confer on this one.  Lisa texted back while I called our friend directly:

Whether or not we love them, these thong Birkenstocks are hot and actually, can be cute with the right outfit.  Think white linen pants and a red pedicure.  Actually, all linen pants wold be fabulous.  Think jean jacket over tank-top with long skirt.  Think maxi-dress with jacket.  Here are some Pinterest images for inspiration:

Stick with the silver, white, or graphite colors of the Birkenstocks and change up your casual summer looks! ~ JH

Happy Summer! It's officially sundress-and-clingy-jersey-skirt-weather and as I discovered yesterday as I was running out to a party,  the usual undies were not up to muster.   Panty lines, twin belly....it was not a good scene.  I had to consult Jen immediately.

Seeing is believing ladies - Check out the Yummi by Heather Thompson® Jasmina Thong in nude of course, for all the white you'll wearing this summer.   

Our little summer gift to you.  Enjoy! ~ LB

Just when you think it's going to be an ordinary day, you walk into Saks and BOOM!  Tara Jarmon and Tara Jarmon Mademoiselle, two of THE most inspirational Parisian lines, right here in Boston.  I had to text Jen immediately.  My text started with this photo.

And Jen, whose texting is in blue, responded below.  I'm in grey.

Look at the color, beautiful patterns and classic silhouettes of the spring line.  Simple, elegant cuts in beautiful fabrics with luscious textures.   Tres chic and ultimately timeless, to be loved and worn for years to come.  After much online searching, these are some images that I've found of the spring line:

In the United States, Tara Jarmon is only available Saks, and only in-store as of now.  And our most stylish stylist, Claudine Eaton, is the person to help you find a gem in this line in the Boston store.  Check it out next time you are in Saks! ~ LB

Since our first replayed text conversation was well received, we thought we'd share another one.  This one, about shoes.

Scene - Lazy Saturday.  Jen still in pajamas and robe.  12:03pm.  Lisa texts Jen a picture.

Lisa:  'Thoughts?  Rachel Zoe.  Insanely comfy but not sure if too horsey.  Can see with white.  Commuting too.'

Jen: 'Really like.  They are a little more material than I'm used to seeing on you, but I likey.'

Lisa: 'Yeah, me too.  That's what the concern is.  But they are easy to walk in.'

Jen: 'How much were they?  On sale?  Full price?'

Lisa: 'Unlike these which are just cute. Tory.  Need another pair of espadrilles.  These or the navy ones from J.Crew? 150 for Zoe. 130 for Tory.'

Jen: 'Honestly, I think the navy J.Crew is better for what you want to wear them with.  Keep the Zoe at 150.  I like them!'

Lisa: 'Oh, and I got these wedges and just adore.  These are out of the holding area.'

Pause in conversation to share our definition of 'holding area' with you:  If Lisa or I purchase something we aren't sure about, we each have a corner in our bedroom/closet we call the 'holding area'.  Either an item eventually comes out of the holding area in and into rotation OR that item is returned.  Items that go directly into rotation are no-brainers and loved.  Items that go straight to the holding area need more consideration.  Clearly, these shoes are out of the holding area and into the closet for keeps.  Back to conversation.

Jen: 'You have been holding out on me!  Where are all of these from?!'

Lisa: 'Agreed.  Thank god you are available for consult.  The holding area is all backed up.  I've been cyber shopping.'

Jen: 'Where? Nords?  Neimans?  I guess you skipped the science museum (where her family was heading this afternoon) in favor of sorting through the holding area.'

Lisa: 'Nord. NM. Saks. Crew.  Bad girl.  Yes, skipped trip.  Much better for my karma.'

Jen: 'Holy cow.  What else is in there?'

Silence.  I think she might be buried under a pile of shoes.  ~ JH
