Cousin, Remember when I returned your Guess sweater?  The same night, I was passing by Saks and figured I could do some window shopping.  OOPS!  Window shopping became a shopping spree and ended up snagging this gorg Chanel... Pretty much love at first sight and at the same time I scored an awesome friend-- the one and only adorable Marjan.
Honestly how awesome/ hot is he?
Bloggers-- curious to who Marjan is?  Follow him on instagram @marjiemarj  He is also working on an amazing bag line @marjangjuraj !

See you in VEGAS- Less than 24 hours away!  Btw, my March Madness brackets have been ruined.  But I'm not about to blame any specific team. AHEM Andrew....

Les Faux Marants




Shirt: J.Crew (similar here). Pants: Zara. Belt: Vince Camuto (sold out). Sneakers: Steve Madden. Sunglasses: Alexander McQueenPhotography by Steph Wells

Cousin, I love your "running sucks" t-shirt and tutu.  I think you can tell from our pics that you're the artistic one in the family and I'm the athletic one.  

In honor  of March Madness, I hit the basketball courts with my faux Marants.  Dribble dribble.  Dunk dunk.  By the way, I was not making it rain on the court.

See you in Vegas for MM. (Go Duke!) xoxo, Linda

I Wear My Feelings On My Shirt

Cousin-  Couple of things.  
1- Saw this shirt at Nike and had to buy it.  You know how much I hate running and glad I can express my feelings to the world.
2- People thought I wouldn't get another use out of this tutu... Think again.  Just did.
3- I love jumping pictures.  Thank you Lenny for creating this illusion as I'm pretty sure I jumped about 3 inches.
4- These Marants- Love.  I need another pair but in cream.  Yes, I said need. Not want. NEED!
5-Are you ready for our Cousins Reunion next weekend?!?!  Best way to watch the Sweet Sixteen is in VEGAS!  
6- HOYA!  SAXA!  Sorry, had to pick a team and I married into the Gtown family.  They have been pretty nice to me.  Hah!

Let me know what you think.... Jean

Cousin, I see you were smitten with oxblood red this past fall, too!  Who wasn't?  It was a HUGE color trend.  I only invested in a couple of key pieces like this jacket and skirt from H&M.  Fortunately, I got a TON of utility of out of them and can see myself wearing them well into the spring.  #shoppingsuccess

That is..U-G-L-Y!

Cousin, I went to the Georgetown vs Cincinnati game today and lets take a moment to talk about the Bearcats uniforms.  Wow.  I know.  Terrible right?  It actually looked even worse in person.  Athletic gear has come a long way and these uniforms just took it back to square one.   The funny part is that you are going to hear all about this fashion faux pas from commentators who wear the worst quadruple tie knot, pocket square combos.  Yep- the pot calling the kettle black!

Maybe I should take a stab at redesigning these uniforms...
HAHA!  Jean

Freezing. Again.

My my... that Chuck Bass.  So handsome! Btw, I know I told you this but I saw him in the LES last summer and he looks even better in person. So glad I chased him down the street to take a picture with him.  And no, I'm not ashamed of it.  Actually, quite proud of it. 
Anyway....I feel like I'm the only person who doesn't know when to wear a vest.  I'm either freezing or sweating-- true story.  I think when Bo took this picture, I was freezing and probably why I look somewhat angry.  Don't get me wrong, the fur helped but needed some sleeves that day.  Maybe this means I need a fur coat.  Hmmm.
Btw, this color, Oxblood, LOVE IT.  Just like how I love Chuck Bass (I love you too Andrew!).

The Perfect Boyfriend





Shirt: Equipment (a steal on eBay). Jeans: Genetic Denim (on sale). Belt: Vince Camuto (sold out).  Shoes: Givenchy (thrifted). Sunglasses: Alexander McQueenPhotography: Steph Wells

Cousin, love the bow tie.  It's so Chuck Bass!  

So I took a more casual take on menswear by pairing a super feminine silk blouse with the "perfect" slouchy boyfriend jeans and chunky-heeled sandals.  Ironically, the jeans are called the "Ex Boyfriend" by Genetic Denim.  Let's hope they last longer than any of my exes did :-)

xoxo, Linda    

P.S. My jeans are now on sale.  Yes, it's killing me.  #ishouldhavewaited #shoppingfail

Anything boys can do, GIRLS CAN DO BETTER!

Sweater: Rugby, Shirt: Rugby, Bow Tie: Rugby, Tux Pants: Ann Taylor, Shoes: Oscar de la Renta, Earrings: J. Crew, Sunnies: Dior

Cousin!  When I tell people I wear bow ties, they either don't believe me or don't think I can pull it off. 
So to prove them wrong, here is my favorite look with my favorite bow tie.  What do you think?
Ah!!!  I love tuxes, I love wingtip shoes, I love ornate cufflinks, I LOVE MENSWEAR!  
Anywho, hope I proved that anything boys can do, girls can do way better! Jean
