It may not be a review per-say, but we’d like to occasionally talk about what new trends, items, and styles have caught our eye. (Really, we can’t help but gush over some new hip, fancy, items but our real life friends only have so much patience for these types of chats…) Perhaps you’d like to hear about our obsessions too. Maybe you even have some of your own you’d like to share.
Well, we’re all ears. Gushing – though encouraged – is not required.

Trend of the moment? The one we never thought we’d embrace again after spending our adolescence living in the grunge faze that was the early ‘90s?
Flannel.
While a part of us can’t believe it’s back, another side of us can’t believe it ever left. It’s soft, cozy, colorful. Why wouldn’t we want to sport flannel throughout the fall and winter?
The key difference this time around (besides leaving the Doc Martins stuck in the way, way back of our closet) is this is not your father’s flannel. XXL shirts are not the current flannel wave we’re riding. The trend this time around is tapered, tucked, much more feminie. There are ruffles, bows, and darts which means that lumberjack shirt actually looks sexy instead of big, boxy, and unflattering.
Call us crazy but we’re in. After all, it’s going to be a long winter.
