As we've mentioned, Nicole and I are always sending each other the cool things we discover. Sometimes it's a photo of a cute dog, other days it's an article that we couldn't stop thinking about days later. Here's the first post in a new series about some of our best discoveries.
The Worst Crimes Fashion Has Committed Against Jeans in Recent Memory
As a self-professed jean lover, some of the recent denim trends have me seriously cringing. I’ve been less than enthused to see the return of uneven hems, rips, and bizarre silhouettes. Here, a summary of some of the worst offenses to the sanctity of jeans.
A Nap Hangout
One afternoon last spring, my best friend had just returned home from school across the country and I was so excited to see her. We wanted to do something fun but, between my gearing up for finals week and my friend having recently finished hers, we were exhausted.

It turns out we were on to something: the nap hangout.

It was the paper cup that sparked today’s to go cup culture. I learned this factoid (and so many more about the cup’s history) from this engaging article. Psst: you’ll be seeing them again soon on New York streets.

I love New York City, but I find one of the most challenging aspects about living there to be the lack of light. This interactive map shows the shadows cast by buildings on every Manhattan block through the seasons. I’d look at this map were I on the hunt for an apartment. (I also just have a thing for maps.)
