Cool Hues: Jackie’s Look

— see what our fashion editor wore today! —

Ah, Jackie. You make us want to shop 24/7 so that we can put together fun outfits and look as put-together as you do. But, alas, we will just live vicariously through you!! Keep reading to see what Jackie says about her look.

“These slouchy silk pants were an impulse buy, but they have quickly become my favorite transitional summer piece. I especially love how their abstract pattern looks when paired with upscale crystal jewelry,” says Jackie.

Today in History…

— our resident history buff & SWAT* Team member Lauren Heirigs gives us the download on what went down on this day —

May 17, 1907 – Dorothy Richardson is born

Dorothy Richardson was born today in 1907 in Abingdon which is a town outside of Oxford. Her father was bankrupt, her mother committed suicide and she had an affair with H.G. Wells.

Oh! And she also wrote stories. Well, really I guess they were technically novels. Or short novels. Actually she wrote short stories, novels and essays if we really want to be accurate, which I guess we should be since this is the internet and everything on it is true. Duh.

So, her work is important cause she created this style that she called “interior monologue” but everyone else called “stream of consciousness”. It’s essentially a feminine style because she bent the grammatical rules a bit to mirror the way we think. And by “we”, I mean ladies. We’re all over the place and there ain’t no rules that can fence in our trains of thought so she just ran with it.

Her style was a big influence on Virginia Woolf (see Monday) and this rather unpunctuated and verbose blog post. (see what I did there?)

So put on the girliest thing you can find, the Fuchsia Bow Wrap perhaps, and let your mind wonder.
