Earlier this year, after not buying anything that wasn’t absolutely necessary throughout the pandemic, we broke our retail fast and each purchased the most comfortable pair of shoes we could find (ignoring our own “style over comfort” rule). Beckie ditched her “running shoes are for running” stance, and nabbed a pair of Allbirds, while Martina scooped up a pair of blindingly white rubber Birkenstock’s. We respectively wore them with everything for as long as we could get […]

But, since starting our business in 2009, one of our biggest pieces of advice has always been to stop shopping. Not because we want to deprive people of new and shiny things but because we believe in intelligent […]

when it’s not important…but actually it is HOW ARE YOU HOLDING UP? THIS IS AN EXTRAORDINARILY DIFFICULT TIME. AND WHILE WE ARE ALL FACING MANY OF THE SAME CHALLENGES RIGHT NOW, WE ARE ALSO DEALING WITH OUR OWN UNIQUE CONCERNS AND COPING WITH COVID-19 IN DIFFERENT WAYS.   HOW DO YOU ROLL WHEN THE WHEELS […]
