Talking About Shoes- part 1

At first we thought this would be a quick post- of course we have more than enough shoes to share about- but once we stopped talking about which shoes go with what outfit or occasion, and started looking at why we buy the shoes we do…now that’s another post in itself! We found out there’s some definite age-related differences in…

Thrifting on Vacation

Winter Bee: I have family in Findlay, Ohio so I travel there at least once a year to visit. My sister-in-law and I love thrifting, decorating, and gardening, so we always make it a point to get to our favorite thrift stores and antique malls. You never know what you’ll find, some trips are a big zero and sometimes you…

Accessories with Pizzazz

It’s so easy to get carried away with accessories- jewelry, handbags, scarves. You can pick up a little bauble here, a scarf there, handbags at Goodwill or TJMaxx, especially since they are not usually very pricey. They become overwhelming and the next thing you know, you have no idea what you have anymore! Every so often, you pick up something…

A Sign of Spring: Dresses

Tangerine Tea: Howdy! Tangerine Tea here, and I am flying solo this week while Winter Bee is on vacation (much deserved, I may add). I absolutely LOVE dresses! I haven’t always loved them. Growing up, I usually only wore dresses or skirts on special occasions. Heck, I work purple jeans to my eighth grade dance. Now as an adult, I…

Dressing Room Diaries: Can We Rock a Crossbody Bag?

How do you feel about crossbody bags? Tangerine Tea owns a few, and Winter Bee likes them on other people. So we decided to do a Dressing Room Diary and met up at TJ Maxx to try on some crossbodies! Then we zipped next door to Goodwill to see what we could find there. We have a lot of photos…

Winter to Spring: Moving Out the Coats in our Closets

Here in CT, the weather was gorgeous this past weekend, 60+°F, and now 30°F predicted for this weekend. However, here in TangerineTeaWinterBee-land, we are optimistic for spring and we’re ready to switch out the winter coats for some spring fashion! This is one of those lifestyle differences between us. Some is due to life stages, we think, and some is…

Retail Therapy- Spring Goodwill

What do you do when you need a lift in your spirits and in your closet? Call a friend to hit up the local Goodwill! Tangerine Tea is quicker in the aisles than Winter Bee, but that’s okay. We are a good balance of taking our time and knowing what we are looking for. Plus, we have a good time…

French Manicures: Just For Brides?

Sometimes it seems like the French manicure is reserved for brides. We can see why- it’s classy and chic, and doesn’t compete with the dress or the bouquet. Is is possible to rock the French mani in everyday? Winter Bee: A French manicure is my go-to when I break a nail down to the quick. I like my nails to…

Myth Busters: White Button-Down Shirts

How many times have we read a white button-down shirt is a closet essential? We spent forever on the mission to find the perfect WBDS, and now we have it, guess where it resides? That’s right- in the shoved aside, darkest corner of our closets. Truth is- yes, a white button-down shirt is style staple for some, but not all….
