Lip Service: Zelda’s Favorite Sticks, Stains, and Balms
I am not a beauty guru (although I sometimes like to pretend I’m one on this blog). My contouring skills are pretty much nonexistent. I have yet to perfect my cat eye. But the one area where I do claim some smidge of expertise is lips. Berry or burgundy, crimson or magenta, I love a…

Inspiration Tuesday: These Streets Will Make You Feel Brand New
The recent Derby hooplah came with a healthy dose of nostalgia, a homesick longing for our old Kentucky home and all the good folks who understand just how big of a deal this little horse race is. But this time of year is also a reminder of how and why we love New York, our…

April Round Up
Spring has officially, finally, gloriously sprung here in New York, and we’ve been soaking up all the sunshine and ice cream and cherry blossoms we can get. All this warm weather has lured us up and out of our cozy dens — to the roof, to the theatre, to concerts, to brunch, to Philadelphia, to…

January Round Up
Our third calendar year on the blog (wait…what?) is off to a good, if cold, start. We’ve been busy working and writing, and we’ve both been ailing — Scout with a killer cold and Zelda with a debilitating stomach bug — so we’re sorry if we haven’t been all that present this month. But still,…

December Round Up
Goodness gracious, y’all. The calendar tells us there are a scant two days left in 2015, and we suppose it must be true. This year was hard and it was fun, filled with new beginnings and unknowns. We write to you one year older than on January 1st, and we hope perhaps a bit wiser,…

Inspiration Tuesday: Just Like the Ones We Used to Know
Temperatures are unseasonably warm here in the city, and while we’d be thrilled with this kind of reprieve come January or February, at this holly jolly time of year we’re missing the crisp, cold weather that usually graces us in the weeks leading up to the holidays. Somehow, without our cozy gloves and fluffy hats,…

The Very Official Z&S Holiday Gift Guide 2015
‘Tis the season of gifting. And gift giving can be hard, especially when over half your income is already set aside for the upcoming January rent payment. You’ve got a list a mile long and a budget that won’t give an inch. Lucky for you, Zelda loves to gift, and she’s put her talents to…

June Round Up
New York has skipped right over spring and rocketed us into the balmy, sweaty, how-many-fans-is-it-reasonable-to-own temperatures of June. We do love this time of year — it makes us think of home, where it’s so humid that the windows fog up — but it’s not quite as easy to endure without the comfort of central…

May Round Up
Oh May, you of the sunshine and storm clouds, with your 85 degree days and 45 degree nights getting us all discombobulated. This month started off with a bourbon-soaked bang and proceeded to fly by, full of visitors and job changes and the return of our favorite beer. Scout’s been filling her downtime filming a…

March Round Up
Not gonna lie to y’all, our lives this month mostly consisted of navigating unseasonable weather, as we tried (only somewhat successfully) to emerge from the self-imposed hibernation of February. While we mostly remained in Netflix-binge and blog-planning mode, we did manage, in the spirit of spring, to poke our heads out of our abodes. Zelda…
