Zara and Saint James

Saint James and Zara. My baby name selections.

Hah! Totally kidding. Thinking about baby names totally freaks me out, and it really should if I even mostly-jokingly said St. James would be a decent name for a boy. Saint James made my shirt and Zara made Cath’s.

In the photo above I’m not actually crying as Cath looks on gleefully. I have fall allergies that cause my eyes to sting and burn right when I walk out of doors. Cath is trying to be all professional and hold a pose, but I couldn’t pry my eyes open for long (quasi-successful in the first shot).

Details:

I love the pleats and mini pom-poms on this gorgeous blue Zara tunic. It makes sense seeing as I bought it. I gave it to Cath when I realized she actually irons things (like this tunic) and I never would. I realized last night that half of the things in my closet were unwearable because I haven’t touched an iron in a year. So either I stop being woefully lazy or I hand over half of my closet to Cath.

Oh! Saint James! I know there’s been a lot of hullaballoo about these shirts of late. Madewell carries them online here, but I got mine discounted through the Refinery 29 store. These are the original nautical sailor shirts from Breton. Soft and slouchy and wonderfully woven – it’s my new favorite tee. Now everything else in the Saint James catalog is taunting moi . Et toi?

  1. Oh man, that Saint James shirt is pretty much my dream shirt. I love both your outfits; the detailing on the Zara tunic is fantastic!

  2. Oh allergies, I thought your sister poked you in your eye Three Stooges style or something. Love the tuxedo bib detail on the shirt. Saint James ftw!

  3. I’ve been craving those St. James shirts. I agree with Jon They really are FTW.

    My husband’s allergies are totally off the chain at this time of the year. It’s almost unbearable for him. Especially when we have a dirty dog. So I assumed you were dealing with that instead of thinking you were crying.

    I love how you both have such a distinctly different sense of style from each other. Lots of people assume twins share everything, but both of you are so individual, it’s more like you’re very close sisters who happen to look alike.
