Best Week Ever Dot Com | EP 17
It was the best week ever.com! On our way to Buffalo Exchange, we saw a vintage/second hand store that wasn’t on our speed dial. Whhaatt??? We had to conquer immediately. Needless to say, we declared Second Street one of the greatest resale stores. (Locations in New York and Japan!) Racks so packed you can’t even move the hangers. In the designer section, Holly found a sheer MSGM top (who doesn’t love a shirt that’s completely sheer), and the most spectacular dress picked out practically blindfolded by our next BFD guest, Devin. After finishing Second Street we trek into Buffalo Exchange. With all of the designer pieces hanging on the wall, Nolan spotted a Sonia Rykiel leather and felt coat that he demanded Holly try on. Needless to say, she wore it out of the store. it was 95% off with the tags still on! Later, we got dinner at The Mark Hotel as Nolan’s favorite thing on the planet is to watch the old Russian women and other fabulous Upper East Side ladies walk into the hotel. Later in the week Holly decided to get her hair done. As she picks a color that is NOT approved, it turns out, of course, Nolan’s friend owns a salon, It was an amazing gals and gays day as Holly was down for a new fall hairstyle. Now the grey is gone, she has a new fall color and it looks delicious. Mani and hair trim for Nolan. Holly DOES miss her weave though; it’s #unbeweavable. It was something Nolan couldn't unsee. Tune in as we talk about Lizzie Tisch’s Holiday Pop-Up Shop! It was spectacular and amazing customer service. Shout out to Lizzie Tisch and Gigi Burris Millinery!

When shopping for his clients he found a unique, chic Rick Owens leather jacket for $400 – which is absolutely nothing for a Rick Owens jacket so obvi, score for Nolan.

Later, we talk about our obsession with Schitt’s Creek and their fashion choices. Catherine O’Hara has the best style; it’s just like how she dressed in Beetlejuice.

We Are In Pursuit Of Fashion And Adventures | EP 13
I mean who doesn’t need stretch leopard velvet pants? Nolan (of course) found the perfect pair for Holly; it's like they were made for her. Holly & Nolan visit Nordstrom Rack in Manhattan, which is a whole different level than a Midwestern or Southern Nordstrom Rack. FULL of designer pieces and deals o' plenty, they acted like it was the last sale on earth. Holly talks about the most beautiful Valentino dress she found at Nordstrom Rack, but didn't get it because, well, breathing is important. After an hour in the dressing room trying on clothes, they didn't find any real winners. You need to love something when you buy it......just because it’s on sale, doesn’t mean you need to get it. Plus, we saw a significant fashion crime–she literally had see-through bike shorts. That was NOT okay. And it's a lot before noon. #getamirror #wecantunseethat Later, we speak about the pleasure of feasting our eyes on The Sandy Schreier Collection at The Met. (TO DDIIIEEE). Plus, we end by yelling at Nolan (weekly) about having too many middle aged women friends and that he needs to suck it up and make some friends his own age. He tries, then he just ends up being better friends with said friend's mom instead. Sigh.
