Turtlenecks!

Send us a text

Fall has officially arrived, and we're celebrating with our signature blend of random observations and seasonal musings! Fresh off our annual Chardy Party (complete with a giant bottle of Rombauer and an unexpected second wave of late-night revelry), we're diving into autumn with renewed energy and plenty to discuss.

Have you ever wondered what Chardonnay-flavored lip oil tastes like? Spoiler alert: not like Chardonnay at all! We sample this peculiar product and discover it's more cake batter than wine, which leads us down a rabbit hole of fall trends including the famous Pumpkin Spice Latte that was almost called something entirely different. Did you know Princess Kate is going blonder? Should brown pants really be this season's wardrobe staple? We have thoughts.

The conversation takes some unexpected turns as we explore Europe's recent ban on gel nail polish due to concerning chemicals, Iceland's conservation efforts that literally involve throwing baby puffins off cliffs (for their own good!), and the extravagant transformation of college dorm rooms that has us questioning whether students should still experience the character-building joys of "roughing it." But the heart of our episode is a spirited debate about turtlenecks - from their practical origins protecting medieval knights' necks to their evolution as fashion statements worn by everyone from Audrey Hepburn to Steve Jobs. One of us champions their elegance while the other questions their comfort, all while reminiscing about our 1980s childhood fashion experiences that included unfortunate haircuts, coordinated outfits, and accessories with plastic fruit.

Join us for this cozy fall conversation filled with laughs, nostalgia, and maybe even some fashion inspiration. Whether you're Team Turtleneck or not, we promise you'll be entertained by our journey through seasonal trends, bizarre global phenomena, and memories of matching pinafores!
