Binge Watch Like a True Gilmore
November 27, 2016
Hello, honorary citizen of Stars Hollow.
If you're like me, you have been dreaming about a "Gilmore Girls" revival since the day the original show ended. Well, the time has come to return to our favorite tiny town for some more love triangles, fast talking, and of course plenty of coffee.
In order to properly honor Lorelai and Rory, the patron saints of caffeine, we have come up with a few tips to help you binge watch like a true Gilmore.
1. Decor
Getting the cozy feeling of the Gilmore home can be easily accomplished by having you and all of your guests pile on your couch, but if you want to go the extra mile, here are some cute detailed touches that any true fan would love. First, hang some vintage Stars Hollow prints from Etsy (if your guests don't understand the references, please ask them to leave). Next, make sure everyone labels their coffee and/or wine glasses with cute themed glass charm. As an homage to the proud collection curated by Rory and Lorelai, make sure your guests only eat their Pop-Tarts off of Charlie's Angels plates. Finally, make sure that all caffeine is consumed via Gilmore worthy mugs that rest comfortably on coasters from Luke's!
2. Food
There are a few ways to respect one of the Gilmore's favorite pastimes. Of course, no Gilmore gathering could proceed without a lifetime supply of Pop-Tarts. Now add some doughnuts. Now add popcorn. Tacos are always welcome. Maybe a pizza? No, five pizzas. Bring some of Luke's pancakes. Rory would want Twinkies. Another perfect option is recreating the food delivery party Lorelai threw for Rory when she first arrived at Yale. On second thought, combine all of these options; besides, leftovers are the best.
3. Drinks
If you don't know what to drink at a "Gilmore Girls" watch party, you should not be having a "Gilmore Girls" watch party. There should be coffee. There should be an endless amount of coffee. For those of you who don't love the Gilmore drink of choice (which is crazy), I'm sure Lorelai and Rory will be fine with the consumption of red wine or Coke.
4. Dress
Grab your comfiest sweats and your skinny scarves (if you can find someone who still sells skinny scarves). The Gilmore girls believe in comfort, so let's honor them by wearing a "Coffee. Pizza. Gilmore Girls." sweatshirt, shall we? Or, try to blend in as a real Stars Hollow resident with this small town sweater. My personal favorite is this baseball-tee that let's the world know you are forever an "honorary Gilmore".
So, whether you are team Jess, Dean, or Logan, and no matter what side of the "Emily Gilmore in jeans" debate you're on, steal your family's Netflix password and begin your binge like a true Gilmore.
Our Fall Favorites
November 21, 2016
Hey fashionable fam, it's that time of year; it's time to put down the sunscreen and pick up that pumpkin spice latte (or gingerbread if you're already in the holiday spirit). That's right, it's Fall. In our humble opinion, Fall is the best season for fashion, and just the best season in general. Due to our Autumn obsession, we've made a list of our favorite things that are helping us enjoy the colder weather and changing leaves. So here is Sincerely Unfabulous's official list of Fall must-haves:

Thanksgiving Outfits You'll Want To Wear
November 18, 2016
You guys, we are already a week away from Thanksgiving and I could not be more excited!! Thanksgiving is one of my favorite holidays because you get to dress in cute outfits, eat a whole bunch of food and surround yourself with your family. I'm not usually someone who plans their outfit weeks in advance, but since I'll be leaving to go to New York and need to start packing I've been thinking about what I'm going to wear (insert picture of my standing in my closet realizing I actually have noting to wear).
Some people really dress up, but I like to keep it causal on Thanksgiving. Usually I don't even leave the house, so I opt for comfortable clothing so that I don't feel horrible after I eat all the food! Usually on Thanksgiving my family wakes up and watches the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade in our PJ's, start the food preparations, eat until we can't eat no more and then usually end up on the couch watching a Christmas movie. Fabulous.
Last Thanksgiving I was in London visiting my cousin and we went to Wagamama's and then to see the Latest Hunger Games movie - so it definitely wasn't a traditional way to spend the holiday! I usually use Polyvore to plan out my outfits for special occasions or if I have a flash of inspiration. It's a fun and creative way for me to see how the outfit will look without having to put it on! I have included some of the outfits I liked best that I came up with as potential Thanksgiving options, so I thought I'd share them with you instead of keeping them to myself!
These next 2 outfits are perfect for those girls who like to be a bit dressier. If you're going to be somewhere where it's cold the first option is perfect if you add tights and a coat. The second is great if you're somewhere where it's a bit warmer! Both options are so cute you'll be getting compliments all night long...
And finally, the one I decided that I will be wearing. Granted I don't have any of these exact pieces, but I think we all have a black sweater, black jeans, and black boots in our closets, right?
There are also a lot of really good sales going one right now that you should definitely be taking advantage of. You can pick up some good pieces for the upcoming holidays or get some of your Christmas shopping done :)
We hope you all have a great Thanksgiving and Happy Turkey Day!!!

On Trend: Bomber Jackets
November 15, 2016
 |
Now that Fall is in full swing, it's time to trade in our shorts for boyfriend jeans, our sandals for leather boots, and our sun hats for scarves.
As Sarah and I compile a list of our favorite things for Fall (a full list is in the works), we decided to give you a sneak peek of one item on the list, bomber jackets.
Bomber jackets are perfect for Fall. They give you just enough warmth to fight those crisp Autumn winds, without making you break a sweat once you head indoors. Not only are they functional, but they can easily go from day to night with the help of a few accessories.
The key to a good bomber is finding one that won't break your bank. As I was shopping this morning (in my pajamas and with a large coffee, as all online shopping should be done), I saw some jackets for as high as $1,300 (a jacket that costs as much as my rent?! No thanks!). So my friends, I decided to save you the gut-wrenching process of price tag heartbreak, and share my own list of cute and affordable bomber jackets!
My Favorite Pick: The Style Club "Babe" bomber from Nordstrom. This jacket will keep you warm while showing off your sassy personality.
Southern Sweetness: Cotton Candy Rose Gold Bomber from Behind the Glass. This boutique in Auburn, Alabama is my favorite place to shop. This satin bomber helps me bring a little bit of the South to NY, and as a bonus, it looks great with a baseball hat.
Classic Comfort: The Kasey Bomber from Brandy Melville. This is my favorite jacket for work. I can wear it with my high-waisted corduroy skirt and my Adidas, or my jeans and Converse to be comfortable all day. My favorite part about the Kasey is the fur lining, (faux of course!) which keeps me warm and cozy.
Cute With an Edge: Patches Zip-Up from Romwe. This bomber keeps you warm while showing some personality. The classic army green gives it a retro vibe, and as a bonus it is by far the most affordable jacket in my search!
Chic and Shining: Silence+Noise Metallic Bomber from Urban Outfitters. This jacket will help you shine bright and shine far on your night out. Wear it with a crop top or with a dress, and you are sure to stand out in the crowd.
Now it's time to pour that glass of wine, get into your coziest pjs, and online shop to your heart's content!
Let's Choose Love
November 10, 2016
Well one thing is for sure, within the past few days America has been through the wringer. I struggled for a long time on whether or not we should write something about all this political chaos, but finally decided that this blog promised to give y’all stories about our lives and struggles, and this is definitely one of them.
Let me start off by saying that I am not here to pick apart
either candidate, I am here to share a different side of the story, the one
that happens after all the votes have been counted, the one that happens
between friends and family. The hate between parties right now is so palpable;
I feel it when I glance at my social media, walk down Fifth Avenue, or even when
I’m shopping at Target. Right now I feel like America is a child of divorce
being forced to choose whether we want to live with mom or dad. What worries me
is that these sour feelings aren’t limited to strangers on the street, they
follow us home; this week I have witnessed this negativity break family and
friends apart. Luckily, my family and I were blessed with a similar mindset,
and to us it was clear which candidate should lead us into the future. All was
fine on the home front, but in New York, a really good friend and I are in a
world divided, and through all of the negativity I have struggled to accurately voice my
feelings on the situation.
Let me start with what I do know about my friend. My
friend is caring, hilarious, loyal, faithful, generous, loving, honorable, passionate,
and has been one of the most important people in my life for the past six
years. We have had disagreements before and I’m sure we will disagree again;
however, this difference in opinion seemed too large to overlook.
So what do we do when we don’t see eye-to-eye with a loved
one? Y’ALL, WE TALK ABOUT IT. I appreciate people speaking out for what they
believe in. I am obsessed with the fact that this amazing country allows us to
speak our minds, but if we are not coming from a place of love and understanding,
then what are we aiming to accomplish? Instead of jumping to conclusions, my
best and I sat down and talked about what we felt strongly about, and most
importantly about how we will not let this affect our friendship. We were able
to hear and respect the other’s opinions, and we came from a place of understanding
and love.
So here is what I have decided to do now that the election
is over: spread love. Remember that when tragedy strikes, we don’t run to the
President asking for hugs and support, we run to our family and friends.
Everyone is struggling and everyone is trying to make it through life, and hateful
words and actions from either side will not ease struggle, it will facilitate
it. On an average day in the country we are not sides, we are not parties, we
are human beings, and we are all just trying to do our best to get by.

Why Ignore the Red Flags?
November 1, 2016
Have you ever dated a guy who seemed great except for "X"? Have you ever made huge sacrifices for someone who just wasn't reciprocating? Have you ever dated a guy despite what your friends and family think? It's ok, we all have.
