An Interview with Jilly and Sally of sorelle in style

Ciao, bellas. We are le sorelle. In true sisterly fashion, we share laughter, we share stories, we share secrets, and of course, we share (or, more truthfully, steal) each other's clothes - and now we're sharing it all with you! Because after all, 'what's the good of news if you haven't a sister to share it?'

This interview was published on Thursday, November 17, 2011.

How did you come up with your blog name?

Jilly and Sally: Honestly, it was a collaborative effort between the two of us and our Mommy. "Sorelle" means "sisters" in Italian. We are sisters. We believe we are all "sisters in style," and thus, "sorelle in style" was born!

Who or what has been your greatest fashion influence?

Jilly and Sally: Our Grandma and our Mommy have been our greatest fashion influences. Growing up, we were always inspired by their timeless, effortless style (not to mention, their enviable wardrobes!).

Three things in your closet you cannot live without:

Jilly and Sally: Jilly: My old Citizens of Humanity jeans, my watch, and my Lululemon pants (seriously, best gym pants EVER) Sally: My DL 1961 jeans, my Ralph Lauren riding boots, my Chanel bag

What are you currently grooving to?

Jilly and Sally: Jilly: Maroon 5, Adele, Michael Jackson, Jay-Z Sally: The entire Watch the Throne album, anything Benny Benassi, Kid Cudi

What inspires you?

Jilly and Sally: Jilly: Fellow bloggers, and pretty much the entire J. Crew catalog. Sally: Magazines, blogs, and old family pictures - trends really do come back!

Do you have a favorite fashion era? What did you love about it?

Jilly and Sally: Jilly: Right now, I'm loving the 70s. The pants, the prints, the colors! Sally: I don't really have a favorite era - I prefer timeless looks that transcend any specific period.

In your opinion, every woman should own:

Jilly and Sally: Jilly: A good raincoat! One with a hood is a must. They make rainy days bearable! Sally: A practical bag that can be worn day or night!

A woman's most beautiful feature is her:

Jilly and Sally: Jilly: Attitude! Sally: Confidence!

What 5 items do you always have in your purse?

Jilly and Sally: Jilly: Burt's Bees lip balm, my wallet, a mini mirror, my sunglasses, my camera. Sally: A good lipstick, my cell phone, my camera, my phone battery, a mirror.

Do you keep your older clothes or do you like to keep your closet small and organized?

Jilly and Sally: Jilly: I try to keep everything - seriously, my closet is borderline Hoarders.. Sally: Organized!

People would be surprised to know that I...

Jilly and Sally: Jilly: ...am the older sister! And I'm in law school. Sally: ...don't own a pair of plain black shoes!

What's your latest obsession?

Jilly and Sally: Jilly: Miu Miu glitter booties Sally: Trenta Passion Tea lemonades
