Who are 5th and Jane

5th and Jane is a chronicle of our 19 year friendship and a tribute to the endless hours we've spent collaborating and cultivating our personal style. Our blog name is based on the streets we live on in Manhattan.

While that may sound a bit frivolous, we are also women who are trying to "have it all". We are both successful professionals in our respective fields, active community leaders and most importantly, we are moms! This blog is a labor of love that serves as an outlet for a passion that we both have, but is literally accomplished between appointments, play dates and in the wee hours of the night.

5th is in the business world and a mom to a 5 year old little boy. Her look is two fold. For work, she's as fly as professional allows (sometimes one would say she crosses the line, wink). Her work wardrobe revolves around Shoshanna, Stuart Weitzman, Theory, Tory Burch and Diane Von Furstenburg. Her street look is a uniform of skinny jeans, motorcycle boots, rocker t-shirts and leather jackets. Her favorite labels are J Brand, AG, Jimmy Choo, Wildfox Couture and Veda.

J is a doctor and mom to 3 year old little lady. She describes herself as a capricious fashionista. Her look is subject to whim and often unpredictable. One day she's boho-glam, another park avenue prim. She lives for Celine and Chanel handbags, is BFF with her shoe guy at Saks and loves the french labels, Sandro, Maje and Zadig & Voltaire. J loves a bargain and has the miraculous luck of finding the unbelievable on sale.

We hope that the blog serves as a little dose of inspiration on what to wear, what to buy and an affirmation that you can be a working mom who rocks her look or at least tries to!
