The Ladies of the J.Jill Catalogue Discuss Food

(from the Ancient Archives, Circa 2017)

9AM (Manhattan; photographer’s loft in the West 20s)

Lyndsey (wearing a Crocus Pure Jill Linen Kimono): You guys! I saw this AMAZING recipe for cauliflower with balsamic and pancetta on Facebook this morning!

Meredith (wearing an Orchid Pure Jill Cap-Sleeve Sweater Tunic): Oh. My. GOD! I freaking LOVE pancetta! My mother used to make pancetta and macadamia nut stuffing at Thanksgiving! Just a spoonful and a glass of wine and I’m in HEAVEN!

Claire (wearing a Bellini Long & Light Cardigan): I might have some New Caledonian macadamia nuts from the Union Co-Op in my Frye Amy Light Ochre Crossbody bag.

Harper (wearing a Floral Knit Maxi Dress of Black Trailing Daisies): Will the three of you stop talking about food already? (Laughs quietly) Food! Honestly…

Quinn (wearing a Light Plumberry Faded Striped Button-Front Shirt): Is it too early for wine?

ALL: Quinn!

11AM

Lyndsey (wearing an Amethyst/White Yarn-Dyed Linen Big Shirt): Ladies: can we talk about cheese for a minute? I had a sensational Saint-Nectaire recently, with a quiet Chenin Blanc, and I haven’t been able to stop thinking about it.

Meredith (wearing a Parfait Pink/White Yarn-Dyed Linen Big Shirt): Yum! You're such a "foodie"! I love cheese! And olives! But mostly cheese! I’m not going to make it to lunch!

Claire (wearing a Peapod/White Yarn-Dyed Linen Big Shirt): I might have a jar of mixed red and green Cerignola olives from Erewhon Market and some homemade sea salt water-biscuits from Whole Foods in my Pure Jill Straw Pouchette!

Harper (wearing a Deep Blue/White Yarn-Dyed Linen Big Shirt): I like to carry an antique wooden squash racket in my Pure Jill Dip-Dyed Light Ochre Linen Bag and just feeling it near me squashes my appetite! But, really, who plays squash? Am I right, ladies?

Quinn (wearing an India Ink Tie-Front Top): What the fuck time is it?

12:30PM

Lyndsey (wearing a Printed Linen Buttoned-Hem Dress with a Shrimp Painted Garden pattern): I guess we’re working through lunch, bitches!

Meredith (wearing a Lavender/White Yarn-Dyed Linen Button-Hem Dress): I’m starving! I could eat an entire porterhouse steak slathered in maitre'd butter all by myself!

Claire (wearing a Grape Silk Shirtdress): I think I might have some Thrive Market “Totally, Oh My God!” Super-Organic carrot sticks in my Black Tassled Bucket Bag with the Light Ochre drawstrings. 

Harper (sporting a Wearever Pintucked Printed Tank Dress with a pattern of Black Lovely Lilies): I need only to turn my head slightly and smile - and then I don't feel hungry anymore! (Turns head; smiles) See?

Quinn (wearing Sea Salt Live-In Chino Cuffed Shorts and a Grey-Heather/White Eyelet-Border 3/4-Sleeve Tee): I would settle for a really big glass of cabernet that I could sip quietly, sitting on the stairs, alone… in the darkness, alone with my thoughts.

3PM

Lyndsey (sporting White Pure Jill Slim Crops and a White Pure Jill Easy Tank): I know it’s getting close to dinner time but I can only think about dessert! Double chocolate hazelnut biscotti!

Meredith (wearing White Pure Jill Slim-Leg Pants and a Slate Blue Perfect Cami ): Stop it! Stop it! You’re tormenting me! I freaking love chocolate! I’m going to faint and dream of chocolate!

Claire (wearing Sandbar Linen Slim Crops and a White Pure Jill Easy Tank): I think I brought some Carob Spirulina Energy Squares from Park Natural & Organic Foods. You can check my Frye Melissa Light Ochre Hobo bag.

Harper (wearing a Black Wearever Petal-Hem Dress): All I need is a gentle breeze in my hair and the morning dew of a thousand Irish clovers from the Limerick countryside to moisturize my skin and that's my nutrition for the entire day.

Quinn (wearing a Black/Grey Heather Striped Layered Dress with Black Ankle-Length Leggings): You make me want to eat a gun.

5:30PM

Lyndsey (wearing White Slim Boyfriend Jeans and a Parfait-pin Perfect Tank): Okay, girls! Best meal you ever had! For me, it was wild Scottish pheasant with apricots and dates, drizzled in Grand Marnier with shaved black truffle; served with spätzle and wild mushrooms! That was ten years ago… I was on location in… where was it?

Meredith (drops to floor, on her hands and knees, wearing Slim-Leg Utility Jeans in Dark Caper and a White Perfect Cami): I’m so hungry, Lyndsey.

Claire (wearing White Essential Cotton Stretch Pants and a Pomelo Perfect Pima Elbow-Sleeve Boat Neck Tee): We really shouldn’t be discussing food during a photoshoot. Ever. I have to sit down. I think I have some Pure White Willow Bark Capsules in my J.Jill Light Ochre Leather Shoulder Satchel.

Harper (wearing a Wearever Printed Boat-Neck Top of Black Lovely Lilies): Light-headedness makes me smile more.

Quinn (wearing a Black Wearever Smooth-Fit Pencil Skirt and a Sterling Two-Pocket Linen Shirt): Somebody check on Meredith. Are we done here? (Starts walking out) I hate all of you. God, I need a drink.
