YOUR FALL WADROBE ON ETSY
11.20.08

Do you Etsy? If not, you’re missing out on some fully stocked vintage stores with goodies to fulfill your fall and winter wardrobe requirements. Allow us to demonstrate:

etsy maroon lace jacket/dress

Lace should have been on your shopping list a while ago. While black is hot, we dig this maroon and cream jacket dress for its originality.

etsy sequin dress

Sequins are everywhere right now. Lucky for you, many stores have a variety of pieces from the 80’s (the era of sequins). This dress is one of the more subtle pieces, and even has a great keyhole back.

etsy vintage fur jacket

If you’re gonna do real fur - go vintage. This coat is in amazing shape, and your animal loving friends won’t hate you as much for purchasing fox fur from the 70’s.



 
 
VICTORIAN MODERN BY EYOLA
11.03.08

Normally when we hear ‘Victorian Modern’, we think Goth. We think dark colors and lots of lace. We think… hmmm… not so much our style. But then we found Eyola and we thought… wow.

eyola1

Gorgeous detailing in the Victorian style, yes. But it’s modern, clean, and totally wearable.

eyola2

Not to mention sassy! They describe themselves as “the combination of elegance, audacity and creativity,” which sounds just about right to us.

eyola3

We’re loving almost every piece from these talented London designers. For more on their designs, check out their website and get ready to indulge.



 
 
HAUTE OR NOT: TRACY ZYCH
10.13.08

We’ve been seeing black Kane Bag from Tracy Zych on the pages of almost every major fashion mag this month. So we wanna know…

Black Kane Bag

Do you think it’s Haute? Or not? Would you rock this fringe look, or are you over it?



 
 
WE <3 WELLIES!
08.25.08

Fall is coming. And rain? Well, maybe in other parts of the country. But since when has the reality of weather ever stopped us from pretending like we have seasons here in LA? This year, however, we’re ditching or Uggs in favor of even less necessary footwear: Wellies!

burberry wellies

The Burberry Plaid is always a classic, but we also like this vamped up version with stud trim and high gloss.

hunter boods

Sometimes with a trend like this, it’s best to go classic. We’re big fans of the Hunter Original Wellingtons in a variety of colors, or could also go for the Hunter riding boot. Either way, these styles will have staying power in your wardrobe.

bright wellies

If keeping things subtle is not your style, then these boots are for you! Take your pick between the bright yellow (and highly coveted) Loeffler Randall’s, or faux patent red by Aquatalia.

Bring on the rain!



 
 
COLOR CODED SHOPPING
08.20.08

May was yellow…

RGB berlin yellow shop clothes

and June was Red…

RGB Berlin Red Clothing

And in July the crew from RGB in Berlin decked everything out in blue.

RGB berlin blue decor

We love this shopping concept: at RGB they cram art, fashion, design, music and a bar into one space (we’d never have to leave!), and they change the color scheme out every month to keep it fresh.

What’s next for the creative duo of owners Lina Müller and Anne Meister? Turquoise for August, Pink in September, Orange in October, Green in November and White in December. Plan your shopping accordingly.



 
 
YUM YUM YUM
08.14.08

Sometimes, a girl’s just gotta shop:

stella mccartney, jimmy choo, mawi

We’re in the mood for rich fall tones, and this dress from Stella McCartney is just the fix we need. A chunky gold woven bracelet from Mawi is just what we need to add a little edge to our everyday ensembles. And those shoes? Well, really they need no explanation. Jimmy Choo python gladiators. Could they be any more perfect?



 
 
PROJECTION PERFECTION
08.13.08

We’re heading into the last months of summer, which means taking advantage of every second we have to be enjoying the great outdoors. And, thanks to this awesome little gadget, now you can treat friends to dinner and a movie in your own backyard…

ipod projector

An ipod video projector!?! Why didn’t we find this sooner? The ViewSonic projector hooks up directly to your ipod, making playing downloaded videos and shows a total breeze.

dinner and a movie

A little backyard BBQ and film premier? Sounds good to us.



 
 
GEARED UP
08.05.08

Part of our Olympic prepping includes some easy pieces to relax in while watching the athletes go to it…

retro olympic t-shirts

For the girls - a comfy retro Olympic logo t-shirt from Asos. We’re partial to the LA ones ourselves.

nike gold olympic retro shoes

For the boys - Nike goes for first place with their “Olympic Perforated Metal” sneaks. (via highsnobiety.com)

Throw on your favorite pair of Hudsons, and you’re good as gold.



 
 
FALLING HARD…
07.24.08

Maybe it’s the cool mornings we’ve been having here in LA, or the fact that we’re so excited about our fall line we can’t wait to pull on some boots with our new skinnies, but we are seriously ready for next season’s fashions. To help get you in the mood too, we’ve done a little window shopping…

jill sanders patent bags fall

Jil Sander’s patent collection features some gorgeous hues of the season’s more muted jewel tones - a deep teal and fabulous burgundy.

chloe boots marc jacobs clutch

Nothing says fall like warm shades of brown leather. Our picks are a pair of lighter caramel equestrian boots from Chloe, and a Marc Jacobs foldover clutch in contrasting browns.

metallic dress lela rose la petite

Of course, we’ll need to pick up a new dress for the season, and we’re loving the subtle metallic look in these two dresses. On the left, La Petite S*****, on the right Lela Rose

Are you in the mood yet? We thought so.



 
 
BLING YOUR TOOTH
07.01.08

No, we’re not talking about the latest styles in grillz. But we are talking about one seriously tricked out bluetooth accessory.

amosu diamond bluetooth motorola headset

Starting today, California state law (along with several other states) requires you to be hands free when you’re rollin’ in your Range…er, we mean hybrid. So, if you’re going to be rockin’ the earpiece, you might as well do up right with this diamond encrusted collaboration from Amosu. After all… this is LA…



 
 

Because we’re not just about denim. Because travel and culture are necessities, not luxuries. Because style is an evolution. Because art and inspiration are around every corner. Because we love to indulge, and we're nice enough to share. Welcome to our world.
