Designer Spotlight: 52 Minutes with Marrin Costello

admin — Thu, 17 Apr 2014 13:15:58 +0000

We were lucky enough to meet with rising jewelry design star, Marrin Costello and her fabulous director of marketing, Jaclyn McKethen in DC a few weeks back. After a few cappuccinos and lattes our energy started flowing and we got to talking about MARRIN COSTELLO as a brand, who they are and what they are striving for in this industry which places them apart from their competitors. We felt like little girls playing dress up in mommy’s jewelry box, trying on different pieces and lusting over the next one that caught our eye. However, this was real life and we were being styled and layered with jewelry by the designer herself! All of MARRIN COSTELLO’s attainable luxury pieces are designed and handmade in LA with love. Each piece we laid our hands on had the perfect mix of edginess while still feminine, which allows for endless possibilities with future outfitting! You can see in Marrin’s designs that she has an appreciation for genuine artistry and craftsmanship. With an entrepreneurial background and a passion in accessories starting at a very early age it only made sense to turn her hobby in to a business after her studies of Art History and Egyptology […]

Light Spring Layering

The sun finally made an appearance this weekend and we were very anxious to make our way outside. There were a few chilly breezes, so we were really feeling the layering pieces for this post. I always feel most confident when adding a blazer or leather jacket to an outfit to pull together a complete, effortless look which can easily be dressed up or down (depending on the shoes and accessories, of course.) We chose flats and a statement necklace as we took Louis on a walk before heading off to brunch to enjoy the weather. Pictured above- Jeans: Zara bf Jeans. Top: Enza Costa. Blazer: Rag & Bone (similar here). Shoes: Alexander McQueen (similar here). Bag: 3.1 Philip Lim. Pictured Above – Jeans: rag & bone. Sweater: Enza Costa. Jacket: Gap. Necklace: Nocturne (similar here). Bracelet: Proenza Schouler. Bag: PS1 medium. xo Sarah & Michelle

Crop tops for Spring 2014

It’s kind of hard to believe that Spring is only 8 weeks away as I glance out side to a snow storm that I was not quite ready for with temps in the high 50’s just the other day. In DC, inclement weather usually results in an early work dismissal which allowed me time to pull out my laptop and casually browse New York Fashion Week’s Spring 2014 trends and everything that we have to look forward to. Every week until Spring finally arrives, we are going to showcase one of our favorite trends that we can’t wait to style! The crop top is hands down my favorite trend for spring 2014. I love the fact that it can be styled in so many different ways and for all ages. From a hip down town city girl to a sophisticated lady like ensemble. Here are some of our favorite takes on this trend. Let the inspiration begin! Now time to tone up those abs w/ 8 weeks to go! Or you can always just layer the look 😉 xo
