Update Your Wardrobe for under $150

admin — Tue, 04 Nov 2014 13:44:44 +0000

When Sarah and Michelle told me I should contribute a post on fall fashions under $100, I thought, “Umm, well…like, actual good clothes that cost less than $100? Umm…” Which is not to say that I’m some rich snob who only wears $800 shoes. I don’t own any $800 shoes. C’mon, my last name isn’t Rockefeller! (And my husband reads this blog. Hi honey!) Ahem. So, no of course all of my clothes aren’t expensive, but I think I’m a savvy shopper: I find good deals, I tend to buy off-season items on sale and I never set out to shop for, say, a party dress. I see a dress that I love, I buy it and I find a party later. And I always find party worthy of a good dress. That said, I believe in investing in quality. When everything in your closet is well-made and looks good on, you always look good. So after I negotiated my baseline to $150….ish, I set out looking. I’m not going to insult our good readers’ intelligence by sending you to Forever 21 or Old Navy. You know they sell cheap affordable clothes. That tend to fall apart after a season. I’ve been […]

Zara Addiction

admin — Thu, 09 Oct 2014 12:50:27 +0000

Sarah is wearing: Zara Shift Dress, Zara Suede Knee High Boots, Hat, Phillip Lim Bag and Alexander McQueen Scarf. Zara has always been one of our top go-to shops for updating our wardrobe from season to season. Their pieces are classic, durable and look much more luxurious and expensive than they really are. It’s really all about how you put it together, how you feel in it and the confidence you exude when you wear an outfit you look and feel great in. Proof that you don’t have to break the bank to look flawless. It also doesn’t hurt that their online ordering is easy, their shipping times are super fast and returns are painless (super important when online shopping). We love to check out Zara and other brick and mortar retail stores whenever possible, but hasn’t online shopping become just a little too convenient? Our lives continue to get busier and busier and we find ourselves even ordering our cleaning supplies online (thank you Amazon Prime). When did we become too busy to step away from the iPad and drive to the store? Are we busy, lazy or just too spoiled that we demand everything be delivered to our […]

Carré Jewelry Feature & Giveaway

Michelle Martin — Tue, 24 Jun 2014 11:30:29 +0000

We are so excited to be one of the first in the US to feature a new favorite jewelry designer of ours plus a GIVEAWAY! Carré Jewellery, created in 1991 and based in Copenhagen is about to launch right here in the red, white and blue and we had the amazing opportunity to view the collections in person. Both of us picked our favorite pieces from the collection and styled them in our last outfit posts. Check them out here if you missed it! Michelle & Sarah We love how feminine these pieces are but the simplicity of the designs allow them to mix and match to any personality and style. Shiri Haugbøl, the founder and creator behind the magic, “feels passionately that jewellery speaks for itself in its own characteristic and individual way, respecting the natural structure of precious stones.” Their jewelry is infused with genuine pearls and precious stones, which are inherently unique. Which means no two pieces are alike. Each piece is exclusively made using precious metals: 10 and 18 carat gold, oxidized sterling silver and 23 carat gold-plated sterling silver. We love this line because there is really something for everyone with a variety of price points. Carré is the classic term for […]

The Perfect Summer Sweater

We seriously are obsessed with this new cream Rag and Bone sweater. It’s the perfect “Summer Sweater” because it’s light weight and open for the warmer weathers with great coverage for the breezy nights. We went for a monochromatic look here to elevate the sweater with a clean, effortless yet put together outfit. Outfit Details- Sweater: rag & bone; Pants: rag & bone; Shoes: Duo; Bag: Coach; Belt: Brave; Necklace Details: Marrin Costello & Jennifer Zeuner; Sunglasses: Ray Bans; xo Sarah & Michelle
