A Trip Down 95 to RVA

Michelle Martin — Tue, 14 Oct 2014 13:03:12 +0000

My husband and I took a trip down 95 to RVA to met up with some old college friends for the weekend. That, coupled with the fall weather, had me reminiscing about those care free days when I would throw on a college hoody, skinny jeans and a pair of Uggz. Yes, I know how cliché that is and I’m not going to lie…I still own a pair and still wear those Uggz when I walkthe fur-baby below 30 degrees. Don’t judge. Well as I mentioned, the overcast skies, scattered showers and brisk, cool weather in Richmond made for perfect cozy, sweater weather. My favorite go to in the fall now is a silk or denim button down shirt layered under a chunky knit sweater. This simple combo creates an effortless element to any fall look and if the weather brings a surprise warm up, you just shed a layer! I added my new joie crepe joggers to complete the look which was perfect since they are incredibly comfortable and perfect for weekends like this. We were sad to say goodbye to our RVA friends after such a relaxing weekend and, although it had me feeling nostalgic about college, I’m glad to say my […]

Zara Addiction

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 […]

Light Spring Layering

Michelle Martin — Tue, 08 Apr 2014 11:37:11 +0000

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
