TEXTURE TWIST
Plain surface: boring. Textured surface: AMAZING! Nobody likes to get a plain old greeting card; everybody wants the crazy one with all the glitter and pieces that fold out! Especially the glitter part. Same should go for some of your clothes! Fabrications like flannel and lace add highs and lows to your look, and creates a richer sort of feel, especially when layered. Just be careful...

3rd Wheel
Your outfit might be cute. It might be so easy, breezey and trouble-free. But take one more look … does it need that one extra oompf? (Here’s a clue: IT DOES.) But before you start piling on the accessories, consider tossing on a 3rd piece sweater or light jacket to top off the look. Nobody likes a 3rd wheel; unless it’s completing your look! It’s the luxe way to layer.

HAPPY HOUR(S)
Work life balance? We’ve got you covered! Run down to the local restaurant before those precious hours between 4-6 pass by, and take advantage of some of the daily specials: wine, apps, and wine are our favs! On the menu for our outfits are: sweaters (who knows how late you’ll end up staying), a quick up-do, and an over-sized bag (it gives the illusion that you went to the gym during...

Fall For White
We just found our favorite pair of white denim. They fit right. The pockets are perfect. And the stains from happy hour are right where we left them. And you’re telling us Summer is OVER?! We think not. Take your white denim or chinos on a ride into Fall by disguising them with plaid and greys. They lighten up the darker tones usually associated with a trip into the back half. In...

HOT PANTS
**UPDATE** Our lovely photographer felt inspired by this post and decided to wear her own take on the look. J’ADORE!!
Skirt: J Crew, Shoes: Banana Republic Mad Men, Shirt: Banana Republic
No, they’re not micro mini cuffed shorts. They’re not even frayed daisy dukes a la Jessica Simpson like you might be hoping. They’re just your average pair of denim and chinos, but...

What a Girl Wants
While HIS is away living the dream in NYC, HERS decided that a new bag would make the perfect companion. After careful research, and hours spent trying on every bag imaginable at Barney’s, the Rocco bag by Alexander Wang rocked HER world!
Now HERS is just one step closer to becoming an Olsen twin :)

Printed Pants
Printed pants and shorts have been traipsing down runways for a handful of seasons now: this Spring Dries Van Noten showed exotic ethnic prints, Etro showed paisleys, and HIS + HERS showed accidental wine stains. These days, however, this forward look has cracked through the 4th wall of the high fashion hierarchy and is landing on streets near you! Sometimes it’s amazing! And 3 hours...

Adult Swim
It all sounded like the perfect idea. We were going to make the perfect pool party adult beverage called “The Swimming Pool” (equal parts pineapple juice, coconut juice, vodka, light rum and Blue Curacao Liqueur) at our friend’s parent’s house on a sunny day in Pleasanton. We grabbed supplies for the day (the aforementioned ingredients, 20 friends, spf 4 tanning lotion, and floaties for...
