Coney Island

 

On Melissa:

Pill Box Hat- H&M

Pearls- H&M

Jacket- Free People

Shoes-Zara

Jeans-Rock and Republic

This look was inspired by Jackie O, but I tired to modernize it with the jeans.  I tried to keep the  essence of her past beauty with the pearls, lipstick, and pillbox hat.  She is one of my favorite fashion icons so i thought I'd pay tribute to her.

Yes, we do look in pain. This was caused by the fact that it was incredibly WINDY.

On Aubrey:

White Sweater- H&M

Printed Scarf- H&M

Tee- Express

Belt- Zara

Dark Denim- H&M

Heels- Bakers

Bow- American Apparel

The look I was going for here was little girl meets bright yellow highlighter. I saw this darling little bow first on http://www.manrepeller.com/. The hilarious blogger behind this site wore it in a maroon and I though what a cute way to make an outfit a little more interesting. This is my first real attempt at spring colors on our blog. I have become on slightly obsessed with color and color blocking so look forward to lots more:)

On a side note, I was considering maybe displaying some of my fashion sketches on our blog. What do you guys think?

These are genuine laughs here, I could not get over how incredibly windy it was. My hair had a mind of its own.

We took advantage of a beautiful day and little work to do for once to visit Coney Island. These are the pictures we took, hope you enjoy. Thanks for stopping by! We wish every one of you a lovely day:)

Designer Discovery

At the Fashion Girls Love Japan sample sale I found these spectacular legging by Future of Classics.  I had heard the brands name in passing before, but didn't know anything about it....so I did some research.  Future Classics was founded in 2000, by London based designer Julie Wilkins who is mostly known for deconstructed jersey pieces, but she designs knitwear and soft tailoring pieces.  The brand has shown at Paris and London Fashion Weeks and is quickly gaining recognition.   Julie was a painter, and a singer/songwriter before she became a designer. These leggings perfectly represent the brand the kinkiness of the latex, spices up the classic legging and the best part is they are unbelievably comfortable. These leggings are definitely a new staple in my wardrobe.

 This blazer was an amazing find by a designer called Erik Hart. I had never heard of him before and I was curious. I found that he is a designer/artist/photographer. Evident? I think so! This blazer is a work of art, the asymmetry is super interesting in the collar and check out the subtle show of skin in the sleeve cap. Best part about this? It's super light weight so I can wear it into summer:)

Jeans- Guess

Peep toe Heels- BCBG

Owl Necklace- thrifted

Earrings- Aldo
