friends & fall.

Nothing better than some good friends and fall fashion, on a beautiful day in our Happy Valley home.  Clearly, we love to rock the oversized sweaters, combat boots... and hmm, black leggings, can you tell? Xoxo

5 Fab trends from the 90s, that we're wearing again...

It's true - most of today's fashion trends are inspired from back in the day... and I mean way back.  So when your mom says "We used to wear those back in my day!", she's not kidding.  Personally, I love it.   Being able to wear a jumper or overalls with a pair of cute floral tights, knee socks and Dr. Martens... makes me feel like a little girl again.  Some trends will never fade, or is it that they just repeat themselves?  Knee socks, jean jackets, overalls... take a peak at some of these fabulous trends of today, that your mom probably has shoved away in her closet! 

1. Jean Jackets - The denim decade is back! Vests, blouses, jackets - perfect over just about any outfit.

2. High Waisted Shorts - The best trend to ever take over the fashion world (in my opinion).  High waisted everything, all day everyday... This trend can hang around for a while.

3. Overalls - Could not be happier to see overalls featured all over my favorite shopping sites.  Literally adorable - with tights, cute boots, converse.  Absolutely love this 90's rebound.

4. Knee Socks - This look reminds me of a 90's catholic school girl outfit - throwback!  Love a pair of knee socks with booties and a cute little dress.  It's the perfect accessory and accentuates your legs!

5. Dr. Martens - Think these are those shoes your parents would wear to work because they're "comfortable"? You're right - now they're a top trend.  Doc Martens are perfectly adorable with a skater skirt or sun dress... just bought my own pair from Urban Outfitters, and I'm in love :)

 

The beauty of reliving these 90s trends is that you can most likely find some of these, if not all of these, at your local thrift store.  There's nothing more rewarding than a golden find at a thrift shop.  Vintage fashion, at an affordable price... game on.

7 Essential Jackets For Your Closet This Winter

The Green Jacket  

The military green jacket - a staple for every wardrobe.  It's versatile - Wear it over an over sized sweater, a fussy blouse, or a graphic tee with a pair of broken in combat boots.  Or even throw it over a casual dress with a pair of vintage sneakers for that street style look.

The Classic Black Peacoat

 

The best part about a black peacoat - it's always in style.  Find the perfect shape, size, flair, and fabric to make it your go-to piece for dressing up, going to work, or just strolling around the city.  Keep it classy.

The Bold Raincoat

Perks of a rainy day - getting to wear your cute rain coat!  Bold, bright and fun - it might make that dark and depressing day just a little bit brighter.

The Parka

 

Girl vs. Cold - you'll stand no chance without a parka.  Marching through the snow in the middle of January might just be a little more bearable with one of these. Warm, cozy, and still totally fashionable.

The Black Leather Jacket

 

The black leather jacket says "Don't mess with me" - it's edgy and bold, yet basic.  Rock it out with a graphic tee and some black ray bans, or pair it with a frilly sun dress to toughen your look.

The Shopping Coat

 

You've gotta look fabulous, to feel fabulous - and what's more fabulous than a shopping day in the city?  Everyone needs a fun, "personality" jacket in their closet for those retail therapy days.

The Fur Coat

 

Nothing says fashion forward like an over sized fur coat.  Perfect for those crisp snowy days, with your favorite pair of black heeled booties.  Sharp, cozy, and perfectly adorable.
