While summer is coming to a close, our love for white's and summer brights are not fading anytime soon. Last weekend Ivy put on this pretty lace number for a day of hanging out with family and friends at our house. This dress is prefect for formal occasions like baby showers and graduation parties but just throw on a black leather jacket and this classic dress turns edgy! We're not a fan of rules, so wearing white after Labor Day is just our type of rebellion!

A Trip to The Pumpkin Patch

Outfit Details:

Plaid Shirt Target | Jeans Uniqlo | Vest Le Tote | Chelsea Boots ASOS | Cascade Earrings Kate Spade | Clutch Imoshion

Visiting a pumpkin patch in October is one of our favorite things to do. One of our favorite places to visit is Earthbound Farm's Farm Stand which has pumpkins in every color, shape, and size imaginable! We like visiting this market and cafe all year round, but we love it during the fall when they fill the grounds with pretty pumpkins, corn stalks, and other autumnal decorations. Ivy wore a warm quilted vest, and plaid shirt for this trip. She paired it with this super cute clutch from one of our new favorite brands, Imoshion. We love this brand because we are big animal lovers and Imoshion only features vegan leather bags. Although its not real leather its almost identical in look and feel! We also love that all their bags have pretty fabric lining and tons of pockets to stash our lipsitck, glasses, and other goodies. Did we mention that all of their bags are less than $50?!?! Definitely keep this brand on your radar! Previously, we have shared some of their other great bags here, and here, and here

Moss Green Dress for Fall

Outfit Details:

Dress Noir Le Tote | Necklace Jessica Simpson (similar here)| Purse Jessica Simpson Le Tote | Sandals Sam & Libby

Here in California, the beginning of fall is still pretty warm. We can still wear dresses without jackets and heeled sandals instead of boots. Although we can't wait for cooler weather, we still enjoy that we can sit outside and have a glass of wine without turning on the outdoor heat lamps. Last weekend had perfect weather for wearing a knit dress and drinking wine at one of our favorite hotel bars at The La Playa Hotel. We sipped on crisp dry sauvignon blanc and watched the sun start to set.

Farewell Summer

Outfit Details:

Dress Octavia Le Tote | Shoes Sam and Libby Target | Necklace Gorjana Le Tote | Purse Sondra Roberts Le Tote

It's starting to cool down here in Carmel Valley. Although "Fall" weather here is still about a month away, we are finally starting to get in the mood. Over the weekend we decided to grab a quick snack at one of our favorite spots in the Village, Corkscrew Cafe. We sipped on bubbly rosé and nibbled on roasted garlic and toasted bread. Ivy wore this lovely plum colored dress as she transitions her wardrobe from bright colors of summer to autumnal gem hues.

Stripes in The Vines

Outfit Details:

Dress CeCe  | Shoes Prabal Gurung for Target (sold out similar here and here) | Bracelet BCBCGENERATION Le Tote | Lipstick Maybelline Superstay 24 in Always Blazing

This past weekend Ivy attended her friend Casey Frazier's new album "American Exotic" release party at Folktale Winery & Vineyard. This was an evening event pouring Folktale wines with a cart set up for all-you-can-eat tacos! Ivy wore this cute black and white striped dress and paired it with cherry red heels and red lips. The dress has small cutouts on the sides giving this classic look a twist.

Ivy paired her outfit with one of her favorite red lipsticks from Maybelline's line, Superstay 24. Superstay 24 are our go-to lipsticks for events, especially ones where we will be eating and drinking a lot. First apply the liquid lipstick color and let it dry for 2 minutes. Then apply the moisturizing balm and you're good to go! It does't come off on wine glasses and you don't have to check the mirror every 5 minutes to reapply. Plus they have so many amazing colors!

The music was great and the weather couldn't have been better. To preview/purchase some of Casey's music click here. American Exotic will be available soon!

Bohemian Summer

Outfit Details:

Dress Revolve | Necklace Clement | Bracelet Lucky Brand Le Tote 

Its been two weeks since the Soberanes Big Sur fire broke out in our hometown, and the smoke has been intense. Although it creates a pretty orange glow to the light and sky, the air quality isn't healthy. We were planning for a weekend laying by the pool but with the air being so smokey we decided to do a little wine tasting (surprise surprise). Ivy wore this luxe bohemian dress that went well with the smokey hews in the valley. She paired her dress with some silver and turquoise jewelry to add to the casual boho look. The brand of this dress is "The Jetset Diaries" because the clothing line is suppose to be quintessential to any jet-setter's wardrobe...and we agree! The material is light, breathable and perfect for long summer days, yet chic enough to wear from day into night. What's even better is its on SALE right now! If you have Le Tote you can get it on sale here or head over to Revolve here to get your own!

Denim and Blush

Outfit Details:

Jacket Cupcakes and Cashmere Le Tote | Skirt KUT from the Kloth Le Tote | T-Shirt Target | Shoes Target | Bag Sondra Roberts Le Tote | Bracelet Clement Le Tote | Rings Forever 21 (similar)| Watch Timex

Ivy has been using Le Tote for almost 4 full months and is OBSESSED with it. There are so many trending items on the site we love and are excited to try. The best thing about Le Tote is you can try an item and send it back after wearing it once or as many times as you'd like in a month before deciding if you want to buy it (for a discounted Le Tote price) or send it back. This is perfect for women trying to find new pieces to add to their wardrobe and for those who just love having a change of clothes without the full cost. It's like having an awesome roommate who lets you borrow her clothes (plus you don't have to stress about getting it back quick and clean)! It only cost $59 a month for unlimited boxes. Each box comes with 3 garments and 2 accessories. Ivy usually goes through around 4 boxes a month so that equals 12 pieces of clothing and 8 accessories to test out a month. How cool is that?!?

From this week's box, Ivy picked a light weight jacket, and this trendy denim skirt (note: the skirt runs big so go a whole size smaller then normal). Ivy has a zip front suede skirt similar to this denim skirt seen here, but she really wanted to get her hands on a denim skirt without having to commit to it before trying it out. She paired these bold pieces with a simple loose boyfriend t-shirt to make it a more casual look.

Tribal Prints for Spring & Summer

Outfit Details:

Jeans Uniqlo | Top BB Dakota Le Tote | Sandals Zara (similar here and here) | Purse Under One Sky Le Tote | Necklace Lat & Lo

With the warm breeze blowing through Carmel Valley this past weekend, we could feel summer's closeness. We just can't wait for the summer heat! Although it's getting warmer out, in the evenings you still want to wear jeans. Ivy picked this cute tribal top out on Le Tote to pair with these super comfy heels. They are just high enough to feel dressy, yet they won't kill your feet. Despite the top being long sleeve it is made with a light and airy material so it doesn't heat you up. We think this top is great if you want to wear tribal prints but not be too overwhelming. We paired it with this cute fringe bag because we adore everything with fridge right now. Ivy's necklace is from Lat & Lo, a latitude and longitude jewelry line. This one has the latitude and longitude for Carmel Valley, our home town! Our parents got us each one of these necklaces to remind us, wherever we are in the world, home is where the heart is. These are great for gifts for anyone, and perfect for high school grads moving away for college in the fall!

I Scream, You Scream, We ALL Scream for Ice Cream Patterned Clutches!

Outfit Details:

Dress Octavia Le Tote | Sandals Target | Clutch Imoshion Le Tote | Necklace (similar) | Ice Cream Halo Top

Theres almost nothing that Ivy loves more then ice cream (ok, obviously champagne), or really anything with cream involved. When we saw this cute clutch on Le Tote we had to get it! The print is so fun and gets us in the summer mood. Ivy paired it with this olive green dress so that the clutch really "popped". It put us both in the mood for some ice cream...

We recently tried out a new ice cream brand called Halo Top. We are obsessed with their chocolate and strawberry flavors. The chocolate tastes like an extra creamy fudgsicle and the strawberry was super yummy too. Halo Top is a "healthy" ice cream - low in sugar, carbs, and calories, and packed with protein! One pint of this stuff is only around 250 calories so you wont feel guilty for finishing the whole thing! Ivy wants to try the mint chip flavor next, while Eve has her sights set on birthday cake!

Sunshine & Lemonade

Monterey County is home to so many great local businesses so its hard to be anywhere and not have a good selection of restaurants and shops to visit. So when we payed a visit to Pacific Grove (locals call it PG) recently we had to stop in at Happy Girl Kitchen Co.. They are home to some of the tastiest preserves, shrubs, and pickled goods around! All made with fresh organic local produce. Ivy purchased a lavender lemonade to take on the go as we walked around PG. It was so yummy and refreshing!
