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.

Red Jumpsuit for Summer

Outfit Details:

Jumpsuit 1 State Le Tote | Booties Steve Madden | Backpack Kenneth Cole Le Tote | Lipstick Maybelline in Always Blazing

Red has been a color Ivy loves to wear for a while, and yes part of it may have been because of Taylor Swifts album Red, but it also complements her fair skin. This jumpsuit is fun since it is a little different than any other jumpsuit we own, it is loose on the bottom and cropped above the ankle. The bodice is reminiscent of a tube top. Ivy paired it with this cute minimalist backpack and booties to not distract from the jumpsuit. Red is a perfect color for all seasons, but we think this look would be the perfect pop of color for a summer bbq in the park.

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!

Chambray for Summer!

Ivy's Outfit Details:

Eve's Outfit Details:

Jumpsuit (similar here and here) | Bra Victoria's Secret | Sandals Sam Edelman | Clutch (similar) | Sunglasses Ray-Ban | Bracelet Tribe Alive

 Chambray fabric was made for summer. Its the perfect fabric to wear when you (like us) love denim but it's too hot outside to wear.  Whether you are looking for something to keep you cool, or need a light extra layer (we love layering chambray button ups with summery dresses), chambray will do the trick. Eve and I decided to go out for a casual Sunday glass of wine at Cowgirl Winery in Carmel Valley last weekend. The weather was nice but there was a bit of a breeze so I picked a long yet thin cardigan to go over my chambray dress. We love layering a long cardigan with a short and sassy dress. ;) This dress is perfect for a casual day look, and perfect as a beach coverup. Eve wore a chambray romper that opens in the back. She paired it with a fun strappy bra. This romper is perfect for a day to night look in the summer when the evenings get a little chilly. Dress it up with strappy heels for summer going out look.

Denim and Blush

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.

Plum Picking Perfect!

Outfit Details:

Dress Anne Klein | Watch Timex | Ring Macy's (similar) | Lipstick Maybelline | Hair created with Bed Head Wand

Almost every June, Ivy housesits for one of her oldest friends. It's always a treat to stay at their home  because they have a beautiful estate with rose gardens, lemon trees (literally about to break with the weight of the huge lemons) and one big plum tree also about to break from the bountiful crop. This year was perfect timing. Ivy picked several bags of plums and enjoyed plumb crumble with some and made the rest into plum jam. It was a hot day, so Ivy picked out this vintage style dress with polkadots to wear as she walked around in the grass picking sweet plums. What a perfect summer day!

Cabi Spring 2016 Collection

Cabi is a clothing brand that was built for women, by women. There are no Cabi stores, instead you can schedule a time for a Cabi fashion consultant to bring the line to you! We had our friend Michelle as our stylist.  The idea is to host parties and have all your friends come over for a fun "fashion show" shopping experience. We love hosting Cabi parties and have done it several times now! Its nice to look at the clothes and get opinions of your friends in a comfortable environment. Plus, its a great excuse to open a bottle of bubbly, and set out some tasty treats!

We LOVE the Cabi spring collection this year! Its full of bright colors, light weight material, and tons of perfect items for your spring and summer getaways.

Here are some of our favorite items we found:

 

Ivy's Look One:

Asymmetrical Tank | Villa Pant | Dolce Charm Necklace

I love these pants so much! I haven't always like this style of pants, and frankly I don't own any, but when I tried these on I fell in love. They are light weight and have a nice shape that doesn't make them look too "balloonie". The pattern is super fun and I pictured myself wearing them as I stroll along the Seine this summer. I added these to my wardrobe without a second thought. Oops! 

Lexie's Look One:

Yacht Top | Paired with her favorite jeans

I have always liked flowy tops which you can pair with skinny jeans for a cute yet casual look. I like to have a lot of clothing options while traveling and this is super lightweight and won't take up much room in my travel bag. This would also make an awesome coverup at the beach or poolside!

Ivy's Look Two:

Boat Stripe Dress

This dress not only looks chic, its also SO soft, like most Cabi clothes. I saw this dress online when I was looking at what Michelle might bring. I definitely had my fingers crossed that she would bring this dress. The design is flattering on everyone! We had my mom try it on after me and she looked amazing in it too! It gives off a casual yet elegant look you can dress up or keep simple. 

Lexie's Look Two:

Explorer Vest | Long Sleeve Double-V Tee 

We love this vest, and it is totally in trend right now. The olive green color looks great on every skin tone. I would wear this around town or when I need an extra layer but don't want the bulk. The included "x" loops so you can pair it with a belt too. The Long Sleeve Double-V Tee is one of our absolute favorite items because it can be used to layer under so many things, and it is as soft as a cloud. We are tempted to use it as a sleep shirt its that amazing!  

Ivy's Look Three:

Vineyard Sweater | Villa Necklace

Both Lexie and I adore this sweater. Not only do we love the name (hehe) , but we love the unique length and pattern. The material, cotton and acrylic, is fitted to the body yet still flowing. This piece is great for layering! I paired it with the Villa Necklace for a pretty everyday look. This necklace is seriously cool, you can keep it long or shorten it and have two super cute matching bracelets. You get four pieces in one! 

Lexie's Look Three:

Portico Shrug | Lagoon Necklace

This shrug is so perfect for spring!  Spring is one of the major times Ivy and I wear bright colors, with the weather warming up and colors blooming everywhere we get inspired to be a little more adventurous. I paired these two items together because they complement each other so well. 

Our Mom's Looks:

Crop Top | Run Around Skirt

This combination looked so great on our mom. The crop top is not what most young people would call a crop top because it is much longer, and doesn't reveal as much. It has a nice asymmetric cut out on the bottom that adds flair. The skirt is flattering on everyone, and for women who want something a little more edgy then a plain black maxi skirt this is for you. Doesn't our Mom look fabulous!
