Happy MLK Day

Here's to diversity in life, people, and design.

Happy Day After Thanksgiving

It's so fun to find inspiration in random things. These are freshly cut beets being prepared for Thanksgiving dinner. Cool, right? Be safe out shopping today!

Happy Halloween

Happy Halloween! We thought it would be fitting to share the costumes of some big names in fashion. These are no costumes from Party City! Hope everyone has a wonderfully spooky and creative night. Boo!

Happy New Year (Eve)!!!!

This lovely image was found on Mary Ruffle's tumblr, discovered through the addicting site of Pinterest. It's exactly how we feel. Here is to 2011 and all the wonderful dreams that comes with it.

Time to get ready for your big New Year's Bash! We can't imagine any New Year's celebration to be complete without...yep, you guessed it....sequins!!!! Normally we aren't big fans of these sparkly little doo- dads, but New Year's is our fabulous exception. So for us, go out and get a dress that will put the disco ball above you to shame!

A Look Back

Images found on the Vogue Archives

Now to the official count down to the New Year. Time to be nostalgic about the quickly passing Christmas festivities. We decided to look back too. Way back. Here are some December issues of Archived Vogue covers. How we love the days of these simple, yet statement making covers.

Merry Christmas!!!

Lake Tahoe in the Winter

5. Modcloth boots 6. Top Shop leather bag  7. Rag & Bone floppy hat

Andrea is off to Lake Tahoe with the family for the holidays. Like Montana, Andrea is going to need to bundle up. We had fun choosing the items for a nice night out on the Tahoe town. She may not be wearing these items skiing, but she will definitely be wearing heeled boots for a dinner by the roaring fire after some tumbles out ice skating!

A White Christmas in Montana

Gail is off to Indonesia and tomorrow Sarah catches a flight heading to Montana. The weather in those two places couldn't be more different. Sarah is going to need to stay nice and cozy for the snowy state, so we put together some nice and warm (but stylish!) options for her. Here's to a very, very white Christmas. Tune in tomorrow to find out where Andrea is spending her holidays!

Renegade Craft Fair

We had a busy weekend! The Renegade Craft Fair was in town and this time it was holiday specific! We were overjoyed with all the fantastic artists that were there. One of our favorites is Jill Bliss. Her art style is unique and playful and can't help but make us smile. We saw lots of others there as well, including shops that were new to us. Sarah discovered The Harbinger Co. and got this week's Must Have Item, a beautifully crafted honeycomb necklace.

Paper Mache for the Weekend!

Rhino from Anthro

Here's something to do this weekend! Paper mache! Inspired by Anthropologie's ornaments, we thought this would be a great post for a Friday. Paper mache brings back so many wonderful memories as a child. What better time to be nostalgic than the holidays, right?

Deer from Mollie Green

Birdie from West Elm

Here are some more cute ideas for paper mache. If anyone would like to make us a paper mache deer for our wall, please, feel free!

Sarah's Wish List

Jacket can be found on TheOutNet, Necklace can be found on Pink Mascara, Stylit can be found on

The holidays are fast approaching and if you have yet to finish shopping, our here is our final spread of personal gift choices. This one comes from Sarah, designer and voice of this blog. (Hello!) As you can see she wants lots of nice things and would like Santa to bring them all to her. (She would also like to stop talking in third person.) So cheers, to all you shoppers out there. Hope these items inspire!

Happy Monday! Here is our last Holiday Gift Guide and this time we didn't want to leave anyone out. These gifts are great for all ages, boys and girls alike. If you like these items, you can find more at the stores they were nabbed from. The Curiosity Shoppe in San Francisco is full of neat and eyebrow raising  (in a good way) gifts for everyone on your list!

Ta-da! Here is our second installment of our personal gift choices, our lovely head of production's wish list.

Because of her talent, compassion, and bubbly attitude, we hope that she receives everything she desires!

Holiday Gift Guide: For the Fellas

Poker Set is from Jonathan Adler, Sunglasses are from Ray Ban, CD is from Amazon, Coasters are from
Uncommon Goods

Here's round two of our holiday gift guides, and this time it is for the gents. Inspired by Jonathan Adler's bright and colorful poker set, we decided to make this a "poker night" theme. This way you can distract your men for a night free of shopping with the girls!

They've Got it Right: Jonathan Andler's Manifesto

Over the weekend, we came across Jonathan Adler's manifesto. We love every bit of it. What a great outlook on business and life. Their whimsical character is carried into their products that they offer. Don't you just want to give a bucket of calories to your neighbor? Or how about the playful menagerie ornaments for you aunt? Or how about give it all to us? Yeah, that sounds lovely...

Gail's Wish List

Nia Coat found at All Saints, Fox Print found at The Animal Print Shop, Vase found at
Merchant no. 4, Fox Candle found at Anthro, Sheep Necklace found at Christine Domanic

We told you we would be sharing our personal wish lists! So without further adieu, here are is our textile designer, Gail's, gift choice collage. These are fantastic gifts for any stylish lady. Since Gail is the chicest of them all, we hope that she receives everything on it! When she does, perhaps she should keep her necklace and fox print in different rooms. We wouldn't want the sheep to go missing in the middle of the night!

Holiday Gift Guide: For the Ladies

Hat found on Goorin Brothers, Dress found on Desigual, Shoes found on Endless

Feast your eyes on the first round of gift ideas, with many more to come this month. This one was done just for the ladies, but hey, if you think your brother would rock the hat, all the power to him! We picked these lovely items because they are bright, happy, and PRINTED! We definitely want these in our closets, along with lots of other yummy goodies. Sprinkled among our upcoming posts are going to be our personal gift choices. It was so fun making our collages, we hope you enjoy viewing them as much as we enjoyed creating them!

Color, Color Everywhere!

These color stories are so warm and inviting, you are going to forget all about the traditional red and green when decorating for the holiday season. The yarns are even ornaments! We love color and think that there should be an abundance of it during December. So go forth, and decorate with color!
