STREET STYLE - EAST MEETS WEST

Here's a cool mixture of east meets west. The structured jacket and long skirt have quite the kimono feel (along with the choice of up-do). But the brown accessories break all of that up a bit. We also happen to think that jacket is pretty cool. It reminds us of Miranda Kerr and her Dries Van Noten jacket. Want something similar? Although it's not exactly the same, Gap has a pretty good look right now. 

BLACK ON BLACK

This is a look definitely inspired by all of the fall runway lines. There was so much black and use of leather (think Calvin Klein) that how could one not take note? So here's what's going on here...Desirae is wearing black leggings, a black tent dress, leather moto jacket and combo boots. We are LOVING this similar black swing dress from Asos here and for $26, they've got us sold (plus the white collar is pretty dang awesome). Throw on a leather jacket and some combo boots and go out on the town funeral style!

ZARA NOVEMBER LOOKBOOK

Just in cased you missed it. 

(Eh hem...can we say a healthly dose of military?)

THREAD ETHIC VS H&M

Melody chose to showcase her thrifted tweed pants here. She found these and semi-freaked out that the pockets were leather trimmed! She fell in love immediately. Then after she put together this look, she saw that H&M put together a very similar look. Melody decided against the rounded white collar in this particular shot since she had already showcased it in another look, but believe us, all these elements had been worn a few times on tour before we made the H&M connection. We shouldn't care, but it's a happy accident that somehow makes you feel validated in your fashion choices :).
