KATE IN ROKSANDA ILINCIC

photos c/o Wenn

The Duchess looked stunning as usual in one of her repeat dresses by Roksanda Ilincic. She was attending the UK's Creative Industries Reception at the Royal Academy of the Arts two nights ago when she decided to break it out again.  The last time she wore this dress was on her U.S. visit to L.A, with her hair down (here). And of course, it surely is a great dress to repeat! It's totally classic, yet still current. We might need to find something similar....

ROCHAS RESORT 2013

So pretty right? Such a wearable collection. We say everyone should have a LWD (little white dress) like the one up top. Seriously, if you get a classic one, you will definitely wear it your whole life. We were also happy to see elements of this look of ours in the second look above. Although ours was paired with metallic and tights, the same sweat shirt like top could easily be paired with lace and sans tights. On the third look, we haven't yet taken part in the printed pants (because it is SO trendy at the moment and we'd rather spend money for more classic pieces), but we do like the ease in which they paired the pants again with the sweat shirt top. Further down, the lace dress is beautiful and you can find similar looks on Ebay like we did quite often. And finally, we love the last punk/50's look with the t-shirt and gown. Pretty cool.

RED DRESS AND CHAMBRAY SHIRT

Why not take our dresses and tie shirts over them? This is one of our favorite chambray shirts which you've seen plenty of times, but it's so nice to know how versatile it can be. We are now loving the ability it has to tie over our dresses. So if you run out of skirt options, try a dress! No one will know the difference. H&M dress, Forever 21 shirt and platforms. 

MADEMOD - Online highlight

,

OK, so if you're anything like us, sometimes you get frustrated when you're online shopping and you have to sift through myriads of clothing that doesn't quite fit your needs. Meet MadeMod. They are a new site devoted solely to more stylish modest clothing you can find all over the internet. They just make it easy for you by having it all in one place.  For example, we have to admit, Land's End is not usually an online store we shop, yet that chambray dress is quite nice and definitely within a great price range. We haven't heard of Ruche either, but that top is awesome.  So we say definitely take a look over at their site. It's a great time saver!

SKINNY JEAN CUT OFFS

We don't quite know how our brother will feel about this, but here's the story. Some of you have asked what we wear on a daily, nowhere to go, kind of basis. We decided to highlight this type of day and do a quick blog shot after one of our long group rehearsals. This is where our brother falls into the picture (quite literally). He came running from afar and before we knew it, was fake posing in the shot.  Many of you probably don't think about it, but we (and every other blogger who photographs) must look pretty ridiculous. We're just asking to be made fun of :)

But aside from all that, most of this outfit is Forever 21 old and new (and there's a close up of the $7.50 F21 flats). Very easy. The skinny jean cut off we're sporting here has been quite the trend with guys as of late. But not many girls have taken it on. Denim cut offs have been seen all over with celebrities, but the trend is to pair shorter cut offs with baggier shirts. But we actually like a bit of length on the shorts since we think it helps in the slimming process, unlike Miley here (who is truly thin). So why not grab a great pair of skinny jeans, cut, fray a bit, and even roll the hem like the guys? Why should they get the length and comfort while we risk showing most of our booties? We say girls should take it on too. But remember our unspoken rule of pairing tight with loose. This will keep you on trend with the celebrities.

FRIDA GUSTAVSSON - Impeccable street style

This girl certainly knows how to put an outfit together.  How would you guys define her style? It definitely has an edginess to it with a mixture of urban sophisticate and a sort of boho chic. Kinda difficult to put a label on her... which ultimately is great! We love how she mixes things effortlessly. She's not afraid to pair something prim with something unexpected. Man! We can't imagine having a model's life...you have to be on your A-game before and after every show since bloggers are now out in force. For example, almost all of these photos are from Stockholm Streetstyle (an awesome blog that we will definitely highlight sometime). And when you've got great street style, you show up all over the internet. So all power to miss Frida for having some great style. Oh and by the way, if you happen to do a google image search on her, you'll notice that almost everything she wears is pretty covered. Just shows you wear fashion is right now. And lastly, notice the yellow and black pairing in the final picture? We think this is an awesome pairing for fall, meaning, we really think you guys should go and get the Eshakti dress talked about here so we can all wear the same outfit come fall!
