HANNELI AND TAMU IN VALENTINO


In case you missed it, this picture started circling around the internet right after the Valentino Couture show in Paris a couple of weeks ago. Both awesome bloggers Hanneli and Tamu (from All the pretty birds) attended the show wearing similar Valentino dresses. Even their bags and shoes were similar! And seriously, both are such awesome dresses that we couldn't resist sharing. We're so loving the cuts on these....

SAFARI SCHOOL GIRL


When we looked at these pictures for some reason the words, 'safari school girl' stuck. So we went with it. The skirt and cable knit sweater somehow brought images of the school uniform to our head, while the messenger bag and color combo sort of reminded us of safari wear. And what better way to mimic the safari feel of the Michael Kors Spring 2012 runway? We actually think the next time we pull this skirt out we'll go for the whole safari effect. We'll let you see the results! 
Vintage cable knit sweater, Chinese boutique skirt, Forever 21 sandals, and boutique messenger bag.

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!
