BUSINESS LEISURE




Our title makes you think of leisure suits from the 70s, but seriously we couldn't think of anything that got the point across! (Great, now all we can think of is Randy Quaid walking around the super market in Christmas Vacation. Step away, step away. ) Anyway, this outfit was so obviously inspired by poppy delevigne it's not even funny. We're really liking the loose combo here with the loose T and relaxed fit trousers. This was one of our last late summer looks, but if you throw on a trim or even loose jacket (seen here at Paris Fashion week) it really could take you right into fall. Add some heels and a clutch and you're ready for business...leisure style :)

LEOPARD SHOES



Evidently we weren't the only ones who noticed the skirt and shoe combo. NY Magazine did as well here. You've seen us sporting our leopard shoes, but these here are definitely a bit more amped.

AUTUMN CASUAL - Military Green




We know it's starting to get a little cooler for shorts, but the weather is still fluctuating all over the country that we're still happy to bring these into fall. For instance, we're going to be in Austin TX next week and it's still definitely warm (which hopefully should justify my packing these shorts, but up until this point the country has definitely gotten cooler). Regardless, this outfit worked well for a drive through the canyon a bit ago. There's nothing like aspen groves in the fall. But let's get to the outfit. So military green. Yeah it's a HUGE trend that started this fall and is now going strong into the spring lines (if you walk into any Zara right now, you'll see that they've picked up on the trend heavily). So we're excited to showcase it in these shorts. Also, we modest dressers are going to like that longer shorts were also seen on quite a few runways. These are a tiny bit short, but I love that the cut is so different than the typical modest short. Shorts are Walmart (men's), t-shirt, Forever 21; sweater, Target; sunglasses, Topshop.

BURBERRY PRORSUM FALL 2012 - major inspiration













Some people over here are probably about ready to shoot the girl going on and on about Burberry Prorsum this week. Why? Because one of us just got a jacket that all she could think was "oh my gosh, this is just like something out of their collection, but at a fraction of the cost." So now she's super excited to start recreating looks in the same vein. Although the jacket looks more like something from the resort collection we showcased here, we had to finally show you the fabulous looks from the fall line. And to tell you the truth, we've been waiting a long time to show you guys this. Try since March. So look out, Burberry inspiration is soon to flood into these pages. We think it was our favorite collection of the fall.

YELLOW DRESS


And here is some yellow for your Tuesday. We happen to like the yellow and grey pairing. Might have to try it ourselves sometime.

OUR TAKE ON DVF SPRING '13



Proud to be breaking out some orange in the name of autumn. You guys probably think we're crazy for continually stressing the fact that orange has been very 'in' these last couple of seasons. And we're sure you won't be surprised when we tell you that it was ALL OVER the runways for spring 2013. Yeah no surprise there. Here's our take on an orange and navy pairing seen at Diane Von Furstenburg  2 weeks ago. And if you haven't been able to tell yet, that cuff is quite the favorite of mine at the moment. People are rarely seeing me without it these days.  Top, thrifted; pants, H&M; bag, Aldo; shoes, Chinese Laundry.
