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!

Unsure how to wear this look in the winter? Here's how...

If you click the link up there, you'll see that a dress like this would cost you some bigger bucks.

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 :).

RAWARDS - Salt Lake City

Come out tomorrow for one of the biggest nights of art in Salt lake City! The RAW organization (a national arts organization dedicated to finding up and coming artists on a grass roots level) is having their annual RAWards tomorrow at 7pm. There you will be able to vote live for the best in film, visual artists, performing artists, clothing and accessories designers, hair and make-up artists, musicians and photographers in the state. All the while, you get quite the event - runway shows, bands, gallery strolls etc. Those that win will go on to compete on the national level held in L.A. in January. Come show your support not only for the artists, but for the state of Utah by helping us send the best of the best the state has to offer. If you come, one of us will be judging so keep an eye out.... Hope to see you tomorrow!

HERRINGBONE JACKET

Desirae's maternity look today was very much inspired by an article she saw in Vogue showing fashionistas sporting turtlenecks with layers of necklaces. The rest of the look was formed in hues of grey with a loose fit turtleneck on top and skinnies on bottom. We know snow has set in for a lot of the country, but these bow tipped pumps are Zara (from a previous season). We can find Louboutins, Lanvins or Valentinos that look similar to these all day, but as far as a lower price point shoe, this is the closest we could get. The jacket is also from a previous season, but we know there is one that looks very similar at H&M right now. 

Also as a side note... for all you ladies going through the maternity fashion dilemma, here is a great article we found about Rachel Zoe's awesome maternity style. She gives some REALLY great tips on how to stay stylish while pregnant. Here's an extended version that abcnews picked up. Enjoy!
