BELTED PLAID COAT

This is a thrifted coat that you might remember and that you'll probably see again soon. Once winter ends up hitting you start seeing our coats multiple times. That's why we're kind of obsessed with outerwear. It's the one thing you end up wearing EVERYDAY. So we're big advocates of thrifted pieces (so you don't end up breaking the bank). We're also huge advocates of putting really big sweaters under jackets which we'll be showing more of soon (to help break up wearing your warmer coats daily). This particular piece we've been loving belted.

GOLDEN GLOBES 2013

Michelle Dockery in Alexander Vauthier

Nicole Richie in Naeem Khan

Kristen Bell in Jenny Packham (maternity gown)

Wow, we've both been super busy that we somehow actually MISSED the Golden Globes (it's been a while since that happened).  But here are some of the most beautiful gowns of the night, in our opinion. Michelle Dockery up top is absolutely stunning. We're not quite sure if there is a nude lining underneath the bodice, but we sure are hoping there is, because we just love the look and cut of that dress. Did we miss any others that you guys liked?

MATERNITY SWING DRESS

Here is Desirae's last maternity look. This one reminded us of the 50's/60's swing look that you see Lucile Ball don a lot through her pregnancy on "I love Lucy". We loved the wider tent-like top with the skinny jeans. Although this dress is from H&M a few seasons back, we are loving these...here and here (this last one with a cardie over it). It's weird to think that Desirae's pregnancy is over! Hope you've enjoyed some maternity looks through the past months....

WINTER ROAD TRIP

So Melody took a road trip last week with her husband to Oregon.  Since the Thread Ethic lens has been buried, it was very sad to leave the camera behind. Thank goodness for the camera phone! So they're just pluggin along through this winter wonderland, stopping along the way, when they come to the sign above. We've never seen a horse sign before. We thought it was weird, but we kept going. Seconds after this, we saw a big bunch of horses on the road. Melody thought maybe they were let loose from a ranch nearby, but we were on a wildlife preserve. Then the trusty fellow next to her (yeah, that's a husband) remembers watching a documentary about wild horses in Nevada. Sure enough, we were crossing through NV. No horseshoes on these buddies. These guys were born wild and free. It was AMAZING to come to this realization. Why were they on the road? They were going crazy over the salt put down for the ice. Seriously, one of the coolest moments ever. Oh and lastly, Melody's wearing a plaid coat from a boutique in China, but we are loving this one. And for a higher priced coat, this Burberry one is fantastic. 

OUR BURBERRY PRORSUM INSPIRED LOOK

What can we say? We told you we've been very inspired by the many looks from this post. Here we are taking after a specific look from Burberry Prorsum's fall runway again. The jacket and fur collar you've seen us sport before but paired with a t-shirt, longer sheath skirt, grey textured tights and black ankle boots you've got a pretty warm dressy/casual look. Melody wore this to a wedding luncheon the other day and thought it a good outfit for wanting to be dressy, but not overly dressy. We think the Burberry owl sweater is much more fun, but the screen tee will totally suffice. 

Zara Military inspiration

This look was very much inspired by Zara's November Lookbook. You can see the look that got to us here. Obviously the Zara coat is amazing, but we'll live with our H&M military jacket. And these are the ripped jeans Melody keeps talking about. Should they be retired? Hmmmm....
