Spring Neutrals

With the onslaught of Spring comes a bit of chilly wind and rain. Although we didn't have rain, we did have some intense wind the day we shot this. These days are exactly when you want a good trench coat. We both own trench coats and we both know that we will be using them for the rest of our lives. When an article of clothing has been classic for so long, you can guess we both will spend a little more money to make sure this piece is in our closets. Our jackets are from Banana Republic and J. Crew (you can find similar here). Although Melody felt a tad guilty one year when her husband gave this to her for christmas (the words, 'oh babes, this is kind of expensive' were some of her first), you can bet she has worn it every spring and fall since she got it. Oh and the rest of the outfit is Zara. Keep the color pallet light and airy and people will feel like Spring just walked through the door.

Beautiful Celine

Here is the last preview from us for Fall 2013. We referred to this collection from Celine in the hitchcock post, but we have to admit, this was one of our favorite collections of the season. Such clean and simple lines, yet completely sophisticated and modern-looking. We loved the use of over-sized coats (think the 60's) and the trumpet skirt silhouette. One of our favorite looks is the bigger chunky-knit sweater paired with the knee length trumpet skirt. Definitely inspired. We may have to bring these fall silhouettes into our Spring transition outfits. So nice. And who would've thought the peplum with the trumpet would be so pretty?

Pleats and Leather

As we've mentioned earlier, we're glad midi skirts are here to stay for a bit. This is a vintage pleated piece that Desirae has chosen to pair with her black leather jacket. The look sort of  reminds us of Zina's chiffon pleats and leather pairing here. So don't be afraid to take the preppy pleat and button down and pair it with some leather to make it more edgy. The prep/edge concept also takes place here with Alexa Chung's look.

Happy Spring!

Happy Spring everyone! This was taken from yesterday's festivities. We feel this is kind of the essence of the holiday (although in a very secular sense). Funny enough, we didn't take any outfit posts. Just took a much needed break (the music side of our lives is killing us off slowly).  Hopefully your day was as warm and sunny as ours! (oh and why don't they make this little DKNY dress in our size?)

Diane Kruger in Preen

 
Diane showed up in this fun Preen dress the other day on Good Morning America. Ah man, it makes you want the summer nauticals to be in full swing!

Easter Sunday

This is the week of unusuals for the two of us. Desirae was joking when she wore this that she was wearing a  Melody outfit. Why? Because she rarely wears longer pencil skirts. We don't know if there is an exact reason behind this, but she just never does (similarly to Melody never wearing tunics). So here is our week of unusuals. We doubt Desirae will go so prim on Easter Sunday (it's just not really her style), but it doesn't have to stop you all. Victoria's Secret pencil skirt, Forever 21 ombre top, Zara heels and clutch. 

Happy Easter to you all this weekend!
