DIOR FALL 2012


We've been waiting to show you these looks for a while now. But we figured we'd wait until it started getting a little closer to fall. We loved the simplicity of this collection. But we also LOVED the skirt lengths! This particular length has been seen for quite a few seasons now and doesn't seem to be budging. Which is great for we modest girls! Also you guys, you have to start belting your coats. Look how chic it looks? Also...see the enhanced hip again? In these looks it's done a little more subtly, but nonetheless it's still there. And finally, where to get a metal belt like that....

SHORTS WITH BLAZERS


OK so here's the shot with the hair. I had it way more slicked back at first, but it seriously looked like I was bald! I saw one picture and ended up giving it more height. But really I think it's our massive foreheads that make this particular hairstyle never work on either of us :).
    On with the inspiration. About a month ago we tweeted about how we saw an article in Vogue that talked all about wearing shorts with blazers. We got so excited that we couldn't wait to try out the pairing. We wore the combo for a while before it was finally shot for you guys, but we have to say that we think this is a great outfit for later summer. You know, the days where it's fairly warm out, but in the evenings it gets a bit cooler. I made the mistake of wearing this to an outdoor concert earlier in the summer and later regretted it with the heat. So definitely try it as it cools off a bit. We think then it will be more conducive to the weather. Zara blazer; Forever 21 shorts; Chinese Laundry shoes; Aldo bag; Forever 21 cuff; Kennecott quartz necklace and Tai Pan sunglasses.

MODEST LOOKBOOK - Lanvin


We just thought this was pretty dang classy...end of story. Lanvin's fall collection was definitely cool, but the bomber type top mixed with the flared skirt definitely took the cake for us. Also in a recent post coming up one of us tried to slick our hair back like so many girls do, and we just think it looks horrible on us. Do you guys feel like there are hairstyles that you just can't pull off? Please tell us we aren't alone....

YELLOWSTONE


What do you wear in Yellowstone? A big comfy blanket. Well to tell you the truth everything Melody wore was an absolute disaster because camping and fashion just do not mix. This particular morning pictured, you should be grateful that the outfit underneath was covered up by this hefty blanket. It was SOOOO cold that multiple layers of thermals, pants, sweatshirts and wool socks under hiking/water shoes, was of utmost necessity since staying warm was the priority. We woke up deathly early that morning to hear and possibly see the wolves in action (which we definitely did hear, but sadly couldn't see because of immense fog), that you are literally seeing Melody right after waking up (messy hair and all). We know that this is not a fashion post, but sometimes you gotta just leave it all behind. Being out with the buffalo wrapped up in a quilt hand-made by her Grandma Bea just felt right. Almost as though stepping back in time was the point of that morning. Seeing the bison and being out on the plains brings thoughts of settlers and native Americans to the forefront; where log cabins and teepees, quilts and furs were the essence of life. It's as though American history stares one in the face out there. And for a split second it's almost like you're back there. That's Yellowstone for you. We think you should go. We also think you should bring along a quilt.  You definitely won't regret it.

SAKS IN THE CITY - Plus Size Street Style

OK you guys so we've been noticing for a while that we've neglected a group of women who feel that the advice or looks we show on the blog aren't for them because they're body types are different. So often women feel that fashionable clothing won't look good on them because they don't have the "skinny legs for the skinny jeans" (which we've heard before). Or "if I wear a loose top it's just going to make me look bigger" is another one. Well we're here to say that some of the things we've been telling you DO work for many body types. Meet Sakina from Saks in the City. Her looks and written contribution are one of the newest additions to Vogue Italy called Vogue Curvy (and Vogue definitely knows what they're doing in picking her). We must admit we've been looking for a while now for a good plus size street style blog to no avail. Then we came across beautiful Sakina. And she's got it down. As we were going through her blog, we were choosing some of her looks to highlight and ended up with 17 looks and only made it through the beginning of the year! You guys, this girl knows how to dress, period. It just happens to be that she dresses perfectly for her size and body. Look at the great length of her jackets, the fit and cut of her pants, the looseness of her tops, the skinny cigarette pants, the leather jackets, the boyfriend jeans etc. She's carrying on all the current trends and doing them immaculately in plus size. She's not scared to put on a tight skirt, skinny jeans, or a full dress. We love her! We say you MUST follow her blog for plus size inspiration (or any size inspiration).
