TRAVELING OUTFIT

Some people may think Melody is crazy for picking this look for her traveling outfit, but there is a reason behind it. The downside of skinny jeans, is that they are not the most comfortable things to sit in for hours upon hours on an airplane. So when Melody came across this skirt (similar here), she was pretty excited. She loved how long it was since so many maxi skirts seem to feel a bit short. She paired the look with her beige, super comfy cashmere sweater, the grey motorcycle jacket you've seen myriads of times and navy chain bag. It was 10 degrees that day and the cashmere/jacket combo worked. Of course she wasn't walking around a big city. That's when everything changes.

MILITARY JACKET AND FUR

By the end of this season you will have seen Melody's fur collar with almost every jacket or coat in her closet. Why does she love it so much? Because it changes the look of her fall jackets and makes them more wintry. Put a warm sweater underneath and things are gettin' pretty toasty even though it's freezing outside. Also, make sure you have a really warm pair of tights in your arsenal. Bare legs in the winter is absolutely painful when wearing skirts. We suggest something like these or these. Or how about fleece lined tights? Don't mind if we do. Our tights are SUPER warm and almost feel like leggings, which makes wearing a skirt in the winter nice. Also don't forget about a good tweed skirt! This one is awesome and totally on sale. We suggest you get one since it's a really classic piece that will NEVER go out of style. The one Melody is wearing is from H&M and going on almost 10 years!

NAOMI WATTS EVENING

You guys were right! We missed one! Although the back was a little low, this Zac Posen dress was quite amazing. We're wishing we had performed on his runway this year so he could gift us this dream of a dress. Oh well. Having any Posen evening wear in the closet is seriously out of this world.

BELTED PLAID COAT

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....
