Relax, and have a Cup of Jo [Relajate, y toma un cafe.]












Alright, we totally understand. It's Wednesday, you're ready to say "TGIF" but we've still a few more days in the work week left to go... so rather than feeling bogged down by work and what seems like a long work week, "Relax, and have a CUP of JO" or in the words of Criss: "Relajate, y toma un cafe."

Can't you just SMELL it?

besitos amigos!
Mal and Criss


ps. When the day is done, feel free to partake in what we like to call "Wine-Down-Wednesdays" and uncork your fav red or white. If you're feeling frisky, pop the bubbly!

the girl can dress.











Why We Love Olivia Palermo:

  • She takes risks.
  • She's not afraid to mix silver and gold in one look.
  • She's always on trend, but knows how to stay true to her own style.
  • Last but not least, she's always confident and classy.

A little inspiration to kick off the week - as if Russian VOGUE hasn't already pumped us up not only for the week but for this Fall! This style expert seems to ALWAYS get it right. If only we could peruse through Olivia Palermo's closet...

sleepless in Charlotte.




First off, let me just start with the fact that I am OB-SESSINGGGG over this look. From head to toe, the colors, the tailoring, the headpiece [not so sure I could rock it, but I love it]. Everything about this look is so ridiculously fun. If only this was hanging in my closet right about now...

So lets chat. It's 5am and I, for some reason, absolutely can not fall back asleep. Going to bed at 10pm this evening I thought how great it was that on a Saturday night I was actually going to get some rest and wake up bright and early to start my day. Ha. Who was I kidding? Some how.. I found myself wide awake at 330am tossing and turning trying desperately to fall back asleep. After two hours I realized that just wasn't going to happen right now. So here I am, browsing the web to bring you amazing street fashion and inspiration to your daily lives and mine too of course! 




Color crushing at the moment. And uh, the studs - ahhh-mazing. From the zippered denim to this studded bag, I'm currently having a hardware crush as well. These details are absolutely doing it for me... clearly pointing out my closet needs a new piece or two! {wink}



Anna can do no wrong, I mean. Seriously.


Yes, I love the Olsen twins. Who doesn't? A. They love their boho-chic. B. We have the same birthdays and C. Well, I just think they're fabulous - along with their line, THE ROW. 

Alright loves. It's about 6am - I think it's time for me to try to get some more shut eye, either that or I'm going to have to kick it into high gear and do something truly productive... like work on my portfolio - not likely at this hour to be honest. Or - re-organize my closet, a task that can always be done again and again. Either way, I still can't get over the fact that I am WIDE awake at 6am on a Sunday for no apparent reason at all. 

Here's hoping I can fall back asleep...

Mal



Ps. Happy Sunday!

Peace, Love, and Flare Denim.




























Key Ideas:

  • Rock out your seventies look with a pair of flairs
  • Show off your waist by tucking your blouse in.. you can do a billowy blouse or a fitted button front - as long as you tuck it in! 
  • Accessorize with stacked bracelets, big earrings or a necklace and of course a few rings!
  • Top off your look with a wedge or clog


ps. sick of blue denim? Mix it up with this Fall's hottest color: RED! I am absolutely obsessing over red right now, I literally can not get enough. Chatting with our friends about this one... I'm clearly not the only one on the red bandwagon.

p.s.s. Not in the mood for jeans at all? Try a lace, long sleeve-mini dress. LOVE it!

Mal
