A Cup of Joe.

 I think I have rambled about this before, but I love Joe Purdy. He is an amazing American Folk singer-songwriter that has released 10 albums in 8 years. He has worked with Pete Townshend and is someone you should travel far (if need be) to see live. 

No matter where you live, find your local Hotel Cafe, The Cutting Room or McCabes Guitar Shop and go support live music.

Let’s start a movement.

handmade selections

We have major spring shopping fever. We would love to add these handmade items to our lives.

Happy Trails.

Question: How fun would it be to go to a party and be able to perform trail mixology??

Answer: Very.

funnies

We are totally cracking up at Dyna Moe's illustrations of hipster animals. We definitely know some of these characters. Check out her tumblr, and now she's selling shirts with some of the best drawings, too!

music for your Monday

On Saturday we attended an event that absolutely blew our minds. Cinefamily and LA's Natural History Museum threw a huge party to celebrate a screening of Werner Herzog's 3D film Cave of Forgotten Dreams. Not only did we have late night access to all the amazing exhibits at the museum (hello gem and mineral room, you made me seriously crave some exotic crystal jewelry) but there were tons of amazing bands and dj sets. Here are a couple of our favorite bands from Saturday night.

tee shirt of the week

This laser cut tee is absolute perfection, and it's just the right thing to pair with our Beach House ruffle sandals.

sandals: Beach House available at BC Footwear

Get Your Color On.

the weather is getting warmer (hopefully) and what better way to get in the mood for a new season then to add a little brightness wherever possible. 

art imitates fashion or so the saying goes.

steal her look: Nicki Minaj

She earned the respect of Kanye West and Jay Z, and is a legitimate solo artist with a record of her own. Nicki Minaj is not only a queen of rhymes, she is an out of this world fashion icon. To quote the always original Nicki, "You should never be afraid to become a piece of art, it's exhilarating." Nicki professes that her essential fashion item is a pair of flat knee-high boots, so we created an outfit inspired by Miss Minaj, featuring BC Footwear's "In The Mood" boots. And of course we had to include lots of tricked out accessories and Nicki's trademark Barbie pink.

rock n roll crush

T. Rex is one of the best rock bands of all time. PERIOD. We're rockin out to this classic to get us through the mid-week slump.

holga goes to NYC

on our most recent trip to NYC we took the Holga camera out to play...here is a little bit of what we captured running around the streets on our great adventure!

all about the hosiery.

London rocks in general but when London Fashion Week rolls into town, it brings the city to a whole new level of fierce.

Jo Lynch, of WGSN captured some fashionable folk walking outside of the fashion week events. Winter weather brings out layers and funky tights. It was a MUST share.

Which ones would you rock??
