Whiskey & Navy.

We dig our Tassel oxford flats. They can be dressy (exhibit A) or completely casual and everywhere in between. 

We love this look too, as it pairs rich whiskey with navy blue which always ends up well, don't you think? Note to self (and all of you) - add a fierce pair of tights to this and you're golden for any type of weather. 

Happy weekend.

Ode to Rachael Yamagata.

Rachael Yamagata is a singer-songwriter hailing from Arlington, VA. She has collaborated with the likes of Ryan Adams, Ray LaMontagne, Jason Mraz and Toots and the Maytals to name a few. 

From a personal perspective, her voice is hauntingly beautiful and one we could listen to over and over. Her new album, Chesapeake dropped today and we thought we'd share it to celebrate. 

Rachael's album inspiration, (in her own words)

"The songs are deep but not sorrowful and there is a sense of humor in some that can only come out when you are sleeping in a tent and considering the name ‘Frankenfish’ for the album title, but Chesapeake won out and Frankenfish became the name of my label. Midway through recording the album, we had a listening party bbq tonight where one person said to me that the songs sound like I’m in control of my own life now and I think she is right. Chesapeake has been made with a lot of love in the room (and tequila) and like the Frankenfish that can swim and walk on land is surprising the hell outta me."

Take a listen for yourself.  

D.I.Y. Goodness

Embroidery thread is pretty much our favorite craft supply around here. There's nothing you can't make with it: friendship bracelets, festive pots for your household plants, and now thanks to Katie of Lemon Jitters, hair combs! Check out her super easy tutorial for turning a drab drug store accessory into a one-of-a-kind beauty.

The Story of Hallelu

We love working with our amazing retailers all over the country. The crew behind Hallelu Boutique in Wrightsville Beach, North Carolina is no exception. We already adore them, but this charming video about the origins of the boutique totally gave us butterflies. (Keep an eye out for some amazing BC Footwear sandals making a cameo at 3:13)

From the desk of Jordan

Jordan was born and raised in East Greenwich, Rhode Island, and spent her childhood collecting shells and drawing. As an illustrator, Jordan's interests primarily concern geometric patterns, autumn, hand lettering and, of course, cute boys. You can see more of Jordan's work right here.

Warm Tones.

Our THESAURUS boots in olive green are rad and to celebrate we styled an outfit around them. Inspired by a warm color palette, we went for ethereal meets outdoorsy. (You were thinking that too, weren't you).

What do you think? You dig?

trend watch: TURBAND

While we're sad to bid farewell to some of our favorite summer staples (cut off shorts, minidresses, we'll see you next June) we are excited to jump head first into fall and one of our favorite new accessories this season is the Turband. A blend between a turban and headband, the turband is just the thing to hide a bad hair day and keep your ears warm! Here are some of our favorites. Take your pick.

It's Monday.

It's Monday and sometimes you need a little inspiration to start the week off right. Today we were inspired by Fall, Florence and a funky, kitschy poster stating the obvious. (is the song stuck in your head now?)

What about you? What started your week off right?
