Two exquisite shops, two contratsting styles.

A match that creates some aesthetical magic.

Simple meets Statement.

Just throw on a tee: the latest from stylemint

October 17, 2012

(all tops via StyleMint)

Lately I have only been purchasing items I know I will use to death and will outlast the trends. Its much easier to build a wardrobe that you can mix and match by using pieces that go with multiple items and can be worn both dressy and casual. I love layering pieces as you know:) I think what I love about some of the latest StyleMint pieces is that they are easy, comfortable, and timeless (not to mention affordable!). I joined this site a while back because after a short style quiz, they can show you pieces that best fit your personal taste. These pieces above are some that matched my style profile, and they were pretty spot on. That might also have to do with the fact that they were designed by style mavens, Mary Kate and Ashley Olsen;)

Which top best fits your style?

A funny thing about Atlanta in the fall…

There is a 20-30 degree difference from the morning till the afternoon.

This is why the only solution is to layer and layer well.

Obviously this is okay with me – its my favorite hobby.

How was your weekend?

I am a little bitter over the fact that it felt like a long day rather than a whole weekend.

I’ll get over it…

Fun things to share with you all this week. Stay tuned!

The True Beauty Files

A lookbook for the modern modeste.

“The beauty of a woman is not in the clothes she wears, the figure that she carries, or the way she combs her hair. The beauty of a woman is seen in her eyes, because that is the doorway to her heart, the place where love resides. True beauty in a woman is reflected in her soul. It’s the caring that she lovingly gives, the passion that she shows & the beauty of a woman only grows with passing years.”

~ Audrey Hepburn

Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Cookie Recipe

I can’t get into much pumpkin flavored anything, but these? An exception. We make these every October, and this year, Veronica requested to learn how. It’s fun to see our kids start picking up on those little efforts to create family traditions even in the simpler things. I updated this tried and true Pumpkin chocolate chip cookie recipe to share with you all!

Shop Scoop: The White Ribbon

October 10, 2012

I stumbled upon this etsy shop by accident, and immediately fell in love.

Michele and Dori are a London and Berlin based duo who started The White Ribbon.

With Dori’s background in fine arts and design and Michele’s industry experience, they are now able to create beautiful handmade flats in the coolest of colors and ship worldwide to happy receivers (such as me;)) These flats haven’t left my feet since they arrived. As comfortable as slippers!

You all will love some of the newest additions to their shop. Check out more at TheWhiteRibbon.com
