Sanctuary in the South of France…Oh la la

Posted on by

With our Southwest festival days behind us, we are now setting our sights over seas for the next adventure. Where you ask? Ohhh…the South of France! Oui! It’s time to live out the inspirations of Sanctuary in April and needless to say, we are very excited.

Working on the packing list, we’re going to need:

Shorts

Warm Reds & Pinks to match the color pallet of St. Tropez

Chic yet Comfortable shoes

A throw over your shoulder & go bag

Sunnies

and of course: jewelry, sunscreen, bronzer, hats, sundresses, bikinis, and a light jacket for breezy nights.

Here’s a quick look what’s getting packed, right now along with a little foreshadowing of what’s to come…bicycle riding with the sun in the sky and wind in our hair…

Sanctuary in St. Tropez

We’ll be working our way down the coast through the vineyards, gentle valleys, fields of lavender and olive groves as we leisurely approach St. Tropez for some sun and beach days.

Sanctuary in Coachella Style Guide – Weekend 2 / Day 2

Posted on by

One of the artists we have really grown to love over the past few years is Grimes. Her ability to combine so many different elements into her music like industrial, electronic, and pop but still manages to be etherial and moody always inspires us. She is a definite must see at Coachella for Day 2 / Weekend 2. Her music will be inspiring the look that day, as well.  We’ll be channeling the space invaders of sound…

We’re also really looking forward to Postal Service. They never cease to put us in a great moody mood. Here’s a great clip from their show last weekend at Coachella

 

Garden Party Dreaming…

Posted on by

Back in the day…well 2011 anyway, when we were dreaming up our Spring Collection 2012, we were obsessed with this eye candy of a book, Food Fashion Friends. It inspired us to want to Garden Party like no one has ever Garden Party’d before. We would drink spiked tea and eat cute little sammies and cakes with all our fav gfs. With the scene set, the “what shall we wear?” ideas began to swirl. It would need to be Whimsical, Seductive, and Dreamy…definitely, dreamy. Maybe we were just buzzing from the “tea,” but it was with this simple daydream that our Spring Collection 2012 was born.

Here’s a few for your viewing pleasure…Neat Shirt in Chambray with Passenger Skirt in Contraband, Luisa Short Dress in White Sand, and Dreamy Tee in Rhubarb.

It’s almost Spring (in LA at least) and these designs are just starting to hit stores, so it’s time to make this Garden Party a reality.  On the menu? We’re taking a page out of one of our favorite bloggers, Jordan Reid of RhamshackleGlam.com’s playbook and making a Rhubarb Blueberry Crisp. The beauty is in the simplicity, right?

(Click on the picture for all the delish recipe deets.)

As for music, when we were making this collection we were listening to a lot of Warpaint. Specifically, their cover of David Bowie’s Ashes to Ashes, its airy vintage vibe was so perfect for our Garden Party dreaming.  Definitely check it out if you haven’t already, right now though you really have to see THIS.

 

Amazing, right? You have probably already seen it since it’s at like 45 million views but one more time never hurts. Goyte is on constantly around here and being that we’re festival girls, we are pumped to see him and many others at Coachella. Luckily, we didn’t have to wait until Coachella for Goyte since we saw him last night at the El Rey! More on that a little later but check out our Twitter for pics! Sanctuary1997

Coachella Style Guide II

Now that Day One is covered, you started asking about Day Two! Well here it is… Day Two’s look is called the “Olive Tree Bangle.” Were loving the round shaped sunglasses mixed in with a thick cuff bracelet, and your rock of a ring. Add in that olive color for a subtle but solidly fab color…(goes especially with your new Coachella tan!) Rose colored sandals are the hype, goes well with most outfits! And to top off the outfit flaunt that cool hippy vest you’ve been dying to wear!
Stay tuned for Day 3!
