Fashion Friday: Yummm Scallops...the fashion kind

We lurve us some scallops...

Nooo...not these....

Or even these....


These!!!!

Christopher Kane...YUM!

Scallops are so delicate and feminine with a vintage chic edge...


They can be soft and sweet in a snarky way...

(Chloe '09. They have been doin the scallops for a couple of seasons now...thank the lord cuz we can't get enough)


Or dressed up to be hip and "oh yeah...i just threw these on with a tee and blazer" ..."oh you like? haha thanks! I just wear what's on the floor...you know."

Or paired with dark tights and OTK boots for a ...I'm too chic to be called "chic" and sooo perfectly imperfect it will make you try to copy it again and again for the perfect balance of cool girl meets cute boy.

Ugghhhh scallops are soooo cutie bean and ooh lala chic....look at how our FBF Miss Meester fuckin rocks these Chloe duds...

Sooo cute right? Take those shorts and throw on a fantastic tank with yellow flats or ankle boots and you my dear are waaay TCFS (too cool for school). Just don't let us find you! And if we do be careful...we will steal you...

Unfortunately, we couldn't find those ridiculously amazing high waisted shorts that LM was wearing...but we did find See by Chloe's silky yummy pj style scalloped trim shorts here.


These beauties are beggin to be paired with a white sheer tee, denim jacket and hot ass wedges or converse.

Remember those uber cute yet totally casual Chloe SE (Scalloped Edge) shorts that our obsession and Sienna were wearing? Well now you can get your pretty paws on some.


OK maybe not Chloe, but Urban has stitched up a pair of simple pull ons that if worn right are a pretty good copy of the OG.

*Buyers note...size down and make sure you have a rad vintage belt or a drapey top over the stupid elastic waistband of these*

Like snowflakes and people and ummmmm cookies..no 2 scallops are alike ;)
Take American Apparels lacey T shirt...the edges may not be scalloped but that gorge lace pattern sure is.


Sooo Art Deco...just the way we like it. (The color choice of this top is Black El Salvador)

Shpeaking of tops...Chloe called and they said your top is ready...and it's on sale!


Too bad their version of sale is sooo not recessionista chic but it could be very worth the price.
Those delicate flutter SE sleeves paired with the stunningness of the hem and off set buttons...yummmy!
Throw on your fave dark skinnies or high waisted flares and honey, you are a walking definition of chic!


You know our silly love (Ok ..you're right it's an obsession) with Rompers...well thank you Urban for your sticky sweet vintage-esque birdie print number.


This has Coachella written ALL over it!
We think mixing it up with heavier shoes like some Docs or lace up boots and a drapey cardigan will be perfect.

Hello beautimous and striking red dress from Tibi! How's it going? Oh, really? You don't say. Yes you are a great romantic spring dress!


We can wear you to weddings and baby showers and parties and dinners. Your delicate yet strong edge will literally go with every kind of shoe and jacket...done and done!

Ok, you're right...I mean those last few pieces were amazing but not the most affordable and "everyday-able" in the bunch.

Well of course F21 has jumped on the not quite yet here bandwagon and gives us this soft SE mini.
A drapey tee (white would be nice), some booties or flips and hair in a pony will make this skirt a must have for spring.

And for our fave pic of the bunch. We are soooo dying for this dress.

(It might be the girl, the styling and her TDF orangey red lips and stunning beachy hair that are really killing us)

We are suckers for nude lace mixed with toughness so black tights, blk stilettos are dying to be worn with this dress...then put on a denim jacket for good measure.
OR black combat boots or studded converse would look just as rad.


Trying to find the perfect bikini (oh honey...sorry we said the "B" word...yes we are all scared of that asshole of a word) and not sure what to do?


Call your friends at...say it with us CHLOE for your go to suit.
We die for tie sides!

How ever you want them...they got 'em. Scallops are on their way!

Fashion Friday: We heart fashion icon costumes and wearing them later too!!!




OK... so Halloween is almost here (1 day! Wooo hoooo!) and we are gonna squeeeeze every last ounce out of it ;). It's sooo worth it right?

A looong weekend of candy eating, costume wearing, disco dancing nights...nothing could be more fun filled. OK there is one thing...an all expense paid shopping spree and vacation to every country in Europe...but at least you know Halloween is a sure thing.

In honor of the amazingly fun day we decided to mix fun and fashion (well fashion is always fun...but we decided to mix costumes and fashion)...and a few of our favorite fashion icons...
We heart dressing up as fashion icons...and you know what we heart even more??? Dressing up like them for Halloween and being able to wear every piece from your costume again and again!
Recessionistas and fashionistas and costumistas UNITE!



Each piece from each Halloween costume is super wearable and muy en vouge for your closets pleasure.

Let's start with the man (may he rest in peace) who single handedly changed music, fashion and celebrity..Michael Jackson.

Here is a great costume inspired by his outfit in the Billie Jean video.


LOOOVE his leather suit and pink shirt!
To create this look...
Grab a pink button up. We love the ones from American Apparel.

And while you are there grab a red bow tie or here's one from Amazon.

Now for the meat and potatoes...
We super heart these leather trousers from Geren Ford.

The cut is perfect and the slightly dropped crotch is a must.
Wear these later with gorge booties or sky high platforms like these from LAMB.


Grab a strong blazer like this fantastically tailored one from Elizabeth and James and you are on your way.


We were so inspired after watching This Is It we wanted to do 2 MJ costumes....to honor his geniusness (is that a word?).


He was really well known for his Military ensembles...he made them sooo popular they are back and more wearable than ever.
Look at this uber easy to wear MB from BB Dakota.

Great fit and details. Wear later with skinny jeans a great drapey top and converse ;)
Nothing says MJ like an amazing pair of gold sequin pants. Here are a super girly pair from Siwy.

Soooo Michael!!!
Pair these later with high Docs or moto boots and an over sized cashmere sweater like this snuggly one from Bloomies.


Now for the amazing shoes.....wait for them...wait....


Right?!?!?!?!?! Perf for the costume and even more perfect with ankle skimming jeans and a blazer.



Hmmmm we just saw that hair on someone recently too....oh yeah! Drew Barrymore ;)

Debbie Harry is another musical fashion icon...her looks have inspired most of today's most fashionable pop icons.

She was the perfect mix of pixie meets punk and blue collar worker meets today's super models (and she did this over 20 years ago!!!!)
This is one of our all time favs from the Blondie singer.

Only DH could pull off a vneck tee as a dress with knee pads and white boots...and look that freaking hot!
Here is a great dress from the leaders of the rad everyday tee brigade...LNA.


Grab a pair of knee pads from any sporting goods store or Target.

Hmmm how can you use these later???
And pair with amazing white boots. Either super high Docs that will still look amazing next summer with a sundress

or these amazing vintage boots.


The icon of all smashion icons...the lady who changed fashion for good.
Not only did she make sun kissed skin cool (they didn't know about skin cancer back then) but she is the reason millions of New Yorkers (and now me) where black as if it was the only color in the closet.


Miss Coco Chanel how we heart thee...sooo much we ordered "How to Speak French" cd's.
The staple of CC wardrobe...besides black...were great trousers. We heart these from Wall Street.

Perfectly cropped to go with any shoe when Halloween is over and the boyfriend cut is oh sooo in.
CC made tweed gorgeous and tiny tweed blazers HUGE...still today!


Thanks Urban for this crazy cute version...sooo Coco!

This would look great with a high waisted mini and cami when you are done being CC.

When most women were wearing heels and corseted boots...Coco was donning men's style shoes to match her masculine aesthetics.
Hello amazing oxfords!!!!!!!!


Please come visit my tootsies! I will even get them polished and scrubbed for you.

Now, no Coco would be complete with out a pile of pearls.

Thanks to F21 you can get a whole bunch for not a whole bunch.


And last but nooooo way least...our fav...our go to gal for style...Kate Moss!


There are sooo many great ways to be the Great Kate but it seems that the one she wants us to remember is her penchant for over the knee boots (before the trend got big and still looked timely and timeless) and skinny jeans.

She is the perfect supermodel. Part rock and roll and every bit sexy and effortlessly glam.
Every piece from your KM outfit will be yours to wear everyday after the 31st.

Grab your fav skinny jeans...
Get a pair of wearable and timeless OTK boots. We love these from Guess.

Not slutty and totally doable.

Pair with a cute vintage tee

(we just steal ours from the boys...well 1 of us has a nasty Ebay habit) from Ebay or any thrift store since you are running out of time.

And Kate's fav, go to piece for the last 10 years...a structured blazer.
Yay Jcrew for your gorge blazers!

Thanks for your cute styling ideas!

Kate is never without her Raybans

so you better grab a pair of fakies at Urban or get a real pair that will last you a life time of wears and save your eyes.
Now if we could only have her face and hair.


Oooops...how did that picture get there....yet another reason to want to be Kate for Halloween...JOHNNY DEPP!


Have fun tomorrow!!!! Be all you can be!!!! Then wear it all again...it makes it way more fun.


xoxo t.w.h.
