Fashion Friday: Tis the season to be snuggly...we heart cashmere (yes again)

Tis the season to be snuggly...fa la la la laaaaaaa!

Soooo this morning when we woke up we squeeeeeezed our pregnant bellies (and pregnant legs) into an old pair of unbelievably soft, smooshy, cuddle worthy, scrumdidliumtuous cashmere jammie bottoms. And it was BLISSFUL!!!!!

(this looks more like miss me than me...but a girl can dream)

Remember last year how we went on and on (cutefully so of course) about our heartville size LUST for the yummy stuff....well we are at it again! Here are a few of our newest obsessions in CASHMERE!!!!!!

So Miss Me and I were browsing the racks the other day and came across this AMAZING ripped sweater from Elizabeth and James...we both grabbed it...then rubbed our budding bellies and realized... 'tiz silly to spend such moolah when it wont even fit us...

BUT THEN...

I found this!!!!!!!

THis would be perfection now and later...so xmas gift any one???

What about snuggling in a totally chic way in this drapey yumminess from Vince??? Yes PLEASE!! ASAP!!

Throw on with skinnies or leggins...boots or flats and you are just too cute!

Remember when I said I squeeeezed into some jammie bottoms...well it may just be time for some more...you know it's cold...I'm pregs...comfort is key? No? Not buying it? OK then how about just because??

Thanks!

Love these from Juicy...

But if you really love us and want to get us something we would heart you forever for then we NEED THESE!!!!!!!

Cashmere harem pants?!?!? Are you kidding me??

Dear Santa....

xoxo things we heart

Decor to Die For: ABC easy as 123...We heart Typography in the home

Somewhere...somehow...we fell in utter heartville with Typography in the home. It's suuuuper evident the second you waltz in the door.

There are initials at your feet...the couch...the walls...geez louise!!

We are either crazy egomaniacs or we are like dogs and the initial is like us peeing on the lamppost...OR we just super love the look of our initials and letters all over :)

I think the last one sounds the best (and the cutest) so we will take that road.

Not sure how it happened but we got recharged after buying these custom Monogram pillows from our FBF (Fake Boy Friend) Jonathan Adler.

They are the cutest and best prezzie we have ever given to the our house. Thrown any where...on anything...they make the room smile as well as the people who walk by them.

They can be uber customed...front and back and the quality is crazy good.

Then we saw the one and only, Killers on tour and be came obsessed in a really unhealthy way when we saw that their keyboard stand was made up of a marquee lit "K"....kinda like this AMAZING "S"

We searched high and low low low for one in our BFs (the real one) initials but the search ran thin...then we saw it...like a beacon from heaven....our fav store ever had smaller versions in (almost) recessionista prices!!!!

Urban sells almost every letter and they are fantasmical!!!!!

On yet another jaunt around the gorge and crazy (literally) of LALA we ran into the amazing HD Buttercup in search for amazingness. And boy-o-manocheviz did we find it!

Chromed side tables in our initials..

"What's that you said?"...

I said, "CHROME SIDE TABLES IN OUR INITIALS!"

Andrew Martin created rad superhero-esque tables in any letter...

Oui they are tres $$$ but sooo yummy!

What do you put under these amazing tables? How about a typography or monogram rug? OK, so maybe you wouldn't put these with each other (can you say over kill?) but we needed a good lead in ;)

Once again our guru of smile...JA lets you custom a J'adorable rug.

Nothin says my room like a rug with your initials on it.

Want to have letters all over and change them the next day? Try chalkboard paint!

It's like your own personal pop art! Priceless.

Not ready for typography on the walls or floors? Or on a budget and JA's pillows are a tweety but too much? How great are these homemade felt letter pillows we found on Etsy!

They are fluffy Scrabble letters!!!

Cute! And at $25 a pop? Done and Done!

Uh oh!!! What do we have here? Oh nothing....just a hand carved alphabet dresser from Kent and London. Sooooo good! Imagine it painted in a bright color!

Ugghhhh TDF!!!!!

The good news? It's $5000 and the best news? It's from the UK so we don't have to worry about how we can get one ;)

You know what we can have and have been seeing all over town? Bus roll art.

They are vintage and sometimes recreated posters or wood blocks that the bus stations used to post to say where the buses at that station were going. They are sooo cool looking.

So instead of the amazing yet expensive real ones we found this super cute one that would look unbelievable in a little kids room or a bathroom!

Gotta get one of these!

Need a good throw or still gotta grab a great gift? Restoration has cashmere throws that you can have monogrammed!!!

YES PLEASE!!! POR FAVOR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Perfection for winter snuggles with your hot cocoa!

Put your "stamp" on it! Get some typography in your casa...or just paint your initials on the wall ;)

C U L8R

cute!

Because we love you sooo very much we are giving you all our fav gifts to give to all your fav people..and the best part? A few clicks and the shopping is done...you never have to leave the house!!!

No thank you necessary...a kiss or Christian Louboutins will do ;)

For the Prepsterista in your life who wishes soooo much she could wear a bowtie everyday get her one of the cutest gifts we have ever laid our hazely eyes upon!

A checkered bowtie from Ashton Michael with 3 chain necklace attached...Yummerific!

This would look fantastic with a high collar stripe shirt or even cuter with a drapey Alexander Wang Tee!

Now since this Prepsterista is probably in heartville with Coco (we heart you Coco!!) how about getting her a sweater cardigan tuxedo jacket...what's that you say? Yup you read it right cutes...

JCrew bring us this crazy versitile snuggly swuxet (that's sweater - tux jacket). So cute non? With some skinnies or drop crotch pants and combat boots...done and done!

Uh oh...someone said Coco?

She would super heart this striped nautical T from Erin Wasson x Rvca (well it says America not Paris but we think she would still like it).

Throw this on with a leatherette high waist pencil skirt or leggins and you are RTG!

And what do you get the Fashionista in your life who is crazy hard to shop for? Remember those ridiculously gorgeously amazing Chloe Boots from our pirate post?

Yeah...those!

Jeffery Campbell did an amazing homage to those with these super stylin' OTK strap boots.

These would look amazing with a knit mini and vintage tee...or a vintage lacey dress.

What's that you say? Your fashionista friend looves to be in the sun but hates her fine lines? Well then get her a pair of these sick Blueblocker-esque, Grandma Rose style glasses from Super Retrofuture.

They have side lenses to keep out the harmful wrinkle forming rays of the Global Warming sun.

So, you know how everything these days is sheer and off the shoulder? Well why not grab yourself on of these amazing bras from VPL (Visible Panty Lines).

They totally design their bras to be seen! Nice.

And yes, we know this post is for prezzies for your friends and lovers but gift giving is waay more fun when you get a lil' something for yourself for all the hard work you put in :)

It is Channukah today so don't forget to give your Jewish friend or family member a gift. We heart this amazing Star of David.

It's a great modern twist on the classic star necklace.

And the pave diamonds don't suck either.

We have been coveting this purse for sometime now and think it would be divine for the gal who has it all.

It's perfect for day or night and she can rock it with what ever she finds in her crazy closet. The beading is fantasmic! And it won't cost you these....

arm and a leg...get it...get it?

Hello super cute and totally affordable stacking Love rings from Topshop. How are you? Cute? Yes you totally are!

You make us giggle and would be perfect stocking stuffers or put in a cute vintage box you find on Ebay and they will make a delish gift!!!

For your hippie-meets natural-meets cutey bean friend... This beautiful poncho from our go to store Urban is quite simply perf!

Soooo cozy, soooo chic with tights and boots, sooooo good you will be jealous of yourself for giving it to her!

Here are 2 stocking (pun totally useful here) stuffers that would make any girls heart swoon!

These uber cute swiss dot tights are perfection for the holidays when you stuff your bellies with noodle kugel and egg nog. Why? Oh, because they are from Spanx and are control top...Hi...I'll take 3 please.

Nothing feels better than harm tootsies on a cold winter night...and these leopard cashmere socks are just the right (and crazy cute) things to do the trick!

Ahh fireside with cocoa and cute socks...perfection!

Fashion Friday: As if it needs to be said...cozy up to cashmere...

So as of late, you may have noticed our....well...love for cashmere and fall weather ...OK so it's more of an obsession so I am sure you have noticed.

But seriously have you snuggled up in some cashmere lately? Have you?

Cuz if you have, you are super on our cashmere lovin' bandwagon. If not...buy a sweater or 3 and we will see you on the wagon trails.

Wrapping up in scrumdidilyumptious cashmere offerings feels as cuddly as a bunny cat sleeping on you.

Cashmere wool is created from the brushing of the molted layer of goats fur. They spin the brushed under layer of fur into this crazy soft yarn....Thanks Cashmere goaties!

Here are our faves in the land of cashmere...

The easiest (and usually most recessionista chic) way to be swathed in the lusciousness, is wearing a scarf.

Loving this infinity wrap scarf from James Perse. Tres Chic...no weird hanging ends!

Just twist it around your neck...fluff it up and you are ready to grace the streets of Paris.

Speaking of Tres Chic...

A heather grey Cashmere cardi with stripes made of chiffon ruffles....ummm... OUI MERCI!

This would look amazing over a tee (Mr Wang's are still our favs) with leggings and OTK or those Fiorentini Baker boots we love so much...cuteness! (PS scroll down on the link to see the boots)

This red low back, bat sleeve, suuper soft, fabulusious sweater dress reminds me of when I was 6 and I would sneek in my mom's closet and try on her red angora backless dress and walk around until I would fall asleep on the floor with the dress wrapped like a blanket.
Of course it's from Halson! It soooo '80s ...in a good way! This would look hot with flat OTK boots...

Oy Vey!!!!!

Wow...this is a real Snuggie...this is what a Snuggie wishes it was.

This draped "blanket" cardigan is absolute heaven. So Dramatic yet totally wearable.

Hi cute NM cashmere poncho! You are super cute. We want you so we can wear you with skinny jeans and boots!
Then we will go out to eat and eat sooo much...but you won't be able to tell cuz your so loose! Woo hooo!

Now, this is what we think of when we thing cashmere sweaters. Yummy, slouchy, warm, soft, and perfect!

The boyfriend fit is so casual yet super pulled together and it will go with any outfit you can imagine! Thanks GAP!

So, when you think of someone being a triple threat, you may think of Beyonce or even JLo...but they may have to move over when they meet the designer of Lolly, Chad Kimball. He created this positively crazy snuggly soft hoodie/ robe/cardigan.

Not only does Chad Kimball create buttery cashmere pieces for Lolly by day... he is also a star on Broadway at night, and the designer for Obvious clothing!!! And you thought you had no time for anything.

Geez...way to make us feel like failures Chad...thanks :(

But seriously...thanks for your soft as angel kisses cashmere

We looove Lolly's hounds tooth (yes suuuper Coco Chanel-y) cashmere kimono robe.
We can envision this cuddly creation on a cooold Sunday morning...grabbing the paper and looking chic doing it. Buh bye stinky sweats!

Oh, hahaha...yet another Coco inspired cashmere piece. This one we found from Line...and boy oh man do we need this!
We would grab 1 size bigger..throw on some tights and oxfords or tall (flat) boots and be on our merry little Parisian way.

Ohhhh! We forgot all about our lurve for cashmere gloves!!!!

Wear these suuuper cute Carolina Amato zippered versions on a cold day and your fingers will thank you...so will the fashion critics.

While you are being crazy cute and warm with your zippered cashmere gloves...don't forget your head!

While we are still crazy in love with cashmere beanies...we thought we would switch it up a bit with a hat. And this Banana Republic hat would be the perfect one!
Love the military-esque style of this super warm and soft cashmere blend cap. Bad hair days will be behind you once you get this bad boy...

So you don't have to walk more than 2 steps in our house to know we are a bit psycho about black and white and stripes...and you are reading our rant about cashmere...

Now imagine our beating hearts when we found this STRIPED CASHMERE thick SCARF!!!!!

Hello? Xmas is coming up... Just thought we would remind you guys in case you forgot. And if you still don't know what to get us...um...we want this scarf!!!!! Hope your reading this mom ;)

Imagine your fave American Apparel wide neck sweatshirt (ok our uber fave too) in Cashmere...can you imagine!?!??!

Well, now your dream is a reality!!!!!!!! Wooooo hoooo!
Thanks to Shop Bop our search and dreaming are over! Yummmmmyyyyy and easy! If you love us sooo much that the striped scarf just isn't enough, you are more than welcome to give us one of these too! Just sayin ;)

Think Cashmere sweaters have to be nice and pretty? Nope...they can be rock n' roll too!

Crushin on this chain detailed, over sized sweater from Velvet. No need to look any further to find the perfect do it all cashmere sweater...pair this with skinny jeans and cons and you are GTG (Good To Go) Cutey Mcgoo!

Where have you been sparkly paillette cardi?

We want this La Rok beauty in our closets...NOW
You could literally pair this with anything and it will up the ante! See save moolah on the other stuff... just by grabbing this sweater!

OK...now take a deep breath...did you? You need to when you see the piece de resistance....

OMFG! Um ...we are panicking......help!!!!!!

Oh gosh...we will give back all the other presents (well maybe not the striped scarf...but all the others) for these TDF drop crotch, cashmere pants from Heaven...I mean from Robert Rodriguez.

Enough said...they speak for themselves...but seriously!??!??!?!? YUMMY!

Now that you are officially on our wagon of cashmere love...here are a few tricks to keeping your treasured goods in tip top shape.

1. Buy cedar balls or blocks (moths looove cashmere as much as we do)

2. Grab a plastic sweater box

3. Stick your gorge cashmere in the box with the balls (ooooh sounds dirty)

4. Do NOT Dry clean your cashmere. The chemicals make is stiff and break down the fibers...we have learned the hard way.

5. Wash in cold water on the delicate cycle. We love to use the Laundress' detergent

6. Do NOT dry...lay flat over a bath tub or sweater net

Easy Breasy Beautiful...Cashmere! (you thought we were going to say Covergirl ;0 )

Get cozy!

xoxo t.w.h.
