Fashion Friday: Love Story....

So yesterday doing a little down time we flipped on Love Story with Ali Macgraw and Ryan O'Neil....

Oh fuck! Tear storm! Really big sobs... And mixed in... Awe at how stylish she is!

Yes, the girl she plays in the movie is pretty darn cute.. But Ali herself, she is style magic.

So we became obsessed, because really? Turbans and slinky, sexy dresses?

Really?

Some girls just have that natural instinct for style... Like Oh I didn't even really try... I just thought this would be fun so I threw it on!

Ali My dear, you are that girl.

So today, we are giving you pure fashion inspiration... Run with it and take it where you will.

Sometimes it is nice to just sit and admire fashion and style, like it is art in a museum.

But God help me if I don't find a way to work bright red tights into my fall wardrobe... It is gonna happen, oh yes it will.

We love love, and we love being inspired by any and all avenues of the world...

See, who says you don't learn anything from watching T.V?

Stalk-Her Style: Jane Birkin

If you were ever to get all of our fashion idols together in a room and give them a little wine while you had a conversation about inspiration and THEIR fashion icons...

We bet you not even 5 minutes would pass before someone brought up the insanely amazing Jane Birkin.

Not only is Jane Birkin stupidly beautiful...

She is dripping with cool.

Style like hers is not made... It just is. Everything she ever threw together out of her closet was pure fashion gold.

The problem with girls like Jane Birkin, is that you can try your whole life to imitate, but you will never capture exactly what she has.

Will that fact stop us from trying? HELL to the NO!

If we could ever even look one iota as carefree and stylish as her you better believe we are gonna give it all we got.

This is going to be a SUPER picture heavy post.. But really the best way to learn is to observe, right? So try and study these pictures and find your inspiration.

She is never over done...

Her smile is always genuine....

She knows how to get out of a car like a lady..

(Hollywood celebutants pay attention!)

She is one sexy mama....

Her skirts could not be shorter and her fashion choices more daring.

That picnic basket for a purse... DIE!

Trust us, if we knew where to get this exact basket, we would tell you. We have been searching for weeks! So if you find one, grab a couple extra and send them our way!

So, what have you learned from Jane?

This is what we saw.

1. Less makeup sometimes looks more perfect.

2. Don't worry to much about your hair, windblown is super sexy.

3. The shorter the skirt, the lower the heels... *If you are going for the Birkin look.

4. Casual can look fantastic.

5. Celebrate your natural sexy, don't be shy.

So, if we were trying to stock our closet with Birkin inspired pieces...

This is what we would die for.

Delicious, beautiful, long and white. So very jane.

Thanks again Rachel Pally.

Why not show a little skin? This super sexy peek-a-boo sweater from Rogan is about as casual cool as it gets.

Pair it with some hot pants to really heat things up.

If you dare wear short shorts, these are the ones. Super high waisted and love the button detail. We would pair these Current Elliot shorts with some pretty flat sandals.

Ummm, not really sure this dress is short enough to be Jane-ish... So maybe we would have to bust out the trusty scissors, they really are a girls best friend.

Try your new micro mini with these cute low Gabriella Rocha mary janes.

Trust us*, you are sexy enough with out the extra 3 inches your regular heels give you. Hey, you might even feel sexier due to the fact that your not limping at the end of the night!

* My partner and I may disagree on this... She wears heels WAY better then I do.

We are so insane over these high-waisted J brands. We tried to try them on in a store last week, and they only had teeny tiny sizes.

The dream is still alive though, we will own these fantastic jeans. I embrace the high waisted jean look whole heartedly because

A. I'm a mama, and I have to bend down to kid height a lot.

B. When bending down to kid height, your ass stays in your jeans.

C. The whole park is saved from seeing your tramp stamp!

Win, Win, Win!

Plus they are very Jane Birkin.

If dreams really are coming true around here, then we will for sure be getting these for our birthday next month!

We can wear them with our new jeans!

To find out more about Jane Birkin, like what her music sounds like, what films she was in, why Hermes named their most famous bag after her and what an amazing person she is. Read more here.

We heart you Jane thanks for the inspiration.

Fashion Friday: What's up Doc?

When the 90's ended... We were happy to kiss a lot of things goodbye... House Music, Heroin Chic, Full House.

But a lot of things were really hard to leave behind... Wonderful things, like Super Models, Heroin Chic and, of course, Beverly Hills 90210.

Well, guess what? All the cute gals in Hollywood are busting out their old Doc Martens and rocking them again with pride!

Ok, well to be honest.. Drew Barrymore is busting out her old Docs, these other gals are getting their first pair, having missed the trend the first time around because they were in utero.

We can't tell you how excited we are for the return of the most comfortable yet bad-ass shoe ever!

We are in heartsville all over again with Docs and a pretty dress... Although these days it would be a pretty fitted mini dress and not a ripped up slip-dress, No body wants to end up looking like C. Love... Yucks.

The Doc Martens company which was started 50 years ago and quickly embraced by the blue collar working masses... The postmen, factory workers and transport unions who had initially bought the boot by the thousand, were joined by rejects, outcasts and rebels from the fringes of society.

Skinheads, Rude Boys, Punks, Grunge Rockers, Fashion Lovers, Super Models, Teenagers...

At this point Doc Martens are as much a part of our cultural DNA as denim.

All that history AND they look great with short shorts.

We are so excited about the Docs return to the for-front of fashion, we had to share a few of our favorite ways to wear them with you.

We flipped out for this random image of street style we found... Who is this girl? What country is she from? And how can we be as cute as her? Black leggin's, classic black Docs, fluffy weird white vintage sweater and a cute brown bag... Hippie hair and hardly any make-up? DONE.

We are also super into this picture of Erin Wasson... Such a sexy dress and the sloppy loose boots make it even better.

Love the preppy on top, bad-ass on the bottom look on this little lady.

Vampire Weekend concert, here we come.

Another yummy Erin Wasson look... So perfect, grunge girl re-done.

We snatched these cuties from the look book of a company called April 77

That styling on the left is REDIC... Totes Redic!

Agyness Deyn is pretty much the queen Doc Martens these days...

Look how rad her studded pair is.

Welcome back sweet boots of rebellion... We are so excited to start building outfits around our new foot-wear.

We are totally stealing this look straight off of Whitney Ports back...

Our two favorite pairs...

These really sweet little floral ankle boots.

And these... (We both got them!) tough boots that have a girlie girl ribbon shoelace!

Welcome back 1990's, as long as Miss Me doesn't start dipping back into the Manic Panic pool, things will be fine.
