your new favorite top. seriously.

i get completely obsessed with items of clothing, once i find a piece i like, i'll wear it to death.  like, to the point where my friends will say, "no, i don't think you should wear the camo jacket again..." ha!  well, i have a new obsession. this BP top by Lush is perfect for work with dress pants, great tucked into a skirt and ideal for going out in skinny jeans and boots. it's just $34, comes in lots of colors, and is aptly named the perfect tee. you're welcome! xo, k

dot dot dot . . .

even though it's fall, it's still 80+ degrees out (and gorgeous) in san diego so we couldn't resist these polka dot denim shorts... and once it cools down some, these shorts will be cute with a cream cable-knit, chunky sweater & brown boots! #sandiegowinters

go get now :: LoveBirdsLA

i'm completely in love with my friend Kim's up & coming accessory line, LoveBirdsLA. Their bags are all handmade in the USA with textiles from Peru, Thailand & other parts of Southeast Asia. Inspired by traveling & her love of fashion... these clutches are the perfect mix! 

you need one! 

they were featured in InStyle Mag this month & many celebs have been spotted sporting LoveBirds. i just ordered an oversized clutch from them and I can't wait for it to show up on my doorstep!

things we love, that you should love

here are a few things that we think you'll love! xo, t & k

k:  obsessed with my new Dior Addict lipstick in beige dandy my cousin got me for my b-day, it's the perfect color for me and i feel so fancy wearing it!

...

t: I'm loving my new cleobella bag... you must check out their new store in seal beach! 

...

k:  i got one of these bkr water bottles for my birthday from my friend Amy and it's perfect for yoga and barre3.  i absolutely love it - there's nothing better than drinking from a glass bottle!

...

t: my eye brow girl (who is also my skin guru) gave me some samples of this stuff and it's amazing! jam-packed with goodness for your face! 

...

k:  retin-a is my new bff. i finally listened to my dermatologist, giving this a fair shot and it's working super well! the key is to start using it at night, every 3rd night and gradually work up to every night.  Also use it on super dry skin (30 minutes after washing) to avoid irritation.


...

t: trader joes always has the good stuff. i'm loving their shave cream... no razor burn or irritations! it's the best. 

what's the occasion?

um... kinda dying over these sparkly pieces (& the photos) from freepeople's new "occasion" line! now i just need an occasion as an excuse to buy one!

practically stolen :: current/elliott

the irvine Nordstrom Rack never disappoints!  among other things, scored this jean jacket for $60! loves it!

have to see it on :: college-era jewelry

by now you've all seen kim's KW initial earrings, we're assuming?  now, we don't really care if she is or isn't dating mr. west, but we are wondering about bringing back the double ear piercings! do you have multiple holes in your ears? i am thinking about rocking that look again.  how about the anklet on sincerely, jules?  totes cute! what's next? toe rings? hmmmmm....xo, t&k

let there be sun!

it was insanely sunny and gorgeous this weekend in PDX so naturally i needed to snag myself a new pair of sunnies (and more eye cream samples) ...#justsaynotowrinkles.  I got a standard pair of black ray-bans, but i am loving all of the colors and prints!  totes cute.

we want these tights

get em here // saw them here

have to see it on :: mullet skirt

we have a new recurring post to bring to you called "have to see it on"! there are so many trends that you see on the hanger and immediately write off, but once you see someone rockin' it, you're like, "hmmm, i kinda like it!". our first post is about the mullet skirt (also called the hi-low skirt). we'd seen this look in stores & we kinda thought, "eh.", but our good friend vivian had the raddest skirt on in bali and we both were obsessed. then it seemed like we saw a lot of hip, fashionistas rocking this look in bali!

drooling over :: christian siriano SP12

i keep going back to mr siriano's spring 2012 collection to look again...  i just love every bit of it! the colors & the mix of simple & chic... one of my favs for sure!

p.s. christian has to be my favorite reality tv star of all time. "Don't these bitches know that I'm.. way better than them?"

on the lookout for leather

we saw lykke li at the greek last night (check back on tues for the recap) - and we saw a girl walk by with the cutest leather jacket!

miss b & hustle are officially on the hunt for fab leather jackets for fall

(R.I.P. t's that was lost in portland - sad face)

here's two on our dreamlists:

k's pick

things we love, that you should love...

Happy Friday! We're going to do a recurring post called things we love, that you should love, because that's kind of how this blog started! We were constantly e-mailing each other about things we bought or found that the other one should check out! Enjoy!

K: I just found this wax for brows and I totally love it!

T: my friend katie got me into this stuff --- it's SOOO yummy in smoothies!

K: I love this blazer by Gibson. I literally throw it on over everything - great purchase! 

 T: a while back when i was buying some pink lipstick at mac, the mac girl convinced me i needed this stuff... i'm so happy she did, because this stuff rules! keeps your lips bright all night & no smudges or pink/red teeth!

K: It's neurotic, but I honestly buy one of these tanks every time I go to Target. I sleep in them, workout in them and layer them under aforementioned black blazer. They're the best!

 T: i'm a nail polish nut... and i'm loving this brand because of their "3 free" polish.  no formaldehyde. no toluene. no DBP (Dibutyl Phthalate). they also seem to come up with the most amazing colors! my new fav is the color above - artful dodger
