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

vest obsessed.

mbah are kind of obsessed with wearing vests right now - especially the denim variety! thrown over a maxi or a short flowy dress, it can kinda reign things in lieu of a belt. paired with a form fitting dress, it can add just the right amount of coverage, making you feel less exposed. got a tank where your bra straps show too much? put a vest on it!

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.

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?"

lauren on lately

did you guys see lauren conrad on chelsea lately earlier this week?

i was dying over her hair - that braid was so adorable!  

also excited about her new clothing line, paper crown, coming out this fall!

 

check out this clip from the show...

balmania

a lot of balmain on last night's mtv twilight movie awards... and these two were my hands down favorite looks of the night!

mila wore it best with this rad skirt & top combo! i want that skirt now! 

also loved leighton's dress... but i can never get sick of sequins and long sleeves! ;)

we've been quite busy over at joielala lately... 

here's a shoot we did recently with some of our local san diego friends.
styled & designed by the genius ladies of sitting in a tree events -- and inspired by the one and only MIHO gastrotruck. cops tried to shut us down... but we still got the shots!

... and it has to be one of our favorites to date!

see more photos & info on the joielala blog

also a little behind the scenes...

It's Friday!

Happy Friday the 13th, friends!

Taryn and I just got off the phone and we were talking about how much we love Sienna Miller's style. I am in love with her bright yellow oxfords and pants in this photo. In fact, I may just try to find myself a pair of shoes similar this weekend!

Hope you all have a fabulous weekend! xo
