Art Deco Living

It’s no secret that Art Deco design lingers at the top of our (Caitlin & Caitlin) favorites list—we both live in Deco era buildings and one of us even has a pet named after the style! But what better time to celebrate the swanky, vibrant rage of the roaring 20’s (then 30’s and 40’s!) than with The Great Gatsy debuting this weekend?

As so beautifully demonstrated in the ads for the movie, Art Deco is an eclectic style that meshes … +more

I am heading back to Austin tomorrow for my sister’s graduation, which just so happens to coincide with Mother’s Day weekend!  Sunday both of my sisters and I are planning on spending the day by the pool with mom and enjoying shrimp and scallops on the grill– sounds like a dream Sunday to me!  If you’re still looking for a mother’s day gift, below are my favorite pieces from some of my favorite online shops!

First, though, here are 8 things +more

Summer Dresses, 3 Ways

Happy monday, friends!  How were your weekends?  On Saturday night we said farewell to some of our closest friends out here who are moving to Nashville.  Even though LA is such a transient city, and it’s common for people to come and go, it doesn’t make it any easier to say goodbye to such great friends.  The upside is that it was hosted at Edendale, a great little bar and restaurant in the building of an old firehouse.  A really … +more

What To Listen To Now

I don’t know if all of you are aware, but we are supposed to hit 95 degrees in LA!  Yowzas!  Summer is definitely upon us and our resident musical genius, Matt Mugford is here just in time to drop some summer jams.  Aaron is in London so I am going to be spending most of the weekend getting ahead on work in order to make up for my quick jaunt to Austin next week.  (Can’t wait!)  Come tomorrow afternoon, though, … +more

Strawberry Basil Margaritas

This weekend I was expressing my love for Cinco de Mayo to Aaron when we both discovered a pattern.  Apparently I have a soft spot for holidays celebrating independence and named for the date they fall on.  My affinity for Cinco de Mayo is second only to my love for the 4th of July.  They’re both easy, low-maintenance holidays characterized by yummy food, delicious beverages, and warm weather– three things that I strongly believe in!

Lately it seems you can’t … +more

Summer Accessory: Caps

How often is it that an accessory trend is equal parts stylish and practical?  These super cute caps won’t only hide a bad hair day, but will spice up just about any sweet summer dress you have hanging around in your closet.  The key to wearing them is to juxtapose them with something unexpected.  You can mix them with other patterns to create an overall mixed print look or pair them with a sweet, lacy dress like the gal did … +more

Choosing The Right Shades…

While most accessories tend to be a one-size-fits-all situation, sunglasses are definitely not. How many times have you picked up a cute pair of shades, only to be less than thrilled with the way they fit your face when you looked in the mirror? The truth is, specific styles work better for different face shapes.  No matter how much you love those oversized Tom Ford sunnies, if your features are petite, they probably aren’t the way to go.  Last week … +more

Best of Beauty

I’m not going to lie, this was some of the most gratifying research I have ever done!  My usual beauty regimen is pretty simple, and I don’t often take the time for at-home treatments or masks.  However, all of my traveling in March, combined with this dry weather has had my skin feeling rather parched! After a trip to Sephora and Barneys, I decided to put their recommendations to the test.  The conclusion?  There are some really amazing products out … +more
