Jessica Rabbit

Ultra fab vintage dress from Happy Couture in San Francisco. If only I had more occasions to wear fabulous formal wear.
Just call me Jessica Rabbit!

Knotted Up

Sometimes a hairdo can make a casual outfit into something more.  We both have very long hair, but that is not necessary--sometimes short hair makes it is easier to create chic chignons and coiffed looks.    In this case, a braided crown can be the perfect touch. You can reverse-french-braid this look as seen in this tutorial https://www.youtube.com/watch, or simply make two pigtail braids and bobby pin them. (requires a lot of bobby pins but definitely does the trick.)

A Day in the City: Mission District

The El Capitan building
Going to San Francisco for the day, but feeling a little uninspired? The Mission District is brimming with life.  Coffee shops, art galleries, murals, vintage shops, and the list goes on.  We had a particularly sunny day of fun exploring this area filled with locals and untouched by tourists.

We found all sorts of treasures.  A citrus candle, gold plated and turquoise cuffs, fun plaid hats (this find needed a giant pom pom on top to really complete it) and large fur collared parkas. There is something for everyone.

Since it is San Francisco, walking is a given.  Wearing something on the comfortable side is okay.  Anna wore Diesel boyfriend jeans, leather loafers, and a Madewell top, while Jessie kept things more fitted in skinny riding pants, Hunter boots, and a Coach vintage bag.

Happy Valentines

Ever since we were little we have loved our mama.  Who is your valentine? Hmm...is a pink outfit necessary for today? Perhaps.

Right Now: Metallic Nails

Gold or silver metallic nails are cool without being too cheap looking, and they don't require all the crazy tutorials to be neat.  A two coats and done sort of situation.  


Essie makes a great one that you can get at lots of places--even Target.  But this, I picked up at a Walgreens for about $3 and it has stayed on really well too.
