the Perfect Pair

Riptide Jumper

Have you ever built your entire weekly wardrobe around one new pair of shoes? That's how we feel (and what we've done!) with the Shomera Wedge sandal. The wedge heel gives a sexy yet comfortable lift, the wide ankle cuff is super flattering and the price is just right. 

Featured Above: The Shomera Wedge in suede, $148. Silk scarf with coin and sequin detailing by Sete de Jaipur. Riptide Jumpsuit by FreePeople, featuring drawstring waist, cuffed legs and pockets, $86. Cotton lace bandeau by FreePeople, $28.

Loving Les Halles

LesHalles

Indie 1970's denim label Les Halles has re-emerged with a small but perfect collection of denim and casual tops. The Straw Legging ($118) is soft and flattering with just the right amount of distressing, and the Girlscout Button Down ($88) has single-handedly won us over on the idea of rocking plaid.  

Straw Legging available in Marble (left) and Cauliflower (right).  Happy Friday!

Victorian Hippie


VH Blog Post

Our vibe for Spring this year has been a little bit earthy, a little bit edgy, be it with denim, tops, dresses or shoes. So we were thrilled to find a jewelry line that walks the fine line perfectly! Victorian Hippie uses quality materials like leather, gemstones and antique brass to create unique yet casual pieces. Top pick (maybe, ever?!) has to be the Leather Scarf Necklace, sits perfectly around the neck and creates great movement with multiple ball chains and leather strands. 

Above Left: Feather headband with braided leather, chain link detail and various vermeil charms. 

The "All You Need is Love Bracelet". Braided leather wrap bracelet with sterling silver detail throughout, and sterling silver plate and hook & eye clasp.

Above Center: Silver and Leather Scarf Necklace. Scarf necklace with silver ball chains and super soft leather strands. Double knot detail.
