With Spring heading towards us in full force, April showers caught some of us off guard the past few days. Here we are pulling together our menswear inspired casual weekend wear. When it's wet outside and all we want to do is cuddle up with some tea and a good book we can still find some inspiration with these Frye boots, and a long camel jacket.  Layer your relaxed boyfriend jeans with the all timeless neutral long sleeve, and accent it all with the boho inspired hat and rocker bag. A Timeless, effortless menswear inspired ensemble, always pulled together with ease.

10|20 Pulling it together : Spring Ensemble

April 02, 2013

Pulling an ensemble together. One staple that will definitely be in our thought this spring and summer is that of the timeless kimono top. Big, long draped tees and tanks are wonderful for layering, as well as coverups for summer. If you find a neutral you love, get them all, not all tees are made the same and they can be very elusive even though they seem to be everywhere. Spring can still be chilly and  beautiful scarves are never at a loss even on summer nights. Spring draws us to our beloved sandals but we can still rock our pumps for a boho rocker-chic aesthetic, when accompanied by our leathers.

Lessons In : the panama hat

April 01, 2013

My father has had his panama hat for as long as I can remember, yet it wasn't until I rediscovered it last weekend that I realized after some research how incredible these hats really are. My father has had his forever and forever timeless is the style, yet after searching for just the right feel I became aware of how particular and (expensive) these hats are. The panama hat is all about the grade, yet there is no universal grading scale. The terms Fino Fino or Super Fino is what one would most likely be looking for, a weave so fine that it can bend fold and pop right back into shape. These beauties can run up to $7,500 (eheheh). Yet after researching the lesser not so Fino grade hats, that have with a stiff weave and will most likely break, unravel, and last one season. We are opting for the fino fino grade that will be timelessly in your spring/summer ensamble for years as well as something to pass down.
