“No man needs a vacation so much as the man who has just had one.” – Elbert Hubbard That quote held especially true for us this summer. The travel bug bit us hard but with Chelsea taking summer courses and me having a full-time job, we had to become weekend warriors if we wanted to fit it all in. I can’t lie and say it wasn’t worth it but let me tell you we were tired after our last…
One of my favorite comments I get on Instagram is #bodygoals. I truly appreciate any engagement on social media but to me this is so great because I can easily throw together an outfit and do my makeup, but my body is a work-in-progress and takes the most time and effort. Even more so now that I’m 30 but let’s not go there (ugh). I wanted to share with you guys my top 3 tips for a better body.…
Last week, we had the pleasure of hosting our twist on a progressive dinner party at the gorgeous new living space, AVA NoMa. Traditionally, this moving feast is a collaboration with several friends held at each of their homes in succession, with a single course served at each one. It’s a great way to entertain a group of friends without shouldering the whole responsibility (or cost) of a multi-course dinner party. But since when do Chelsea and I follow the…
Finally, it’s summer! We partnered with Greats Brand to share some of our fave style tips for wearing sneakers in the summer. We love a good sandal or flip flop as much as the next beach-goer, but why be seasonally basic? Beat the heat with these cool tips. (Oh the puns…) 1. Let’s start with the most obvious: tee shirt and jeans. Chelsea went with the black perforated “Royale” sneaker by Greats. She kept it super casual for going…

It’s no surprise that when someone says “cashmere” you automatically think of sweater weather. We know, sitting by the fire, drinking hot cocoa in your cozy cashmere. We get it. But who says you can’t keep cool in cashmere too? Take “no sweaters in summer” and throw that fashion stigma right out the window with “no white after Labor Day” and we’ll show you how. Cashmere is a very fine fabric, not like your coarser wools or heavy cottons,…
Festival season is the time to experiment with your style, go a little more bohemian, be relaxed with your outfit and even push the boundaries a little! Were you not lucky enough to make it to Coachella this year (while simultaneously being lucky enough to avoid Fyre Festival)? Don’t worry Darlings, we’re going to show you how to get Fauxchella Festival Feels right here in DC, or wherever you are that’s not Coachella, and then we’ll give you a round-up…
We love all things Italian – luxury, food, bread, coffee and definitely leather. Our Armadio bags are no exception to that! We typically wear our bags more than any other piece of clothing so before we considered Armadio, we wanted to make sure these bags were going to last and were versatile enough that they can be worn daily. {Spoiler Alert} They are. Armadio bags are direct to consumer, which means that we as the consumer can get these bags without the…
If you follow us on Instagram and Snapchat, you know how much I love the Venus Freeze facial. I’ve been going to Skin Sutra Medspa in Fairfax every week for the past month and have definitely noticed the difference in my skin! My skin is tighter, smoother, and those pesky fine lines (I really have to stop smiling so much…) are fading fast. We interviewed the sweet and talented Skin Sutra Medspa owner, and we are excited to introduce you to…
Look ma, no pants! Statement skirts are everything right now and while this is actually a skort, it still made a statement. Rocking a mini skirt in the winter is bold because, well, because it’s winter. I love pairing them with sheer black tights and flat ankle booties. The tights do little to keep your legs warm but at least you have the flat booties so you can move quickly back into the heat, if I’m being honest. This skirt…
