The Perfect T x3

summer is just around the corner... which means farmers markets, lakefront bike rides, sailing and festivals in just about every neighborhood (every weekend). until then, we have been on the search for the perfect t to layer with jeans & lightweight jackets for spring... and shorts & skirts for when summer arrives (fingers crossed that's sooner rather than later!). here are our picks...

k's pick - j.crew's linen v-neck pocket t 

i literally lived in these t shirts last season.

light weight and fit great. perfect for a hot summer day!

s's pick - LNA carmen v neck tee

a white v neck tee and jeans is my go to...LNA's quality and fit is always perfect, 

effortlessly casual :)

c's pick - madewell art deco tee

you are more likely to see me in a graphic tee than a plain tee. madewell makes my favorite ones. sometimes (most of the time) i buy the same one in two colors... easier for tee-rotation;)

C's 2nd Secret Weapon

i revealed my 1st secret weapon recently. on to my next...

if it's not a smoothie first thing, it's hot water with lemon nowadays. i used to just reach for my coffee right away, but i was finding myself with stomach aches and all around just not feeling right. i kept reading how beneficial adding lemon to hot water was for the mornings to help settle your tummy & aid digestion and now i can't seem to get enough. but my lemon weapon hasn't stopped there... read on to see where else i am using it...

1. especially, err, during that time of month a few unwanted blemishes pop up. my trick is to squeeze fresh lemon on the blemishes in the evening. by morning, the redness is gone.

2. like i mentioned above... i am pretty much addicted to hot water with lemon. maybe it's all in my head, but it really helps my digestive system, skin, and tummy. side wine note: this helps hang overs too!

3. just like i start the morning with lemon, if i know i won't be able to fall asleep as quickly as i'd like (due to a late night flywheel class)... i brew some chamoille tea and add lemon. apparently, it proves to help calmness. it's workin' for me...

p.s. this is one of my favorite kitchen appliances. helps get that hot water going first thing!

Three For Easter

easter is two days away. we're planning our outfits in advance (as we've always done since we were little)... it's predicted to be 66 degrees, which means spring dresses will be our go to! here are our picks-

k's pick - club monaco ruth dress

love the back of this dress! extra 25% off right now too with code INTHEFAMILY14;)

s's pick - 4.collective dress

 i will likely pair this dress with a jcrew necklace, probably this one!

c's pick- lyric dress

you know those holiday dresses your mom would put you in when you were teeny tiny that were over priced, but photographed great? well if you know what i am talking about... this reminds me of a grown up version. i love the fitted top then the flare bottom!

This One Is For The Kids

is that c in the big hat? ^

as if we couldn't love kate spade and jack spade any more... they give us yet ANOTHER reason. ks & js are teaming up for a design collab with gap kids. we could not be more excited to deck out our favorite little ones. we're pretty sure the grown ups are more excited than the kiddos...little do they know what's in store for them. start em' early!

this one is for the kids.

All In The Weekender

yesterday we were saying how it's all in the handbag, but it's also all in the weekender. with each of our jobs, it's tough for us to take more off than a weekend so we're always seeking the perfect bag that can get us through a quick trip (or overnight). it's not easy finding one that will fit a ton, plus look cute while traveling... and also be friendly on your bank account. but lately, we've been finding a ton of options that we're taking a liking to-

1.

2.

3.

4.

1. Cuyana Overnight Bag

2. Cuyana Canvas & Leather Weekender

3. Hershchel Supply Bag

4. Mossimo Supply Co. Floral Bag

we especially love the cuyana line because you can add a monogram of your choosing. always all in the details!

All In The Handbag

we've been fans of michelle williams since dawson's creek...and if we can look as fab as michelle does in louis vuitton's spring 2014 campaign, we want to make every single style of the new lv city bags ours! we'd stretch to say lv and michelle just made some fashion magic with this campaign... all without shoes on too. :) who knew fab, sophisticated and chic could be done so laid back well?
