You may have noticed by now that we are a sucker for anything SILKY and CREAM- but what can we say, it is season-less and layers so well.

This is the perfect look for Friday night and the entire look is SO CHEAP! The only bad news (if your an e-commerce guru) is that a few of the pieces are not yet available online so you will have to stop by the stores to pick them up.

Texans like us MELT in the summer heat and FREEZE in the indoor air conditioning. For this reason, we must keep a few trendy sweaters in our wardrobe.

We love this shawl cardi from Forever 21 because it is neutral, lightweight, has an interesting silhouette, and is SUPER cheap. Dont bother dry cleaning, just buy a new one.

It has been quite a while since we have wanted a backpack. Our last one was a black cargo North Face- we were cool.

This jas MB leather flap top backpack from Barneys is super unique and fits most laptops.

We suggest ditching your briefcase for this cool kid accessory.

Leather pants are here to stay and for that reason, you MUST invest in a pair of REAL leather leggings.

I know that many of you thought that you “got the look” last season with your inexpensive American Apparel “liquid leather” leggings but YOU DIDN’T. And for the rest of you who wore pleather: EVEN worse.

A mistake like that can make your entire outfit look like a CHEAP mess.

Some days we just want to be COMFORTABLE and cute.

After seeing Carmen Kass wearing a similar outfit in the Michael Kors spring ads, we had to have this classic Hamptons look. The best part: all of the elements of this outfit are WARDROBE BUILDERS- meaning you need to have them anyway.

Ever heard of Alexis Iman? Us either. But we REALLY like her style.

Check out her Tie Front Poncho dress on SALE at singer22. We are always looking for silk pieces like this- the ones you can wear to Sunday brunch with a pair of flats OR to an outdoor bar in the summer with a pair of wedges. It is sexy without being overdone. Just how we like it.

When we met Phillip Lim at a Thakoon party in New York, we nearly passed out. He is a fashion god (and super cute). His aesthetic is so unique and the quality of his garments never fails.

Phil, you enhance our lives.

Cream is one of our favorite colors for spring and it is the best pallet for fabulous accessories. Try the French Coin necklace and a pair of metallic lanvin flats (an investment piece).

This past weekend during the Amber Venz Jewelry trunk show at The Shak in Stanley Korshak, we were reminded of an ever-so-fabulous bag by one Mr. Wang.

Contemporary buyer, Shannon, walked out for the weekend with her (well suited) man in one hand and her Rocco bag in the other.

Why we love this bag: (1) We adore Alexander Wang (most of the time) (2) This IT bag is under $1000 (3) The feisty grommets on the bottom foil the bags iconic, feminine shape

We were getting tired of paying spa prices for a brow touch up between waxes so it was time to invest in a pair of tweezers for ourselves.

In the brow department, no one makes a better or prettier tool than Anastasia of Beverly Hills.

Made in Italy, these professional precision tweezers have a slanted tip and calibrated tension that gives you the ability to tweeze even the finest hairs without breaking the hair and skin.

These $28 tweezers are SO worth it.

We learned about Singer22 a few weeks ago from some of our favorite online shoppers and we are LOVING it! Who needs US Weekly when you can shop celebrity style online for free?

We have always said that leather jackets are an investment piece- BACK AWAY FROM THE PLEATHER! This week, Singer22 is having a SALE and we had to catch our breath when we found this PRPS Leather Cape.

It is 100% leather, only 50% of the price AND you get FREE shipping!
