Fallon’s Newest Obsession

One of our most stylish sales girls showed me these Mother jeans yesterday and almost had heart palpitations as she talked about how much she loved them.

I think they are a “love it” or “hate it” kind of style … which side are you on?

Nicole Richie Two Ways

I was reading Instyle this month and they did a little feature on Nicole Richie that caught my eye because it showcased more than the usual “extreme boho” look.  These were my two favorites that are still available in stores so you can re-create the look yourself.

Nicole Richie Boho Chic


Here is Nicole wearing the Crinkle Maxi Dress from her QVC Collection.  Roll up the sleeves like she did and add way too much jewelry and you’ve got the best summer casual going out look around.  Plus the dress is only $115 (get it here).


Nicole Richie Rock & Roll


In this look, Nicole channels a classy rock star.  She’s wearing the Riya Dress from her Winter Kate collection and a Mulberry Jacket.  This looks is obviously a little more expensive, but splurge for the dress ($285 at Revolve here) and then pair it with an inexpensive blazer in nude or white (we’ve got a great one in our stores right now for only $79) and a cute pair of our $14 sunglasses.

lovelovelove - the tutu project

It’s undeniable.  Bob Carey is a badass.

Nine years ago, Bob started taking photos of himself in a pink tutu to make this wife, diagnosed with breast cancer, laugh. Now he’s self-publishing a book of these amazing pics and their funny anecdotes to raise funds to aid breast cancer research.

You should buy one.

From the Boutique Closet on Shoptiques

Ever wonder what boutique owners are obsessing about? Shoptiques brings you the top 5 picks from renowned y&i clothing boutique in San Francisco!

Shop Robyn & Robin’s 5 Must-Haves Now:

1. Ali Lattice Dress - This turquoise dress stands out with the intricately detailed neckline and nipped in waist with the fabric belt.  Pull it together with gold hoops, nude pumps and a great cocktail ring.

2. Salmon Jeans - Colored denim continues to feel so fresh this spring.  I’m loving this sunwashed skinny version, which would look great with a small cuff – just enough to see your ankle bone.  Pair it with an easy fitting white tank or tee, a long pendant necklace and sky-high cognac wedges – and you’ve got the perfect brunch-with-the-girls outfit.

3. Backless Braided Dress - This sexy maxi dress breaks away from basic black and looks amazing in this saturated purple.  Wear it with leather flip flops, a couple of gold chains at varying lengths, and wrap some leather bracelets around your wrist for a great wear anywhere look.

4. Racerback Cami Dress - A simple silhouette in a vibrant shade of coral is the perfect summer transition piece.  Transition from day to night by slipping out of your t-strap sandals and fringe bag into patent nude platform pumps and a shiny clutch.

5. Lolly Lace Short - The pop of color makes these lace shorts special and perfect for dressing up.  Stick to a simple silhouette and tuck in a silk black tank, add platform pumps and a statement necklace.  Grab a clutch and wait for your date to pick you up!
