A Bag and an Outfit: Chambray Inspiration

1 / 2

Coachella Valley

Given a few bags in our collection (ok admit it!), some of us tend to choose our bag base on our outfit or occasion. And that's a fact that leaves most males in awe and questioning this frequent occurrence that happens in the universe. The bags in our shop are meant to be out of their dust bags and used in our daily trek or weekend adventures. There are plenty of chambray outfit inspiration floating around Pinterest lately that it's time to develop a styling board base on a bag. Our recently added Erin Templeton's Good Girl Bag,easily adjustable and lightweight, is a perfect example of a well-crafted utilitarian bag that can accompany you while running errands or traveling.  After being in Desert Hot Springs recently at our favorite place, this outfit maybe perfect even for  an outdoor concert...a possible Coachella outfit maybe? Some pieces just go together and this bag can be worn with a chambray shirt over a white tank. It's all about layers in the desert, because it can be hot or cold (and windy especially in this area!). Depending on how hot it is that weekend, you can also wear your favorite jean shorts, white jeans or a pair of sandals-the classic Saltwater sandals are my favorite!

Perfect Pairing: Clutch + Bag

Since Valentine's Day is a couple of weeks, the theme of perfect pairings seems to be a wonderful way to showcase certain pieces that are just great together. Whether they compliment or perfectly accent each other (hmmm sounds like a foundation for a relationship...), these pieces just seem to go together.  You know when you just see a couple that just seems in sync with each other. Okay enough of the analogy, but the Erin Templeton Girl Friday Clutch and Ellen Truijen 36 hours bag seem to be  that perfect pair.  They will get you through from work to a night out or a wonderful weekend getaway (Valentine's weekend getaway maybe?).

During the week, the clutch doubles as an IPAD case that can be thrown right in the 36 hrs bag, a versatile work or everyday bag. You'll have access to this clutch just in time for that happy hour that you sometimes need after work or a dinner date.  For the weekend, the 36 hrs bag is a great overnighter carryall while the clutch can hold some of your loose travel items such as make up and jewelry. More perfect pairings to come!

Holiday Season Promotion

Mammoth Lakes

Dreamin' of a winter wonderland? Or maybe you're enjoying summertime, for our friends in the southern hemisphere. I haven't been around snow in a while, so it was nice to visit Mammoth Lakes during Thanksgiving holiday. This little ski town in the eastern Sierras has transformed to a ski resort destination in recent years. Just remembering those snow boarding or skiing college trips, more like rolling down the hill for me. And I'm definitely not use to the cold any more with our endless summer this year. At least we're finally gettin' some rain at home!We definitely need it in Southern Cal. Well, since it's the last week of shopping before Christmas, enjoy 20% OFF ALL ORDERS with code: MERRY.
