IT'S BEEN A WHILE... WE MISSED YOU ALL!





T.D.D. STYLE FILES | Fall Fashion Frenzy
Like most fashionistas we rejoice in the onset of fall. Seasonal winds bring an onslaught of many little things that make us grin: PSLs, denim anything and everything, leather boots, apple-picking season, autumn hues, chunky knits, and the list goes on...

On the fashion side of things, we have always loved fall styles best. The seasonal colors that accent our wardrobes make us feel warm and comfy: burnt orange, candy apple red, mustard yellow, brown rust, poppy gold. We get to dig into the depths of our closets and bring front and center once again old favorites (Frye boots, Polo sweaters). And of course it means layers. Lots of them. 

Unfortunately, fall has eluded L.A., as of yet, leaving us in a seasonal purgatory somewhere between summer and the promise of fall. Some days we are in denial that it is still 82 degrees and sundress-weather and we will wear our boots and flannels and scarves anyways – because it's mid-October and we should be allowed to do so (even if it means being uncomfortably warm and impractical all day).

In an effort to navigate dressing for this unseasonable weather, we've compiled a little impromptu style guide for our fellow SoCal gals - inclusive of special occasions and everyday wear. We've coupled the comforts of fall styles with the ease and informality of end-of-summer to create two unique looks sure to help you stand out at your next get together.

BAO DOWN



We love food, exploring and shopping. The Westfield Century City Mall combines all three!

Take A Bao located in the fanciest, hippest food court in Cali (at the Westfield Mall), offers a delicious, modern take on Asian cuisine. We often treat ourselves to the delicious fare after having visited the usual stores: Madewell, H&M, and ZARA. You might be confused with all of this bao talk. What exactly is bao? Basically, it is a dim sum dish that traditionally consists of a bun stuffed with vegetarian or meat filling. But "Take a Bao" has rolled out the dough, transforming the bun into a flat, doughy pita. Thira's bao was basically a fancy, Asian sandwich. But, the flavors and the unique texture of the bread are to die for.

Looks We Like: Dorothy Style Files

LOOK ONE

Scarf: Madewell
Wedges: TOMS
Skirt: consignment/vintage
Shirt: Target
Bracelets: Chinatown flea market, assorted bangles

Why we like this look:  Our apartment lives in infinity scarves.  They are easy to put on, always look great, no fidgeting required. Pairing with a skirt, wedges and a loose top, creates a casual yet elegant look.  We chose wedges for a daytime friendly look.  To turn into nightwear, pair with classic stilettos and a black blazer.



LOOK TWO

Denim Button up: Forever 21
Boots: Corso Como, Richmond Boot
Black Jeans: Forever 21
Necklace: Madewell gold necklace
Fedora: vintage
Watch: Michele Watch, with black patten leather band
Ring: vintage
Bracelets: bangles from India (travel gift)


Why we like this look:  Denim has been hot this season and from glancing at spring lookbooks, it isn't going anywhere.  Pair with white or black jeans for an easy, on-trend daytime look.  Spice up the classic look with a splash of color on your lips.  Bright red takes any outfit from mundane to sexy.  Personalize your look with vintage jewelry and a boyfriend watch.



LOOK THREE

Jean Jacket: vintage Abercrombie (kids)
Sunglasses: Ray-Ban's wayfarer, black
Bag (black): Marc by Marc Jacobs
Purse (red): vintage, red genuine suede 
Jeans: Madewell
Shirt: Old Navy
Boots: Roxy
Necklace: vintage



Why we like this look:  Bright blue skinny colored denim or pants are all the rage in LA.  Not to mention the color combo of bright yellow and blue is HOT.  Pairing two bright colors together will make your outfit pop.  Accent with classics, such as a denim jacket and comfortable boots.  A chunky necklace is a great statement piece to break up the bright, solid colors.
