fashion pairing: laid-back layers with a little (ok, major!) rocker bling

We caught up with Cindy Whitehead on Abbot Kinney in Venice Beach to discover how this former pro-skateboarder and sports stylist®, gets her signature laid-back, street-chic sensibility. Here, she layers neutral tones in loose fitting, baby-soft cottons paired with rocker bling to achieve a look that allows her to look put together while she’s shredding it up on the streets where she used to hang with the Dogtown crew.

Enjoy! XOXO~Shawna and Jennie

fashion pairing: fall into los angeles autumn style

Have you ever noticed how as soon as the temperature drops below 65 degrees the people in LA immediately rush to don scarves, boots, gloves, and their heaviest coats? Well, that’s because even though we Angelenos love the look of fall and winter, we rarely get a chance to break out a fall wardrobe the way east coasters do. So, then what do you do when you want to feel the seasons change…at least with regard to your personal style? Do what our girl, Val does and choose lighter fabrics in fall colors to create an autumn look that allows you to look put together in our 75 degree October weather.

XXOO~Jennie and Shawna

What she’s wearing: Vintage burgundy dress, two-tone sandals by Celine, Max Azria belt, YSL ring with stone in resin, leather bracelet by YSL, and gold bracelet by CC Skye.
