three ways to wear lace and $500 giveaway

February 20, 2015

While we were in London last month, we popped into Reiss, a London based women’s contemporary line. We first met the lovely Reiss team last April, and it was so much fun to catch up and see their beautiful offices and flagship store.

After previewing the whole collection (so many beautiful things!), one common denominator was our love for lace. It’s funny how that works for us. We often like the same item, or are attracted to the same thing. But, how we style it, or the specific piece we choose, is always so different. Makes life interesting, and often challenges one of us to try something a little out of their comfort zone! The fun thing about lace is that it doesn’t have to be frilly or “lady-like”, it can be whatever you want to make it! We love all the lace that we are seeing for spring and the Reiss collection has so many great options. Now we get to the really good part – Reiss is giving away a $500 gift card to one lucky reader! Can you think of a better way to kick off the weekend?

To enter by following the instructions given in the Rafflecopter box below. The only mandatory entry is to follow Reiss on Instagram– the other options are for additional entries! Good luck!

We had the best time at New York Fashion Week. It was freezing cold & even snowed, but we stayed bundled up between meetings & shows, and managed to avoid frostbite! Besides the shows and meetings, connecting with new friends and catching up with old ones is one of our favorite parts of the trip. Our unpacking is not quite done, but we took some time out to find you this week’s best steals & deals. Happy shopping!

red handbag

February 17, 2015

When buying handbags, our number one rule has been to try to stick to a neutral, so it goes with as many pieces in our closet as possible. But, when you are a “bag lady” and the last thing you need is another neutral bag, you go all out and get a statement color. The Saint Laurent Sac de Jour (the nano is pretty adorable, too) has been on Stia’s dream handbag list for awhile, and luckily enough, Santa (aka the hubby) had it waiting under the Christmas tree this past year. To be honest, we were all a little nervous that the bag wouldn’t be very versatile because of the color, but let us tell you- we’ve found that red bags can be worn with everything! Styled here, here & here.
