THE STORY
Rachel Appel, the founder of RK, is a self-described accessories girl. Her collection of luxurious, edgy bags and leather accessories feature details like spikes and chains for a bold, industrial look. . "I have always believed that the accessories make the outfit,” says Appel. “They are the first thing that people notice and more than likely comment on, whether it be a great belt, a big bold piece of jewelry or an amazing embellished handbag, they set the mood if you will. They tell people a little about who you are.” - AHAlife

Well said Rachel! Thank you for creating these bad-ass clutches that make me swoon. :::sigh::: One day I will have you my pretty... one day.

Jessica Stroup: Green this look

It's time to add some spunk to your daily wear! As I was flipping through the channels, I caught a glimpse of Jessica Stroup sporting this awesome look. I loved everything about it from the structured blazer, to the pattern on the dress, to the bold handbag, to the eye catching brooch!

Here's a little help on how to Green this look...

HFredriksson for Spring.



We love this sweet look to transition from winter into spring. Its shabby chic with a punch of color. I realized it's alot of color yes, but, as long as the tones are in the same family they compliment each other extremely well.  Our newest arrival from H Fredriksson is where it all began. I love this Box Dress because its versatile and comfortable.  It's still quite cold but not unbearable, to add some warmth opt for  H Fredriksson's Dolman Sweater and Maggie's textured tights.

  Now the accessories are what completes this look. This Matt & Nat bag is perfect for a day-to-night look, a bold bag is always key. Coclico's Argila booties, come on.. do I need to say more? Thinking about a daytime stroll? Don't leave the house without these... Waiting for the Sun shades made from 100% teawood.  When choosing jewelry, don't go overboard, less is more. Try these simple drop earrings by Norwegian Wood and this beautiful ring from our lovely neighbors at Wendy Mink!  You can't sport that beauty with out a manicure, priti's non-toxic nail polish will do just the trick. Light, airy and most of all fun, just like the ensemble!

Crop by David Peck

New arrivals in from Crop by David Peck!! We are in love with the splash of color these Taylor Dresses are bringing to the store. It reminds us that spring is indeed on the horizon. For now we will be pairing these gorgeous 100% silk crepe dresses with a cardi, tights and tall boots. Looking to show off some curves? Pair the Taylor Dress with a brave belt. We especially love the way the Lessie Belt adds texture to the ensemble.



BTW, Check out this amazing video by David Peck on his SS12 collection. It really brings new meaning to the word "inspiration".
