Spring 2015 Trend Report & Top Picks!

September 30, 2014 By Emily Leave a Comment

Get excited people because Spring 2015 is going to be pretty! Think soft & refreshing. A mixture of cool & warm tones. A nice departure from the predictable pastels.

The crop top is still in. I can’t believe that I am actually going to say this but I’ve come around to it. I know, I know, but the fashion companies are making it more wearable. The crop isn’t soo cropped – it’s hitting right at top of your jeans. Expect to see some at Milly & Grace!
We saw a lot of halter necklines – both in dresses and tops.
Neon is out.
One thing I get asked year after year is, “Are maxi dresses going to be in next year?”. My answer: I don’t think they are going anywhere. I think I can speak on behalf of most girls and say that we love wearing them. You just feel pretty in them! And you don’t have to shave your legs.
Sheer is in. I’m seeing sheer details and lots of sheer skirts (with linings of course).
Vegans cover your eyes. Suede is in.

And without further ado, here are some of my top picks from a few Milly & Grace brands:

JOIE HALTER MAXI

JOIE LACE ROMPER: Wouldn’t this be perfect for a bride-to-be to wear to her shower?!

PARKER SUEDE TOP

PARKER PARTY DRESS – with sheer details!

REBECCA TAYLOR PARTY DRESS – the flower details are spectacular!

REBECCA TAYLOR PARTY DRESS – This dress is a show stopper. And we love the sheer details!

REBECCA TAYLOR MAXI (1 for me please!)

REBECCA TAYLOR CROP TOP & SKIRT COMBO – I told you that I picked up a few crop tops! SPLENDID SHOES: We love Splendid shoes because they have great everyday styles for a great price! Most of them run around $100 or less.

BELLA DAHL CHAMBRAY. Chambray is still very much in and you can do so much with this dress!

And for the grand finale… We picked up a new line! CHAN LUU clothing. When you hear Chan Luu, you automatically think of their famous bracelets. But they started doing clothing and it’s beautiful! I stopped dead in my tracks when I saw this skirt & sequin top! This is only just a taste of what’s to come!

Is it Spring already?? Let me know what your favorites are so I can order enough!!

Same Page Monday

September 29, 2014 By Allison 1 Comment

Well hello everyone… It is Monday and I am really happy that it is Monday! I have had a crazy last two weeks. And I feel this week, I might have some time to get back on track with some of the old things I used to do.. like blogging, working out, going to bed at a normal hour… which I have to say sounds very, very exciting to me!

So let me get you on the Same Page…

1. I freakin loved Caroline’s Wedding Wednesday post last week… I loved that goldish/yellow/honey color! I loved everything about it and how adorable was that little boy. She really has an eye for weddings. That’s why I didn’t even try to do an inspiration board when I filled in for her!! Well done, Cezzie Face!

2. Emily was out of town this past week for a Hollister family wedding… which meant that Pom Pom had to puppy sit Puppy Girl, Ivy!!! We all got updates from Pom Pom on how Ivy was doing.. look at how happy she was with her Pom Pom. Pom Pom obviously spoiled her rotten!

3. The reason why things have been crazy for me the last few weeks is because I recently jumped on board with an amazing team of artists to help start their production company. Last week, we shot a piece for a series they have been producing called Out The Box. Now, this series, and probably everything we produce, does not exactly go along with the Milly & Grace brand… but I believe that it does because the same amount of heart and soul that goes into everything that we do goes into everything we do with Lineage… the passion… the compassion… the artistry… is so much that I can’t even begin to explain. I am proud to be a part of this team. Can’t wait to share more with you!

4. George Clooney got married this weekend.

5. Bill Clinton became a Grandfather this weekend.

6. I am the worst sister ever because I rain checked Sunday Funday with my little sister yesterday.

7. Isn’t it the worst thing ever when you don’t learn your lesson the first time or the second time or the third time. Ugh. Got it now. (I think/hope.)

8. That’s it for now!! Let’s regroup here next Monday… xoxo

Wedding Wednesday

September 24, 2014 By Caroline 1 Comment

Hey, happy Fall!! It’s not quite Fall here in California yet…in fact, I can’t even look at a scarf right now because it is just too hot! But, I love fall so much and can’t wait until it arrives here in Malibu. (Maybe in December??) Anyway, I decided to get my fall fix by living vicariously through fall weddings! When I saw this picture of this bride with her bridesmaids in that awesome mustardy/honey yellow color, I swooned. I actually found this picture about a month ago and I have been dying to dream up a wedding based on that. And since fall has officially begun, I thought there is no better timing for it than right now. Here’s what I came up with:
