Pendelton Coats are back!

Blanket Coats have been making their way back into fashion over the past couple years, but when I saw this new collab between Pendleton and Opening Ceremony, it gave me a total 90's flashback!! My Aunt Karen had a company called Tintic Blanket Wear and she used Pendleton fabrics to make coats and blazers in all these super amazing bright colors and patterns... I think for my like 12th birthday she gave me a teal aztec printed vest that I would rock on top of my oversized denim shirt! J'adore the 90's style!! lol.. I'm trying to get my cousin Kacie to send me pictures from their catalog, for which she was the model! I loved it and was super impressed!! Do you guys have any of those coats left that need a new owner? If so send them my way ;)) hehe. xoxo

Coco Avant Chanel- MUST SEE


Alysson and I got to go see an early screening of Coco Avant Chanel a few weeks ago at the Sony building with our bestie Kelly.. It comes out in September and I highly recommend that everyone should see it- Chanel lovers and film lovers alike.. I love a good fashion film and have watched probably every documentary about Chanel up to this point, but this is not a fashion movie- it is Avant Chanel afterall, and really shows her life before Paris and her love affairs with two dashing french men... Audrey Tatou was brilliant and all I want to wear now are nautical stripes!! J'adore!
