Never A Wrong Time For Polka Dot

admin — Thu, 26 Oct 2017 11:00:29 +0000

Never a wrong time for polka dot .. As Marc Jacobs so eloquently put it “I don’t think there is ever a wrong time for a polka dot …”! My thoughts exactly Mr. Jacobs, because there never really is. As we endure scorching temperatures here in LA, reaching 97 degrees yesterday, it’s been quite challenging to get excited for fall. So I shall call this my “transitional look” with some spunky bows and polka dots of course. A light weight dress like this is perfect in these awkward days as we patiently wait. Patiently wait for the temperatures to drop so that we can finally throw on those boots that keep staring at us in the closet and peacefully sip on our steaming hot seasonal drinks with out wiping sweat off our foreheads. I paired this dress with simple, strappy heels and a denim jacket over the shoulders for when the chillier LA evenings creep around again. It gives an elevated yet effortless look for this time of year. So ladies, take advantage of this time. I know we all so badly want to curl up in an over sized sweater and our favorite pair of boots but soon we will be longing for warmer weather […]

Last Sip of Summer

This post was sponsored by Rueda Wine and all opinions expressed in our post are our own. Last Sip Of Summer It’s no secret that we love our wine, it’s how 52 Thursdays was founded after-all! And just like many of you, we have favorite wines that we tend to reach for as the seasons change. Summer is for rosé sipping, fall is for the hearty whites and winter is made for the rich reds enjoyed fire-side. So as we slip out of summer and into fall, it’s time to trade our trusty rosé for something different. We love all wines, we really don’t discriminate when it comes to color or flavor. So when we were introduced to Verdejo (white wine) from the Spanish region Rueda we were certainly intrigued to try. One of the reasons we love fall so much is that life seems to slow down just a bit, with less vacation, travel and plans. It’s the perfect time to brush up on our hosting skills with more friends in town to invite over. Dinner parties are one of our favorite things to do and having new wines to try and share is always a good time. Plus […]

Poncho Season

admin — Thu, 24 Dec 2015 12:00:26 +0000

It’s officially Poncho Season. It starts at the very beginning of fall when we are all eager for the very first day temperatures drop even the slightest. We pull out the tall boots, layering pieces and throw on our ponchos for a cozy, comfortable outerwear look. But then it gets colder, and colder … and we soon loose track of the days as our ponchos become layering pieces underneath our layering pieces. Eventually they just become stylish indoor wrap blankets, or better yet a fashionable snuggie. That is until temperatures become acceptable to wear outside again as a warm throw. These ponchos from Kensie are our absolute favorite pieces this winter because they are super soft and can be worn with everything from our pjs to our snow boots! They were the perfect layering pieces for our time out on the farm and you can be sure we will both be packing them along when we head home for the holidays! Michelle is wearing- Poncho (Kensie) Top (Enza Costa); Denim (Joe’s) Socks (Nordstrom); Boots (Hunter Boots). Sarah is wearing- Poncho (Kensie); Top (Urban Outfitters); Denim (H&M); Socks (Nordstrom); Boots (Sorel). All photography by Lauren Gay Wishing you all a happy holiday season, from our families […]
