Feeling in the mood for romance and whimsy this week.  I’m getting ready to jet off on a European vacation with my Love, so my mind is wandering to beautiful sites and peaceful places.  I want to dress beautifully effortless, wander the streets of a new city, eat delicious food and experience something new.  I’m in the mood for adventure and romance!  If only life were like a vacation at all times… I guess that is the key to happiness; finding joy in the mundane by seeing things in a different light.  Sorry for the late Eye Kandee. It’s been one of those weeks; Katie is traveling for work and as you can see I’m having a hard time focusing.  Lol!  Better late than never right?  I hope this Eye Kandee inspires romance and adventure for you this week, even if it is just by seeing things in a new way!  Ciao!

Monday already????  The weekends sure do fly by!  On a positive note, it’s that day of the week to start off fresh and to get excited about what the week has to offer!  I was feeling a peaceful vibe on Sunday and was trying to channel my inner bohemian spirit with some of today’s Eye Kandee selections!  Lately I have been trying to live a little more free and without stress on what the future holds!  There is something so admirable about the bohemian way of life.  A way of living with no room for self-doubt and insecurities.  It’s also an uninhibited courageous way of living in each moment and making sure that you are happy and content with the simple things! We have both been feeling this way and will be striving to live more liberated but yet still grounded!  Hope everyone has a peaceful Monday and a happy October!

                                                Love,

This past weekend it finally felt like September and that Autumn is on its way (despite the climbing heat temperatures here in southern Cali)!!  Football was on television, a spiced pumpkin latte was in my hand and there was an overall cozy feeling in the house that only comes with this time of year.  Yes, we are glad to see you September!! We are definitely excited and READY to start sporting our fall attire!!  Boots, boots and more boots!!  There are so many great pairs out this season and we can’t wait to get our hands on some.  Pairing them with an oversized sweater or a great jacket, sounds like a pretty stylish and comfy way to start out this fall season!  Here are some of our Eye Kandee inspirations to get you excited about this transition into harvest season!

                                            Love,

It’s that time of year when you’re either gearing up to get out-of-town or you’re dreaming of the perfect summer getaway.  This August heat has us all yearning for a relaxing vacay!!  Whether it’s a tropical retreat or escaping from society for a weekend of camping under the stars.  If only we could all take the month off!  I don’t think that’s too much to ask! Do you?  So, if you don’t have that getaway booked already, we hope we have inspired you to start planning an end of summer trip!  Let us know of all the places you have been dying to visit!!  Hope your Monday is filled with getaway fantasies!

There are certain times in a girl’s life when she dresses for her man and then there are those times when it’s all about what feels good, even if it is a complete man-repeller.  Insert: HAREM PANTS.  Yep, that’s right!  harem pants, drop-crotch, Hammer pants…They’re back from the dead.  This is one of those items that can either look bad ass or just plain old bad news!  Either way, they’re going to be a turn off to the opposite sex and that’s ok!!  We think women’s fashion should always be about what you love, because if you feel good, you’re confident and confidence is always sexy.  With that said, they do have to be styled the right way, so take some tips from these pics… A slightly fitted harem seems to be more flattering (if you can use the word flattering and harem in the same sentence).  Offset the bagginess with high-heels, and don’t go too loose on top.  We are currently obsessed with Free People‘s Mermaid Sequin Harem pants…a little gypsy, and a little luster!  If only we could figure out a way to justify a purchase that big, that may or may not lead to a ‘WTF!!’ moment in the future.  Until then, we will embrace because frankly we think they’re pretty bad ass!

We have a serious Mara Hoffman obsession!!  Every piece she creates is pure genius.  Her swimwear/resort collections…I mean!!!!!  It doesn’t get any better! Each piece makes us want to jet set away to an exotic location and fall in love with the culture.  You can definitely tell she is influenced by world travel.  A mix of tribal inspired bright-colored prints, Aztec geometric shapes and a bohemian flare equals exotic perfection!  If we can’t have every piece maybe we can score at least one of these beautiful swimsuits below….just MH dreamin’!

Here are a few online stores where you can find Mara Hoffman: Bona Drag, ShopBop, Free People, Singer22 and of course Mara Hoffman.  Hope you’re having a beautiful day!  It’s getting hot out there, so stay cool.    xoxo,  K&A

  We are so excited that the summer sunshine is here and we know the hot weather has definitely arrived!!  Even though the days will be getting warmer and we will be wearing less clothing to stay cooler we know the nights still get a little chilly, so we wanted to introduce you to some of our summer must-haves that will bring a little warmth and comfort to your summer collection!  Summer knits and crochets are two great additions to have in your closet this season!!  The summer knits can be airy and light weight.  They look great as a coverup to any bathing suit and also look great with those denim cut-offs and maxi skirts!  The knits can be on the heavier side as well, for those cooler nights at the beach or an outdoor picnic.  They are really versatile and can be worn from day to night!!  Crochets are another fun way to ring in the summer! They have an amazing texture that creates such a fun bohemian vibe!  They range from bathing suits to shorts and to many colorful tanks and shirts!!  They remind us of Coachella and all the summer outdoor music festivals!!  So,  if you have a fun summer concert you are attending and need to stay cool from that summer heat, crochets are a perfect way to go!

What’s the fashion rule? …no white jeans before Memorial Day?  Well, either times are a changin’ or we’re all a little lax on the rules.  For us it’s actually been Winter into Spring whites and now it’s Summer whites all the way!!  Maybe we feel we can get away with it more because we’re in sunny California, I don’t know…either way white jeans are a must for Summer.  It’s all about how you style them and the options are endless.  Pair them with bright-colored sandals and a grey t-shirt for a day trip or at night swap your sandals for heels and throw on a leather jacket.  They are truly a staple piece to have in your closet this summer!!  So, check back for our take on the Summer whites and also stay with us to find out where you can find some great deals on those essential white jeans! Hope you guys have an amazing day!!! xoxo, K&A

There is something so magical about feathers and when we see them worn in something as bold and beautiful as a headdress we are instantly intrigued! This isn’t something we would normally wear in everyday life but it makes for amazing photos right?!! Feathers have definitely made an appearance in today’s fashion trends including earrings, necklaces and feather hair extensions.  One of the reasons feather headdresses are so interesting is that they have a regal essence about them and as we know, in the Native cultures they were worn with much respect and symbolism.  When one received an Eagle Feather that person was being acknowledged with gratitude, love, and ultimate respect.  The feather symbolizes trust, honor, strength, wisdom, power, and freedom.  If only we put that much importance and thought into what we wore!!  So when you’re rocking the popular Tribal and Native trends wear them not only because they’re pretty but also wear them with pride, because they hold a deeper meaning. Thanks for reading!!
