the union forever.

often times sarah and i call ourselves fashion outsiders. it is true.

we live in california and handmake these pieces that people just

don't know what to do with. then we go to new york and desperately

try not to be ignored or worse written off. meanwhile we are here in

california working like slaves to for something, anything. where is the romance?

the call? yes i do resent the teachers who took and took and never gave.

well i am sorry, but i am not interested in branding, licensing, or marketing.

are we everything fashion hates.

its been raining in california, cold and wet.

ps: first batch of necklaces went out on friday

friends only project!!!!!!

hi all!

we have been working and working on this friends only project

which is a special treat for you our friends!!

what is this project pray-tell?

we have been working on a special set of necklaces- small little handmade chunk necklaces (as always hand made by us!) in 9 different colors. they are small, awesome and every time we give someone one i see them wearing it all the time (!) because they are not only fun to wear but they look good with everything - no i am serious i saw a friend of mine wearing one with a bathing suit once and it looked sooo coool!

and to prove this we gave these necklaces to a few friends of ours to play with and

bring into their wardrobe!

and here are the pictures!...

hi all,

sorry to be so lax in posting, i know that is bad form.

there are a lot of things happening and not happening right now.

plus i painfully abused this thanksgiving thing, not to post.... sorry

i was in tucson and sarah is in Houston (<- not "house-ton" the way they say it in new york.)(we are the wild pair of fashion. )

while in Tucson i got a senora dog which is good but cannnnooooottttt hold a candle to the tj dog that you see littering the streets of los angeles. oh you know the one.... (if you have never visited los angeles/ don't live here, then i am sorry. oh and you should get on that .) we also used black friday to vintage clothes shop. i got a pair of very smart mens tasseled loafers (perfectly broken in might i add...) the one time it paid off to have big feet. adrian and i got maybe 14 sweaters between us (thank god it was half off day at the salvation army!). my favorite being a boys wool sweater with little white sheep all over it ( and much to my surprise after getting home and washing it ) a secret sheep that has a squeak toy in it ! i realize that may seem ridiculous but i freaked out and died laughing. then i wouldn't stop squeaking and annoying/ teasing skully (who now wants to eat said sweater. ) naughty little dog!

found a little awesome for part sarahs xmas gift (dont tell her i told you).

oh how i could go on .....

xoxo
