Pretty Grunge

Silence + Noise blouse, 7 for All Mankind shorts, Ecote jacket, Cynthia Rowley tights, Kimichi Blue pumps, J.Crew socks, Anthropologie necklace, vintage ring, Lauren Merkin clutch.

If you’re a regular w&w reader you know that contributing writer Andrea and I share pretty much our entire wardrobes. So imagine our slight (read: large) thoughts of separation anxiety when it comes to clothes once I make my move to New York. Quelle horreur, I know! So, naturally, I’ve been getting my fill by mixing up pieces from our closet even more than usual and nothing calls for more fun with layering then chilly times like we’ve been having in San Francisco (I say “chilly” when everyone else would think “brisk”). Plus, I’ve been wanting to do the whole denim shorts over tights thing for quite some time now, too. Andrea gave an old pair of her jeans a new life when she cut them into these little guys.

And, I just have to say a big “Go Ducks” for my friend Mary. So sad they lost tonight, but on a great note, she got to become an aunt today, too so overall still a beautiful day :)

Lauren Merkin’s swoon worthy Spring collection

We’ve declared our love for her before, but we couldn’t help but highlight Lauren Merkin‘s fantastic spring 2010 collection of handbags and clutches. We own two of her signature clutches now and whenever we use them the compliments always abound…”what pretty fabric”…. “i love the shape”…”i want one!!”

So we’re happy to share some of our Spring favorites with you. We’re especially loving the lizard and croc leather in a vivid yellows, oranges and blues.
