Today's outfit is all about comfort! I started with a floral printed dress and added one of my favorite HUGE sweaters over the top. I put on tights and boots for warmth! Super simple, but still super cute! Plus, my dirty hair was perfect for these milkmaid braids! Xoxo, Alexa

I am a big believer in wearing everything in your closet all year around, especially because we live in California. I wore this romper with over the knee socks and a grey denim Levi's jacket to stay cozy. My favorite piece in this look is my new Free People necklace that I was recently gifted. Xoxo, danielle

Christmas and your birthday are great times to ask for items you want, but don't want to spend the money on for yourself. Use this as a tool to get the perfect new pieces for your wardrobe. We've learned that the more people know what you want, the more likely they will pick out an item on their own later on, if they feel the need to get you a gift. Make it known what your style is, clothing stores and brands you like, and then people will get you pieces you actually want to wear! What clothing items are on your wish list this year? xoxo, danielle & alexa
Danielle's holiday wish list: This year I'm wanting accessories, sweaters, and leggings, which can be worn and layered all year. I'm loving more neutrals and golds, so that's what you'll see below. Leather and sequin leggings are on my list, as well as open toed booties. The one thing I'm really hoping for is this amazing dark blue and rose gold Marc Jacobs watch, it's seriously killer. Fingers crossed! So this year when people ask you want you want for Christmas, tell them clothes and accessories :)
Alexa's holiday wish list: The holidays are the perfect time to ask for all of those clothing items you've been eyeing! this season I'm really into prints and mixing them with the basic staple items in my closet! I'm usually not into wearing black but have been wanting black booties for some time now, so I added those to my list too! A small purse is another must have for me since all of my current purses are huge and end up storing so much junk! Lastly, every season I love getting new holiday jammies and these thermal ones look so cozy!
I chose to style my denim jacket a little fancier. I started with a pink lace skirt and white button up shirt then accessorized with a skull printed scarf and burgundy wide brimmed hat. I added my denim jacket and glitter booties to finish off the look! I love that my jacket is a motorcycle style because its more fitted and has interesting details! Xoxo, Alexa

A denim jacket is a staple piece to have in your wardrobe. It goes with almost everything and will keep you warm this time of year. This vintage denim jacket is my favorite because of its worn look, which I love. For this fall outfit I threw it on over my Obey graphic sweatshirt and my Madewell orange pants. Wearing a jeweled necklace added a girly touch. Xoxo, Danielle

For today's look I was going for a grungier vibe. I borrowed this beanie from Eric and paired it with an oversized boyfriend cardigan. I wanted to keep the look a little feminine too, so I layered a vintage tee over a lace slip and added knee high leg warmers! Xoxo, Alexa

Autumn is the time for layering. Throwing my lace free people top over my floral print forever 21 dress was a fun twist on a normal way to wear either item. Boot socks over tights were my fun accessory and kept me warm. Of course I lastly threw on bangles and a vintage watch and my brand new Tory Burch sunglasses (a belated birthday present from Adam!).

For my Enjoy Essential graphic tee look I kept it pretty casual and let the shirt be the main focus! The loose fit and off the shoulder neckline was right up my ally! I paired it with a printed camo skirt and brown boots. For accessories I added my fave turquoise cuff and a chunky statement necklace in the same color palette so it stayed cohesive! Xoxo, Alexa
