Classic Brits

We are admittedly two car-obsessed ladies. When we found out that RM Auctions is staging a staggering sale of classic British motorcars on June 23rd during the Salon Privé, an English garden party-style car show and luxury goods fair at Syon Park, the sprawling London estate of the Duke of Northumberland, we had to share. Have you ever seen anything so beautiful? Callie’s calling dibs on the 1953 Jaguar Roadster and Nicki wants the 1962 Aston Martin DB4 Series IV Vantage Coupé.

Summer Dressing

As the temperature rises here in the city, we have to dress to stay cool when we hit the streets. Inspired by the effortless elegance found in Assouline’s Gypset Style by Julia Chaplin, this summer our mission is to look as chic as possible without melting; so we are stocking up on vintage and new kaftans.

Santa Monica Airport Antiques Mart

While in LA, Sunday mornings are our designated flea market days. The Santa Monica Airport Antiques Market took place the weekend we were there. We found a gorgeous standing lamp for a client and some amazing vintage dresses and kimonos for ourselves. Check out some of our favorite finds!
