Recapping Erin B's Guest Feature in the classic white Keds

Last Keds Week recap with our very special friend, EB!  As she always does, this creative fashionista took the shoes as a blank canvas and went WILD.  She took the look everywhere possible: leather pants, jeans, short skirts and maxi dresses.  We only wish we could style an outfit as perfectly as this beauty does.  Can't wait to have you again EB!

Huge thanks again to our friends at Keds!  We had so much fun and can't wait to partner again sometime soon.

Keds Week Recap: Jess’ green & blue houndstooth Keds

Today we're recapping Jess' fun week for her Florida version of the Keds 5x5 challenge.  I think it's safe to say that Keds are better with bare legs.  Jess' eclectic mix of shorts, bathing suits, dresses, rompers, ankle pants really drove that point home and we couldn't love her looks anymore.  Which look was your favorite?  Aaaand I think the better question is, when can we go back to Florida with you Jess?!

Keds Week Recap: Erin's Kate Spade striped Keds

Okay...we totally admit that we say "this week was the most fun week yet" literally every week, but we cannot deny how much fun this week was with Keds.  Erin chose a striped pair of Keds from their collection with Kate Spade.  The brown stripes were a perfect color palette for pairing with Fall textures.  Wool blazer, leather peplum, chunky sweaters, leopard details, knee high socks, and zippered skinny pants were some major trends for Foochie this week.

Scroll through to check out all 5 of Erin's Keds inspired looks and check back this week as we recap with Jess and Erin.

Behind the Scenes: Keds Week

Take a look behind the scenes of our Keds Week.  If you can't tell already, we had so much fun shooting with our friend Luke again this week. He's an incredible photographer and is so generous with his time and patience with us as we awkwardly try to stand in front of the camera.  One of Erin's favorite things to do when Luke's behind the camera is pretend like she's Heidi Klum--because Luke's shot the super model before (I know, we dieeee). That's usually why Erin looks like she's hysterically laughing (choking?) in all the pictures because she knows how miserably she fails at channeling her inner Klum.  Regardless, shoots with Luke and the girls are too fun.  When do we get to do this full time?!

Sneak peak: next week we're putting Luke in front of the camera for a girls vs. guys fashion face off challenge. 

We. are. so. excited.

Inspired by our Keds Week 5x5 challenge?  Wanna pick up a pair for yourself?  Head over to the brand spankin new Keds Shop at the Natick Mall.  It's Keds' first ever shop experience, which means all the Keds you could ever want all in 1 place.  We're not quite sure if that makes it easier or more difficult to pick the perfect pair.  Keds on Keds on Keds!

Kicking off Keds Week

Today we are kicking off our Keds Week Collaboration with a little eye-candy inspiration.  This week we're thinking a little bit of everything: shorts, skirts, tights, socks, black and white, bright colors...ohhh the possibilities that come with these little canvas sneaks. If you haven't already figured it out, we could not be more excited for our first footwear partnership!  Everyone knows that we fancy ourselves to be quite the #sneakerheads, and our love for Keds is no exception to that obsession. 

This week we'll be joined by a familiar face: our friend Erin Butner ("EB").  She crushed it during our Fourth of July Week and we are so pumped that she'll be joining in on the fun again.  And we're back with Luke behind the camera, so with these 2 creative brains behind the scenes, the art direction is sure to be off thaaa charts!

As always, check out our daily outfits on Instagram and check back this week for more Keds fun and our outfit recaps.

Recap: National Jean Week with Erin

Today we're recapping Erin's 5x5 collaboration challenge with National Jean Company.  She took on the challenge with a pair of Genetic Denim destroyed skinnies--and it proved to be much more difficult than she expected!  Erin is errr...vertically challenged :) so she was forced to rock her signature cuffed ankles.  And she really whipped out the big guns this week rocking a heel 3 out of the 5 day challenge--putting her summer ban on heels to rest!

If you wanna embrace this trend like it's 2003, head over to National Jean Company to pick up a pair of flattering distressed skinnies that'll look much better than your A&F distressed, paint-splattered flares looked at your high school homecoming dance.  We promise.

Recap: National Jean Week with Lindsay and Lindsey Recapping last week's collaboration week with National Jean Company and Lindsay and Lindsey. Lindsay Merowitz donned a Tobey Grey LBD for the 5x5 challenge and proved that this staple item is, of course, one of the most versatile pieces a girl can own. The skater style makes it easy to dress up or down and we love how Lindsay mixed it up with different tights & spandex for some serious layering. Lindsey McCarthy sprinkled a little Sporty Spice into the week rocking a navy blue Abbot bomber jacket from NJC.  We love how she paired it with skinny pants and killer accessories to really complete the looks: hidden wedge sneakers, retro sunnies, bling necklaces and Peter Pan collars.  This girl has got some steeeeeze. Head over to National Jean Company to check out these hot hot hot items. Locations in Newton, Boston and Wellesley. Thanks again for joining us girls.  We can't wait to play again sometime soon!

National Jean Company: Collaboration Party

Have you been following us this week on Instagram for our partnership with National Jean Company!?  It's been such a fun week so far with our 2 friends Lindsay and Lindsey as our guests taking on the 5x5 challenge.  Last night, we celebrated the collaboration with a party in the store on Newbury Street.  The pink cosmopolitans, blue denim cocktails and prosecco were a-flowin'.  And nothing is better than a little boozey shopping right?--especially with the 15% discount offered in the store during the party.

The party was a blast--but we definitely missed our Cass!  The pretty little preggo is due ANY day (!!) with her little girl, so she had to celebrate the collaboration from her couch at home.

Huge thanks to Steve & the girls at NJC for hosting and to our amazingly talented photographer for the week, Luke--Big Perm--Perkins.  And of course, SO many thank yous go out to all our fans for coming out to hang with us! We seriously can't do any of this without you.

Scroll through to see all pics from the party.  And check back for our full recaps next week to see how we mixed up our NJC items for the 5x5 challenge. 

And tell us, where do you think we should we do our next party?

We are beyond excited for this weeks collaboration with National Jean Company. A fantastic store with killer clothes we can't wait to share all week. Topped off with two lovely ladies who not only share the same name but a passion for fashion. Bring it betches! (at National Jean Company)

Recapping Sunny’s 5x5 challenge for San Francisco week with her Free People blush striped bodycon dress.  Sunny's mix of vintage finds from everyone's favorite San Francisco fashion-gold-mine, Wasteland, with eclectic accessories left us feeling wasted on her killer style.  Sunny, you've got some serious steeeeeelo.  Can’t wait for you to join us again! 

That's it for our San Francisco Week recaps. Maybe next time we head West the 5x5 girls will take the trip too.  Ah, we wish...

[fivedaysfiveways]

Recapping Holly's 5x5 challenge for San Francisco week with her $2.00 Goodwill thrifted overalls.  Yes, you read that right: we said TWO DOLLARS.  From styling them down with flats and funkayyy necklaces to styling them up with vintage heels and head scarfs galore.  Holly has inspired us to hit up Boston's local vintage stores & thrift shops--both for a killer deal and one-of-a-kind items.  What do you think: a vintage themed week sometime soon?!

Can't wait for next time for you to join us again Holly :)

Tomorrow we're back with Sunny's 5x5 challenge wrap up for our last San Francisco Week recap.

Happy Monday :) Today we're recapping Jordan's Five Days x Five Ways challenge from sunny San Francisco last week. 

Ummm...raise your hand if you went shopping this week looking for Jordan's Anthropologie sweater. Yup...we're guilty as charged.  Jordan rocked this sweater's versatility socks off--inspiring us to try some unexpected styling trends too: hello overalls.  Pairing the sweater with polka dots seemed to be an unofficial theme, and is this girl's shoe collection to-die-for, or what?

Huge thanks to Jordan for joining in on the fun and a big kudos for really upping the ante for all future 5x5 challengers.  We can't wait to feature you again sometime soon! I think we speak for all the 5x5 girls and all our fans when we say that Miss Jordie Rae completely crushed it. 

Scroll through and see all of Jordan's looks and be sure to check back this week as we recap Sunny and Holly's 5x5 looks too.

Leather Week: Jess' Recap

Wrapping up Jess' Leather Week.  Her 5 days proved to be just as busy as Erin's with her "real" job that she was also forced to take some late night pics.  Nothing worse than not having a second during the daylight to step outside...but Jess knows how to handle the grind.  She works hard for the monayyyyy!

And on Day 2 Jess celebrated her birthday like a true betch--birthday crown and all!

Can't wait to see how Jess will continue to infuse our favorite leather details into her 5x5 looks as the colder months creep along. 

[fivedaysfiveways]

Where did we get our staple leather items for Tuesday's BostInno feature, you ask?  We stopped by Wish Boutique in Beacon Hill for a little retail therapy, of course.  It was so much fun checking out their new fall arrivals. Tons of blacks, greys and cobalt blues filled the racks to welcome the cooler months.  As you saw in the feature, both Jess and Erin ended up choosing light-weight cashmere sweaters with leather details. Perfect fall transition pieces.

Wish is conveniently located right across the street from The Paramount on Charles Street in Beacon Hill...because what could be better than a indulging in brunch at The Paramount and some boozey shopping across the street afterwards :)

Thanks again to Wish!
