This summer Ivan and I were invited to a wedding that had the world’s most specific dress code. We were instructed to dress in the style of 1960’s Hong Kong, as both bride and groom not only grew up in that country but also adore the period film In the Mood for Love. Always one to […]

My mom had her feelings about secondhand clothing, and since she controlled the pursestrings it was outfits from Gap Kids for me. But I was obsessed with finding a […]
One of our favorite parts of doing Two Girls, One Kit is having an excuse to explore all the amazing independent fashion labels out there!
