RufCut | Cut & Sew Design Studio

I stumbled upon this awesome cut & sew shop on the West Side one afternoon. I stepped inside and immediately fell in love with the interior design. The jeans hanging from the walls, the pins in the barrel, the old school coca-cola signs, union special sewing machines... everything!

RufCut specializes in jean repair and has an impressive collection of vintage levi's jeans from the 50's to 70's.  Rob, the man behind it all, is an very lively and friendly guy. He is the expert in the jeans lingo and has been featured in many prominent magazines internationally. He even designed the place himself!

That's him!

Hallo Halloween

Halloween is back again! Do you know where you're going, what you're doing and what you'll be dressing up as? We haven't given it too much thought yet but we did scope around the internet for some inspiration. Some of my favorite ones are of course the creative parents that dress their kids up. 





And our favorite gif...

Here's some of the outfits we put together in the past!
We have large boxes of costumes we've kept over the years just for occasions like these! I must say all of Court's dance costumes really came in handy! Can you tell which ones they are? 
Trish & Ed - The most creative and committed! Favorite outfit will have to go to the disco divas on the right!
Maddie got to participate last year too as Carlos, the Hangover baby!
Erin - The skeleton, the disco chick & the ultimate geek, and wonder woman. 
Court - The lazy one... To the left is zombified lara croft, and in the middle is Skrillex. Can you tell?

What will we be this year?! Wait for it.... Wait for it....

Thrift Shoppin

While it’s still hot in LA on the weekends, I like to take advantage of the fact that I don’t have to layer just yet! After a long day of running errands, we decided to finish our day on Melrose and hit some fun stores to see what we could find.

Ryan had hurt his foot a week before and so we went out to look for a stylish cane. Funny enough, we found an awesome one at a drugstore! You can check out his look here as he took on LA fashion week with his pimp cane!

It was nice to just relax and enjoy the breeze flowing in while the sun disappeared... But... then it got really cold, and I regretted not bringing a sweater. I can just hear my grandma telling me I was stupid not to bring one out :\ haha

For the Home: A Pouf

I've been looking for a pouf for awhile now just to add another seat to our living space. But I can't seem to find the right one! I want one that's really squishy, comfy, and affordable. Most of the ones I've found aren't made of good soft material. I would prefer a bright colored one but a chic leather one would be nice too. Our living room has a lot of dark colors, so I think a colorful or patterned pouf would add a splash of coziness to the space!

Here's my collection of pouf ideas, also found on our pinterest.
