Summer Work: LPM Lookbook July

"Instaaagram!"

With Summer more than half way over (say it ain't so!), we realize this lookbook may come a tad late--- we actually shot it in the beginning of June, but due to a variety of factors, we are finally releasing it now!  The concept "Summer Work" came from this idea--- what if, instead of middle-aged day laborers/landscaping men in work boots and ripped jeans, we replaced them with gorgeous LPM girls in 5 inch heels and neon?  The result had us parading around Columbia Heights in 90+ degree weather on a Sunday afternoon, scrambling to borrow a truck last minute, and asking a confused neighbor if we could mow his lawn (I don't think he minded too much).  People came out to their front porches to watch the procession and wanted to know-- could they too, have a cameo in our "rap video?"

A big thank you to the wonderful team that worked on the lookbook!

All the azaleas have come out in our neighborhood--I would have to say this lilac-infused-with-pink-ish color is my favorite! (God, the pastel trend has even taken over my choice in flowers) Alas, they are not mine, this particular bush belongs to a neighbor down the street----decided to borrow it for this blog post. Can we just switch? I swear no one will notice me digging it up...

  

I dip-bleached this jacket the other day and am loving the end result! The only challenge is getting the bleach smell out (it takes a few washes which I am not willing to wait for/waste water on)... so I just smell intensly of Clorox right now. No amount of Victoria's Secret Heavenly is covering it up--hopefully this will serve another purpose, like keeping away mosquitos. And probably people.

Have you seen our "Supermercado" mini lookbook yet? It's bananas, literally!

Here are a couple of extra photos that didn't make the cut for our Valentine's lookbook (including photo #1 that we deemed, shall we say, not safe for children)--- we had such a hard time choosing because we literally loved ALL of them. Julie from Violet described our look perfectly when she called it "to die for romantic, sweet, and a little bit naughty..."  What do you think? Are there any of these pictures that you would have included?
