Weekly Inspiration :: Primping, Pink, and Miracles

"I believe in manicures. 
I believe in overdressing. 
I believe in primping at leisure and wearing lipstick. 
I believe in pink. 
I believe happy girls are the prettiest girls.
 I believe that tomorrow is another day, 
and... 
I believe in miracles."
~ Audrey Hepburn 

Nothing is more important than feeling comfortable in our own skin. Embrace your beauty and your femininity. Find an excuse to let your girly side show through every day. Taking time for yourself, be it a manicure or a week long spa trip, allows us to focus back on ourselves so that we can be the best version of ourselves that we possibly can.
This confidence will surely be noticed, and will allow you to perform
your own everyday miracles.

Weekly Inspiration :: Happy 4th of July!

When an American says that he loves his country, 

he means not only that he loves the New England hills, 

the prairies glistening in the sun, 

the wide and rising plains, 

the great mountains, and the sea.  

He means that he loves an inner air, 

an inner light in which freedom lives 

and in which a man can draw the breath of self-respect.  

~Adlai Stevenson

Happy 4th of July!

Getting to Know Our Designers :: DulkinysDavis

Based in both San Francisco and Berlin, DulkinysDavis produces a chic and modern alternative

for fashionable women who want to stray away from mass produced items made in other countries. 

With a focus on leather, modernity, and U.S based production (including a factory in Oakland), DulkinysDavis is dedicated to both 

style and substance. 

Susanna Dulkinys, a branding and communication design specialist, joined forces with Martha Davis, a San Fransiscan with 25+ years in industrial design experience, to create an alternative fashion label centered around leather basics and high quality materials.

The designs are simple, focusing on essential silhouettes with a modern edge and twist. Each piece creates an easy chicness with a touch of luxury that can only come from the finest leather. 

Their pieces are both unexpected and at the same time "uniquely refined and appropriate". 

We love their take on the leather bomber, along with their curve hugging pencil skirt and trousers.

With style, function, and substance, DulkinysDavis is quickly becoming one of our favorite labels for the upcoming fall season. 

See an interview with Martha Davis below, as well as information on how to shop DulkinysDavis.

McMullen: A big part of your mission statement is to provide style and substance by producing within the U.S. Why is this important to the DulkinysDavis Brand?

Martha Davis: Because there is so much junk hurled at consumers anymore and luxury has become disposable. we believe in investing in things that have meaning and are lasting- things that have a story behind them and are made with quality and care. we source the finest materials available globally and on a small scale produce locally so we can control quality 

 

MM: What is the best part about working mainly with leather? What inspired leather

to become center stage for the brand?

 

MD: Leather has inherent value - it is durable, warm, breathable, resilient, and is more structural than fabric. It doesn't have a weave so patterns  can be placed with maximum economy. It doesn't need to be finished. Edges can be left raw. It is the ultimate strong and sexy!

 

MM: What are 3 essential pieces every woman needs in her wardrobe?

 

MD: 1. The blouson, which is like an uber sweatshirt - comfy, just the right casual and totally cool.

2. The trouser, the super modern track pant.

3. The zip skirt, what can I say? It makes every booty look amazing!

Weekly Inspiration :: Explore, Dream, Discover

“Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.” 

~ H. Jackson Brown Jr.

Never be afraid to live in the here and now.

 See the potential in every moment, and embrace the changes life throws your way. 

The only thing in life worth regretting is never taking a chance.

Weekly Inspiration :: Joy with a Smile

“Sometimes your joy is the source of your smile, 

but sometimes your smile can be the source of your joy.”

― Thich Nhat Hanh

Something as simple as a smile can change the world. Start a chain reaction and smile at a stranger. Chances are, they will notice and pass it along to someone else. This type of simple recognition between human beings can bring an immeasurable amount of joy. 

Share your smile with the world!

Weekly Inspiration :: Being Grateful

"It is not happy people who are grateful, 

it is thankful people who are happy."

~ Anonymous

Every day we encounter stress, chaos, and the unexpected. Sometimes it seems difficult to 

find the positive in every moment. But when we take a moment to stop and look around us, we find that there is so much to be grateful for. A clear blue sky, a shining sun, the laugh of a loved one, a slow sunset shared with someone special. Every day there are small moments that deserve our appreciation. Take the time to stop and give thanks for all that you have and share your positive energy with the world.
