His & Hers

One of the ten million things on my to do list is to establish an editorial calendar for Design Darling in order to get better organized. And what better opportunity to roll out a few new features? I have a lengthy list of ideas but here's the first... a weekly style column featuring me and my boyfriend Michael! I know only about 0.0001% of you readers are men but I also know lots of you ladies are looking for ways to spruce up the wardrobes of the men in your life. So without further ado, the inaugural edition of His & Hers...
ON HIM: Polo Ralph Lauren sweater (similar here) / J.Crew t-shirt / Brooks Brothers pants ON HER: Old Navy shirt / J.Crew vest / H&M belt (similar here) / J.Crew necklace (similar here) / Urban Outfitters jeans / Madewell boots (similar here) / Dani Notes iPhone case / J.Crew signet ring (similar here)

Comfy and casual for an afternoon coffee date. We totally underestimated how freezing it was outside so we only got a few pictures before we had to head in but it's a start! What do you think?!

you guys are the cutest prepsters in town! love this. So funny because I also wrote last week how I've been feeling super disorganized with the blog. I brainstormed some columns and even though I only started the process last week, I already feel less stressed about blogging. Hurray for organization!

Ivan said...

I love this new feature! Thank God I'm one of the few guys that read your blog :)

Lauren {Stylized Existence} said...

This is a great feature. It will give me ideas for my boyfriend. Your outfit is so "you" from what I know of you based on your blog. I love when people show their true selves in their outfit photos!

I love both looks and this feature! Great idea!

Jess said...

This feature is just too cute. What a stylish couple you make! And thanks for sharing the items; I think you'll find a lot of people looking to add similar things to their wardrobes. :)

Hope you saw my tweet about the editorial calendar. My version is super simple but it takes a lot of stress and wonder of what to post off. You're going to two posts per day, right? An editorial calendar would definitely be your new best friend.

Fun idea, I say go with it! I love that fact that Michael was keen for it, if I mentioned something like this to the Hubs I would get an eye roll followed by an 'I don't think so.' HA! He is such a good sport & you are both so stunning! xx

I love this new series, I can't wait to see what else you do with it! I have the blue/white striped ON top & I love the way you paired it! That definitely gave me more options (especially since it's still cold where I am!) You are so cute & congrats on the boutique, everything in it is TDF! :)
