His & Hers - On Holiday

Hello dear friends!!  Thank you for visiting.  

His & Hers has officially unplugged for just one week, while we soak up some sun and much needed R&R on the Mexican coast.  If you need us, we'll be on the beach under a palm tree, somewhere like this...

Have a wonderful week!!

{Five} of Our Favorite Things

We couldn't be more excited to arrive upon this Friday, because it means in just one short day we'll be soaking in a week of sun and surf in Mexico!!  A much needed break from the cold and general stresses of everyday life.  It's been a great week though.  One full of equal parts work and play... such as skipping over the mid-week hump by spending a fun evening out with my Dad while he was in town on business.  A delicious dinner at Gemini Bistro followed by a nightcap and trivia at Four Farthings was the perfect way to keep this week rolling toward the weekend!!  Here are just {five} of our other favorites from this past week...

Hers - Pixied It

Some of you guessed it... Monday's "Personifying Pixie" post was a hint that I'd changed my hair.  Nothing drastic, but I did lose some inches.  It must be the impending spring, or all the adorable pixies in the fashion pages these days, but I couldn't help myself from going shorty short {again}.

His - Winter White

The handsome lads over at The Midwestyle recently inspired the {His} to try his hand at wearing white in the winter.  I've always been a fan of winter white.  There's just something so striking and sophisticated about the color in the cold, so I was excited to see the {His} break a standard routine of darks for something a bit brighter despite the season.  I love the whole look he created ~ a heavy, winter-weight sweater balanced the coolness of the bottoms and finishing with a cognac wingtip brought it all together in classic fashion.

{Five} of Our Favorite Things

It has been a wonderful week!!  Between ice skating dates, shopping city markets, dining with my Dad while he was in town, and a wonderful Valentine's Day evening out with my {His}, I couldn't have asked for more.  Here's to a fantastic weekend and just {five} of our favorite things from this past week...

Hers - Go Red

In honor of Valentine's Day, I've been going red all week.  Be it a pop of red at the lip or all-over red with my very favorite vintage cape, I've been finding ways to work bright and cheery cherry reds into my wardrobe.  I actually wore the red look below to last Sunday's Dose Market {featured in yesterday's post}.  I went red to Dose and it couldn't have been a more perfect way to kick-off this Valentine week.

His & Hers Picks - Dose Market

We joined a dear friend on Sunday afternoon for a stroll {and bit of snacking and shopping} around Dose Market.  It was our first time attending and were instantly hooked!!  Set in a beautiful location at the River East Art Center and jam-packed with high-quality food, fashion, furniture, and other great findings, we think this market is one to not be missed.  We're already making plans to Dose another Sunday away at next month's gathering.  Be sure to check out more info {here} and a little more below...

Here are just a few more snaps from our first dose of Dose...

His - Be My Valentine

Happy Valentine's Day!!  We hope you're having a sweet start to this lovely day and have even sweeter plans for this evening.  Be it with your honey or dear family or friends, everyone deserves a little Valentine's Day delight.  My mister and I are looking forward to a romantic dinner date at one of our favorite local Italian spots.  Nothing fancy, but all very fun.  There's just nothing better than an evening with my handsome Valentine.
