What would we do without the basic t-shirt? Worn casually with a pair of faded jeans, under a crisp work blazer, or paired with a flowy skirt for evening, cap sleeve, tank, or v-neck, there is no other item I reach for more often, especially during the warm weather months.

We’re often asked about our clothes on our TV series Anna & Kristina’s Grocery Bag. Here are some of the things we wore during the episode 100 Recipes Every Woman Should Know.

Last night I attended a fundraising gala and for some reason I thought it was a black tie event. Even in Vancouver, The Most Casual City in the World, anything calling itself a gala should mean a cocktail dress for women and a very nice suit for gentlemen. I also love a tailored women’s tux. You get my point.

I’m so ready to spring forward and jump right into warm weather fashions. Here are some of the pieces I’m loving this season. I’m keeping things simple and classic, with a few bright twists and some bling thrown in for good measure. I have to admit, a few of these items have already found their way into my closet!

Kristina and I took a break from the Vancouver rain recently and turned a meeting in LA into an excuse for a full weekend in the sun, complete with other gal pals, shopping, chardonnay and pool time. Fun!

We’re all about using the right tools for the job, and having the perfect vacation accessories is at the top of the list! We asked our friend VitaminDaily.com editor-in-chief Sarah Bancroft to share her packing list with us as she plans her spring break in California.

For all the fashion lovers out there, we take you on set to find out more about the outfits we wore in Anna and Kristina’s Grocery Bag episode 69: The Babbo Cookbook.

During my fall shopping expeditions I’ve noticed that everyone from Joe Fresh to J Brand is coming out with their version of the coated jean. Whether they’re black, grey, burgundy or silver, denim made to look like leather is one of the biggest fashion trends this season.
