Now that we have had 3 days of cloudy weather, people are taking out the jackets and scarves!
MJ ballet flats are always a great option if it’s not cold enough for boots. We have new styles coming so be on the lookout for those (they are so cute!)
California is spoiled by mild seasons but we thought we'd share our favorite pieces that complete our Fall Faves.
Infinity scarf
This gorgeous and luxurious scarf is from Nordstrom. You will never want to take it off. It is a bit pricey but who doesn't deserve a splurge every once in a while??
Layering Tank
Even when the weather is Arctic, layers are key. You need to be able to adjust your outfit without undoing your whole look when the coats and outerwear come off. This Knot Sister tank is perfect because of the cut, giving you great coverage while always looking fab.
Leggings
We are Obsessed with leather so why not put them with our favorite pants?! Genius! Leather Leggings dress up any outfit and make you feel like a rockstar! (Entourage and microphone sold separately).These are by Paige.
Floppy hat
Hats are perfect when the weather gets cold and you have to keep your head nice and warm. Also they are the best accessory to hide your bad hair day or 3rd day post shampoo.This oxblood color is everywhere this season so add this little pop of color to keep on trend without going overboard!
The best part is this look goes with any kind of shoe you want! Boots! Flats! Sneakers! Here at MJ HQ flip flops are almost part of the uniform... But sometimes we like wearing other footwear (sshh don't tell). That is why this outfit is so amazing- it goes with everything. Show us how you style your favorite fall looks.
xoxo!

So this week is dedicated to Fall in California!
For us here at MJ, the office is buzzing because we all want to be outside and enjoy the warmth instead of glued to our desks (a job we really do love, by the way!).
In case you don't know what the Santa Ana winds feel like here is a little description from our friends at Wikipedia:
The Santa Ana winds are strong, extremely dry down-slope winds that originate inland and affect coastal Southern California and northern Baja California. Santa Ana winds blow mostly in autumn and winter. Santa Ana airmasses originate from high-pressure systems over the Great Basin and upper Mojave Desert. The Santa Anas are a katabatic wind—katabatic meaning "to flow downhill" in Greek, which is an accurate description of the action of these winds
So we are thankful these winds have been tame thus far and hope we continue to enjoy the sunshine without any problems.
Another wonderful side effect of Fall, is the beautiful sunsets. You probably have 85 of them on your phone every evening around 5:30 when all your friends post a picture.
Here are a couple amazing shots that will make anyone who is currently experiencing snow, consider moving to California.
Maybe the best part of Fall is the clothes... scarves, boots, hats, and jackets. Except it's currently 88 degrees today so we are still wearing flip flops and tank tops. Got those moving boxes ready yet? California style is the perfect mix of cool and comfortable. Fashion meets function. So many people are desperate for cold weather, they are sweating while wearing their cable-knit sweaters! But some of us could live like this forever...endless Summer...perfect weather.
So safe to say we are extremely blessed to live in such a wonderful place, surrounded by the Pacific ocean and enjoy breathtaking weather. Therein lies the spirit of MJ...us trying to give you a tiny piece of majestic California to take with you wherever you are and wherever you go.
xo xo!

Just because we don't trick-or-treat anymore doesn't mean we can't still indulge on sweets this time of year. Which is exactly why we want to buy and eat everything from Fat Witch Bakery. Buuuuut if we could only choose one thing, it would most definitely be the double chocolate witch (brownie, that is). But why choose one flavor when you can order a brownie box, which is full of a variety of the yummy brownies. Indulge. Enjoy. Repeat.
We'll be the first to admit that we love pumpkin everything starting about August. It seems like each year there are more and more pumpkin flavored anything--and we love it. But by about this time, we are pretty much pumpkined-out. This is an accurate depiction of most of us right about now.
Thanks for stopping by for this week's Halloween-themed edition of Things We Love. We hope you have a fun and safe Halloween!

California is the most beautiful place in the world and we are so lucky to call it home! We enjoy warm weather, gorgeous sunsets and bonfires nearly year-round. Because our weather so outstanding we have the luxury of wearing flip flops and flats as our staple shoe choices. If you are feeling a little bit jealous of California, grab some Malibu Jane's and bring some sunshine to your wardrobe.
xoxo,
Lauren

]]>One of the best things to do in the summer time is cruise down the famous Highway 1 or better known by locals as the PCH (Pacific Coast Highway).Even though the PCH runs from Big Sur in Northern California all the way down to San Diego area, our favorite part is from just north of Malibu to Santa Monica and Venice Beach. On this stretch of the highway, you can see breath-taking views of bright blue skies and crashing waves directly on the side of the highway. On our next free day, we are definitely taking advantage of this gorgeous (free) summer activity!
What are you guys dreaming of doing this summer? Let us know!
