Boardwalk Watching

 Banana Republic chambray shirt; J. Crew tank top; Forever 21 skirt, ring, necklace, linked bracelets; Thrifted belt; Ann Taylor Loft double bracelet; Gifted beaded bracelet; American Eagle sunglasses; Mandee wedges; Marc by Marc Jacobs bag; OPI nail polish:

This is our last post from our Coney Island visit; you can't go to Coney Island without walking the boardwalk and people watching.  I love people watching. Whenever I would have lunch in the city during Spring and Summer between classes, I would sit in Bryant Park or anywhere where I could find a seat outside and just watch people race to where ever it was they were going {usually in NY no one walks anywhere, they're practically running}. I'd look at their outfits and come up with stories with my friends about who they were and what kind of jobs they could have. It's one of my favorite ways to get inspired for my own outfits and projects as well.  

Is there anything you'd like to see us feature in our upcoming posts? We're brainstorming a lot of new ideas!

Hope everyone is having a wonderful week! xoxo

Beach Bum

J. Crew cardigan, belt; Forever 21 headband, linked bracelets; American Eagle sunglasses, shorts; Express flip flops

Coney Island Take 2! We saw the beach and took advantage of the weather and jumped at the opportunity to take pictures. Don't get confused though, the ocean was numbingly freezing, my feet were not happy about that at all.  But the beach brought such a smile to our faces and reminded us that Summer is around the corner and our trip to California is less than 3 months away! More details coming soon!

Enjoy your weekend everyone! :)

Day of Amusement

 

Forever 21 cardigan, linked bracelets, necklace, ring; American Eagle sunglasses; Hanes t-shirt; H&M leggings; Mandee flats; Marc Jacobs bag; Pandora watch; Gifted beaded bracelet and purple stoned ring; OPI nail polish

Amusement parks were always one of my favorite places to go to as a kid. The rides, junk food, screams of excitement from roller coasters, and lines of impatient children waiting with their parents always set a fun environment. We went to Coney Island on this beautiful Spring day. It was a great road trip and resulted in amazing photo shoots!

Raspberry Gelato

 Target cardigan; American Eagle tube top, white distressed denim; Forever 21 necklace, rings, bracelets, belt, sunglasses; Mandee wedges; Essie nail polish: Shore to Please

Happy Weekend! Friday is finally upon us and I'm pretty sure everyone is extra excited because St. Patrick's Day is tomorrow. We hope everyone has a fabulous weekend full of fun and excitement!

This is our favorite segment of the three we took at Asbury Park because of the mixture of bright Spring colors, textures, and proportions. The raspberry colored, laced, cropped tube top, paired with a long, oatmeal colored cardigan, and distressed, white, skinny, denim are paired together in such a fun way especially with the added turquoise, chunky necklace to tie it all together. 

Now that Spring weather is finally coming our way, we can't wait to share all the new places and fun ideas we will be positing! See you Monday! :)

Blue by Default

Ann Taylor Loft tank top; Forever 21 blazer, skirt, sunglasses, necklace, ring, rope & linked bracelet; Hand carved, wooden, Plumeria bracelet; Target wedges; J. Crew belt; Essie nail polish: Shore to Please

Segment Two of our little road trip to Asbury Park resulted in this fun Spring outfit.  Again, I have a mixture of prints from the tie-dye tank to the floral, layered mini skirt; the blazer pulls it all together without looking too matchy.  

Wedges have become my go-to shoe in the Spring and Summer because they are so versatile and can be worn with a dress, distressed, over-sized denim, shorts, or your favorite pair of skinny jeans.  So look out for them in our future posts.

I hope everyone has had a wonderful week so far, and just think, two more days until Friday!

All Maxi'd Out

Forever 21 crochet top, maxi dress, rings, sunglasses; J. Crew necklace; Target wedges; Gifted blue, beaded bracelet; Essie nail polish:  Absolutely Shore

D'sirre and I were so excited the weather was getting warmer so we decided to take a little road trip down the shore. The next three posts were taken down there and as promised, full of bright colors and diverse outfit choices!

This particular outfit choice was an interesting one because I wanted to use the maxi dress as a skirt and pair it with the crochet top since it isn't quite Summer weather yet. The dress is in fact, strapless, and as you probably have noticed throughout the photos, it was quite breezy since we were so close to the ocean. 

(I kept it very light on the accessories since I mixed prints and the colors were so bright and vibrant.)

Color Me Happy :)

 

Forever 21 blouse, thank top, skirt, necklace, booties, vintage gold bracelets, ring, headband; Gifted beaded bracelet; Thrifted belt; Essie nail polish- Love Me Now, Love Me Not

I have the worst habit of wearing such dark and dreary colors in the Winter. (D'sirre tends to remind me of this little habit all the time.)  When I went down to South Jersey to visit my mom, she suggested we go shopping to add some color to my closet for brighter posts. This one outfit went through a few trial and errors but I have to say its my favorite outfit I have from my transition from Winter to Spring so far.  Recently, there has been a lot of mismatching of prints and colors in the fashion industry and I have to say, I love it! From my tie-dye blouse, and geometric printed headband, and bright colored pencil skirt, you probably wouldn't think these pieces would go together when you saw them on the hanger, but they compliment each other so well and the proportions of them hit the target.

Look out for brighter posts and sunnier days! 

Have a great weekend!

Composition Notebook

 

Forever 21 trench coat, dress, necklace, bracelets; J. Crew headband; Thrifted bag; Madewell riding boots; Gifted elephant ring; Pandora watch; Essie nail polish- Love Me Now, Love Me Not

When I was in grammar school, I remember always being asked to bring a composition notebook to class on my first day to write in as a journal.  When I saw this dress, it brought back memories of being a little girl and writing all my secrets and dreams for myself in those notebooks.  

This dress is so versatile, I dressed it down for this post with my riding boots and trench coat, but it can also be dressed up with a colorful pair of heels and blazer. 

Stay tuned for upcoming, exciting new posts! :)

Getting Back on Track

H&M hat; Forever 21 sweater, jeans, ring, bracelets; American Eagle fur vest; J.Crew bejeweled tank; Thrifted ballet flats and purse; Pandora watch; Gifted necklace; OPI nail polish- Love Me Now, Love Me Not

Hello everyone! We are sooo sorry we have been slacking on updates; its been a crazy past two weeks, but we're back and are so excited for the new posts!  To update you, we have decided to dedicate an entire week of posts to men's styling, so if any of you have anything you'd like us to touch base on for your boyfriends, husbands, friends, family, etc,  please please please comment below.  

Spring is around the corner and transitioning from cold to warm weather can be difficult at times, but it can be simple if you remember one word: Layering! In this outfit post, I have on three layers: from the bejeweled tank under the netted sweater topped off with the fur vest.  

Sincerely,

P & D
