Hearing about a castle in New Jersey, at this day in age, I was so intrigued to visit and use the venue for a post to share with you! 

Pleated dresses and skirts have been making their way into my closet lately along with thick, 4-inch heels, and this classic denim jacket. I haven't worn a plain, white dress since my First Communion, but it was so refreshing and crisp- I loved it! I never believed in the whole "white after Memorial Day and before Labor Day" law that people seem to think exist. If it looks amazing and is weather appropriate, why wait? Fashion was never about abiding rules or laws anyway. 

Happy weekend, my lovely followers! :)

Pick-Me-Ups

Everyone needs a few pick-me-ups every so often to get them through rainy days or bad weeks at work or school. Here are just a few of my favorite things that always tickle my fancy when time seems like its slow and dreary in the middle of the month:

 

Nights out for dinner with the girls are a great way to catch up and get away from the stress from work, school, and life. {I look forward to these twice a month.}

 

 Family BBQ's usually result in family reunions where we act goofy and reminisce of years gone by. {Target straw fedora; Forever 21 top}

 I'm currently obsessed with Instagram; an app that lets you blog through photos. I try to post a photo everyday, whether it be an outfit of the day, food, or just random finds. {I love my followers and their photos. A lot of the users are very talented and see such magnificent things all over the world.} {American Eagle denim jacket, skinny jeans and bag; Forever 21 sweater and booties; Old Navy tank top; Macy's scarf; J. Crew IPhone case}

 Manicures- whether it be self or professional- always make me feel better on a gloomy day. {I love playing with trends and fun colors.} {VanD'Go and Carnival - Essie; Queen of Everything- Sephora by OPI}

I have this new obsession with pleats. They're just so feminine and flirty and contrast amazingly with my leather bomber! {Skirt and dress- Forever 21}

Boardwalk Watching

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! :)

P & D

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
