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! :)

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! 

Sincerely,

Getting Back on Track

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

The weather has been a bit out of whack on the east coast lately; it seems like it wants to be Spring but the Winter just won't let it happen, and with good reason since its only February! As much as we despise the cold weather, it would be kind of scary if the seasons changed so abruptly. 
Wearing pops of color, especially on an all time gloomy day raises my spirits and my mood, especially loud colors like red. Let's face it, with the cold weather upon us its hard to strut our fashions anywhere that isn't inside a building with a coat check, that's why I make sure my coats are just as fabulous as the outfits that go inside them.  This Banana Republic coat is my favorite because it always helps me stand out in a crowd and hits my leg at just the right spot where its long enough to cover my thighs and short enough to still be flattering.
