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

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,

One Girl's Trash is Another Girl's Treasure

 

 Thrifted sequin blazer, bracelet, belt, Madewell leather leggings, Steve Madden pumps, Gifted elephant ring, Forever 21 necklace, H&M clutch, Essie nail polish: Chinchilly  

Thrifting has become somewhat of a guilty pleasure for me.  Paying practically nothing for a timeless piece is one of the best feelings in the world.  I have found so many little treasures at thrift shops form designer bags and clothing to brand new dresses that still have the tags on them. Sometimes I don't understand how people could give such things away.  This structured blazer reminded me of Michael Jackson and I knew they would go absolutely perfect with my leather leggings for an 80's feel.  If you have an eye for thrifting, you can find such amazing staple pieces.

It's all about the Hue

J. Crew dress, H&M tights, Forever 21 blazer, booties, necklace, bracelet, sunglasses, rings, Pandora watch, thrifted belt

Its been a lot warmer than usual for a north east winter, so we took advantage of the weather to take some photos outside without having to worry about the frigid cold. After having the best pizza known to anyone in the NJ area, Benny Tudinos in Hoboken, we found a cobblestone alleyway which was the perfect location to blend and contrast with the outfit I picked out.  Winter always seems to set me in a mood where all I want to wear is dark and gloomy colors, but this blazer and necklace definitely add something to the outfit that a black blazer just wouldn't do.  (I love layering a blazer on top of just about anything to add more sophistication and dress it up.)

Sincerely,
P & D
