At the beginning of every fall semester the greek organizations in NPHC (the african american greeks) put on a stroll fest so we decided to go out and support... despite the extreme heat and having to stand in the courtyard for two hours in heels : /. This year all the organizations did really well and we enjoyed the show, so it was worth it!

Night




top/skirt/earrings: Charlotte Russe, shoes: Rue21 bracelet: forever21



Dress forever21 and shoes Oshoes
 I wasnt really in the mood to go all out for this party, so i thought i throw on this dress simply because the pattern is so noticeable i wouldn't have to do much else. But the dress was perfect for the extreme heat.
-hope you guys had a nice weekend

Relaunch


We have sat down and talked, and listened, and shared, and reviewed our blog and after much deliberation... we've decided that we SUCK! Therefore we've decided we must do something about it, so we are relaunching our blog to start over fresh. 

Just to be clear we want to define what our relaunch means: it includes.. regular post and getting to know our individual styles and us personally.

So starting today we are promising (our pinky to yours) that we will make a significantly noticeable effort to be more committed to our blog!

We posted a couple of pictures below show our personal styles at the moment

   
Brooklynn's fit: shirt: charlotte russe, pants: forever21, purse: tjmaxx, shoes: tjmaxx

Currently my style is all over the place.. guess I'm a little indecisive and inconsistent about my choice in clothing, as I am in life lol.. my wardrobe is a true reflection of myself! However I do know that I am sooo effortlessly falling in love with feminine pieces, back exposure, and the shape of items. Neutral colors are my BEST FRIEND but I am attempting to branch out and befriend a little color. Dresses are a must (although I didn't photograph myself in one :/) and they consume most of the space in my closet. 

With that said I have an addiction to unique items that cannot be worn on a day-to-day basis; with my daily schedule mostly being class, work, library.. so casual pieces are currently working themselves in the mix. I love uniquely placing pieces together with my own creative touch and hopefully you enjoy my concoctions as well :)

p.s. i love a little masculinity as well... (told you i was a little all over the place ;)

danielle's fit: dress: forever 21, shoes: charlotte russe, purse: store in japan


Unlike brook i am a very particular person, i know what i want to wear and how i want it to look, this is great at times because i can visualize a look down to the accessories BUT this is a hindrances as well. I always create outfits in my mind with things i dont own or cant find in stores lol but on another note 

 At the moment i think my style is very girlie combined with street chic. I love anything feminine, mix matching patterns, bold colors, chunky heels and everything high waisted. With the fall coming up I'm starting to get really into all the 70s inspired pieces which kind of embodies everything i listed above.

I often go for one item bold pieces you can just throw on as a statement piece so you don't have to do much to make the rest of the outfit come together. That way it looks effortlessly simple But, with that being said it leaves me with very little simple casual pieces in my wardrobe which I'm working on 
but as i blog my daily inspirations and looks im sure you will see my style is ever changing due to me getting easily bored.
