morning to sundown

Day
top/belt: forever21, shorts: pitaya, shoes: aldo
top: Japan (fringed it myself), shorts: cut off jeans, shoes: charlotte russe

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 ;)

          brooklynn's fit: shirt: mom's closet, skirt and shoes Charlotte Russe 


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.

Spicy SPIKE

Since I'm still up...I have to share!




I love l o v e L O V E these shoes and I think its only right I share this current obsession! I saw these on makemechic.com  for only $51.90 about a week ago and almost fell out of my chair ...literally! lol. It is such a great price for  the detailing. I'm in love and I have to have them! They are sooo gorgeous and such a statement piece, I need that in my life. I love shoes and lately clothes, mainly dresses, have become a main priority when I'm shopping. This is the perfect shoe to snap me back into "shoe-phase". Hopefully when I get paid on friday they'll still have my size.

IN or Out...?



(photos found on tumblr)


So...recently when I was browsing randomly through tumblr, I came across a picture of Kourtney Kardashian with an amazing short suit on and fell in L O V E! Since then I have been on the search for a perfect "look-alike"...or just one equally adorable that i can call my own at a reasonable price. Part time retail is not bringing in much money lol, so I'm hoping I can find pieces that will magically mesh cohesively! *crossed fingers* But after doing a little research I discovered they first appeared on the runway in 2008...some time ago, right? But I believe Kourtney wore her's this spring so I am still on the lookout. I just hope they are still IN rather than.....Out.

sunday brunch

dress: cha cha shoes: forever21


me and mi madre (we were caught off guard lol)
I took a trip to San Antonio without brook : ( for a little over a week to visit my family and see a few friends. Of course its crazy hot here every day, as soon as you step out soon the sun is beaming dry heat on your face. This is a pic of sunday after going to church and out to brunch. I loved this dress when i first saw it, it reminds me of a sailor dress because of the bib around the neck and the color.

Ill be reuniting back with brook after the weekend, hope you guys have a good one!

smooches

its a party

21!!! is a age that comes with a lot of meaning, once you turn 18 becoming 21 is the birthday you look forward to for the next three years. This is a big deal to pretty much everybody, you have a feeling of independence, being totally legal and just gives you a reason to wild out a little bit. So of course since brook was FINALLY turning 21 (on the 16th) after all of her friends we had to do it big and be crazy the whole weekend. So we captured it all for you guys and hope you enjoy the pics and our carefully picked out ensembles! and happy belated bday to all of you Gemini's!!!

buy of the week



I just got this bag a little over a week ago and thought i would share with you guys. We are going to start doing a post once a week about what we consider to be a incredible buy. Whether its due to its price, quality or something we just adore and think you should run out and get one for your self lol....

But anyways I bought this bag at TJ MAXX. Its perfect for students or a career women. It has many compartments and is pretty big and spacious....plus it comes with a makeup bag, wallet and a laptop case and ALL of this was ONLY 19.99!!!! i know crazy right but anyways it comes in the three other colors and seems pretty durable. I love it!
