happy birthday erika!

it was erika's birthday yesterday! and for the last two years she has worn her special birthday "tutu" as i like to call it. she chose to play down the femininity of her skirt by adding a black leather jacket as outerwear and a neon yellow bandeau under her sheer top. once the jacket comes off (seen below) her gold, sparkly ballet flats and chunky necklace accentuate this girlish look.

i chose to embrace the fall weather by wearing darker tones and my favorite cognac brown boots.

sarah came into class the other day with an

awesome short and boots combo.  this look 

isn't always easy to pull off but she kills it.

the scarf gives a great pre-fall feel and of 

course i love her leather backpack (not shown)

last week. 

...is it fall yet?

the temperature had dropped today so we

brought out the jeans. i debuted my new 'hipster' 

glasses and kate broke out the new combat

boots. what girl doesn't love a fresh pair of 

combat boots. they just make you want to 

kick down doors and shoot things like Lara Croft.

jenn rocking the houndstooth.

she pairs the loud pattern with

an equally loud blue sleeveless

blouse...and nude pumps.

rain, rain go away

on this rainy day and very humid day, erika and i displayed our different but equally functional styles. 

Erika chose neutrals with mint accents.
shorts & belt: american eagle
cardigan & tank: h&m

she loves the lining inside her rain boots
boots: aldo

i hate rain boots, so i threw on my brown combat boots instead.
boots: madden girl
shirt: forever 21
shorts: abercrombie & fitch

flow

a flowy dress, or in my case romper, embodies the 

essence of girly. why do we love dresses and skirts

that flow and swing when we walk?  maybe because

it mimics hair blowing in the wind, or because there

is something so freeing and non-restricting about it.  

so kate and i embraced that essence of girly for a day.

if only we had a ship to stand on the bow of or a 

hay field to run through barefoot...minus the tics, 

hay allergies and potential snakes.  i really hate snakes.

romper-H&M; shoes-Ann Taylor; bracelet-Juicy Couture; watch- DKNY

necklace-J.Crew gift from my lovely friend Annie

dress-5|48; sandals-Bamboo; belt-Via Spiga; necklace-private gallery

first day.

this post is long overdue.  

for our first day Erika and i wanted

to keep it simple with shorts and a T. 

we knew that a first day go-to for 

most girls is a dress...

but we're not most girls. 

Erika played her's up with a matching

scarf and belt... 

i played up my T with a statement necklace...

our friends also asked for our help...
