The Holiday Blues

J's Outfit: Pants/Jacket- Forever 21, Top- Brandy Melville, Boots- Steve Madden

C's Outfit: Leggings- Forever 21, Sweater- Cotton On, Coat- H &M

The Holidays are officially over but that means now we can enjoy our gifts! C and I went on a mini trip for our Christmas together during December and of course we did a bit of shopping for ourselves. Were both wearing items that we bought during that shopping trip, I finally found some floral pants and C got these super cute (& warm) leggings.

It does make me really sad that there are no more short vacation weeks to look forward to and the houses with Christmas lights are slowly disappearing but hopefully this year will be life changing for the both of us. Were planning out the year for Buylove and ourselves so stay tuned- it's 2013 and it's a whole new year to look forward to ;)

Love, C & J

Being creative and pushing myself to think outside of the box is one of the reasons why I absolutely LOVE Halloween!  Trust me, I was never this into Halloween before. C & I started the Halloween costume matching thing around 2008- not THAT long ago but I'm surprised that we've been keeping up with it since. It makes it that much more FUN and we know we can look forward to this holiday every year. I'm not going to lie, I love hearing the whispers around us when we walk by in our costumes every year...we "secretly" high five each other every time someone gives us a compliment. *high-five for pulling off another year of theee coolest costume*

C & J's Outfit: 

Tanks- Bought for $2.99 each at Charlotte Russe

Skirts- Bought sheets of fabric for $10 each from Jo-Ann Fabric then hand sewn

Stockings- Bought at an accessories store for $4.99 each

Belts- found in C & J's own closets

Boots- both from Urban Outfitters 

P.S. The other bf joined in on the fun this year too, as big bird (hat and boots also DIY!)

(Buy a bag of yellow feathers from any craft store and hot glue them onto any hat- hat also found at craft store. Cookie Monster cookies were cut out from felt, easiest cookies I ever made!)

 

We don't exactly have the coolest costumes because of WHAT we are it's the coolest because we spend less than $20 each every year- there's always a DIY involved with our costumes and although we do pass by people who are dressed as the same "character" we know...in our eyes, ours is better because ours was hand made, cheap-er, and fully thought out from head to toe ;)

It's funny because C & I aren't very "showy" in your face- attention loving people at ALL but when it comes to Halloween...we take pride in our costumes (maybe it's because were disguised as someone/thing else) and that's when our tiny alter ego comes out.

Once every year only in October!

Enjoy our quick steps to this years Cookie Monster & Elmo costumes- we had so much fun with these but I did feel my old self get a bit lazier this year. Usually we have two costumes but this year we were good with one haha

Until next year...HAPPY HALLOWEEEEN!

Love, C & J

We've got the Blues

C's Outfit: Entire outfit- Forever 21, Jewelry- H&M
J's Outfit: Jacket & Skirt- Urban Outfitters, Shoes- Steve Madden

We were feeling blue- maybe because it's already almost fall and the weather is not even close to being cold. Were over the skirts, shorts, and tanks! We want to wear our scarves and coats...we can't even wear long pants without overheating. It especially sucks that all the retail stores are already stocking up on fall items and I admit I have already bought a few new fall items too but it doesn't look like i'll be able to wear any of them soon. Cali, start cooling down or else you'll force me to move somewhere else that's cooler! ;)
