Mirror, Mirror: LC & Lo

Lauren Conrad has been our favorite since the Laguna Beach days for Celia and for me during her own show, The Hills. We've been keeping up/following her style for years now- she's our fashion icon! This week we have decided to Mirror LC and her best friend, Lo. Lo has been by Lauren's side throughout the years of drama and after all that has happened they've still remained BFF's (their friendship really reminds me of what I have with MY bff- C!).

We took our photos in LA, down the street from Sprinkles (our favorite cupcake spot!). We heard Sprinkles opened up an ice cream store next door so of course he HAD to go! It was well worth the trip- Red Velvet ice cream on a Red Velvet cone= HEAVEN!

1) LOVE how they incorporated the Sprinkles logo into the Sprinkles ice cream sign 2) I got jipped with my single scoop..look how much bigger Celia's is compared to mine!

DIY FRIDAY: Colored Hair Dye!

Today's DIY Friday is one of my personal favorites and with summer coming up, I really think it will be fun for you all to experiment with it at home too! For those of you who have been following us on instagram (@buylovegivelove) you know that Jamie dyed the tips of her pink for Coachella weekend. After a week though, the pink slowly faded- tip: color hair dye fades VERY VERY QUICKLY, the more you dye it though, the longer the color will stay. Since Jamie didn't want to spend more money at the salon coloring her tips pink again (esp since it's fades so quicky), after much going back and forth, we decided to try it on her hair ourselves and it turned out great!

Jamie purchased the pink hair dye herself at a local Sally's Beauty Supplies.

DIY INSTRUCTIONS:

1. you must use color on already blonde or pre-bleached hair

2. use a sandwich bag or plastic wrap to dip hand into the dye

3. put the color on the blonde or pre-bleached streaks you want colored

4. leave the color in for about 30 minutes

5. wash out the color with cold water

And the that's all! :)

It's always a little scary dealing with color on hair, but after trying it once, it definitely was a lot easier than we thought! The best thing about this is you can save so much money by doing this at home. You can always ask a friend to help you too so you can have an extra set of hands and make it a sleepover night! Hope this helps and good luck!

What We Wore: Matching Name Rings!

Being huge "The hills" fans back in college, Jamie & I always loved Lauren Conrad. We especially loved her name ring which became a signature item she wore in a lot of the episodes. I even read in a magazine that she thought of making the ring because at the time the name necklace was so popular and she wanted to do something a little different for all of her girl friends. Once we saw it, we were on the hunt to find out where to get the ring made and decided to get each other the rings as Christmas gifts back in '08. To this day, we both still wear our rings almost on a daily basis- i guess you can say we made it our friendship ring! :)
