"There's no place like home..."

J's Outfit: Top- Brandy Melville, Skirt/Boots- Forever 21, Sunglasses- RayBans

I feel like a modern day Dorothy from The Wizard of Oz in these red booties and of course I would be tapping them and saying "There's no place like home...". Other than my red chucks these are the only other pair of red shoes I have and I love it, it's a great statement piece and the best part about them was the price. Forever 21 makes great booties that perfectly fit my small feet and it's the best bargain for me because I wear them so much- it gives me the most bang for my buck! 

I'm slowly reaching my 3 month mark here in Vietnam and I'm also starting to get really home sick. I've had a few "bad" days here in Vietnam too so If only life were like the movies, tapping my red shoes would bring me home. As much as I'm learning and enjoying my time here, going home for even an hour would be SO good right now. 

I hope everyone has a great weekend! Can you believe that April is ALMOST over? That's just crazy...

Love, J

Happy Valentine's Day! 

Our outfits were Vday inspired- pinks, reds, and of course hearts and cute little studs <3

Honestly, Celia and I both don't care too much for this holiday. Love should be celebrated all the time and it shouldn't be just a day for couples either that's why we've switched it up and geared it towards best friends ;) all LOVE items are specially discounted in our store right now, can you find them? We say spoil your bestie, this day is the perfect excuse to and it's what we love doing to each other.

We hope you all have a great Valentine's Day with whoever you choose to spend it with and have some extra fun with it by throwing on some Valentine's Day inspired outfits too!

Love, C & J

Happy Holidays!

Happy ALMOST Holidays! This past weekend C was my date to a Christmas event I had to attend to. Dressing for the Holidays can be festive and fun if you want it to be...it's the only time of year where wearing greenish and red tones together makes sense. This weekend was also our Christmas "gifts" to each other, we ate and drank wine Saturday and shopped the entire day Sunday..it's been a while since we spent the weekend together so it was really great catching up- we needed this ;)

We hope all of you are almost or DONE with Christmas shopping! Going to the mall this weekend was fun but also horrible at the same time...crowds of people and ridiculous parking. We were SOO happy when we finally found a parking spot after going through every single parking structure with no luck. I'm not even joking we were screaming and high-fiving and jumping up and down, we were THAT happy about finding...a parking spot. 

It was that bad but also felt that GOOD when we found one so good luck at the malls this weekend! You could also be smart and do all your gift shopping online- we have Free Shipping still going on in our store that ends tonight- take advantage of no crowds and if you order by today we will make sure it gets to you before Christmas (use code: OURXMAS).

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
