Dana’s Boutique!

Hello & Happy Wednesday! I am very happy to announce that I am now working at an adorable little boutique in Alpine, CA. called Dana’s. Below are just a few examples of our stylish clothing, shoes & accessories.

Here we have some adorable tie dye beach boho pants with some lace detailing.

I am not too comfortable with wearing a two piece bikini so this fashionable one piece is right up my alley!

Lavender & lace are two of my favorite things.

A loose fitting knit with some beautiful side lace detailing is perfect for spring!

Revival of the Redhead!

Happy Hump Day to you! Today’s post is all about the “Revival of the Redhead”. My dad is a redhead & often tells me that he was occasionally made fun of because of it in high school. I have noticed that red is now a desirable color & I couldn’t be more excited. Below you will find some of my favorite reds!

What is your favorite red & your opinion on this comeback color?! Tell us in a comment below. XOXO.

Everybody’s got somebody, but me.

Today’s post is all about that infamous holiday of hearts; Valentine’s Day. Depending on your current relationship status you could be happy, sad or indifferent. For those of you who are unsure of your relationship because it may be new or maybe you just want to take it slow; my heart goes out to you. When we were little the whole class got valentines. . .nobody was in that nonsense alone. Now it seems that we glorify the appearance of what “looks like a good relationship” because someone got chocolate covered strawberries or a diamond necklace but let me let you in on a little secret, relationships on Instagram & Facebook are not always as they seem. This Saturday I challenge you to spend time with those who really mean something to you. Your best friend, your boyfriend or that person who makes you feel important (yes, this could even be your mom). Don’t let this holiday get you down, because your valentine doesn’t match societies idea of what a valentine should look like. Keep it casual & love on those who love on you!

 

Hoping you guys are encouraged by this post! We love you. Hope you had a happy Tuesday! Let us know who you intend on loving on this Valentine’s Day in a comment below! XOXO.

Groovy baby!

Hello & Happy Monday,

Today we are talking all about the seventies comeback that seems to be emerging more & more lately. As I’ve been pinning I’ve noticed tons of lace, flare pants & boho dresses. This trend is just in time for spring. As you know we live in CA so spring comes a tad sooner for us. Below are some images taken or inspired by the bitchin’ era!

Floral crowns & best friends.

“Blame it on my gypsy soul.”

“She danced around & ’round to a guitar melody from the fire her face was all aglow. How she enchanted me, oh how I’d love to hold her near & kiss & forever whisper in her ear.” – “Gypsy Woman”

“I get by with a little help from my friends.”

The beloved Bridget Bardot!

Bright lights, big city!

Happy Hump Day everyone! Hoping your week this far has been nothing but smiles & good news, but realistically it hasn’t! Don’t worry it’s almost Friday; hang in there. As you know my dear friend Mallory lives in LA & since we had a few hours to kill we decided to be tourists in Mallory’s own city. Here are pictures from our adventures at The Wax Museum, The Guinness Book of World Records & Ripley’s Believe it or Not!

Because who doesn’t love George Clooney? He’s a dreamboat!

Our modern day Marilyn. . . I mean Mallory!

“This is why I’m hot!”

Our most favorite mirror, just kidding totally not!

Walk of Fame!

Cameron Diaz totally kicks butt!

World’s tallest Man looks like a sky scrapper compared to our mini Mal!

The Nifty fifties!

Ready for flight! Mallory & Denzel!

Superbowl Sunday in SoCal!

Happy Tuesday! Hoping your weekend was full of chips, dip & a victory for your favorite Patriots! Mallory & I decided to take a break from our busy schedules & lounge by the pool. Pool day in February? I know what you’re thinking, but this is California after all. Here’s some pictures from our lazy day.

Who wouldn’t be happy when they’re in a setting, as beautiful as, this one.

As long as, this lady is by my side there is nothing I won’t be able to accomplish.

I missed out on the Super Bowl for this? Yeah, no regrets here.

Who doesn’t love a chilled beverage on a hot day, especially when that beverage is from Starbucks.

How did you guys spend your Super Bowl Sunday? Let us know by leaving a comment below! XOXO.

Summertime Sadness.

Happy Tuesday Ladies, today’s post is going to be all about my current Summertime Sadness. Being a California native I have to say I am not enjoying this weather lately. It rained yesterday & I practically have to wear a parka wherever I go. Don’t get me started on the chilly nights. Am I venting? Oh completely, but I’m sure that there are some of you out there who are also wishing for shorts & clear skies. I love winter for about a week and than I am more than ready to slip on that bikini & feel the warm sand between my toes. Let’s take a look at some of those sweet summertime styles.

I will take bathing suits & flower crowns over a sweater & boots any day.

Hats & lacey boho dresses. Where do I sign up?

Crop tops & pools.

Beach days & besties.

&& last but most certainly not least, that favorite bikini of yours.

Hoping I didn’t put a damper on your day. Comment below & tell me some of your favorite summertime styles! XOXO!

Weekends are for the Warriors.

Greetings & Happy Monday to all of our lovely bloggers out there. This past week has been. . .well, a nightmare if we are being completely honest. Thank goodness for a fresh week & new beginnings. Luckily our weekend was full of fun. We got to celebrate our amazing sister Paige, complete with a dinner at Ruth’s Chris Steak House & a one day getaway to Disneyland!

Here I am with the birthday girl herself. Happy 19TH Paige!

Here’s the whole group. I am so blessed to have been adopted into such an amazing second family.

Mallory & I have Disneyland passes so we frequent the park often. It’s basically like our second home.

“Sometimes I’ve believed as many as six impossible things before breakfast.” -Alice

If you haven’t explored Car’s Land yet I suggest you do so, as soon as, you can.

&& to top off our amazing weekend here is a picture of Mallory & I trying on Minnie ears & getting caught by the Disneyland store staff. “But first, let me take a selfie!”

Hoping your weekend was as enjoyable as ours! We’d love to hear about it if you are open to sharing leave us a comment below. XOXO!

TGIF!

A very Happy Friday to our fresh-faced gal pals! We made it! Mallory & I are about ready to do a victory dance. This week has been an especially difficult one for us. Fighting off sickness, unexpected family news & difficult decisions. We are so thankful for our friendship & for you our followers! Today we are opening up the topics to you. What is something you want to know about us? Comment below & let us know! Stay safe this weekend girlies!

Happy Hump Day!

Bonjour my dumplings! Today I’ve decided to talk about some things that are very dear to my heart, but honestly quite embarrassing. Yes, today we are talking guilty pleasures.

1. The infamous reality show Are You The One which airs on MTV! Is it completely ridiculous? Oh absolutely, but something about a houseful of guys & unlimited alcohol really tickles my fancy. The drama is endless just like the amount of tears.

2. The delicious, but not so nutritious Meat Lover’s Breakfast Burrito from Jack & The Box! Don’t judge me! This burrito is like a little bite of heaven.

3. Harry Potter! Fun fact when I was in the fourth grade I literally thought I was Hermione Granger. I still wish that Hogwarts was a real school & am a little bitter that my acceptance letter still hasn’t come in the mail.

4. We all do them, but man do I hate seeing “Car Selfies” on my Instagram feed. Hey, sometimes the lighting is just too damn good.

5. Would you like coffee with your creamer. Can I drink my coffee black? Yes. Do I? Not a chance. Coffee creamer is like a silky dream & why not enjoy the elixir of the gods with a hint of vanilla nut flavoring.

6. Overall I enjoy this photo as a whole. I’m so “punny”! Yes, you’ve guessed it N*Sync is one of my most favorite guilty pleasures. Who doesn’t enjoy the empowering music which comes from teenage boys with frosted tips.

7. McDonald’s Sweet Tea! I don’t claim to know what sweet tea from the south tastes like, but if it’s anything like this I may consider moving.

8. Little Debbie’s crack like Oatmeal Creme Pies. Whoever thought to put marshmallow like goo between two chewy oatmeal cookies deserves an award. Having a bad day? Little Debbie can fix that.

9. Karaoke. Something about performing a Britney Spears Chart Topper in front of a handful of drunk people I don’t know really gives me quite a rush.

10. Last, but most certainly not least; Hostess Mini Powdered Donettes. Why not enjoy a bag of tasty diabetes? These little delights could make any difficult situation a little bit better. Unless the difficult situation really is diabetes I do not suggest that you than eat a bag of mini donuts.

I hope you’ve enjoyed my guilty pleasures, as much as, I do! If you’d like to share some of your guilty pleasures please leave us a comment below. Happy Wednesday!
