fashions night out : georgetown style

last week was the one and the only fashions night out. this day (september 6th) was one of the biggest nights in fashion all over the united states! so my friends kelli, katherine and sam went out for a night out on the town, georgetown that is! between the metro, the missed bus and walking getting there was exhausting itself, but we managed to get there (late or rather fashionably late)! the show was amazing and the sales were even better! it was a night that we will never forget! xx 


 kelli:
kelli sported a fabulous coral sheer top with a nude tank underneath and some white jeans. she added on a stone gem necklace and a tory burch silver over the shoulder bag. so chic! xx 

 katherine:
katherine rocked a sheer white tank with black hearts all over. she matched it with some jeans and a super cute belt. she accessorized herself with a fabulous K bangle, some chic kate spade bow earrings,  a over the shoulder clutch bag with some blue ombre nails and stylish steve madden violet pumps.
sam:
sam was spotted wearing a plain yet cute black half arm length tee shirt and some camel high waisted shorts. she topped this off with some fabulous leopard print shoes and a autumn red and gold ball necklace. 
 we ventured to pink berry (it was the brunette's first time there!!) and to georgetown cupcakes that night for our free cupcakes! 
from left to right: the show and the celebrity watch, and further behind this is the tent for the vips (obvitotes me!) on the top is a dress in the window that was made out of fashion night out flyers. in the middle is samantha in a local boutique by the scarves and the headband section. one the bottom a window in american apparel, where there were some pretty awesome sales earlier in the night!

#trendsontherise : arm candy

some of the most trending has tags on instagram have to be #armcandy or #armparty . these photo's are amazing and very chic. we love that now girls don't have to just put on one nice dangly bracelet or cuff and call it a night. now they can... wait for it... stack them!! we love the idea of mixing colors, mixing widths and showing variations of bracelets ate once. but the thing that we love the most would have to be the core of the arm candy and that would be the watches. watches are a huge statement piece to anyone, today there are endless choices of what watch to select, and sometimes you can even custom make them. well below are some of our favorite arm candy pictures from instagram, enjoy!! xx

summer favorites: sheer oxford

this summer, my go-to top for hmm well basically anything has been the fabulous sheer oxford shirts. i have gotten a lot of these throughout the spring and summer in multiple colors and can not wait to trend them around my college campus! i think every girl, of all shapes and sizes must put this in their cart next time they shop in H&M, Forever21, Target or really anywhere! I like to pair this type of shirt with a bandu bra, some slick skinny jeans (either dark wash or acid wash), some compfy shoes and a fabulous bag, or trendy necklace! you can style this shirt many ways, preppy or formal, lazy or casual, slick or hipser. xx

college prepin: brunette's dorm

so for the brunette college is just about 17 days away. scary, right? well dorm shopping has been on the top of her list for the past week, and upcomming remaining three weeks! now normally i am a sea shore color sceme girl (my room is turquoise and my room has many sea paintings in it) but now in college im transitioning into the tropical pinks and oranges! most of my bedding is from pbteen and some of it is from good old target. i really loved shopping at pbteen, the options you have to create your own bed and style is amazing and is so very helpful! to the right is a picture of what my bed is going to look like, only an extra long twin, not a queen haha! my bedding is Portofino Duvet Cover & Pillowcases and was about $100 for the dovet cover and for the 2 pillow cases (not too bad...) my sheets PBteen Classic Organic Sheet Set are just your basic everyday white cotton sheets, this also comes with two pillow cases (yes i have four maybe six pillows...) haha. my decorative pillow Create Yourself Organic Pillow Cover is one of my favorite favorites ever! i also have one from target Room Essentials™ Cream Flokati Pillow - 18"x18" and i totes adore this one as well!!

weekend in california


while everyone was lighting sparklers and playing in the pool for the fourth of july, little miss brunette was carted off to JFK to fly to Los Angeles to spend the weekend with her cousins, and her mom and sister. during the trip we hung out at venice beach and had a super fun time.we also journeyed over to malibu to the getty gardens and to the malibu beach (and omg was it amazing there, it was like a scene from the little mermaid). there were surfers, and sea urchains, and pelicans, and oh lets not forget the huge starfish that were bombarding the beach. i hadso mcuh fun, and i can not wait to venture back!


even walking along the sidewalk at the venice beach was even an adventure! there were many street vendors, preformers, skateborders, and yes even celebrities! being in this different enviornment was a learning experiance, and it made me think about life on the other side of the turf turns out i love california so much that i might even move there when i am older, but perhaps to a different area! ss

lucy lovin

lucy hale has been on our watch list for a while. she has a style that is so unique and is so personalized. we see that she allows her outfits to describe herself or rather to describe the mood that she is in. her style can go from rock edgy, to posh glamorus! she also likes to change up her hair, whether it is in a messy up-do, some beachy waves, or even slicked back and to the side. and wheter she is walking the red carpet, the set of pretty little liars or is out with her boyfriend or friends, she knows how to put herself together! xx
