Feeling A Little Vampy

You know what? Sometimes you just want to dress like the total badass you are - without sacrificing flowy femininity or cozy comfort. That's exactly what this outfit is all about. Skyla is looking like the witch next door with a classically structured black midi and her new vintage Ferragamo bag (isn't it perfect?!) She keeps it easy and summery with a casual cropped tee and her go-to gladiator sandals for the perfect end-of-summer "Don't Mess With This" look.

Bonus points if you noticed the new hair color! I loved her sunset-red ombre, but she was eager to welcome her favorite season with something new and bold. Isn't is the most gorgeous red?

Classic Camping Outfit & A Confession

What is it about camping that brings out the flannel in a girl? This outfit was easy and effortless, and so quintessentially "camping" that I felt right at home collecting kindling for the fire while Skyla snapped photos. A bit obvious? Sure, but it's a rare opportunity to wear buffalo checks and army green in the summer, and this was it. Sorry/Not sorry about my sandals, guys. They've been in almost every OOTD I've done because they're perfect. I literally wear them everyday. To do anything else for the photos would just be dishonest!

Speaking of dishonest, I have a little blogger confession for you - and I'd love to hear some input from our fellow fashion blogger friends. No, I haven't been lying to you, but there is something I think you should know...

Photos from Our Trip: Assateague Island

Hey guys! We've finally settled back in at home enough to share a few pictures from our trip to Assateague Island. We were so excited to get away for a quick weekend and introduce the dogs to the ocean! So we all packed into the car for a few hours and set up camp nearby. As it turns out, the dogs thought the ocean was terrifying. But we still had a blast! Check it out!

Camping Recipe: Strawberry Smores Forever

Today we're going to share one of those ridiculously simple why-didn't-I-think-of-that kind of recipes that will blow your socks off. And once you try it, you'll be coming up with different delicious variations for weeks. This changes the s'mores game, guys. No longer will you be limited by layers of graham crackers and chocolate, but our hope is that your horizons will expand to fruits and pretzels and cheeses. But don't worry, the classics will always have a place at our campfire.

This is a two ingredient recipe. Naturally you can add and subtract as your little heart desires, but we demand that you come back here and let us know what your favorites are!

Glamping in Style

Hey guys! We can't wait to share pictures and stories from our little weekend camping adventure to Assateague Island, but today we're going to start it off with an OOTD. Because Skyla doesn't camp. She glamps.

ALS Challenge & What It's All About

Hey guys! I hope you enjoyed the Small Screen Style series this week. We had so much fun working with those amazing bloggers, and we can't wait do it again. Remember, the $600 Jewelry Giveaway is open all weekend, so don't forget to get your entires in!

In the meantime though, we wanted to share something a little fun, and very important. Yes, we did the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge. Yes, I know that your feeds have been full of these videos! I also know that pouring water over your head doesn't solve anything. But here's something you may not know:

Small Screen Style & Giveaway: Carrie Bradshaw

Maddy || Stephanie || Rebecca || Rachel 

It's the last day of our Small Screen Style Collaboration with a few of our favorite bloggers and brands, and we couldn't be more excited to share this one! Carrie Bradshaw is arguably the ultimate female TV style icon. And the most interesting thing about her style is that everyone interprets it completely differently. We'll share a little more on our inspiration and interpretation below, but first:

We want to thank the lovely ladies above for helping to make this collaboration possible, as well as our fabulous sponsors Boy Meets Girl and Roman & Luxe! The winner of the $600 jewelry giveaway will be drawn on Monday, so stop by all weekend and get your entries in!

Small Screen Style & Giveaway: Olivia Pope

 Rebecca || Stephanie || Rachel || Maddy

So in case you haven't been following along this week, we're teaming up with a few of our favorite bloggers and brands to recreate the style of some of TV's most iconic fashionistas (and don't forget to enter the amazing $600 jewelry Giveaway with Boy Meets Girl and Roman & Luxe!) We started with Mindy Lahiri and Rachel Green, and today we're bringing it back to the lady whose style inspired the whole collaboration: Olivia Pope.

Olivia owns Washington, and her wardrobe reflects it. She keeps it classy with a very neutral palette, and reminds everyone who's in charge with clean lined jackets and feminine details. We're in awe of her perfect winter coats and ladylike gloves, but alas, this is August. So we kept it lighter with a textured jacket and long, draped pearls.

Small Screen Style & Giveaway: Rachel Green

Maddy || Rachel || Rebecca || Stephanie

Hey guys! Today we're excited to share the second part in our week-long Small Screen Style series! After a long chat about a few of our favorite on-screen style mavens, we decided to team up with these amazing girls to recreate some of TV's most iconic looks, and offer an amazing $600 jewelry Giveaway with Boy Meets Girl and Roman & Luxe. Next character on the chopping block: Rachel Green from Friends.

Small Screen Style & Giveaway: Mindy Lahiri

Maddy || Stephanie || Rebecca || Rachel

Sometimes Mondays are really great! If you follow us on Instagram you may have noticed that we enjoyed a very adventurous weekend roadtrip. And what better way to recuperate than with a super fun collaboration with a few of our favorite bloggers? 

We're so excited to team up with Rachel, Rebecca, Stephanie, and Maddy to recreate the style of a few iconic TV characters, past and present! Each day this week we'll all share our interpretations of a different character's style. And if that weren't exciting enough, we've also teamed up with Boy Meets Girl and Roman & Sunstone to give away over $600 in fabulous jewelry, including the pieces worn by our first style inspiration character, Mindy Lahiri from The Mindy Project!

The Things That Matter

This post is going to be a little different. Typically we like to reserve this blog as a space for positivity, creativity, and expression because those things are very important to us. We love pretty clothes and yummy food, and art and literature and entertainment. But today we feel inclined to talk about a few things that are more important. We hope that you'll read along, share in our reflection, and let us know your thoughts - because we're all still learning.

Date Night Romper

This week Skyla and Tony celebrated their 2 year anniversary! Wasn't her outfit for the big date night adorable? She picked up this cheerful Doe & Rae romper from TJMaxx for for only $16.99 and paired it with a playful leopard print clutch and strappy sandals for a fun, relaxing night with her boo (or, as they like to call it, her Googie. Yes, it rhymes with loogie, which is coincidentally how it makes me feel! JK... but really.)

What did they do for their night on the town? Simple and classic: dinner at their favorite restaurant, and Guardians of the Galaxy at our local vintage movie theater. Congrats, friends!

10 Best Thrifting Tips And Tricks

I have a confession: I'm a terrible thrifter. As much as I love the idea of picking up a few new favorites for next to nothing, it's never been my forte. I have a few excuses: a hard-to-fit body type and a huge sensitivity to my environment, but in the end it all boils down to this: I'm missing out.

Skyla, on the other hand, is a magical thrifting wizard. And she's sharing some of her best tips and tricks with us today! Let me tell you, she knows what she's doing. We went to a few thrift stores this weekend and she helped me find a few new favorites, including the perfect pleated midi and adorable clutch we shared in yesterday's outfit post.

So here you have it: your guide to thrifting your way to a new wardrobe!

Late Summer/Fall Style

This is always a sad time of the year. As much as I love the crisp fall breeze and colorful trees (not to mention the beautiful snow that's soon to follow!) I'm just never quite ready to let the summer go. I'm trying to shut out all the back-to-school nonsense and really make the most out of the remaining weeks of summer heat we have left. That means beach time, sandals, road trips, and sunshine! 

But who says we can't mix in a little fall fashion along the way? This skirt was a recent thrift find (more on that adventure to come!) and I originally planned on saving it for the cooler months. But Ben wanted to head to the Akron Hamburger festival (apparently they were invented here? I'm not buying it... but I'll definitely eat it!) and the skirt was just begging to blow around in the warm summer breeze! So I threw on this neat architectural halter and my everyday (literally) sandals to keep things cool, and off we went!

Celebrity Lookalikes

Happy Friday everyone! We have a few whirlwind weeks of camping and road trips coming up, so we're looking forward to spending this weekend curled up on the couch with Netflix. My queue is currently full of Carrey Mulligan flicks, and every time I see her face I think she's Skyla! Total celeb doppelganger! Skyla says that she's also heard that she could pass for Brie Laron and Olga Kurylenko. 

I've had friends and strangers tell me I look like Olivia Wilde and Audrey Hepburn ( I don't see it personally, but who am I to argue with all that cheekbone perfection?) 

What do you think? Do you have any celebrity lookalikes?

Panko-Crusted Goat Cheese Salad

OK, so we might have been a little misleading earlier this week when we tweeted that we'd figured out how to fry salad. Well, I'm sorry. You can't actually fry salad, guys. That would be crazy. But this is about as close as you can get. As you bite into it, the crispy panko-crusted cheese crumbles and gives each bite a lovely, creamy crunch. Pair with sweet pears and strawberries and it's totally still healthy, right? That's how it works... Right?

Another 1920s Speakeasy Dress

We went to a fabulous 1920s/speakeasy/Gatsby themed event this weekend, and our outfits were so fun we had to share them with you guys. Isn't this the most romantic dress you've ever seen? Layers of lace and crochet flow together in the sunlight and make me long for yesteryear... or at least the return of Downton Abbey. We had such a fun time playing dress up, and we can't wait do it again. What theme are you dying to dress for?

Meet the Boyfriends: Tony

Last week we introduced you to Lindsay's boyfriend, Ben, and now it's Skyla's turn! We're handing the blog over to her boyfriend, Tony, so he can tell you a little bit about how they met (warning: it's sickeningly sweet!) Enjoy!

Speakeasy Party Dress

Hope everyone had an amazing, summery weekend! We spent it visiting with friends and eating wonderful meals (if you're in Cleveland, go to Bar Cento!) A few friends also threw a big speakeasy party - and you know we can't turn down a good excuse to get all dolled up! We dusted off our flapper dresses and channelled our inner Gatsby's and Daisy's, and we'd love to share our getups with you guys!

Isn't this thrifted beaded number just perfect for sipping a gin rickey and running from "the fuzz?"

Our Favorite Travel Planning Tools

After a crazy week, we're excited to be planning few little getaways to make the most of summer before it slips away. Nothing fancy, we'll probably just throw the dogs in the car and go camping for a few long weekends, but I'm so excited to get away, see the ocean, and relax!

So today we thought we'd put together a little guide on our travel-planning process. We share a few of our favorite tools for finding the best places to go and things to do. Do you have any tips or favorite tools when you're planning a trip?
