spring in my step

So I don't know about you guys, but I've been kind of wishing for spring.  Big time.

Winter is getting so...two months ago.  hahaha :D  But seriously, this cold weather isn't any fun.  Not let's-build-a-snowman, go-sledding cold.  Just the-ground-is-frozen, where-are-the-flowers cold.

Ugh.  So I've been ready for summer for about a month now, but since that's not going to be here for quite a while, spring will have to do.  And spring fever is beginning to infect me.

These are some of my inspirations for spring!  Hopefully we'll get a warm day soon, where I can actually wear shorts or something.  I miss my shorts.  My white legs miss the sun! ;D

Anyways, enough of my talk.  What do you like about spring?  Hope it's a little warmer where you live than it is here haha!

Fall Fashion

Hey All, Jessi here!!  I think I did a similar post to this last year, about fall fashion.  Hey, that reminds me, Snoodles is almost a year old!!!  we're super excited :D  But anyway, back to the topic of this post . . . trends for fall time!!  woohoo!

FASHION

Black and Gold 

Stars love it: Jessica Alba, and Beyonce

How to wear: gold earrings are all you need to accessorize :)

my opinion: screams POSH!!

Leather A-line skirts

stars love it: Jamie chung, Emma Roberts

How to Wear: with layers, a blouse, or a nude blazer

my Opinion: cute, kinda equestrian feel, love with thick knit sweaters!!

Yup that's right!

Stars love it: Kim Kardashian, Cameron Diaz

How to wear: colorblock with a contrast top or go simple with a white shirt and minimal jewelry.  biggest fall colors are wine, dark green, mustard, etc.

My Opinion: love jeans, love color, so . . . basically perfect!

NAILS

berries, berries, yum yum yum . . . (I admit it, I'm weird) but yeah berry nail polish is huge!

Grays are super chic this fall--craving Essie Chinchilly!

Gold and Metallics are super, super 'in' this fall!  I think these are my favorite trend.  So gorgeous!  Probably would be over-the-top with the gold dress trend though, what do you think?

Do you want a hair/makeup fall post too?  This was getting a little long so I decided if you want more I'd just do part 2.  Love y'all!!

Let's Go to the Beach . . .

Let's go to the beach . . . let's go get away . . .

Hey guys!!!  Today's post is what I bring to the beach (where Emily and I are going very soon!!)  The pictures are not my own because I am too lazy to take the pictures and wait for them to upload . . . just sit down and blog, that's what I do!  XD

So, maybe Emily will do a post like this too but we have similar things in our bags so I really don't know.  She's not home right now so I can't ask her . . . she might though.

In Jessi's beach bag:

the bag has to have requirements, like the inside has to be fully lined and waterproof because what if my wet swimsuit bag leaks and water gets all inside?!  then you have a gross moldy bag :(  I would reccomend this to anyone who goes to the pool or beach a lot because it is good to have.

First obviously I have my swimsuit!!  I like swimsuits in fun colors, and patterns!

I also keep a towel in my bag.  this is random but does anyone match their towel to their swimsuit?  i dont but was wondering haha!

Next I keep sunglasses.  Ususally really big ones, because I want my eyes to be super protected!!!  I also like wayfarer style sunglasses.  I would never bring expensive sunglasses to the pool or beach because they could get lost or ruined easily.  just cheap target ones :)

Then I keep a brush, just a big paddle brush, because my hair always gets tangled at the beach!

Next my makeup/beauty stuff.  I always keep a little makeup bag filled with some touch-up stuff to use when I'm leaving, because sometimes we go to dinner or ice cream after and I want to look a little nicer.

Inside this little bag I will usually have moisturizer or tinted moisturizer, because my face gets totally dry.  Also some mascara, chap-stick, sunscreen!, and some hair elastics.

And last of course, a change of clothes!!  Normally this means shorts and a tee shirt, and a coverup to wear on the boardwalk.

So that is what I bring to the beach!  What do you bring in your beach bag?  Comment below :)

XO, Jessi

More Summer . . .

So hey!!  Our summer vacation starts a week!!  I'm sure everyone thinks that summer is the best time of year.  Emily and I usually head to the beach, the mall, the pool, and other places during the summer.  There are usually parties, there are always friends, and there is a lot of warm weather, getting wet, getting tan, and having fun.  What do you do in the summer??

Some of my favorite things to do in the summer (besides all of the above) is stay up late at sleepovers, watching movies, and reading in bed.  Playing with the dog, water balloons, sprinklers, and practicing failed cartwheels/handstands/etc that Emily is trying to teach me haha!!

And speaking of summer...why not some summer fashion?  we really like shorts (not so much skirts--idk why), crop tops, tank tops, and light t-shirts for summer.  And of course, we live, in our swimsuits!!

We hope everyone has an awesome summer!!  don't worry, though, we will be posting lots more over vacation because there will be more time :)  Love y'all!!

Spring Fashions!!

Hey!! it's Jessi :) 

walking by Forever21 recently, I noticed the amazing amount of color!  As soon as I got home i looked on Google images to see if this was actually something (because insane color was a big thing last spring too) and sure enough. . .

London Fashion Week

Rodarte Spring Collection

Diane von Furstenberg

Iconic Fashion & Girly Things

I've been thinking about fashion icons, stuff that we think about when we think of a certain time period: for instance, if you say something about France, I think croissants and marie antoinette and cafes.  So here are some pics that i found that are pretty iconic.

~Jessi

This is a vintage, original barbie :D

Marilyn monroe (i was thinking about her because of the movie that came out, My week with Marilyn)

Everyone, everyone knows Audrey Hepburn and her famous Breakfast at Tiffany's  (I actually saw part of that movie and it was kinda confusing!  O_o)

"let them eat cake" :)

The icon here is not christina aguilera--it's the amazing amount of shoes!!  (this is her shoe closet though)

last but not least, the color pink!  So many people think girls=pink!  

that's not true, of course, but it is in the case of me +Emily :D

Hope you enjoyed!

Thanks Sparkles!!
