spring is in the air!

hello fellow fashion lovers! it has been ages since either allie and i last posted and i do apologize for that. balancing a social life and school life isn't easy ;) it seems that the snow is slowly melting and the weather is getting warmer. FINALLY!! stores have already been putting out their latest spring fashions and i can't wait to start buying. spring break is coming up, which means a new swim piece of course! (either a cute bikini or sexy one piece!)

in terms of my latest obsessions, i only have two to remark on. the first is my new pair of Bass loafers. i absolutely adore them! they go with anything, casual or formal, which is great! my second obsession is one my friend katie told me about. they are nail polish stickers you put on your nails. the patterns of the stickers include floral, lace, denim, hound's tooth, and other really cool patterns. they are called Sally Hansen Salon Effects. i have only tried the black and white floral but they looked and worked great! they also lasted the full ten days that they promised.

new york city.

Ok so this past weekend, Allie and I went to New York City where we shopped, shopped, shopped! We started downtown hitting up our two favorite stores, All Saint's (Allie) and Topshop (Catherine). Though we looked around and tried things on, nothing really caught our eyes. The stores where we bought things surprisingly were the cheap stores. This of course was good on our credit cards :)

We first went to Chill where Allie got this really cool sweater that she was dying to have. It's a sweater but it has a long piece of fabric hanging down that turns into a scarf! I got a really cute black and white houndstooth jacket that I loveeee.

The other cheap store we went to was Exstanza. Allie had been there before and had gotten some great things so we of course had to go. The store is nice because it has some really good looking outfits other than the cheap looking clothes. Shopping there was definitely a success. Allie got two adorable tops and I got a top and a little black dress.

Now when you go to New York, you of course have to go uptown to stores like Bendel's, which is just what we did next. Allie got her fix of Nars so that she can make an Old Hollywood look for homecoming. I got a creme blush from Per-fekt, which I love! I also stocked up on YSL.
Out to dinner with Allie

Have a great week!

New York Film Festival

so a few weekends ago i got to attend the world premiere of the film, The Social Network. It was a fantastic and glamorous night. When we got to the city, i went for a quick bite of sushi. Made a quick run to CVS for black nailpolish, and headed back to the apartment to get ready. I ended up wearing the new BCBG Runway Collection, Red chunky heels, and a matte embellished gray clutch. I went for an Old Hollywood look with my makeup, and a roll-out-of-bed hairstyle. 
The Social Network is probably the best movie i have ever seen. I HIGHLY recommend it. 

Homecoming. (Allie's P.O.V)

okay guys, heres the deal. To me, homecoming and most other dances are pretty darn gross. I go because it's an occasion to wear a fabulous fall outfit. Including Chunky earrings, Chunky cardigan, simple black dress, and phenomenal shoes and accessories.
I got my dress this year at an online store called Nasty Gal. My absolute favorite. I plan to wear it with my leopard topshop coat, red suede clunky heals, and vintage jewelry EVERYWHERE!

some advice from me to you...
avoid the shiny Jessica McClintock dresses that belong at 7th grade bar-mitzvahs with girls who don't know Vuitton from Versace. Go with something simple, timeless, and somewhat casual.

I have really gone head first into the vintage look this season and i think that it is so important for every girl to have at least 3 pieces of vintage clothing!
       PLEASE comment or email your homecoming outfits to me!!! i would LOVE to see them.
 i am also always around for style help and suggestions.

The Fabulous LADY GAGA

Sorry we haven't posted in a while!! As you all know, the school year is back in full swing, which of course means a mountain of homework building up. Two weeks ago Allie and I saw the AMAZING Lady Gaga in concert in Philly. She is absolutely wonderful and I suggest that everyone should see her!!

To show our support as devoted little monsters, we dressed up and did our makeup Gaga style (props go to Allie for her amazing makeup talent!!)



Allie's outfit- 
H&M corset top
Forever 21 tights
Bloomingdale's skirt
Vintage vest
Lucky boots

Catherine's outfit- 
H&M Lace top
Topshop skirt
Forever 21 nude tank top
Lindsay Phillips flats

Lady Gaga
Lady Gaga waves to us in her gorgeous white angel dress. I'm absolutely in love with her yellow wig :)


Lady Gaga's Bad Romance silver metal dress with amazing matching shoes!


Lady Gaga scats and plays the piano in leather lingerie and leather studded boots.

Throughout the night, Lady Gaga made many wardrobe changes and I unfortunately couldn't get good pictures of them all :( Before I wish you all a wonderful week, I would like to point out Lady Gaga's work as not only a performer but also as an advocate of Gay Rights. Last Tuesday the Senate voted on whether or not to repeal the Don't Ask Don't Tell Policy. Unfortunately, the repeal was denied. If you want to find out more or show your support to get it repealed please check out her video! Lady Gaga's Don't Ask Don't Tell Repeal Video

Have a wonderful week!

Skincare for less

Though I do love the Clarisonic, not everyone has the money or wants to spend that much on something that washes your face. Recently I heard that some people wash their face with electronic toothbrushes. Weird right? My friend, however, just started using one and she really likes it! What's great about using the electronic toothbrush is that you can get it at a drugstore really cheap and if you don't like it, you don't feel bad about spending the $5. I definitely am going to have to try it and see if it really works.

Another product I heard about is this Aveda shammy cloth. It's $9.50 and it washes your face gently without hurting or damaging it. When you get it wet, it turns into a regular washcloth but when it dries, it hardens pushing the bacteria out of it. I will get back to you on it if really works because I really want one!
