Autumn Reds

December 2, 2012

On Crystal: Asos dress, Aldo heels
On Meena: H&M sweater, H&M skirt, Jessica Simpson boots, BaubleBar necklace



We love that red is in this fall, from bright red to oxblood red and all the reds in between. We couldn't have found a better spot for this photo shoot with the slowly changing leaves to match our outfits.

My oxblood cable knit sweater is the perfect sweater for the fall. Its very warm and comfy but I do find it itchy at times. Aside from that, the sweater brings out the purple-y reds in the flower printed skirt. I love these boots for the fall. Despite their massive heel, I have found them to be extremely comfortable and sexy at the same time. I love wearing simple delicate necklaces rather than statement piece jewelry and this heart necklace from BaubleBar was a gift for my birthday and it has been attached to me ever since.

Crystal and I love going on Asos.com to find our dresses now. There is such a wide selection of dresses in many styles and colors. Their free shipping and return policy is extremely convenient and easy but I have to admit I end up putting way too many dresses in my cart in the end hehe. Her dress is casual yet elegant with a flattering plunging neckline and  the sheer puffy sleeves are unique yet sophisticated. This is a very feminine dress and great for a party at night or a fun event in the day. The nude heels are a perfect compliment to the bright dress.

Sunday Morning Blues

October 21, 2012

On Meena: H&M shirt, H&M khakis, Target belt, Aldo bag, Paprika loafers, Casio watch
On Crystal: Gap sweater, miniskirt, knit scarf, Forever 21 heels, Tag Heuer watch

My boyfriend got me a nice camera for my birthday.. can you tell? :) Meena and I are having so much fun doing this blog together and we're really excited to be able to take blog-quality photos from now on. We chose this location because we liked the cool tunnel effect the blue bridge has on our pictures.

Meena is sporting a casual work outfit that you can wear to the office. It is simple, clean, and preppy. Her bag is simple and classic too and looks like the Longchamp bag, but she got it for only $10! She said it was the last one in stock so they gave her an additional discount. I personally love large bags because it allows you to bring a lot of things with you so you can be prepared for any situation.

I paired an oversized sweater and drapey scarf with a short skirt and tall heels to create a warm and comfortable look that is still cute, girly, and flirty. If I have on something revealing, I always balance it out with a more conservative piece.. gotta keep it classy. I got the floral skirt in Japan.. I love it because it always adds a feminine pop of color to my outfit.

Eyelet/ Carolina Blue

September 18, 2012

On Meena: Nordstrom top, Forever 21 skirt, Aldo heels, Michael Kors watch, Coach crossbody
On Crystal: American Apparel cardigan and high-waisted shorts, Brass Plum belt, sunglasses

I love this flowy sheer top with the eyelet detail around the neckline. It seems to make any outfit more feminine and dressy. I paired the looser top with a tighter bottom. I usually wear the skirt high waisted but I like this top to be flowy. The heels are brown so they almost work as nude heels for me and I’ve been obsessed with cutouts for a long time now so these have definitely been my go to heels for the summer. We had people watching us model our outfits this time in downtown mountain view. One guy even decided he would offer us posing tips, so we smiled and walked away.

We were racing the sun in this shoot haha. There wasn't that much light coming in so these photos are really blurry.. we're thinking about investing in a decent camera so please let us know if you have any recommendations!

On the Other Side/ Colorblock

September 7, 2012

On Meena: H&M blouse, American Apparel skirt, Target belt, Aldo heels, Casio watch
On Crystal: Francesca's Collection dress, Nordstrom scarf, Macy's sandals

Hi everyone! We're so excited for our first blog post and we found this awesome spot right by where we live. Meena's outfit is very soft and flowy in earthy colors. We had perfect timing with the sunset and a lot of beginners luck. I decided to go with a colorful look for the summertime, and I always like to pair my outfits with a bold and eclectic purse, scarf, or hairpiece.
