I'm on track

April 7, 2013



Nordstrom Chloe K studded tank, Cotton On cardigan, Cotton On jeans, H&M flats

I like how the train tracks merge behind me. It was fun balancing on the tracks to take pictures. This is a casual outfit for a day walking around downtown Davis. I only keep adding to my collection of colored jeans and these darker green ones are a fun color for spring that I could maybe pair with a floral top. The tank top is a cream color with a sheer back that is longer than the front. The black cardigan is very sheer and light as well and a great cover up on the warmer days. The suede flats are my new favorite everyday shoe. The nude color goes well with a lot of different outfits and almost feels like I am not wearing anything. Pictures courtesy of my boyfriend :)

Life is like a box of crayons

Gap cardigan, Unknown top, Express jeans, Nine West wedges, Philip Persio leather watch

This top defines me in color and shape.  It's vibrant, complimentary to my skin tone, feminine, flowing, and can be worn dressy or casual. If I have to choose one top that I have worn way more than it was even worth, it would be this one. I don't even know what store in the mall I found it at. It was probably some small boutique. This classic grey cardigan is so simple but a great piece to look more professional and put together. I think it goes well with this leather watch. I am seriously obsessed with leather watches (especially on men). This vintage one from American Apparel  has pretty much become one with me as I have not removed it since the day I bought it. The jeans from Express have been a part of my wardrobe for a long time. they are a great casual jean and are a little on the longer side and so they work best with heels. Considering most of my heels are from Aldo, it is surprising that my most worn and comfortable pair are these wedges from Nine West. I have actually been wearing these wedges to work almost everyday of the week. Maybe it is time to invest in another pair of wedges?

Teal Swallows/ Incognito

November 24, 2012

On Meena: Frenchi sweater, H&M pants, headband gift from Taiwan, Paprika loafers
On Crystal: Banana Republic cardigan, BR jeans, Brass Plum u-neck tank, Bakers booties





We are back! After a busy birthday and holiday season we are now going to be posting much more.

My outfit seems very reminiscent of a preppy school girl with the headband, pearls and crew neck sweater. It's not a slouchy big sweater that we see everywhere now. It's small and fitted and the swallows on the sweater make it girly and sweet. I feel like I am more studious and belong in the library. I love wearing these pants because they fit well and are a less casual option than jeans.

Crystal describes her outfit:
"This is my go-to look when I want to be inconspicuous, run to the market, or do some people watching. With my hair pulled up, big shades, and shapeless cardigan I feel incognito but still stylish. My new lace-up booties from Bakers have become my favorite everyday shoe. They are so comfortable, match with everything I own, and still add a good couple of inches to my height :) "

Into the Woods

September 26, 2012

On Meena: H&M dress, Gap cardigan, Bakers heels, Target belt, Express bracelet, FE earrings
On Crystal:  Metro Park halter dress, Forever 21 platform sandals, Chloe sunglasses

It's definitely starting to feel more like fall, especially in this setting. The leaves are starting to change colors and there's a chill in the air. We decided to post together this week since our outfits were similar for once and we seem to coincidently have a theme of braids. 

I like to put my hair in a braid when I'm having a bad hair day, and what better way to show off your earrings. I keep reaching for this chunky cardigan now that it's cooling down. Its so warm and comfy and I make sure to roll up the sleeves to look casual and effortless. I often times like to take something dressy like a lace dress and dress it down with a casual sweater or shoes. I used to strongly dislike gold and brown accessories but since they are really in style this year, I'm now obsessed with brown leather and gold jewelry. They seem to go well together too. 

Crystal's neutral dress is very sparkly and has a slight metallic feel to it. I see a lot more dresses with interesting backs now and it's a great way to show some skin but not too much. The braided straps make this dress unique as well. Platform heels are an awesome way to add  funkiness to your outfit yet stay feminine. Not to mention adding a good 6 inches to your height!

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!
