Le Love

2011-03-14T16:09:00.000-07:00

I recently stumbled upon an ad for Charles David shoes and handbags in a magazine the other day. Being as curious as I was and as addicted to the internet as I am, I decided to do a little exploring. After looking through the Charles David website (www.charlesdavid.com), I instantly fell in love with his clean lines and sultry designs. Next step, head to a boutique asap!

Here are some looks from the Spring/Summer 2011 collection

Mrs.Tomasi Hill

2011-03-10T13:34:00.000-08:00

With her striking red hair, her cat eye sunnies and her amazing sense of style, Taylor Tomasi hill has become on of the most influential individuals among street style blogs. She is currently Editor of Marie Claire US magazine and in previous years worked for Teen Vogue Magazine as accessories director. What I admire most about her style is that it is innovative and forever changing. She puts together memorable outfits that are playful yet sophisticated creating a classic air about her. She has become one of my favourites!

Trustworthiness

2011-02-28T22:54:00.000-08:00

I can hardly believe it's already March; I am absolutely ecstatic for the snow to melt and for spring to begin. February has been painfully busy, with dance seven days a week, a new semester and the search for the perfect grad dress, the stress really began to build. Hopefully March is a little less busy, but I highly doubt it will be. Anyways I thought I would share my beloved school bag and all that is in it. What sold me on this Calvin Klein back pack was the many little compartments, my favourite being the zipper flap at the top!

Field Trip

2011-02-23T18:04:00.000-08:00

Since starting a new semester, school and dance have just been go, go, go. Dancing seven days a week has been a challenge, but when getting ready for competition, it's necessary. We finally got a break this week, so with some of our free time we decided to finally take some pictures.
Lately, the weather has been really up and down. Just when we thought spring was around the corner, it snowed like 2 feet!! So, today (since it was still snowing) we went to one of the art galleries in town. We couldn't take pictures in the actually gallery, so we went into the greenhouse. With so many tropical plants, it felt like we were taking a mini vacation! Hope everyone is keeping warm, cheers ! :)

Jae's wearing H&M leggings, her brother's Lifetime top, Spring boots, vintage belt.

Lauren's wearing a H&M dress, Spring heels, Vintage LV purse.

Huge thanks to our photographer again, A.Webb.

Dressed to Impress

2011-02-20T15:40:00.000-08:00

As everyone probably knows, last week was the 53rd annual Grammy awards. Pretty much the biggest awards show in music, where celebs from all around, dress to impress. When I was watching from the comforts of my own home, I saw only one dress that I truly loved. The dress Paz Vega wore took my breath away. It was so simple and elegant. Although a bit short, I found the simplicity of it stunning. She may not have stood out like Katy Perry and her wings or Nicki Minaj and her leopard print, but she still rocked what she had. She also looked great at the Gucci and RocNation Pre-Grammy brunch!

Hope everyone is keeping warm out there!

Grammy's!

Pre-Grammy Brunch! Reppin' all Gucci!

Shout out to Selena Gomez who also looked stunning and so sophisticated in her J.Mendel dress!

V Day!

2011-02-14T20:51:00.000-08:00

I hope everyone has had a wonderful valentines day! Not to be a debbie-downer, but I have never really been a fan of Valentines Day. However today I found to really enjoy myself, maybe it was the large consumption of chocolate and cinnamon hearts? Or maybe it was the fact that I only ended up having two classes today due to a pep rally? Anyways we thought we would hare a few Valentines Day videos, enjoy!

P.S. I have been absolutely obsessed with Kate Spades ESSEX SCOUT bag!

Eva

2011-02-13T19:19:00.000-08:00

Beauty Director for Teen Vogue, Eva Chen has one of the most fun jobs in the world! She recently started a tumblr (http://evachen212.tumblr.com/) which I have recently been checking numerous times a day because of fashion week. Besides from knowing which products work best Eva also supplies her readers with beauty tips and tricks as well as practical advice to her readers! I definitely recommend checking out her tumblr!

Brainwashing

2011-02-05T23:43:00.000-08:00

The much anticipated second semester had begun! Jae and I both have greats schedules that allow us to hit the dance studio in the middle of the day. The two hours are enjoyable and really make the school day go by that much faster. We decided a celebratory lunch along with an outfit post was in need to commend the occasion. We are both extremely excited for what is to come in the future months. Soon approaching is our Advanced 2 ballet exam as well as competition season, graduation after that, and in July we are off to Chicago to attend a dance convention and competition!

Cabin Fever

2011-01-23T00:11:00.001-08:00

The combination of a weeks worth of studying, four-ish hour sleeps and litres of caffeine have begun to turn both Jae and I mad! Coffee, the drink that makes miracles happen is now my new bestie. During the time I was supposed to have been actually studying I have unsurprisingly have been doing a lot of online shopping or well research? I came across a ton of old Tom Binn's jewellery and fell in love once again. The pieces are unique, consisting of bright and neon hand painted swarovski crystal, pearls, limitless amounts of texture and form and clever designs. If you haven't already I suggest checking out his line for Disney's Alice in Wonderland, the pieces are each very different and have a corky sense about them.

One of my faves!

Little Monkeys

2011-01-16T00:29:00.000-08:00

These next few weeks are going to busier then ever, so we are going to apologize now for the lack of posts. The semester is almost done and I can hardly wait to begin the new one! However, with a new semester finals (killmenow) must be written; ours begin Wednesday. Everyone is high strung due to lack of sleep/stress; teachers are cracking the whip and assigning what feels like 18243534 assignments added to tour 5745334534545 hours of studying. I'm sure you get the point.

Anyways, we finally got around to doing an outfit post! This past weekend Jae and I ended up at our friends house party and by the end of the night it turned into a much needed dance party! The idea for the post was pretty sporadic and many of the pictures turned out un-focused, but we managed to save a few ha.

Skirt & leggings: H&M

Bento Boxing

2011-01-05T23:48:00.000-08:00

For a late christmas gift I received this adorable Harajuku Lovers bento box from my friend Bre! I'm a sucker for cute packaging and this was no exception. Aside from the clever design the actual cosmetics are quite pigmented; the lip liner was my favourite product mainly because of it's long staying power. Each fragrance is unique, some more floral, others more musky, but at the same time each has a sweetness about them.

Let it Snow!

2011-01-02T15:28:00.000-08:00

Winter has been having its ups and downs. I love getting bundled up and going tobogganing, but I hate having to get up early to make sure my car starts! Lately, I've been complaining about the cold and have been wishing spring would arrive asap. However, I dug deep in my drawers to find the answer to surviving the cold and I think I found it: tights! I have so many pairs that it's easy to keep warm when those -30 Celsius days roll around :)

Whoops

2011-01-02T02:10:00.000-08:00

Happy New Year everyone! We hope everyone had a wonderful New Years Eve! It's unbelievable how fast 2010 has gone by, but we are both excited for what is to come in 2011! Besides blogging I decided that my resolution would be to consume more water (8 ish glasses) and less You Tube. All the best for 2011!

To celebrate the New Year Jae and I went for sushi with two old friends and while we were waiting I made this little card. Sorry for the backwardness; I got a new computer and still have not gotten around to installing photo shop.

2010-12-27T16:56:00.000-08:00

We hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas! I'm still full from the many family dinners and Christmas treats. Just before the Christmas break began our school had our winter formal; everyone worn their best and look marvellous. The night couldn't have been more perfect, it began with photos and dinner, followed by a dance and then a huge after party. My only regret was not snapping photos of the shoes; there were so many adorable pairs!

We were fortunate enough to get my brother as a photographer, here is a link to his website: http://www.geoffwarrington.com/ and flickr: http://www.flickr.com/photos/geoffwarrington/

Jae wore a Runaway Pony dress and shoes from wally

I wore a Betsey Johnson dress and ring, spring shoes and feather

We both apologize for the lack of posting, school and dance is still taking over our lives. As a new years resolution we both promise to blog more often!

Pretty Lovely

2010-12-05T21:51:00.000-08:00

The early months of fall are my absolute favorite. The colours of the leaves mixed with the warm fall air and the excitement of a new school year somehow create an almost euphoric state. Even though fall is long gone I can't help but admire these perfect fall looks!

Young Forever

2010-11-24T14:43:00.000-08:00

Because Christmas is right around the corner, I have been doing a bit of browsing on the internet. Just recently, I came across this ping pong table that I thought was the coolest thing ever. I’ve never been good at table tennis, but I do enjoy playing with friends, which is why I just had to post about this special ping pong table. It was designed for Puma by aruliden. Based out of New York, they are a design team that helps brands bridge the gap between design and marketing. All handmade, the table’s top is a ceramic chalk surface so one can draw pictures and keep track of score right on the table top. With ash wood legs, the table adds a whole new spin to the game. I’ll be adding this to my Christmas wish list for sure!

So Backwards

2010-11-14T16:28:00.001-08:00

Between school and dance both of us have had no free time what so ever. We didn't anticipate for senior year to be this demanding; there have been many opportunities offered to us that are just to good to good to pass up, not to mention we have been studying up a storm. However during our long weekend we managed to snipe a photographer and finally do an outfit post! Even though the weather was freezing we were determined to get a few good shots.

Sophia

2010-11-07T16:12:00.000-08:00

Sophia Coppola the screenwriter, actress, producer, and director can add designer to her long list of accomplishments; she is a woman to be admired. She had great success with her first line of bags released for the luxury brand, Louis Vuitton in 2009. The 2010 line, released last month, is extremely versatile and perfect for everyday wear. The bags resemble Sophia's personal style which is polished, elegant and most of all classic. Sophia is not a new comer to the fashion industry, she interned at chanel when she was fifteen and created her own line of clothing called Milkfed sold in Japan in 1995. Her achievements are never ending with a degree from the art institute of California, her appearance in the God Father and her creation of fascinating works that have inspired people on an international level.

Mr. West

2010-10-25T09:56:00.001-07:00

"Runaway" is Kanye West's latest work featuring song from his upcoming album, "My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy". I find I get distracted quite easily, but my eyes were glued to the screen for the full 35 minutes; needless to say I was throughly entertained. The story revolves around a phoenix who has fallen from another world . . . the visuals were what sold me. Many of the images that were created were stunning with a beautiful use of colours. The use of the ballerinas was very effective, I felt the choreography was fitting but the dancers seemed a little reserved. Even if your not fan of Mr. West I highly suggest giving the film a chance, the visual mixed with his music was amazing.

Rhinestones and Spiders

2010-10-17T20:07:00.000-07:00

Our dear friend Nicole picked both Jae and I up a pack of these when she was in New York. We were both SO excited when we opened the hot pink bag to find a pack of 96 adorable tattoos! The quality is excellent with the tattoos lasting for about a week depending on where they are placed.

Porcelain Hearts

2010-10-11T23:27:00.001-07:00

These little porcelain hearts were made to treasure ones thoughts and emotions. The design and choice of material is so clever, porcelain = very breakable just like a heart is said to be hah. I have only once attempted the pottery wheel and am now left with a lopsided pot. I guess you could say ceramics are basically foreign to me especially porcelain. The look of porcelain is beautiful, but cold ; it reminds me of china dolls, expensive tea pot and anything else breakable. This is achieved via molds . . no wheels!

Nothing to Worry About

2010-10-09T16:50:00.000-07:00

I was so thrilled when I woke up this morning and the sun was shining! We have not had weather like this in a long time, so I deemed it necessary to wear a dress I recently purchased online. Taking pictures with friends in gorgeous weather was a great way to spend my Saturday afternoon!

Happy Thanksgiving all :)

Topshop dress, Topshop ring, cardigan from Joe, earrings from India.

There are no pictures of my shoes because I didn't feel like wearing any!

I Like It

2010-09-28T20:29:00.000-07:00

Ever since I was a kid, I’ve been in love with temporary tattoos. When Chanel came out with temporary tattoos, I was appalled. I never thought they would make a comeback! Now, more and more people are posing the idea. Beyonce is one of the newest to catch onto this new trend. Her tattoos are a bit more rugged including chains and spiders. Can’t wait to get my hands on some!

murakami versailles

2010-09-26T21:17:00.000-07:00

Japanses artist, Takashi Murakami is one of my favorites, I was so excited when I read that his next exhibit was to be at the Palace of Versailles. With a PhD in Nihonga painting from the Tokyo University of the Arts, Murakami creates unique, modern and colourful pieces which are extremely reminiscent of kawaii culture. Murakami's corky work and the ornate rooms of Versailles contrast each other in the best way possible. I'm so envious of those who get to visit this exhibit!

2010-09-19T21:20:00.000-07:00

Dr. Matens and Sanrio collaborated for Dr. Martens 50th anniversary and released a line of Hello kitty inspired boots and mary- janes! Ahh! I have been lusting over these for weeks debating wether or not to order a pair; preferably the multi. I have been a Hello Kitty fan since I can remember and yes, I still am.

The 64 Pack

2010-09-12T00:43:00.000-07:00

Colouring books played a large role in my childhood, I can recall spending hours on end colouring and making "crafts". So you could imagine how happy I was when I came across these two books!

My ma actually picked this one up for me!

I'm sure most have you have heard of this next one; it's huge with cute idea's and illustrations.

These can keep me occupied for ages!

Raisin Bag

2010-09-06T21:13:00.000-07:00

If I had to pick my number one bag here it is! I purchased this over a year ago and I am still in love with it; it has inter-changeable straps making it a shoulder back, a messenger bag or a backpack which is what I choose to generally use it for. This bag it made by Tommy hilfiger; he design is genius making this the most versatile/ practical bag I own. Not only do I love it for it's shape, I love it for all the memories it reminds me of (cheeeesy).

Of course Hannah made it in here! This was taken last spring thats why it looks nasty out.

This is the shoulder bag I bought thinking I needed change . . . Was I ever wrong. Don't get me wrong I love this bag, but for school I find it inconvenient; it's now my "weekend bag"! Made by BCBGenration. The leather is soft and the light pink colour works surprisingly well with my early fall wardrobe. The small details are what sold me on this bag, particularity the studs.

300 Days To Go

2010-09-01T23:33:00.001-07:00

School started this past Monday; this year was more exciting than most mainly because it's the last first day of high school for both Jae and myself! This year we are seniors meaning that we not only have to achieve the best grades possible (HA), but also fulfill the traditions of grade 12.

Through out high school I have always been a back pack kind of girl, but this year I decided I would use a messenger bag. Needless to say I miss my back pack and will most likely be switching back very soon! The part I missed the most (beside the comfort factor) was the feeling of security that a back pack provided much like a turtle and it's shell.
Here are some backpacks I found!

clockwise from top left:
LeSportSac Backpack
Henry Cuir Sherpa Backpack
Alexander Wang
Jas MB Canvas and Leather Rucksack
Marc by Marc Jacobs Army Handhack
Alexander Wang Sydney Backpack
1a Prima Classe - Two Pocket Backpack
BDG Nylon Backpack

I am in love with this back pack for multiple reasons; primarily for it's structure and design.

Childhood Dreams

2010-08-21T17:43:00.000-07:00

I have never been a die hard fans of the exibition; don't get me wrong I enjoy rides but something about ex rides being colapsable freaks me out. Once again this year I didn't go, but Nicole (our photographer) did. It sounds bizzare but she always wins the rolly ball game thing, and this year was no exception. She ended up bringing home a pikachu which she generously gave to me! I have been a Pokemon fan since age 5 as has jae. We were both pretty excited, so excited that we decided to feature the ridiculouly larger than life yellow stuffie on the blog!

Pikachu!

Jae is wearing an Urban Outfitter dress and shoes

I am wearing Amaerican Apparel shorts, MIA shoes, Fred David shirt

So this is Nicole, she was being a goof and wouldn't let me post a photo of her with her face looking at the camera. She is our photographer I guess you could say!

True Love

2010-08-18T23:59:00.000-07:00

This month we decided to take the next step in our relationship; friendship bracelets HA! After 14 years of knowing each other now was the time. These are temporary, we are still looking for our keepers but these will do in the mean time! These came in a three pack from Aldo ahaaa; like we said temporary.

Foldable Love

2010-08-10T15:03:00.000-07:00

I go through flats like no other and I am always in need of a new pair; they are my go to shoe. I recently picked up my latest pair at the Gap, they are my new favorites! I love the fact that they were made with double padding on the balls and heels makeing them one of the most comfortable flats I have ever purchased. The best part about these shoes is that they are foldable and can conviently be tucked away in a matching pouch and thrown into purse.

I decided on red but there is a huge variety of colours.

I know my feet are nasty, haha.

This is Charley, Nicoles pup.

Noodles

Summer has been way busier than expected making for a hold on our blogging, but now that most of the chaos has died down we have time for photo shoots and posts galore! We took these photos after a lunch at Norms consisting of our favorite noodle bowls and Vietnamese rolls. By the time our bowls arrived we were so hungry that we ate them with out snapping a photo; next time we swear.

San Fran Love: Part Two

2010-07-11T12:21:00.000-07:00

The Museum of Modern Art was amazing, my favorite exhibit was the Calder to Warhol exhibit; both world renowned artists. I had seen Warhol's work before at the National Gallery in Paris but the pieces here were different and Calder's pieces mixed in created a fun feel to such a serious/strictly run museum. Through school I had studied Calder and knew he was know for mobiles, however I never though much of him. Through out the hours that we were there I developed a great appreiciation for Calder and the art he has produced. The mobiles in the exhibit were smaller then expected but they moved with ease and simplicity. I found his sculptures to amuse me the most, they were corky and fun; reminiscent of Picasso.

The museum, taken from the Yerba Buena Gardens.

One of my favorite Calder's. I'm not exactly sure what attracted me to the piece, maybe it was the clean lines or the fact that I have always wanted a pet fish haha! Regardless it's a beaut.

Warhol

Warhol

Bruce Nauman; another exceptional artist. I highly suggest googling the name, his work with lights is impressive! I have always been drawn to lights, my parents think I'm wierd because I have six in my bedroom alone ha! Naturally I am a fan of Nauman.

Found in the Garden on the top floor

Circle of wooden chairs; various artists

San Francisco was such a unique city and I loved it!

San Fran Love: Part One

2010-07-10T15:52:00.000-07:00

Summer for myself has been almost as hectic as the school year, which in many ways is better then it sounds. I have started my job and I find my self accomplishing more in the day then I usually would during the summers because I have to actually get up at a decent time. Before I had begun work my family decided to take a short trip to San Francisco! Ahhhh, the city was amazing. Besides how much larger it is then where I live it also has way more hills. We did a lot of shopping and sight-seeing which is a must with my ma. We went around the fourth of July meaning the sales were ridiculous; like many of our trips we ended up buying another suit case because of our shopping addiction ha.

As for the sight-seeing we did a whole lot of it!

China town was very fun, and there were many shops and bakeries! The stores basically consisted of asian inspired trinkets and knock offs of LV and chanel.

We went to the Yerba Buena Gardens right across from the Museum of Modern Art. The gardens were beautiful, full of large trees and flowers. It also include a Martin Luther King Jr. memorial of falling water. There is an out door stage where many events are held during many festivals, unfortunately we didn't have a chance to see any. Here is My ma and myself!

We did take a bus tour or two haha, just to see the bridge!

The tour took us to Golden Gate Park where we went to the California Academy of Science! I wish we would have spent a day at the park; it was huge. Besides the Academy o Science there was the Japanese Tea Gardens and the De Young Museum.

Located in the basement was a huge aquarium!

I didn't quite know what to expect when going to Alcatraz. When I started walking around in the actual jail seeing the cells, it was an eerie feeling. The island itself was actually really beautiful, there was a ton of greenery and animals who have inhabited it.

2010-06-20T22:56:00.001-07:00

I really really should be studying for my physics final but I came across this picture of Anna Dello Russo and her lovely side kicks, Aurora Sansone and Viviana Volpicella. All wearing the Prada Chandelier heels; I had to do a post about them!

Anna Dello Russo in my eyes is one of the most influential women when it comes to fashion, her style is over the top, playful at times, but most of all glamourous. Whatever it is she decides to wear she pulls it off with a feeling of elegance. Many of her looks are straight off the runway . . . meaning her shoe collection is to die for!

As for her assistants, they each have a unique style to their own. Aurora has a style that incorporates many aspects of mens wear, with boyish trousers, neutral colours such as Khaki, as well as a love for the button up. Her style is clean cut in the least boring of ways! Viviana leans towards colour and bold prints making for outfits that are full of originality. She is always to be found with a smile pulling off the most simple pieces creating a complete and effortless style of her own.

These three from Vogue Nippon each make for exceptional style!

I also love the stumble and came across characterized bento boxes!

Sunny Sundays

2010-06-07T17:38:00.000-07:00

After a busy week and weekend we decided to relax by eating ice cream and going to the park! It is finally beginning to feel like summer here, especially since there is only a couple weeks of school left. The park that we found is, coincidentally, just outside of our dance studio. It's super tranquil and perfect for when you're looking for a place to unwind! Posting during the next few weeks is going to be cut down as we both have finals to study for...

Jae is wearing; AA shorts, a Zara shirt and an Urban outfitters hat.

Lauren is wearing AA shorts, a Joe Fresh shirt and Eden shoes.

And of course little Hannah came with us!

Giovanna

2010-06-06T18:16:00.000-07:00

Giovanna is a regular found on the Sartorialist with impeccable sense of style there is no way to resist. I find that she stands out because she is not afraid to change up her style and I admire this greatly! She is now the editor of L'Uomo Vogue, if that's not enough she was also a model, modeling for houses such as Dolce&Gabbana. Her style is classic with a touch of quirky; just enough to make a statement!

Romp what?

2010-06-03T16:50:00.001-07:00

Jae and I spent another day out under the sun; we still have not been having the best weather so we try to make the most of it! Here is what we decided to wear!

Yes, Rompers; they are perfect wear for the summers! They are super easy to wear, as well as one of the most comfortable pieces of clothing out there making them ideal for the summer months. Jae's is from H&M and Mine is from Zara.

This is my dog Hannah, she loves to play soccer!

And my grandma had come over with buns and dim sum for the two of us, it was delicious!

Two

2010-05-28T16:15:00.000-07:00

Both of us have been all over two finger rings; they have become part of our daily get up! When double finger rings were first hitting the scene they were script cut outs of names found on "thug-Esc" ladies, ha!. In the past couple years they have really began to develop in structure and the design.
These are all from forever 21!

Here are a few the we would love to own!

May Showers

2010-05-25T16:01:00.000-07:00

The last couple of days have been rain rain and rain. So yesterday when there was finally sun, we decided to take advantage of the semi-decent weather! We spent the afternoon lounging and in the sun, eating some Reeces Pieces and snapping some pics in the pre summer garden.

Eden

2010-05-22T18:33:00.001-07:00

Here is one of my favorite pairs of shoes made by Eden shoes; they were an instant love. I picked them up last summer in Paris at the galeries lafayette. When I first tried them on I noticed how comfortable they were, even though sneakers are supposed to be the "ultimate comfort shoe" these were something else. Besides the design of the shoe the soft, flexible leather definitely impressed me. They are perfect wear for the summer, I thank my ma dearly for them!

Choices

One word: Glasses. They are so much fun, whether you need them or not! I have three different pairs that I absolutely love because they can change up my look instantly. They can definitely complete a cute summer outfit that’s for sure. My favourite pair here is the clear frame pair of Super Brand :)

One of my favorites of Miroslava Duma.
It seemed most appropriate to post due to the much appreciated heat wave we have been experiencing!
I have always been a fan of Miroslava and I love love love these leather high waisted shorts.

The Chanel Resort 2011 was perfect, everything about it. The feel for the line is definitely 1970's Riviera. The models walked down a street turned runway in St. Torpez, some of which included Mick Jaggers daughter Georgia May, plus size model Crystal Renn, and one of my favs Abbey Lee Kershaw! The show featured many flowing tunics, short shorts and mini's as well as lace up gladiators. I really enjoyed the use of different textures through out the collection, everything from knit sweater and sheer tunics to formfitting sparkling dresses and bright coloured one pieces.

Happy Mothers Day

2010-05-09T13:24:00.000-07:00

I started my Sunday morning early at seven, which for me is extremely early as I don't even get up this early for school. I began cleaning the entire house, then moved on to making pancakes with strawberries for my ma. She was in utter shock when she came down the stair to find the table set and myself in the kitchen frying the pan cakes!

Bloch

2010-05-02T20:14:00.000-07:00

Bloch in the dance world is one of the most well known brands, creating shoes and clothing for all styles and forms of dance. Even my very first pair of ballet slippers were made by Bloch and for years I wore their point shoes. Not only do they make dance wear but over the past few years they have created a line of street shoes. Mainly flats to be more precise; they do retail for a bit steep but the comfort of these shoes makes up for it! The shoes themselves are extremely flexible with the majority of them being made of soft, smooth leather. When I stumbled across the shoes about a year or two ago I was really impressed with the design; they were not your average flat thats for sure! This past line has incorporated more styles, a few short wedges, sandals and what most excited me were their oxfords!

These were my favorites!

The little ballerina prints are from the girls line

Burberry Brit

Have you ever seen the bottle of perfume your best friend wears and instantly thought of her and how silly or how

serious she is? I once heard that your perfume is an extension of your personality and I totally agree. No matter what

scent you choose to wear it shows off your personality, whether your flirty and silly or serious and seductive. I don't know

about anyone else, but I am in love with perfume and wear it all the time. (Sometimes I put it on before I go to bed!) My

number one choice is With Love by Hilary Duff and Gwen Stepfani's L.A.M.B finishes in a close second. And being the

best friend I am, I know Lauren's fav scent is Burberry. Ha! Feel free to share about what your fav scent is !

Jae and I spent our Sunday making feather headbands to go along with a dance costume of ours! We sorta got volunteered to make them for us and eight others. . .
Our costumes are jet black with a few ruffles on the front, so we figure the Rhinestones would help add to the over all stage presence of the group.
It was fun (minus hot glue), super easy and didn't take long at all!

It got a little messy...

Final product!

Dance Love

2010-04-16T23:57:00.000-07:00

Yes, we are dancers!

We love love love love it, even all the frustrating moments.

Actually, without dance we would have never met at the ripe age of 3 at our Saturday morning ballet class! Over the last 13 years that we have been dancing, we have learned that dance is not only an activity, but it teaches you many life lessons. It lets us get away from reality. . . even if it is for only a few minutes!

Here are a few pictures from a solo practice a little while back. We both ended up doing really well in competition receiving golds as well as scholarships!

P.S.

This is not our studio, it's one we rented at the U of S and the lighting is pretty unfortunate.

Welcome to Little Giants!

We both have always had a strong sense of what we like and think when it comes to just about anything; whether it has to do with fashion, dance, design or whatever. So we thought a blog would be perfect for us! ha! Anyways we hope you enjoy and don't hesitate to give us feedback!

This is Jae.

And here's Lauren.
