What We Wore Wednesday

Michelle’s Look

With this mild fall weather, I haven’t been able to wear my puffer vests near as much as I would like!  Luckily today was a chillier day so I could finally wear one of my favorite puffer vests!  I love this classic herringbone vest because you can wear it with so many different looks.  Today I decided to wear it with a wine colored top and a black skirt.  I love how this look turned out and the color combination of it!  This is my first skirt from J.Crew Factory and I love how it fits.  I want to get this skirt in more colors because it fits so well and is very comfortable as well.

Rachel’s Look 

| Dry Goods Top | J. Crew Vest | American Eagle Jeggings | Hunter Rain boots not pictured |

Today was cold and raining so I wasn’t able to get a good picture of me in my outfit. I still wanted to share with you my outfit so I decided to take a picture of it laid out. Even though it wasn’t the best weather I still had meetings so I wanted to look nice and put together. I went with a J. Crew vest because they are great at keeping you warm but still look good. I also wore my black Hunter rain boots since I was walking around campus and I didn’t want my other shoes to get wet. I love my Hunter boots because I feel like they still look cute with most outfits!

Summer Nail Polish Favorites: Part 1

As you probably know, we both love nail polish!  Summer is one of our favorite times for nail polish because of all the bright, fun colors!  Since we have quite a few summer nail polish favorites, we decided to break this post into two or three parts.  Today’s favorites feature colors from the brand, China Glaze.  China Glaze is the perfect brand for summer nail polish colors because it has so many fun colors.

What We Wore Wednesday

Rachel’s Look

| Express Top | Red Dress Boutique Skirt | J. Crew Necklace | Target Booties |

I’m really excited about this week’s What We Wore Wednesday outfit.  I originally was going to wear this outfit while on vacation in St. Lucia, but of course I over packed and ended up not wearing it. Since I didn’t get a chance to wear this last week I thought it would be a great look for work!  I love this floral printed skirt. I just think it’s fun and I really like the length of it.  Also I just can’t get enough of these Target booties. They are SO comfy and cute!!

Michelle’s Look

 

| Lilly Pulitzer top | The Buckle shorts | Target Sandals | Tiffany & Co necklace |

Yesterday I didn’t do a whole lot. I just spent the day doing things around my house.  Because of this I just wanted to go with a casual outfit that was comfortable. I got this Lilly top this summer and it’s so soft and comfortable that I thought it would be perfect for a laid back day.  I like it even better on and now want it in more patterns!  I paired the Lilly top with some white denim shorts from The Buckle.  I’ve had these shorts for quite a few years, but they fit me really well and are comfortable.  It will come as no surprise that I finished off the look with my white sandals from Target.  They just got with so much!

We hope you’re enjoying your week!

St. Lucia Style

As some of you may already know, we were in St. Lucia last week for a sister vacation!  We went on vacation to celebrate Michelle’s 25th and golden birthday.  St. Lucia is located in the Eastern Caribbean region, relatively close to South America.  While on the island we stayed at the Coconut Bay Resort & Spa, which is located less than 5 minutes from the airport. We loved the beautiful ocean and warm weather!  Now here’s a look at the outfits we wore while we were in St. Lucia.

One of our favorite things that we did while on vacation was zip lining in the rain forest!  It was so much fun and such a great experience. You can watch a video of our zip lining adventure below.

PINspiration Friday

Rachel’s Picks

  

1) I pinned this because I already have a pair of Lilly Pulitzer sunglasses that I love and I’m debating about getting a second pair.  The pair I currently have is the one all the way in the back.  I’m not sure which pair I would get because I think they are all so cute!  2) I really like this outfit.  I think this would be cute to wear to class or while hanging out with friends.  Also the pearls are a nice touch.  3) I’ve been wanting a pair of Kendra Scott earrings for a while now.  I like these ones because they are simple and 9 times out of 10 when I’m wearing earring they are going to be studs. When I finally breakdown and buy a pair I think they might be these ones!

Michelle’s Picks

1) I’ve always dreamed of having a Chanel bag, and if  that dream every becomes a reality I would love to get this Chanel bag! 2) I love how classy and preppy this look is!  I love the cardigan paired with this button up top 3) I was just telling Rachel the other day how I want to get some brown riding boots this fall.  These boots would be perfect, but I’ll definitely end up getting some that are cheaper.  I do love the looks of these boots though!

We hope you enjoy your weekend! Comment below if you have a blog post you would like to see from us!

What We Wore Wednesday

Rachel’s Look

It’s a nice day today and since I have to work, I decided to wear one of my new skirts! I got this skirt on sale on Red Dress Boutique for only $15, such a steal! With this outfit being black and white, I went with a bright coral necklace to add a little pop of color to the look! I love this classy look for a day at work.

4th of July Look Book

With Fourth of July coming up this weekend, we decided to do a look book for the holiday instead of our usual ‘What We Wore Wednesday’ post.  We’ve put together multiple looks, using clothing from our everyday closets.  Since we used clothing from our closets and didn’t buy clothing that would only be good for the Fourth of July, these looks can be worn any other day as well.  If you haven’t figured out what you’re wearing yet for the Fourth of July, we hope these looks will give you some inspiration!

Happy National Wear Your Lilly Day!!!

Today is the first official day of summer aka National Wear Your Lilly Day for all you Lilly lovers out there!  Since we love Lilly Pulitzer and summer, we decided to do an impromptu photo shoot to show off what we’re wearing for this special day.  Now that we’re finally having some warm weather, we can’t wait to wear all of our favorite Lilly Pulitzer clothes all summer long!

Winter Fashion Staple: The Puffer Vest

One of our favorite winter go to’s is a puffer vest. A puffer vest is a great way to not only keep you warm on those cold winter days but also adds a nice little flare to your outfit! We have styled the puffer vest in 6 different ways to help give you inspiration to style yours.

Since the herringbone vest is so popular we decided to do two different looks with it.

Look #1 Michelle paired hers with a buffalo check shirt. This vest looks great with a lot of different patterns besides just buffalo check you can also pair it with polka a dots and stripes to name a few.

Look #2 Rachel dressed hers vest up with a coral J Crew button up and some pearls.

Look #3 With this vest being a very neutral color Michelle decided to add a fun lightweight sweat underneath.

Look #4 Rachel brightened up her navy vest with a fun colored check shirt. The best part about this vest is that it is 100% reversible. The other side is fun with a navy and white polk-a-dot pattern.
                                                                          

Banana Republic Vest | American Eagle Button Up | American Eagle Jegging

Look #5 First off we love that Lilly has puffer vest with a pop of their signature Lilly pattern on the inside. This vest looks great with paired with a bright colored shirt. We think it would also look good with a Lilly pattern shirt as well.

Look #6 With a louder pattern vest Rachel wanted to keep her shirt more simple with just a cream color. She also added her signature gold monogram which is always a nice touch with a vest.

As you can see from our 6 looks that we put together when we wear puffer vests we almost always wear statement necklaces, monograms, and or boots to complete our outfits. We can’t wait to show you how you can transition your puffer vest for the upcoming spring season! Be on the lookout for that blog post in about a month or so. In the mean time, leave us a comment below with your favorite way to style your puffer vest in the winter.

We hope you have a fabulous weekend,
