I love to wear nothing more than a puffer vest on cold days! Since it was chilly  with a mix of snow and rainy I decided to go with this warm look. The LL Bean boots kept my feet warm while walking to class yet still look nice! I went with a classic flannel and puffer vest to help keep me warm yet looking put together. I also added a statement necklaces for a little pop to the look!

What We Wore Wednesday

In true sister form, we wore the same shirt today without realizing it until we were talking on the phone about our outfits!  In this week’s What We Wore Wednesday post, you’ll get to see two different ways for styling this shirt.  Enjoy!

It was finally a cooler day today! To celebrate I broke out one of my new J. Crew Factory button up tops that I have been waiting to wear. Since it was still a little warm I decided to pair it was cropped jeggings and Sperrys. To embrace the preppy look of this outfit I decided to wear one of my pear necklaces which I felt help complete the look. I can’t wait until it gets even cooler and I can start layering!

Today it finally felt like a true fall day here!  This September has been quite warm, so I’ve hardly been able to wear any fall clothes.  I took this opportunity to wear my new grey herringbone vest from J.Crew Factory that I’ve been wanting to wear!  I chose to style it with this pretty purple shirt, black jeggings, and riding boots.  I love how this look turned out and can’t wait to style this vest with different outfits more in the coming months!

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.

Have you done any traveling this summer or have any summer travel plans?  We would love to know where you’ve gone to or where you’ll be going to.  Let us know in the comments below.

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!

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!

The Kentucky Derby

With yesterday being the Kentucky Derby, I of course had to celebrate.  I was invited by one of my guy friends to a Derby party at his house. I decided to go with a Lilly Pulitzer dress since it seemed most fitting for the occasion and I paired it with a big hat.

The weather was lovely and perfect for an outdoor party! We started our festivities relatively early to have plenty of time to catch up and play some lawn games before the race. We all had a great time talking while drinking sangria and mint juleps. As the race got closer we all went inside to watch the race and some of the pre race action. My bet was on Carpe Diem and even though I didn’t pick the winning horse, it was still fun to watch. I hope within the next few years I am able to watch the Kentucky Derby in person!

Here is the recipe I used to make my sangria!

Sangria Recipe

Ingredients:

  • 2 bottles chilled dry red wine, like Rioja
  • 1 cup brandy
  • 1 cup orange juice
  • 1/4 cup superfine granulated sugar
  • 2 oranges, cut into thin rounds
  • 2 lemons, cut into thin rounds
  • 3 limes, cut into thin rounds
  • 2 apples, cored and cut into 1/2-inch chunks
  • 2 cups cold club soda

Directions:

In a large pot or bowl, combine the wine, brandy, orange juice, and sugar and stir until the sugar dissolves. Add the orange, lemon, and lime slices, the apples and refrigerate until well chilled, about 1 hour. Remove from the refrigerator and add the soda. Serve in glasses over ice.

I hope you all enjoyed the derby! Comment below and tell us what you did!

These are my top pins of the week because lately I have had an obsession with skirts! I love the length and the color of the first one, along with the pairing of it with a large statement necklace. The second two I picked because of the fun, preppy look they have!

1. I just REALLY want these Sperry’s!  2. I’m in love with scallops and I’m really loving stripes lately, so I really like this shirt/shorts combo.  3. You can never have too many cross body purses, right?! This Kate Spade one is perfect for spring and summer!

Girls Day at Four Daughters Vineyard & Winery

IMG_0258 (2)IMG_0257 (2)

With Michelle’s winter break wrapping up, we decided that we needed one last girls day.  We have been wanting to go to lunch and do a wine tasting at Four Daughters Vineyard & Winery since Rachel turned 21 in November.  This seemed like the perfect day to go there and do this!

When doing a wine tasting at Four Daughters, you have the option of red or white wine.  You then get five different wines to sample for $5, which is a great deal!  We went with the white wine because that’s what we both prefer.  We’re all for the sweeter wines and aren’t big fans of dry wine.  With this wine tasting, we had the opportunity to try a hard cider, three white wines, and a sweeter red wine.  We liked all of the ones we sampled, but are top two favorites were the Loon Juice (hard cider) and the moscato!

For lunch, Michelle ordered sloppy joe nachos and Rachel ordered the chicken pot pie.  The nice thing about the lunch menu here is that the choices are all quite unique.   As you can imagine from the pictures below, we were not disappointed with either choice!

Because we both love bread and figured it would go well with our wine, we also ordered a lovely bread plate to share.  This plate came with a variety of breads to try, as well as with olive oil and and a spinach spread.  All of the breads were amazing.  We may or may not have ate almost the whole plate!

Even though we really didn’t have room to spare and were pretty full the way it was, we just simply couldn’t resist ordering dessert because it looked too good not to try.  We ended up getting two desserts to share.  We went with the Chocolate Chip Cookie Sundae (white chocolate chip cookie, vanilla ice cream, chocolate sauce, whipped cream, and candy walnuts) and the S’more Pots de Creme (chocolate-hazelnut custard, sugared graham cracker, toasted marshmallow, and candied bacon).  Both desserts were delicious!  Unfortunately, we weren’t able to finish either of them since we were pretty full from our lunches.

Now it’s time to get into our outfits!  We decided to go the dressier route for this girls day to make it more fun.  Both of us went with skirts and channeled our inner Blair Waldorf.  Who doesn’t love Blair Waldorf’s style?!  Here’s what we wore:

Overall, we had a fabulous day at Four Daughters Vineyard & Winery.  It was a great experience that we enjoyed together.  The atmosphere was very laid back, which was great because it gave us plenty of time to enjoy our food/drinks and chit-chat!  We can’t wait to go back this summer so that we can sit outside to enjoy the views and also order some Sangria!
