nothing like keeping life & styling clean and simple. who doesn't love a good t-shirt & jeans look. plus we're squeezing every last drop out of last week's indian summer.. quite possible the last 80-90 degree weather we'll both be seeing for the next few months!!! 

happy thursday ya'll.

well guys, we all made it to monday!! both of us had to work this weekend & that's always a drag . . . however it makes the monday blues a little easier because it means you don't get them! speaking of blues- how amazing is this little light weight sweater number cake is wearing? isn't the tie-dye ombre effect fantastic!!! pair it with little pops of neon . . .  done & done! easy peasy :)

hope you're not all suffering the monday blues too bad today!

you know what's great about the perfect jean jacket? it can take an amazing summer dress and get it ready for fall!!! the mixture of the light summer fabric & the smart cut the jean jacket make for the perfect fall get-up. one minute a fall day can be warm in the sun and then cool in shade and with this look you're prepared for both! what more could a girl want :)

happy thursday aka almost the weekend!

today we're celebrating! and it actually has nothing to do with the our blog, it has to do with this! go mr. coffee!!! we'd like to take this minute to just say how proud we are of him; mr. coffee is not only successful in his career but he's also always been super supportive of our blog, our need to see/talk/text each other all the time {like most twins were pretty attached at the hip}, and he's the best dang thing since sliced bread!!! so today on the blog we're taking a minute to saying thank you & we couldn't be more proud of you. lots of love & we can't wait to cheer you on to the next big win!!!
go big green!
