ladies,</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
it is officially fall, no matter where you live. from Florida to California to Maine there's no denying fall has arrived & the amazing clothes you can finally pull out of your closet with out feeling any guilt; from boots to sweaters to scarves to hats. so today's post we're focusing on all the different types of winter hats we love. that's right pack away your straw hats, wide brim sun hats & all you panama fedora style hats! it's time to pull out you pompom wool beanies, slouchy statement hats, berets, and your wide brim felt/wool hats!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
we've tried to break down each style of hat into sections and our share some of our past #ootd. we're hoping this will give you a nudge in the right direction and let you forgo washing your hair this weekend and just put on that new hat and walk confidently out your front door to brunch, or to run errands, or to walk the dog!!!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
if you have to wash your hair that's fine too :) just remember no one looks "bad" in hats. maybe you just haven't found the right style! we're here for you! let us know if you need help, because clearly we love us some winter hats!</div>

from the feedback we got yesterday you all enjoyed cake's story! so today should be an even more enjoyable ride! unlike cake's "say yes to the dress"esque story valley's is a little bit more unique! </div>

<span style="color: black;">once valley was engaged she started poking around the internet just to get ideas. one of the first dresses she stumbled upon was this simple white milly dress on the neiman marcus website. it was elegant, timeless, simple, and could be styled anyway the wear wished. valley immediately sent the link to cake with the message something to the condensed effect of, "isn't this stunnnnnnning!!! would it work as a wedding dress? who orders a wedding dress off online? they have my size and it's only $500? this is exactly the type of dress i'd want to get married in! HELLLLP!!!!"</span></div>

here's a <a href="http://www.neimanmarcus.com/Milly-Strapless-Printed-Trapeze-Gown/prod186540079/p.prod" target="_blank">video</a> of the dress's movement; it's stunning in real life. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
(sorry you have to scroll down a little on the page and click the video.)</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
okay so this is the point in time where valley and her fiancé set a date and she gets down to business. she tries desperately to work out a weekend where all our sisters, mom, and valley's future MIL would be available. this is next to impossible given work schedules, babies, the wedding time line, distance . . . etc sooooooooooooooo once again valley circles back to this milly dress. she looks online and it's been MARKED DOWN!!! say what?!?!?! so valley calls cake in total excitement and they scour the neiman marcus website for their return policy and discuss the possibility of ordering this dress. . . .eeeek should valley pull the trigger?!?!? after so much debate and cake's urging of "what's the worst that can happen? you have to return it?!?!" valley orders the dress!!!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
it arrives on a weekend where all but cake are present at our parent's lake house; the family face time's cake in for the try on. as soon as valley walks into the room there's an audible gasp. it's perfect. it fits perfectly. it flows perfectly. it's soooooooo valley. it's the one. so low key that there's hardly a story, but that's why its soooooo valley. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
and just like cake's dress it's simple but never boring and can be personalized with amazing accessories. valley drew her veil inspiration from maria vontrapp in the sound of music. she found a beautiful veil on this <a href="https://dananionline.com/" target="_blank">danani handmade veils</a>, here's the<a href="https://dananionline.com/collections/veils-bridal-caps/products/sheer-juliet-veil-bridal-cap-style-302-4?variant=2672179713" target="_blank"> link</a> to the veil she ordered. it's also shown with a wreath which fit right in with her vision!</div>

<br />
today & tomorrow we'll be sharing our wedding dress shopping stories. like most newly engaged woman finding "the dress" was high on our priority list! both of us being into "fashion & style" we knew all of our family & friends would be highly anticipating seeing what we had chosen for the big day. however, from a young age our mother always stressed that the day we got married should be about the marriage and not the wedding. verrrrry sound advice, in fact some of the best advice we've ever been given. the other best advice we've heard about marriage is "happy wife, happy life!"<br />
<br />

<br />
so with out further adieu, her's cake's story while she hunted for "the dress" in the battlefields known, as wedding dress shopping!<br />
<br />
the first thing cake did as a newly engaged woman was buy all the bridal magazines and tear out all the dresses she could found and stuff them into clear plastic sheets and categorized them in a white binder. but the sad truth was there weren't that many she liked. she immediately knew she didn't want ruching, heavy beading, pick ups, white-white dress, heavy satin . . . . and the list went on and on and on; but on the other hand she didn't know what she wanted, was her vibe boho? vintage? classic? short? strapless? lace?<br />
<br />
sooooooo, she set a date that worked for her mom & valley and booked her first appointment at Priscilla of Boston, at their Chicago location. her consultant politely looked at all the pictures cake had provided and listened to the long list of things she didn't want. ha. once the consultant came back with dresses she asked cake, "okay, which one is your least favorite?" after some thought she pointed to a melissa sweet drapey, cowl-back dress.<br />

but you guys, once she had it on and walked out of that fitting room . . . . whoa. she looked tall, elegant, classic, red-carpet ready, statuesque . . . . any maybe a little Grecian too. which unfortunately a nearby costumer who was with another bride commented on as well, "you look so beautiful and like a Grecian goddess!" it was so sweet but unfortunately cake couldn't get the comment out of her head, she didn't want to look Grecian. ugh. the hunt continued.<br />
<br />
she made appointments are david's bridal, mary's chicago brial salon, another small bridal boutique in chicago . . . . but she couldn't get the first melissa sweet dress out of her head. so she gathered all three of her sisters, mom, and future mother in law and booked another appointment at Priscilla of Boston. Of course in the mean time she had done ooooodles of googling and had firmly decided she could make the dress more of a vintage 1930s and not Grecian, <i><u><b>if she added the right accessories</b></u></i>. so off cake & her entourage went to re-try on the first dress. face plant. in the end cake said "yes to the dress" and everyone reassured her that with the right styling the dress would "totally read as vintage NOT Grecian"<br />

one of the stylings cake found that convinced her she could make the dress her own.</div>
<br />
now is the time for cake to introduce you to <a href="https://www.veronicasheaffer.com/" target="_blank">Veronica Shaeffer</a>, aka the most amazing woman a bride could know. she creates custom bridal dresses & accessories while mixing vintage and classic vibes together. hello, she's perfect! she made a cap like head piece with a detachable cathedral length veil. it was beautiful and made all the difference. cake topped off the look with a faux bob hair style, red lips, a vintage Chanel bracelet, valley's signet pinky ring, and cake's signature black nail polish.<br />

the melissa sweet dress cake bought was just over $1500, for those of you who are wondering. no need to go crazy and spend thousands of dollars. not that there is anything wrong with that but for us it just seems silly. and in the end our mom's advice had sunk in. so while the whole process was fun and 100% worth it cake wanted to make sure the whole wedding day was about the marriage and not just a wedding.<br />

<br />
after like 30 seconds of internal debate and some quick texts to each other, cake took one for the team and ordered a pair to try out. we're both solid 28s in jeans which can translate to either a 4 or 6 depending on fit, rise, stretch . . . . etc; so she made the executive decision to order both sizes to do a little blog research. <br />

the fit felt almost the same in both sizes with the exception of the baggy-ness that can be seen in the knee area & crotch area. so she stuck with the size 4.<br />
<br />
a few more things to note are that the jeans are much more a legging. which to be honest has never been our thing, a jegging doesn't really speak to us. however, a few things we did love about these jeggings were the following:<br />
<br />
<ol>
<li>the material is unbelievably soft, like buttah.</li>
<li>the price is right. all of the styles are full price at under $40. PLUS the silver lining is that currently all of the rockstar 24/7 are marked down with an extra savings at check out! word.</li>
<li>since we've always been opposed to a jegging we didn't have a similar pair in our closet.</li>
<li>functioning zipper, button closer, and pockets.</li>
<li>they were a perfect alternative to an athletic legging for felling more pulled together without sacrificing any sort of comfort.</li>
</ol>
so in a nutshell these jeggings were just the right pair to keep around for running after kids, valley's weekend job at a wine tasting room where she stands all afternoon, attending any & all sporting events to cheer on cake's husband's team, errands, doctor visits . . . . .basically any weekend mom-ing dog walking play ground going road tripping pants.<br />
<br />
cake literally wore them to the last Dartmouth Men's soccer game where she surprised her husband with a post victory date night. these were the perfect pair of pants to cheer the team onto their win, change her uggs to heeled boots, head out on a date night, and then wake up the next morning and wear the jeans to run errands with her kids! just take a look :)<br />

<br />
after some slight nudging from cake, valley finally took the dive into the mules shoe pool. as soon as she came up for air she promptly proclaimed that, "mules are the fall transition shoe as flip-flops are the summer sandal!" AKA they are auh-mazing!!!<br />
<br />
we highly recommend you run out and buy yourself a pair today!!!! seriously. they are easily dressed up for an office setting by pairing them with skinny cut trousers, a statement blouse, and a fitted blazer. or perhaps pair your mules, maybe with a slight heel if you're feeling extra saucy, with a pencil skirt, button down, and cardigan. AND if you're a mom on the go these shoes are the perfect alternative to a running shoe. so skip over you athleisure wear and slip into some of those jeans you probably spent too much money on pair those with a comfy sweater, band t-shirt, or tunic top. now, rock those mules on play dates, walks to the park, running errands, soccer practice . . . . endless possibilities.<br />
<br />
below are a few styles we have in our closets, a few looks that we've worn in the past couple of weeks, and we're also sharing all the mules that we currently have in our "shopping baskets" hopefully we inspire you to slip into a pair ASAP and enjoy the perfect fall transition shoe.<br />
<br />
happy weekend-ing.<br />
<br />
x&o.<br />

ps. all pairs shown are $100 bones or less, with the exception of the red paisleys tassel pair.<br />

women are a fickle bunch, we always want what someone else has and if we have what we want we want it to look like we didn't try to hard. basically we're never happy. especially when it comes to our hair. if it's straight we want it curly if it's curly we want it straight. we always seem to cut our hair when long hair is the "in" style or we're growing it out while short hair is the desired look. we can never win.</div>

when styling our hair for the below photos we used the exact technique Laura Polko teaches us in her video, down to where to spray our dry shampoo and how to "poof" up, not out, our hair. the ONLY alteration we made was to run a flat iron through our post washed frizzy dried hair. we made sure to set the flat iron to the lowest setting so as to de-frizz the hair but not set the hair with heat, we wanted the curling iron to do that!</div>

so while we might live 900 miles apart and the photos we'll be sharing aren't quite up to our standards, errrrm iphone photos FTW, we now have a running list of ideas. see the list below for what we've come up with so far and get excited for the new content coming your way soon!</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<ul>
<li>a photo every hour for a whole day, we'll pick a day that works for both of us and simultaneously photography what we're doing for the entire day.</li>
<li>we'll both pick some investment pieces we own and work them into our everyday looks for an entire week to show how saving & planning for a few splurges really saves you in the long run</li>
<li>how to wear & style your scarves during the winter. aka scarf tutorials. </li>
<li>what's it like to be married to a coach</li>
<li>lessens leaned as a newlywed</li>
<li>best part about being twins</li>
<li>showcasing some of our original art work from undergrad</li>
<li>reviews of hangers, hair products, make-up, new recipes we've tried, home products . . . etc</li>
<li>sharing what we've recently bought</li>
<li>trends were digging right now (aka mules, kitten heels, cropped jeans, bodysuits . . . )</li>
<li>best places to find unique kids clothes</li>
<li>valley's wedding photos</li>
<li>closet purging</li>
</ul>
clearly we you guys have reenergized us! we couldn't be more excited to get back into the swing of blogging more regularly. of course we'll start to share more of what's going on in our lives, at least what we think is of any interest, we honestly both try to live boring lives! ha! </div>

plus, happy monday (if monday's are every happy?!?!? ha!)<br />
<br />
x&o.<br />
<br />
cake & valley.<br />
<br />
<ul>
<li><b>who</b>: that'd be us! a set of 30 something twins who started this ol' blog back in 2012!!! see first post <a href="http://cakeandvalley.blogspot.com/2012/02/02252012.html" target="_blank">here</a>.</li>
<li><b>what</b>: a blog, doi. but really the "what" for us was creativity. when we started this blog we we're six-ish years post college and both working 9-5 desk jobs. in college we had both studied art, specifically photography. we were missing our old life of taking photos, editing, and working together on projects. so we saw the blog as our "syllabus" for creating fresh work to share.</li>
<li><b>where</b>: so originally when we started this venture cake was living only 90 miles from valley. a very doable distance for a weekend trip, or even a day trip, to create content. we were literally seeing one another almost every five days, aka we didn't know how good we had it! then all of a sudden cake's husband was offered an amazing opportunity and she moved 900 miles away, making it next to impossible to create content on a weekly bases. luckily, we had some built up back log & lots of planned trips to see each other. we were able to keep the blog up and running with new content basically for the next two years. we then hit a new bump, literally, when cake had her first baby! this greatly diminished the availability to travel and document our time together. we slowly started to adjust and were able to post here and there. then along came bump #2 and life became even more crazy! all the while valley moved twice, started new jobs, & picked up a guy we refer to as her husband <3</li>
<li><b>when</b>: we guess, right now . . . . and all time between 02/25/2012 when we started this blog!</li>
<li><b>what next</b>: so now we're not sure how to proceed with the blog. since we started the blog as a collaboration and as a way to flex our photo skills it seems impossible to keep those goals in mind when living 900 miles apart. clearly the easiest solution is to take individual photos and post those, but doesn't that delete one of our original goals? working together, because duh we're BFFs since the womb! if we go that route we also loose the creative aspect of photographing each other because most of the photos we'd be sharing would be iPhone photos. so, again it wouldn't be fulfilling one of our original reasons for the blog. However we love looking back through the blog and having our life documented. it's pretty cool. we clearly have lost that in the last few years. we also love the people who regularly ask us about the blog or check in our posts! we realize we don't have a HUGE following by any means but that was never our goal. so do you guys want more outfit, iphone photo posts? do you want to see more our regular life? hear about what we're shopping for? reviews of what we've recently bought? HELP. this is new territory for us and we're not 100% sure of how to proceed. heck, we're not even 48% sure of how to proceed . . . . ha. share some feed back with us either down below in the comments or on our most recent instagram. let us know what you want to see, if anything? </li>
</ul>

here's an easy & cheap outfit to quickly pull together to run out the door to any type of event. classic white button down, jean shorts, and some funky/trendy accessories. you should already own about 90% of this look and if you don't cake's shirt & shorts are both from F21. she also opted for trendy studded gladiator sandals, a borrowed belt from her husband for a men's wore addition, a statement bag, and her go to aviator shades. what could possibly be easier?!?!?!</div>

yes we're fully aware we aren't ground breaking with our original title or our looks this week but we're keeping it real. nothing like prepping for the long weekend with a fresh mani & some quality twin sister time.<br />
<br />
in all honestly these looks were taken forever ago and now we're really wishing we were actually together and could recreate that time together! why oh why do we have live 900 miles apart. life isn't fair sometimes.<br />
<br />
the silver lining is we both have the sweetest husbands who deal with our crazy twin obsession and allow us to talk at all hours of the day, multiple times a day, and always <i>always</i> support our need to see one another. love you long time amazing husbands :)<br />
<br />
"see" you guys tomorrow with another "new" post.<br />

the first thing to know is, like an asshole that i was, my heart sank a little when it was confirmed that we were having a boy. i had had a gut feeling. it wasn't that i didn't love him, i had loved him before i we known it was a him, it was that i was scared. i had grown up with three sisters & had been a mom to a girl, so the idea of raising a little boy was terrifying to me. what if i couldn't be what he needed? what if i wasn't good at playing trucks, or building legos, and not to mention i'm terrible at like 75% of all sports . . . . turns out none of that matters. because being a mom to a little boy is such an honor. the way he loves me, the way he stalks me around the house, the way he needs me is in so many different ways then how georgina did. it's the most innocent and pure love and i can hardly stand it. boy oh boy do i love the way he loves me & i hope i can mirror my love for him so purely and innocently.<br />

he has this "secret" hiding spot that we recently discovered. wedged between our tv and a chair is a speaker and this little guy is always standing over there. recently i went over there and looked down and found a little pocket of space where he'd been taking over some toys & markers and dropping them into it. it's the sweetest thing to see him crawl over there with something and drop it into this spot because he has to stand on his little tippy toes to see down into the space to confirm his prize has landed safely in his hiding spot! heart melting.<br />

he loves to sit under the table and push out all the chairs. he will only eat pureed fruit still. he shovels mac n' cheese into his mouth like he hasn't eaten in days. he will crawl at lightning speed to any toy, drink, or book that his sister drops to the floor. he loves to play catch by himself, he'll throw a ball and chase it down, he'll do this over and over again, all over the house. he loves to "pet" snoopy and will point out any dog he sees any where. he talks & babble alllllll the time {just like his dad}, his first word was mama. he laughs out loud at his own jokes & when he does something he deems funny. when he gets in the zone he can play by himself for a good 30-45 minutes.<br />
<br />
he hates getting his diaper changed. he hates when we close the baby gates. he hates going down for a nap but almost always sleeps for 90 minutes or more. he hates that he can't run & play like his sister. he hates socks. he hates when i put him down form being held. he hates getting his nails trimmed. he hates/loves being tickled & he is sooooooooooooo ticklish {sorry scotti, thats from me!}<br />

having a second kid is very freeing. it lifts any regrets or short comings a parent can hold onto from their first baby. it showed me that babies come into the world as they are and as a parent we can teach them but we can't change them. mold them, yes; but we can't make a baby smarter, or sweeter, or more thoughtful, or more athletic, or more driven . . . we can help them develop into who they were born to be.<br />
<br />
oh how i love being a boy mom; especially to my little guy. and i love the challenge of finding the best & most cute little boy clothes . . . because, duh (and it's the only sport i'm decent at!!!! ha!)<br />

georgina lea was born on a tuesday morning & right from the start she knew who she wanted and who she liked. within minutes of meeting anyone new she made it clear if she liked you or not. she's 100% sure of her internal instincts and she's a tough cookie to sway. she's always preferred a female energy versus any male energy, which still holds true to this day. ironically she refused to go to her papa george when she was a newborn, who she is named after, and it has taken three long years for him to get in her good graces {most kids just adore him, he makes kids puzzles for a living!} good luck to her future boyfriends & ex-boyfriends.<br />

georgina is extremely routine oriented, as a baby she would get tired for a nap at exactly three hours of wake time, like to the minute of three hours. she would always sleep the same amount of time, 40 minutes. she kept this routine until she turned one and a half and went to a one nap routine. and even now at three years old she still requests an afternoon "quite time" at 1 pm. we've tried breaking up her routine but she thrives on it. i'm curious to see how strict she will be on herself when we give her more freedom to stray from her routine. but for the time being the routine works for us!<br />

because of her natural intuition & her love of a routine we're pretty sure she'll have one best friend for life. she'll find that one friend and stick to them like glue and hold them in a special place in her heart. i hope they're worthy of this type of loyalty. we've already seen a glimpse at the future and georgi's loyalty to her first daycare teacher, miss lily. five months ago she switched classrooms and to this day she still talks about how much she loves miss lily & that she was her best friend. georgi has even gone to the her old classroom and invited miss lily over to our house to eat fruit roll-ups and watch mickey mouse clubhouse.<br />

she loves beef jerky. she loves to wear a swimsuit in the bathtub. she could read & draw all day. she hates to disappoint you & when she does something she knows you like she'll ask, "does that make you happy mama?" she can be bribed into taking a picture with a piece of taffy. she loves elle king & any song she sings. she has so much confidence in herself & i hope she never loses it. she hates, like hates, to splash in the bath or get water on her face. she still asks to get "uppy." she loves the idea of treats & sweets but after a few bites she's over it & is happy to share. she sings in the car. she loves getting new books & clothes. she wants mary poppin's to be her nanny. she named her first baby doll Caramel. she's can not be talked into doing something new, she will do it on her own time & when she's ready. she is not competitive in the less, it doesn't motivate her.<br />

we're finally getting around to posting cake's uniform looks from a week and half ago :/ </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
the first thing that is a huge difference between cake & valley's looks is that cake is a stay at home mom. so some days she gets dressed and does her make up & other days are full on stay-in-your-work-out-clothes-avoid-a-shower-and-run-errands type of day :) </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
cake definitely goes for the simple silhouette of skinny bottoms & blouse-y/tunic/layered tops. she picks tops that feature a fun detail to give herself a little more spunk! hopefully you find it a bit wacky & not a bit wonky!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

a fun fringe turtleneck sweater with distressed skinnys and the most fabulous booties are an easy go to look for running to the coffee shop & get ice cream with the kiddos. aka what we do everytime both kids are home with just mom! ha! <b>sweater: joie, tank: j.crew, jeans: AG, shoes: choies</b></div>

this look is from when both kids were home & cake was able to sneak a shower in but not much else . . . aka frizzy wet hair & no make-up. thankfully the slouchy black hat helps hid the frizzy, and comfy pj looking clothes help make for a cozy functioning look let cake leave the house feeling pulled together.<b> hat: 360 cashmere, top: target, pants: betsy johnson, shoes: nike.</b><br />

a classic black turtleneck saves the day! it's easy to layer those tissue thin turtlenecks under a fun printed tank. especially when you live in NH and it feels like spring is never going to arrive & you're so bored with your winter clothes! ha! <b>turtleneck: j.crew, tank: chaser, jeans: levi, boots: frye.</b><br />

as soon as cake saw this top she had to have it. being a boy mom is the best and she had to let everyone know. she bought it when she was pregnant in a size L so it's a nice slouchy fit and so comfy. it's also from F21 so it's no thang when the kids get their sticky hands all over her! <b>sweater: F21, top: splendid, pants: F21, shoes: target, hat: j.crew.</b><br />

yup more skinny jeans with a textured top, long layered vest, & fun shoes! cake couldn't tell you how many times she gets stopped about her shoes! most people say, "Oh my gosh, how fun!" and she gets the occasional, "wow, those are different!" which is generally a good thing . . . . right?!?!? <b>top: target, jeans: 7 for all mankind, vest: anthropologie, shoes: target.</b><br />

alright last look. cake styled this in town ways because after wearing the look on the left she felt a bit cheesy. she took out the high pony tail & lost the chocker. not that the first look isn't good she just didn't feel like herself. maybe one too many things going on. which look do you prefer? t<b>op: target, tank: j.crew, jeans: AG, sweater: free people via ASOS, shoes: choie, chocker: adorn monde.</b>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08623269484437288496noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8060763019138795244.post-2873942717757328122017-04-21T15:00:00.000-04:002017-04-21T15:00:25.851-04:00uniform. valley.<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

we love us a routine, or a uniform. it makes mornings so much easier. but a uniform doesn't have to mean boring. especially if you fill your closet full of clothes that fit your body & fit into your lifestyle. so this post is a peek into valley's "in real life" looks. valley works two jobs, just moved into a new house, recently got married {pic of her wedding coming soon, because it was beyond}, has three dogs, and tries to see family & friends as much as possible because, well, she's the best {says her twin sister cake!}</div>

as you can see below valley loves classic pieces with a twist. below each look we've added a brief caption & tried to link to as many pieces as possible. however, if we've missed something give us a holler & we'll try to hook a girlfriend up with a link!</div>

valley said she looked "frumpy" in this look so she refursed to take a standing selfie. but we love the classic pairing of navy with a dark green chino. the bow detail on the neckline is a perfect feminine flair this look was craving. <b>sweater: banana republic, pants: j.crew, shoes: old navy.</b></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
1) our love of jeans & white tops is pretty clear. we both have closets full of both items. we literally can't help ourselves. we're both convinced the newest and brightest white top is totally different than any other one we happen to have in our current closets. and we happen to be right. ha. white. tops. forever.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
2) we can't wait for spring to finally arrive. just look at how beautiful all the green is. plus, that setting sunlight popping through the trees . . . . swoon.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<br />
to begin the story we need to go back to January 2016, three months before he was born. this is when i was diagnosed with gestational diabetes. at first i though, no big deal. chad, my husband, is type one diabetic so we eat a low carb, limited sugar diet anyway; i don't buy lots of snack food or desserts because it's way to tempting for him to binge, especially after years of denying yourself. so i really thought there wouldn't need to be too much adjusting to my diet. however after a few days of constantly testing my blood, recording my blood sugar levels, and reporting back to my doctor/dietitian/and assigned nurse who would monitor me for the duration of my pregnancy I realized what a bitch this whole gestational diabetes was going to be :( in addition to watching everything i ate, i now had to go to the hospital and do non-stress tests twice a week & meet with the above team of doctors/nurses/dietitian. thankfully i was able to schedule those testes/appointments on the days my daughter was at daycare! after three weeks of all the above listed steps I was unable to get my fasting/overnight blood levels within the accepted window of where they should be . . . so we moved onto medication. thankfully i only needed it before bed & in the end it helped regulate my sugar levels enough that i never needed a prescription for insulin. seriously after just those three months i have a totally new respect for my husband who has to live with this disease for the rest of his life {love you babe!}<br />
<br />
alright now we can fast forward to March 2016 aka due date month! as my due date approached there was lots of talk about having the baby early, which is common for women with gestational diabetes. with gestational diabetes the big worry is the baby can become too big! at this point i also needed to decide if i wanted to be induced to try and have a vbac or schedule a c-section. i had had a c-section with georgina due to some complications with her heart rate/oxygen levels during labor but after talking with my doctor my chances of needing another c-section were only 50%, this was based on my age/previous complications with birth/weight/size of my stomach, and where i was measuring on the growth chart . . . etc. after much discussion and weighing the risks of needing a c-section but not scheduling one, I decided to proceed with a scheduled c-section. with no family close by, read 900 miles away, it was a nice peace of mind to be able to plan what to do with georgi & our dog while i was in the hospital. it also felt "safe" to have a c-section. it put my anxious mind at ease because it's what i knew as far as labor went & it also eliminated the worst scenario; going into labor and trying to have a vbac birth but in the end still needing a c-section.<br />
<br />
as soon as I had made a final decision and signed the paper work for scheduling a c-section my doctor called down to the labor & delivery wing of the hospital to figure out a day. it's pretty surreal to pick a birthday for your child! for us the operating room schedule & georgi's daycare schedule dictated the date. it happened to work out that March 17th, St. Patrick's Day, was the only available day for the week leading up to my due date that lined up with georgi's day care schedule. i thought it was a lucky sign so we snatched the day up before it got booked by another couple!<br />
<br />
the morning of March 17th we woke up, got georgi off to daycare, which is at the hospital ironically, and then we went to check into L&D. my surgery wasn't scheduled until 1 pm which meant there was time to just relax, watch some TV, talk nervously, text with family members that were back in the midwest, and get me all hooked up to my necessary IVs. it also gave me time to take another shower at the hospital, which was necessary because they try and keep the operating room as sterile as possible. it was all so calm and peaceful, which was a stark contrast to my experience with georgina. since it wasn't the middle of the night and i wasn't actually in any pain or having contractions. a few hours passed and as we approached one o'clock a bunch of nurses & the doctor who would be performing the surgery came into my room and walked me verbally through what would happen in the next hour. at this point chad was getting in his scrubs and they were monitoring me & the baby to be sure we were ready to go. roughly around 1 p.m. my nurse & i walked down to the operating room and got me all set up to meet with anesthesiologist. just like last time chad needed to wait in my room until i was all set up and ready for surgery.<br />
<br />
as soon as i walked into the operating room all the nurses & doctors went around the room and introduced themselves to me to make sure i felt safe and secure. ironically as soon as the anesthesiologist introduced herself, i turned to her, and said, "i went to grade school with you!" turns out we're from the same small town in indiana and had both moved 900 miles away from home! it was a bizarre coincident which made the sterile operating room much more homey. soon i was "numb" from the waist down & just like with georgina as soon as i was numbed my adrenaline started pumping which means i began to shake . . . aka they strapped my arms & upper body down to the table. soon chad was brought in and he immediately started stroking my hair which helped calm me down. the surgery moved along efficiently and before i knew it i felt a huge amount of pressure as they prepared to take scotti out of me. as soon as they lifted him out, it felt like a big gush of wind had been pushed right through me. then, they held him up over the curtain and the first thought i had was, "he has soooo much DARK hair!" the nurses took him over to be weighed and measured; and of course being a boy he immediately pee'd on the them :) after wrapping him up they handed little prescott over to chad. he was so calm and peaceful which is still how he is, love our little prescott gregory. now for a few never before published pictures! for more current pictures check out his instagram account <a href="https://www.instagram.com/allthingsprescott/?hl=en" target="_blank">allthingsprescott</a><br />

happy weekend-ing friends!!!! just a quick little pop in today. here's another monochromatic look to enjoy, this time in neutral hues. basically a no fail look :) head to toe color is pretty easy to pull off & pull together. you likely have a few pieces in your closet in the same color family as each other, most likely it will be in the color that looks best on you! grab a few of those pieces, play around trying them on together, get good proportions and . . . viola . . . an quick flawlessly chic look!<br />

another new, yet old, post! kind of hard to wrap your head around huh :) clearly this is an old look because most of Midwest & all of the east coast is covered in snow from either lake effect or storm Stella. and valley's chic monochromatic blue look would have us freezing our butts off, but we're surviving, just barley . . . . when is spring arriving?!?! as girls who grew up just 90 miles from Chicago we know not to expect actual spring to arrive until at least April; but after a few "teaser" days where the temperatures were warm enough to get our hopes up we're already itching to get out our spring rain coats out of storage & pack up our parkas.<br />

well guys we did it; and by did it, we mean successfully posted two days in a row. we're your basic high achievers over here :)<br />
<br />
no but in reality it feels great to feel the love from you all. really. thank you.<br />
<br />
now onto the post. isn't cake's tote so fun. it's the perfect pop to a basic b+w look. it adds a little color & a little spunk to what could be a rather bland look. it's also fends off any & all evil spirits >:)<br />
<br />

<br /></div>
<div>
we bet you're wondering what has kept us away from the blog for so long . . . . well, here's a running list for you to browse:<div>
<ul>
<li>a new baby</li>
<li>wedding planning</li>
<li>moving (x2)</li>
<li>travel season</li>
<li>postpartum depression</li>
<li>living 900 miles apart from your twin sister/bff/blogging partner in crime</li>
</ul>
just a few minor life adjustments :) however we really really <i>really</i> miss having a space to look back on and recall all those minor life adjustments. so, one of our new years resolutions was to start blogging again. as of now we only have old posts to pull from, and by old we mean looks we photographed & edited but never posted here. we'll start with those and then work on sharing some more details on our life changes. if you're interested in those types of posts stick around, if not check back on us around june! by then we should have had some time together and have been able to pull together some new & current content!</div>

figured leap day was good day to make a rare appearance on the blog. seemed most appropriate as we seem to be in out of this space as often as leap day appears on the calendar!

<li>i'm four minutes younger than cake, which makes me the youngest of four girls.</li>
<li>i'm not adventurous with nail polish colors- red & gray are the only colors i get.</li>
<li>i've worn the same make-up since i was a freshman in high school; with the exception of red lip stain.</li>
<li>i hate <i>super</i> high heels and think 90% of the time they are unflattering.</li>
<li>i drive a green VW beetle.</li>
<li>champagne is my preferred drink, but i limit myself to two glasses because i've made the mistake of not doing that before. </li>
<li>if possible champagne should be served in a saucer/coupe and not a flute. </li>
<li>a good scarf should be full when wrapped and can be worn with anything & in all four seasons.</li>
<li>i love kempt facial hair. (on men...just to be clear!)</li>
<li>i'm a gift card hoarder, it's impossible for me to decide what to spend them on.</li>
<li>instagram is my prefered social media platform.</li>
<li>i had my nose pierced for a good 36 hours before i was over it. </li>
<li>i've lived in NYC, Chicago, and London; but nothing compares to home {aka Indiana.}</li>
<li>i'm always one hair cut away from getting bangs . . . but didn't they just grow out?</li>
<li>i've worn glasses since seventh grade, but complained about not being able to see the blackboard since i was in third grade. (thanks mom and dad!)</li>
<li>on my soccer team when i was little we had a rotating schedule of goalies so everyone had to do it, when it was my turn i took a ball straight to my face with out even putting my hands up to stop it. i never had to play goalie again.</li>

<li>coffee morning. noon. and night. always.</li>
<li>i one time sneezed so many times in a row that when i was walking to get a tissue i nearly passed out from being so light headed.</li>

<li>i plan all my outfits around how i'm going to style my hair & if it's not a good hair day, you might as well assume i'm in a bad mood.</li>
