Inspired!

This weekend was inspiring. A fashionable trend setter was spotted sporting a trend that has been admired but not attempted by us, shorts in winter! She did it so wonderfully, sticking to a neutral palette with the right accessories. A loose top to compliment the fitted aspects of the shorts and stockings completed the look. Come to find out she is a new fashion blogger. So pop on over and meet our new friend Helena. You too might be inspired!

Stylish Blogger Award!

We are thrilled to be honored with the "Stylish Blogger Award" from Alison of alisonandjustin. We have truly enjoyed following her blog lately.




The Rules are:
1. Thank and link back to the person who gave you the award.
2. Share 7 things about yourself.
3. Award to recently discovered bloggers.
4. Contact these bloggers and tell them about this award.

It is always fun to come up with things to share about yourself that might be interesting to other people.  We really enjoyed putting this list together!

1.  We were friends almost instantly and both remember the moment we met, 
and hope we never forget that interaction.

2. We love to hear about peoples meals. As in, when we talk to you on the phone and hear you went to lunch, we truly would love to hear all about your meal. What did you have, was it delicious, how was the dressing?  It allows us to visualize it and as foodies we almost enjoy the meal without consuming a bite!

3. We have a major popcorn obsession. Stephanie's family makes it every Sunday and growing up we would always take it to her grandparents house. And yes, there is a secret recipe and it is DELICIOUS! Ask any of our friends, they will attest to its magical properties. It has become a regular at many gatherings.
Almost gone!
4. Our parents had a pact and it resulted in no PG-13 movies until we were almost in college. The result was that we watched many black and white movies. 

5. Our favorite treat for movie night was a very large jar of pickles. We would eat them until our tongues peeled off in pieces. Only then did we consider switch snacks.

6. Our most upsetting car accident happened together, while initiating the next group of incoming cheerleaders, at 4:00 O'Dark in the morning. Traumatizing. We were picked up by Stephanie's dad who proceeded to wear a banana nose the entire ride home, to lift the mood and remind us that things like this just happen in life sometimes. When they do, don a banana nose and wave at everyone you pass by.

7. Our friendship has been tested and we know that regardless of the distance between us that when we come to the end of our lives, we will still be friends. 

Some of our favorite new bloggers that we would like to give this award to are:
Tiny Happy Things
Elizabeth Perry Blog
Young and Fabulous


We would love to hear what blogs you are following. 
So pass on their information so we can pop in and take a peek!
