Karen: Of The Heavens and The Earth

High Low Dress: Urban Outfitters

Handbag: Michael Kors 

Wedges: PacSun 

I've recently gained a better appreciation for all aspects of nature (aside from those pesky little mosquitoes). Whether my time is consumed by long walks beside the canal or long nights under the stars, I've come to really enjoy being outside. During my most recent nature walks, I wore one of my favorite high low dresses from Urban Outfitters. I paired this with my new Michael Kors handbag, a gift I received for my 18th birthday! 

Happy wandering, 

Karen 

Stephanie: Floppy Hats and Nature Walks

Floppy Hat: Target

Dress: Open Box (fashion company I interned with in China)
Turtle Necklace: Jezie Jewelry (my own company c: )

Ballet Flats: H&M

This is my favorite breezy outfit to wear while reading on a bench or walking along a nature trail near the water. I simply adore sunhats because they're perfect for protecting your face from the sun without having to wear sunscreen. Lately I've been a huge fan of going on nature walks or sitting on the roof and watching the sun set over the lake.

All the best,
Stephanie.

It was the heartache and heartbreak of our senior year that inspired this seven song set. In the middle of January, we both found ourselves fighting a wintery battle with our emotions. We were stuck in a romantic drama (with some minor comedic elements), and not quite sure how to asses, change, or remedy our situations. With nothing to do, we compiled a list of songs that represented our internal and external conflicts...feelings of unrequitedness, fears of leaving too many things unsaid, pains of desire etc. etc. Even though our not-so glamorous High School Musical has reached a conclusion, these songs still carry a lot of sentiment. From time to time, we find ourselves blasting these tunes on those open nighttime roads. Whether our adventures lead us to the local canal or the 24 hour diner, we can always count on this playlist for accompanying us along the way. 

Karen: Back to Basics

Striped Crop Top: American Apparel 

Black Maxi Skirt: Urban Outfitters

Velvet Black Heels: Macy's 

Black Sunhat: NYC Boutique

Hello everyone! I guess it's safe to say that my favorite colors to wear are black and white. They're so simple, yet so elegant. Today, I paired one of my favorite chiffon maxi skirts with a striped turtleneck--the perfect mix between Parisian mimes and Parisian couture. To complete the look, I topped it off with a black sunhat that I found in a little New York City boutique. Enjoy!

Stay classy, 

Karen 

Stephanie: Cliche Caturday

Cat Sweater: Gifted from China

Tights: Forever 21

Black Pumps: Target

Hope everyone is having a great Saturday! Karen and I took an intense spin class this morning so I'm feeling refreshed and energized. For some reason I love the sweater paired with tights combination. I received this sweater from my aunt who sent it to me from China! It's one of my favorite sweaters because I love cats.

With love,
Stephanie.

Karen: Flappers and Frill

White Fringe Dress: Urban Outfitters

Velvet Black Heels: Macy's 

Headpiece: Mom's Closet

I was rummaging through the sales section at Urban Outfitters one day, and came across this gem. It's a classy 1920s inspired dress that can easily be worn casually or formally. Yesterday, I paired it with one of my mom's old necklaces, strung around my head. Given the proper accessories and heels, I definitely feel ready to hit the club (or speakeasies, for that matter). 

Happy adventuring, 

Karen

Blue Floral Dress: Forever 21

Black Pumps: Target

The title of this post is based on the lyrics of one of my favorite songs ever, Young Blood by The Naked and Famous. Karen actually showed me this song during sophomore year and it just makes me nostalgic and perfectly captures the feeling of being a teenager. These pictures were taken in front of a building in Princeton University yesterday. This dress was an impulse buy and it's actually my go to dress. I wore it to the first day of Governor's Ball with tights and black combat boots instead of heels. Anyways, I have to go shopping for groceries because my friends and I are making pina coladas on this rainy day.

Until then, 
Stephanie.
