Fashion-smashion- Skating on Thin Ice


We have all dreamt at one time or another of being an ice dancer...gliding gracefully on the ice...twisting and spinning...well that is until you fall flat on your tush.  Just because your dreams of being the next Michelle Kwan are left on your pillow doesn't mean you cant dress like her.


For months now we have been oogling and googling skater dresses...saving them in our carts...emailing them to each other and gettting more and more obsessed.  After seasons filled with uber hipster, dowdy boring clothes spring brings us cute, girly and bright freaking trends...we heart it soooo much!


Skater dresses fit every one...no seriously...EVERY one...

-Got amazing legs like Miss Me?  √ Skater dresses will hook them up
-Got not so Miss Me legs but a killer waist? √  Skater dresses will let you show it off
-Love your boobies? √  Yup you know it
-Hate your bootie √  ok ok you get the picture

Here are a few of our faves...and maybe just maybe a few shoes to go with them...

Oh ps...boys (you know who you are...the ones we lovingly call baby daddies, this is basically a wish list ...as is every fashion post...hint hint...)


  Ok...the one that started our hearts a fluttering....this cray cray cute skater dress with cut outs from Asos...

The print is reminicent of a certain MJ dress we hearted last year...so maybe our hearts grew fonder from that...


This candy striped beauty should for SURE be worn with these gorge, delicious, insanely rad Mulberry Wedges!!!



Dear Asos (yes again), you had us at alphabet print...maybe its because we both have new(ish) bunnies or maybe we are just super young (like just outta high school young...cough cough) so we remember the alphabet like it was last year...


Loving the letters printed on this cutie bean SD (skater dress...obvs).  Great neck line, waist and  perfect flirty skirt!  It would die to be worn to Coachella and paired with these beauties...

 Hello Topshop lacey frock.  How quaintly awesome are you with your neon lime/yellow lining!?!?  Super awesome?  Yep...you is.  We heart you and all you represent!



 Ok, so our real life obsession started last year with this super sexy SD from Australian line, Lover.   Perfectly named because we heart it like a secret lover.   This dress is perfection...sexy, saucy, sweet, chic and can be worn ANYWHERE and literally with ANYTHING!  

Pair it with a moto jacket and these stupidly gorge Margiela booties and you my love will be the belle of any ball.


Oh, that Lover dress is crazy moolah....no shit!  We found this little number for you from (yeah yeah) Asos.  You're welcome!  

And maybe instead of those M booties (again...they belong to us in our dreams....or at our birthdays..hint hint boys...HINT mother f'n HINT) you can grab these Rachel Zoe-esque wedges from Aldo.  




How ever you wear it...wear it with sass and style...try not to opt for flip flops and a cardi...spice it up and who knows...you might end up with a gold medal for the style Olympics (if they gave out medals for that...which they like, totally should)


Its good to be back...no no...its GREAT to be back!!!
We love you guys!

Random Hearts??? Lana Del Rey

(Lana Del Rey promo shot: Stolen from Idolator.com)

We know you guys, We know.... We've been gone almost over a year, with two beautiful babies to show for it... And endless good intentions to sit down and post a wonderful piece for our true blue readers and supporters.... And we come back for Lana Del Rey?!

We KNOW!!!

But you guys... It's just something that can't be helped.


(Sixteen Candles image stollen from Cinema GOD, John Hughes)

We are officially obsessed. Going through the day checking and re-checking google images to make sure that, yes! Lana Del Rey does still look EXACTLY like the older drugged sister from Sixteen candles!

(as our dear & insightful friend Emily pointed out)


(Image match stolen from an unknown genius)

Checking to make sure that, yes! She is still some what annoyingly slow and pouty in her singing style....

And finally that YES, she does have the same name as the man-hungry 1970's O.G cougar from Three's Company!

(Image of Lana & Jack from Three's Company)

We are going for full honesty, pour-out-our-guts-ness here.
Paula Abdul style, STRAIGHT UP NOW.

We really want to hate her.... It has been so long since these feeling of confusion, stomach churning dislike mixed with secret admiration and jealousy have reared their ugly heads inside of us. Almost exactly, since high school actually.
She is THAT girl!

Oh my God you guys! Look at her!
F*CK!!


Lana Del Rey is like a young Julia Roberts that you just absolutely, positively, Just do NOT want to be besties with... That is unless she wants to be besties with us and then, in that case, sure, call me and I guess we can hang or whatever.

(Image of Mystic Pizza stolen from: Donald Petrie)

All we hear about these days is Lana Del Rey.... Our husbands listen to her in the car, in the office and are constantly trying to convince us that her songs are actually really new and innovative and that her lyrics are amazing...

Yeah, thats true.. Ok, we really DO like the lyrics to Video Games..

She MIGHT even actually be a Gangsta Nancy Sinatra or WHATEVER.... But we know 96% of it has to do with the fact that home girl looks like this....

(Image stolen from: Pastarunmusic.com)

Lana is like every indy, musician , skater boy, graffiti guys dream girl... In the end does it really even matter if she was manufactured in a record company board room?

She wears short, shorts and red high top converse in her F*cking videos people!

She wears ringer shirts and Esther Williams style flowers in her hair!

If she was created in a board room, then there were some genius decisions made that day!

As much as we want to be haters, we kinda can't... And why do we want to be anyway? Why did we spend/waste time finding her before and after plastic surgery photos?

(Image: Interview magazine duh.)

We live in HOLLYWOOD.... Who hasn't had a little work done? Although we do love the gals who openly cop to it, (because it's a little insulting to think we are that naive?) does it really make a difference? She was pretty in the before pictures anyway....

BITCH.

(Image: unknown source)

True story: One of us actually sent this before photo to her husband like,

"Look at your girlfriend before her lip job. Not trying to be a bitch..."

A. I was totally trying to be a bitch

B. his response was "Whatevs".

C. Seriously, just trying to remind you that my lips are ALL real dude.

See? That is some high school shiz... Why is this girl getting under my skin?

Is it because I don't like her? Or because when I borrow my husbands car I totally enjoy listening to her album and then change it to the Beastie Boys when I get out so as not to be discovered? Hmmmm?

Whatever it is we are torn... TORN, torn as her high waisted short shorts...

How do you feel? Let us know in the comment section.
Unless you live with either of us, in that case keep it to yourself mister.

Take us straight to the BAR! (Hey what do you want from us? We are new moms!) *Local-ish Edition*



Yes...it's exactly what you are thinking...that is if you are thinking of the newest bars in town.   Oh wait!! As much as Miss Me and I LOOOOOVEEEE ourselves a good Champagne or 5...



We are talking about a whole other type of bar.   The kind of bar that makes us look and feel beautiful with out having to make use of Beer and Vodka Goggles  *The "beer goggles" are considered to have distorted the "wearer's" vision, making unattractive people appear beautiful, or at least passably attractive.*



In LaLa Land and a few other major cities in the US, beauty bars are popping up everywhere.  They promise total beauty in no time flat and charge almost nothing for it...um hello?  Did you read that right?  Yup, you totally did!   




There are 2 we can't get out of our heads (or wallets) They each have their own specialty so you know you're getting the best...I mean you wouldn't go to a hand surgeon for brain surgery right?   Nail salons have been around for decades so it makes perfect sense why there would be shops popping up that do one thing and they do that one thing amazingly. 


Soooo you may have seen a few of our tweets lately drooling over The Dry Bar by uber mom, Alli Webb.   It's a blowdry ONLY salon!!!   Walk in with dirty dry hair and leave with glam goddess waves...done and done!


I know...we hate her too (in the best most adoring way of course)  ...anywhoo.. The Dry Bar is amazeballs.   You walk in to a salon so chic, so cute you would die to have designed it yourself or have it as your dream bathroom.  Its filled with white marble, white chairs and shelves and sunshine yellow accents....DELISH!!!!!  


It's visual perfection.   Then $35 (or $40 for you NYC'rs) and 30 min later you walk out with perfect hair....just choose your look from their menu and let the mavens take over...





To say we are obsessed is an understatement.   Yep...it totally is an indulgence but it's sooooo worth it!  And for $35 for shiny, sexy hair in under 30 min?!   Yes PLEASE!!!   Nothing makes a new mom feel rejuvenated like gorge hair...ok... gorge hair and a nutella panini.   





Oh, PS they are opening locations EVERYWHERE!!!


Ok, so we found the next bar from Daily Candy and it was crazy love at first site.   Its a super cute boudiour of a store that can take you from tired ol' gal to glam goddess in 30 flat.  Introducing Blushington.  


A makeup bar that just does that...make up!   Finally...no more booking terrifying blind dates with your local MAC counter...walking in not knowing what is about to happen.   




Blushington promises perfection and you can choose your look from their super cute menu.  They also offer classes for new mommies on how to look gorge in 5 min!!!!!   




So have no fear ladies....Blushington and The Dry Bar are there to help you look like a hot piece of ass with not a lot of cash :) (and in no time flat ...we couldn't figure out a rhyme for that one)

Monday Funday: Awards Edition...And the winners are....




Oh hello there! How's it going?  Good?  That's amazing...so are we. Thanks for asking! Been a wee bit busy over here but thought we would come back and say.....WE F**N MISSED YOU GUYS!!!!!!




We just couldn't stay away. And in honor of our 1st post in a while....we wanna do one of our faves. The Emmy Awards winners. Nope, not the winner winners....the fashion winners. Oh, yeah...no prob...you are soooo welcome.




Sooo with out further adieu... (we are old friends after all so no need to reintroduce ourselves right? or do idle chit chat to get comfy again) The fashion fabs and flubs of the Emmy's.

























Good news or bad news first? Totally...agreed.




The Good!  (in no particular order...especially since we forgot how to work blogger)


 Jennifer Carpenter...well done my dear!  Show that boy what he's missing.   Good ombre hair (but it could have been a wee bit more discheveled for that "I just had sex" look)...nice shoes and that delish Tony Ward nudey-silvery , sexpot dress.



   
 Yummy Kerry YUUMMMYYY!  How fantabulously gorgeously amazing does she look in this red firework sparkly gown?!?!?


So beautiful...we want...we need.   Just the right amount of classic with a dose of modern and a sprinkle of perfection!

Dear Amy Poehler,  you madame are a genius.  Not only are you insanely hilarious, super cute and talented but you are married to one of the funniest men in the universe!   Oh and your Peter Som futuristic dress is divine!  

Lea...D-to the mother f'n - lish!
                                




The Bad


No...no...no...no!!!


 Olivia,  this is kinda sorta your coming out party...next time call us!  We will totally style you...for free.   We love to see PYT looking good.  And this dress is not good.



Gwyneth?  No bueno...
Yes you are tall and thin...yes you are pretty and blonde...but Gisele you are not.   
This dress would not be good on anyone...especially for the Emmys.   
Please stop drinking your own GOOP.   






No words Katie...no words...except WTF?  This is the Emmys not a summer garden wedding
