Best Of Both Worlds

admin — Thu, 04 May 2017 04:34:35 +0000

I’m a VA girl through and through. Born in raised in Warrenton, VA surrounded by farm land and my furry four legged friends, I developed a love for my state at an early age. Call me a homebody but I just haven’t found a state that gives me the feels that Virginia does. The rolling pastures, roaming horses, and endless wineries are just a few reasons why I love my home-state but my family and friends play a big role in that too. Probably why I haven’t ventured too far away from it in my 33 years (good lord I’m old) of life. Don’t get me wrong, I love to travel and take almost any opportunity to go out and explore the world but it always makes coming home that much sweeter. While Arlington, VA is my current home with my husband and two rescue mutts, I still feel like I am close enough to my hometown to escape the hustle and bustle when need be. But other times I love being so close to DC because of the amount of things I can do in the snap of a finger. I can Uber into the city to eat at […]

A Trip to the Local Farmer’s Market

Every chance I get, I try to make a trip to the local farmer’s market on Sundays. I can’t think of a better way to start any day than walking the market tents and scoping out the produce, all while supporting small businesses and local farmers. My hubby and I really enjoy cooking together. It’s a creative outlet for us and sometimes it is the only bonding time we have with our crazy work schedules. During our visits to the farmer’s market, we find inspiration for planning our next meal while perusing all the local fruits and veggies that they have to choose from. That night we made zucchini spaghetti with fresh, homemade tomato sauce. So tasty! If you want to try out our sauce recipe you can find it here! For this Farmer’s Market trip, I thought it would be fun to dress that part 😉 Wearing- Overalls: Frame; Top: Intermix (old, similar here); Bag: Mulberry (old; similar here); Shoes: Superga xo Michelle

The Perfect Tee

admin — Tue, 22 Apr 2014 12:38:52 +0000

We are sure we are not the only ones that are constantly on a mission to find the perfect tee. Let’s be honest, as soon as temps hit above 90’s and creep into the 100’s, a flattering tee and some cut off shorts are always the go to. We love the versatility of a basic tee by pairing it with distressed denim or dressing it up with a pencil skirt and blazer for work. The options are really endless! We wanted to get ahead of our own wardrobe and help our readers find the “perfect tee”, so we tried several different styles and designers and narrowed it down to our 4 favorites… Sarah is wearing the Loose Short Sleeve V-Neck by Enza Costa. We loved this tee because of its perfect v-neck depth, flattering fit and how thin and soft the fabric was. You will be seeing us rocking Enza Costa Tee’s all summer long! Michelle is wearing the Rolled Sleeve in Tide Print Tee by Sol Angeles. It truly gives off the perfect relaxed California style designed for a low maintenance approach to refined living. The rolled sleeves and neckline completed the styling and effortless look for us! Sarah is wearing […]
