California Here We Cooooome: Part 1


Because no Awkward Girls post is complete without a creepy cat pic. 


We stopped at a banana stand, and the Arrested Development jokes ensued. There's always money in the banana stand. 
Us being the cast of a 90's teen show.
The Real World: Newport
"I can't see anything. It's just all black"
Scuttle?
So obviously we had to take some pics with it. 
The gang. 
Really, we couldn't get enough of that bird. 
Always leaving our mark. 


A few weeks ago, we roadtripped down to Newport Beach, CA for our bestie's wedding. Pre-Wedding activities included frolicking on the beach, lunch at TK's burgers, and reenacting scenes from The OC just like any normal tourist would do (Seth Cohen is our soulmate). And there's even more to come! Stay tuned for part two of our California adventure! 

(If that cliffhanger doesn't put you on the edge of your seat, I don't know what does)

ps. We did a little guest post for Charity of C'est La Belle Vie while she's off saving the world. Check it out here!

We Likey Wednesday + Hatchet Eyewear Giveaway Winner!

Girl Crush: Anna Sophia Robb
So, one of us may or may not watch The Carrie Diaries...
But srsly, 80's fashion never looked so good. Anna Sophia Robb works those neon colors and poofy hair like no other. We are totally into it.

Boy Crush: Michael Angelakos
We were lucky enough to attend the most amazing Passion Pit concert a few weeks ago. 
And whilst jumping up and down and screaming our heads off, we were all, "wait, who dat?"
Michael Angelakos errbody. 

This is probably the first (and mostly likely the only) time we've shared healthy food here.
But have you seen the commercials for this cereal? Models are like, "it's healthy AND delicious!"
And you're all, "yeah right, paid model. That kind of combination is against the laws of nautre."
But you know what? It actually is tasty. And you will poop after it. So, win/win!

We Want: Baseball Cap
While we never hopped on the trucker/Ashton Kutcher/youshouldn'tbewearingthat trend, we are totally into the classy baseball cap. And it almost looks like we're into sports. Almost.

Tunes: Alex Winston "Sister Wife"
 
 Warning: You will find yourself singing about polygamists for the rest of your life.

Funnies: How To Kill A Mustache
Because let's be honest ladies, we want to kill most of them. 

And don't think we forgot about our Hatchet Eyewear Giveaway winner!
And the winner is...
Nicole Seligman
Congrats Nicole on winning these awesome shades! Be on the lookout for an email from us!

Out + About: Floral Blazer





For this go 'round of Out + About, we are sharing one of our personal faves: the blazer.
But this time, it's 10 x's better and more appropriate for this season because there are millions of flowers all over it. It's great because the blazer says, "I get down to business", while the print says, "Let's frolic in fields and become best friends". 

While the blazer is already pretty formal to start off with, think a little out of the box by pairing it with an unexpected print! We consider stripes to be one of those 'neutral' prints that will go with just about everything. For everyday wear, dress down your blazer by playing with a more causal print (we are all about pattern mixing right now, if you couldn't tell). Grunge tea party anyone?

Hatchet Eyewear Wood Sunglasses

Wearing: The Understudy in Duwood

Recently, we've been loving the sparse, but much needed days of sun around these parts. It's almost like it's springtime (Despite the occasional snow dump, of course)! So naturally, these sweet wooden shades from Hatchet Eyewear came just in time. 
Hatchet specializes in the very best of wood sunglasses. Each pair is made entirely of durable, sustainable wood, and polarized lenses are standard. Plus, shipping is completely free too!
And did we mention how cool and rugged we feel in these slick shades? It's like wearing a log cabin on your face. Or an entire forest. You get the idea. 
Now, enjoy the most indulgent double-selfie session of all time:


#selfie #hot #hotties #dateus
Thanks Hatchet Eyewear!

Oh, and if you're loving these as much as we are, be sure to come back in a couple days for a chance to win a pair of your very own!



xoxo
