We just got back from a wonderful Thanksgiving trip to California where we ate more than our bodies ever wanted to handle. Is that a crime? No. No it's not.
So we ate.
We hung out with family.
We had food comas.
We gave thanks.
Then we took part in some gratuitous American consumerism in the form of Black Friday.
If that's not enough, we documented our journey through Instagram.
Northern Californiaaaaaaa, here we cooooooooooooooome.
Pretty Sunsets and Dirty Windows
Maybe we stopped at a random house with pretty christmas lights in the middle of the night and took pics. Maybe we didn't.
Maybe we took lots of pics. So many colors! So intense!
Feeling so alive!
Snow. Why are you so beautiful and disgusting at the same time?
We seriously can't stop looking at this. So cute. We die.
Mad's beautiful pregnant sister!
Okay, we love Bass shoes. There, we said it.
Special shoutout to some really awesome guys who make us delicious breakfast sometimes. They know the way to our hearts.
The true meaning of Christmas: Snookie and The Situation ornaments
Happy Thanksgiving (tomorrow)! We hope everyone has a wonderful day and shoves their faces with immense amounts of delicious food. That's what we'll be doing.
Girl Crush: Julia Garner
We guess she's alright, if you're into that whole gorgeous-adorable-perfect-hair-type thing.
Also, be sure to look for her in The Perks of Being a Wallflower. We definitely will be!
Boy Crush: Michael Trevino
We know we have featured VD guys before, but can you blame us?
We think not. Just look at him.
Flava of the Week: Thanksgiving (duh.)
Turkey, stuffing, gravy, casseroles, and pies galore. Need we say more?
We Want: Bass Shoes
No, not this bass (unless he's into it...?) but this one. Both of us recently bought a pair and we are in love. Preppy, cute, and comfortable. Check, check, and check.
Tunes: Tallest Man On Earth, "Like the Wheel"
It's about to get all sentimental up in here.
Funnies: Handsome Men's Club
In the spirit of the recent "Sexiest Man Alive" debut, we figure this is pretty fitting. And hot.
Because of this, we are at our respective homes for the week.
Since blogging apart is kind of difficult for us, we decided this is a perfect time to utilize something we're pretty thankful for (as well as the rest of the blogging community):
INSTAGRAM
We don't know why making fake vintage photos is so satisfying, but it just is.
So when you're on campus, and you get crazy and start running around a grassy hill, Instagram is there to capture the moment.
Why we do things like that, we're still not sure.
More scenes of campus that day:
hey, nice boots.
sunshine
Taking pictures of boy taking pictures of berries.
We've never used another blogger as our Girl Crush, but we just had to this time. Jamie is the brains behind these cinemagraphs you've been seeing around the internet:
But not only is she a super talented photographer, she's ridiculously gorgeous and always so well-dressed. Check out her blog here.
So, we thought we would surprise you with a cute little video expressing all of our hopes and dreams. You know, help you guys get to know us a little bit better. We soon realized we are physically incapable of being normal. The following is the result. Be prepared to see us be really hideous attractive.
The first attempts:
(excuse the fact that Lauren sounds like Fran Drescher. Or a pubescent 12-year-old boy. She lost her voice.)
Well that was fun. The videos soon regressed into this:
we were blissfully unaware our faces could look like that
blair witch project, part deux
the black hole of friendship
some may ask, why? we say, why not?
us, and us, and more us
precious moments
Then maybe we just started taking videos of us lip-synching stupid youtube videos.
We're starting to think posting these was a bad idea...
We love what he's doing. Utah gets a pretty bad rap in terms of fashion and he's taking time to prove that there ARE people around here that care about fashion.
We were lucky enough to be featured on his blog today, so check it out!
Don't let the name Awful Waffle fool you. Unless "awful" is another word for ridiculously delicious and awesome. This place is kind of a Provo landmark that serves waffles and crepes and it's located literally just around the corner from our apartment, yet last night was our first time eating there. It doesn't really make any sense, we know.
Needless to say, it was delicious.
Right, Maddie?
We Want: Collars
Who needs the rest of the shirt when the collar is so cute by itself?
Tunes: "Gold in the Air of Summer" Kings of Convenience
Ok. We miss Summer. There, we said it.
Funnies: Josh Groban sings Kanye West Tweets
We don't know which is the true form of art. Josh Groban's voice, or Kanye West's inspiring words.
