Fashion Icons: Bethany Cosentino

Alrighy everyone! It's time for a new feature on the blog! We will now be doing posts dedicated to our style icon. And my first is none other than the beautiful Bethany Cosentino. You may know her from one of my favorite bands, Best Coast. Aw man she is just too cool. Her style is almost like modern 90s.(A.K.A. the best decade) And it just screams California. I love it. Not to mention she and her boyfriend, Nathan Williams (of Wavves), are one of my favorite couples.

As you may know she somewhat recently did a collaboration with Urban Outfitters. It was totally rad. I'm so sad it's over.

My (Wendy) Spring/Summer Picks: Dresses!

 Mother Nature was kinda late in giving New York City a snow storm, like a month late. And I'm here on my laptop telling you guys about my spring/summer dress picks. Like what Jess said or rather wrote on her previous blog post, spring is just around the corner, and I thought it was appropriate to share my personal picks for the upcoming season and give you guys some  inspiration for your next shopping expedition. So going in order of the pictures here are my picks.
  
Shakuhachi's New Romantics Dress: First off I think this dress is perfect for Coachella. The model in the picture is working it. There are so many things I love about this dress. The daisy and circular embroidery adds a cool relaxed hipster vibe that is juxtaposed with the hard, but subtle cutouts that adds a fun and flirty look to the whole outfit. It's the perfect length and shows enough skin that doesn't seem like you're trying to hard. Just like the model I would wear my hair down and attempt to make it wavy just like her or maybe even better. As for shoes a simple sandal or ankle booties would definitely work. 

Cheap Monday's Collen Chambray Shirt: This dress/shirt screams too cool for summer school. I also love how the model is wearing the dress. It's so street-chic without really trying too hard. I can imagine a girl wearing this dress walking down the busy streets of New York City, drinking her ice coffee without a care in the world.

Finders Keeper's Moon Dance Long Sleeve Tunic: Ever since Givenchy presented colorful and bold prints down the Paris Runway I've been trying to incorporate prints into my wardrobe. I love the cool color palette that Finders Keepers used. It's perfect for those summer sunset walks down the California beach that Jess and I dream about.

Motel's Medusa Dress: I would say that this dress is the fanciest out of the bunch, but you can dress it down. Put a denim button down and you are out the door. I just love the silhouette and the small detailing with the studs around the waist area. The silhouette of this dress makes you seem slimmer. (But don't worry you don't need that because you are perfect)

Finders Keeper's You Sent Me T-Shirt Dress: And yet again another Finders Keepers dress. I love this brand. They design and produce clothes that are fit and form fitting and lose and relax. Same with the first Finders Keepers dress, you can wear this dress practically wherever and do whatever. Both of the Finders Keepers dresses are easy to style. You can pair them off with a simple heel or ankle booties and be out the door and the world is ready for you!!

So those are my dress picks for the upcoming beautiful spring/summer season. I have a good feeling that this one is going to be a good one!

Jess's spring wishlist♡♡♡♡♡♡

Okay so today is March 1st, which means Spring is just around the corner(to me at least), and that means it's a perfect time for a Spring Wish list! Without further ado, my wish list.

American Apparel Nail Polish: The American Apparel Coney Island colored nail polish is such a dream color. Personally, I think that some cute nail art completes an outfit. I'll be sure to do a nail tutorial real soon.

Starbucks Iced Chai: I know that this isn't a piece of clothing or anything but I simply cannot wait until I get to sip an Iced Chai from Starbucks while walking down the street in a cute summer dress and sunnies with the wind blowing softly through my hair. Ah I can picture it now... and I need to stop because I'm getting myself excited and I'll go into shock when I actually step outside.

Floral Crown: A.K.A. the ultimate spring accessory. I'm sure you've been spotting floral crowns popping all over. It's an unexpected way to really spice up an outfit. Definitely going to be a huge trend for Spring/Summer. We're working making some floral crowns ourselves, might I add, so be sure to keep an eye out for that.

American Apparel Circle Skirt What can I say? This skirt just screams Spring time lovin'! Just imagine how cute it would be with practically any crop top/tank top you can think of.

Deena & Ozzy Snap Clutch From Urban Outfitters: I love love love this color. It's so mellow but at the same time it could totally transform an outfit. Plus you could use it year round, why restrict this gorgeous bag to only Spring?

Daytripped Panama Sunglasses From Urban Outfitters: As you may have noticed I'm just a little obsessed with sunglasses. Okay... very obsessed with sunglasses. These sunnies are next on my list. Of course, I would also love some Marc Jacobs or some Tom Fords but seeing as I wanted this wishlist to be realistic, unfortunately I'm probably not going to be getting designer sunglasses any time soon. Anyway, these sunglasses are just beautiful and I can't wait to scoot on over to Urban and buy them for the low low price of just $16! weeeeeeeee

Diament Jewelry For Urban Outfitters Earrings: Don't get me wrong, I love hoop earrings and everything but I prefer studs. I especially love mixing and matching studs and these are just perfect. Plus, they're on sale for 10 bucks! 

Free People Knee Socks: One of my all time favorite movies is Clueless and I obviously draw a lot of inspiration from it. Needless to say, I'm in love with knee socks and thigh highs and Free People just so happen to make beautifully soft ones. 

Supergas: I love these sneakers. They're so classic. One of my favorite style icons is Alexa Chung and she wears these constantly. They're perfect for adding some cool to any outfit.

Cosmic Dream Dress From Nasty Gal: Last but not least is this lovely dress. I guess you could say it was love at first sight. When I said a cute summer dress before^ this dress fits the card. Oh lordy... forget Spring, I want Summer.

Come On A Journey With Us: Wendy

You can possibly tell a little bit about us based on our clothes that Jess, Sophia and I had hauled in the past month, but here's a little bit more about me, Wendy. :) My clothes and my room can tell a lot about me. I've changed over the course of time and so have the 7 billion other people on this planet. I probably reinvented myself more times than I can count. I laughed, I cried. I had my ups and downs. I had times where I felt like sh*t and I had times where I felt like I was on top of the world. The summer of 2010 was the darkest period of my life (This is before I met Jess and Sophia). But luckily I had the support from my family and my friends and I got through it. I could possibly not be here if it wasn't for them. In the words of Robert Frost, "In three words I can sum up everything I've learned about life — It goes on." And yes indeed life does go on. But moving away from the sad stuff I met and Sophia and Jess in my sophomore year of High School. I didn't expect that these two beautiful young girls would end up being my best friends.

        The year 2013 is going to be HUGE for us three. We're 16 going on 17. That also means college is slowly approaching. Don't worry, Sophia, Jess and I intend to commit to this blog and our friendship. And in the words of Heidi Klum, we will "make it work." I plan to go to F.I.T (Fashion Institute of Technology) and  major in advertising and marketing communications or fashion merchandising management. I just want to work in the fashion industry no matter what. I love fashion and you can probably tell by how much I LOVE to shop or by how fashionably my room is decorated. . . jk. Well here's a look in my room, my most intimate place. This is where all the magic happens. 

This is a wine glass that I took from my mom's wine glass collection? I just love how the glass detailing looked so I decided to use it as a container for my bracelets.

 A little tray I got a few years back that I use to contain random stuff. In the back I have two small shot glasses that holds my sample perfumes that I got from Sephora and a pair of gold bangles hanging around. Next to the shot glasses I have a vintage Dior perfume from Mama Ching. I don't particularly like the smell because it smells like it's for older women, but I kept it because of the bottle. I also have a few fall nail polishes there for easy access if I choose to paint my nails and a candle that smells like heaven. I have my trusty RayBan wayfarers that symbolizes the hope I have for summer to come faster. Some business cards from shops and coins from different countries and a Tiffany necklace that I got from my dad when I was younger... I think I lost the matching bracelet.

 OMG dats my hair. Girl in a bun don't care (Can that be a thing?). This is my jewelry box minus the jewelry part. And yes those are bra pads in my jewelry box, because I do stuff like that. I use my Toms shoe box to store my massive collection of nail polish and I have a pack of gum on top.

A part of my wall. I just love fashion advertisements and how lovely they look on my wall. On the bottom right corner I have some magazine holders that I made a long time ago with several magazines and that is far from my magazine collection I tell you. And I have some Chinese stuff hanging and one of them is a orange beaded rat because that's a thing and I have it. 

And finally you have a face for Wendy. Sorry If you were expecting Peter Pan's best friend, but I can promise you that I'm a trillion times better than her. Isn't this face full of sassiness?!!

P.S. Don't worry, I'm the good kind of sassiness that will brighten the atmosphere and mood.

Some New Clothes I Got wooo

Alright! I, Jess, am finally going to make a contribution to this blog. There are a few recent additions to my wardrobe that I would like to share and here they are, in order from the top: the 

Voile Trapeze Slip in blue from Free People, the Fitted With Daisies Dress in black, also from Free People, Sadie Moon Tank in gray, from Brandy Melville, the Sadie Moon and Sun Tank also from Brandy Melville, and the Novelty Midi Ring from Free People.

As you may know, Sophia, Wendy, and I live in New York City. And as you also may know, it is winter in New York City. Since these facts are facts, I unfortunately have not been able to wear these wonderful dresses as much as I would like to. 

Or, in the case of the polka dot dress, at all. I love this dress so much and I had my eye on it for a while, I was just waiting for my auntie to take me shopping to buy it. Heehee... So, you might be thinking "Why not just wear it with tights, Jess?" and I have thought about that, but honestly I'm not so sure I love this particular dress with tights. Anyway, it is a gorgeous dress and I'm actually hoping to get it in some other colors as well. Why can't Spring come sooner??!!!

However, because I still sort of refuse to accept that winter is here and winter is cold (psshhh it's only January... whatever, right?) I have worn the daisy cut out dress. What a dream. It is beautiful, and super cute with or without tights. I am definitely planing to save up and get this one in the merlot color as well.

Not to mention both of these dresses look simply amazing with thigh high socks. ; )

Continuing on, I later ventured to the Brandy Melville online store, and after a long week of anticipation, my purchases finally arrived all the way from California. I've always had a thing for suns and moons, and I am totally and completely in love with these tanks. Both can be paired with either a cute skirt (I wore the first with a black circle skirt from American Apparel, another love of mine) or with jeans!

The last thing I will talk about is the ring. I've been wanting for an accessory that I can wear with anything to show off my moon obsession, and this ring does that perfectly. (Please note the twisty ring is a separate, vintage piece.) I bought this ring at the same time I bought the two above dresses, and until I went on to the Free People website I had absolutely no idea it was supposed to be a midi ring. Oh, what boney-ass fingers I have. I suppose i could wear it as a midi on a different finger, but I think I like it where it is.

P.S. I am definitely planning on making my hangers pretty using Wendy's DIY, below!!
