We’re almost there chickies! To the three day weekend I mean. With the upcoming holiday there are so many Memorial Day sales and great stuff that has been marked down. Woop Woop. Happpyyyy Shopping!!
Last Saturday, Sally and I had the honor of being guests at Bradley’s wedding. It was a beyond gorgeous ceremony and an out of this world reception and we feel very lucky that we got to celebrate with her and her new groom! The occasion called for black tie so we both decided on long dresses that were nice but not too, too formal (didn’t want to look like we were going to prom or a gala) and glammed them up with accessories. We owe a very special thank you to Elizabeth Showers for loaning us pieces from her stunning collection for the evening (#spoiled #wishwecouldkeep). Per usual, I went with cool tones (blues and grays) and Sally stuck with the warm colors that always compliment her (pinks, corals, cantaloupe). I’ve always been the “blue” girl and she the “pink girl – ever since we were little… Even after hours of dancing we still felt comfortable in what we wore – a must in our book – and we’re excited to pull the dresses out again when the opportunity arrises! We love you B + C – thanks again for letting us be part of your special day!
P.S. We are extremely honored to be featured on Style Me Pretty Living as part of their “Behind the Blog” series! We hope you’ll hop over there to check out the pictures of our apartment (thank you, Kelsey) and our Q+A!!

The other weekend in Austin I saw a girl wearing the most adorable pair of chambray/denim shorts with a perfectly sized scallop along the bottom. I loved that they were in fact a denim short, but a dressier and classier version of your typical cut-off jorts. Don’t get me wrong, I lovee my jorts, but there’s definitely a time and a place for them:) When I saw that these shorts were adorned with a pretty little gold bird on the bottom, I knew immediately that they were the work of MiH. A denim company founded in Britain, MiH is relatively new to us, but I love everything that I own of theirs. Their jeans are soft like you have had them forever and contain just the right amount of stretch. The waistband isn’t one of those tight and annoying waistbands that you constantly have to adjust. In a word, they’re legit.
I quickly searched the Internets (I am an Internet search guru when it comes to finding products), and found that my new favorite article of clothing was still available. Not only did I find the Scallop Shorts at MiH, but I found about a million other things that I now love and want. Starting with the above color blocked jeans in the perfect combination of yummy, sherbet-like colors. They’re unique and special just like the scalloped short. You’re killing me, MiH! How good would those jeans look paired with a classic white button down like this one? The love is just as equal for their Bandana Print Shirt that would look perfect tucked into some white skinnies. Eeee! Me + MiH = love.
