Mushrooms. Daisies. Swirls. Mod. Pops of color. What decade do these make you think of? Our city's art museum hosts an annual fundraiser that helps restore pieces of art in its permanent collection. They ask a handful of creatives to create a 'living tableau' for guests to interact with, and take some fun photos. We … Continue reading Groovy Baby
We are mirror image twins. That means one of us is left handed, the other right handed. Our hair parts on opposite sides. In high school, one was the cheerleader, the other the artsy girl who hid in her room reading VC Andrews. Our tastes in decor are opposite: cozy British chic to more is … Continue reading Polished to Perfection
Maybe it's because our high school senior photos were less than stellar (hint: don't choose a photographer just because they offer a twin discount), or maybe it's because we wanted to have an excuse to get dressed up and have a fancy tea party. Whatever the reason is, it doesn't matter. We do recommend, … Continue reading A very merry unbirthday!

April will be on ways I am able to take care of myself. Note: I am unhealthy. I eat poorly, I … Continue reading Good Health: The Ultimate Luxury

Our friend Whitney threw the most colorful and fun wedding celebration. The groomsmen had pompom boutonnieres, we tossed dried herbs and jingled bells as the new couple made their way to their chariot. The reception had vintage planters filled with colorful blooms, and giant confetti-filled balloons. Here are a few photos from the florists behind … Continue reading Everything is Better with CONFETTI
Here in SWMO, the sun is starting to shine, the days are getting longer, the weather just a bit warmer. With the arrival of Spring, we are finally saying goodbye to winter. But I won't lie. I love winter, and this one was particularly cozy. Full of family, nights by the fire, strong cocktails and … Continue reading Mood Board: Winter is Going
Some women are blessed with long, dark, beautiful lashes. The kind that get in the way of their sunglasses, and trap flies. We are not those ladies. Both of us are eager to try eyelash extensions, but the price tag is a bit steep for us to maintain. Until we can save some money, we've … Continue reading Eyelash Envy
