Happy holidays! 

Whether it's that family get together or office party, you want to have the perfect outfit. 

Red is definitely festive and is the perfect hue to be your pop of color! 

A's A-line dress (how perfect) accentuated her figure, but was still classy. She paired it with a leather jacket to make it edgier and per usual, added a necklace for "pizazz."

H picked an outfit that would be fun for an office party. The skirt was a bit more form-fitting, so adding tights in keeps things classy. And to avoid her feet getting drowned out by the black coloring, wearing red heels is a good way to balance things out. 

A's outfit can be very versatile for different events; it's proper enough for a family get together, but still edgy chic enough to go out at night for that drink with the girls. By wearing nude heels, she created her "legs for days" look; skin colored shoes tend to lengthen you and it's a good way to show off that remaining tan from the summer, especially in sunny SoCal!

H's outfit had several components to it, so she kept her hair simple; for this outfit, putting your hair up in a bun is also a good option because it keeps the focus on your clothes. And that bracelet? It has a hedgehog and mushroom charm! (Yes, we can do a charm bracelet tutorial in the new year!)

The shoes were a courtesy of our friend, Linh. Check out her blog at linhwinn.blogspot.com! She's got great style and is a big reason why we started our blog. 

Kiss, kiss! Merry mistletoe, everyone!

DIY December: Holiday Nail Tutorial

I can't wait for Christmas, and what better way to show my excitement by painting my nails to celebrate the holidays! This is a super easy nail tutorial, and great for beginners like me.

Nail Polish and Materials Used (Left to Right):

1. Trophy Wife by Essie

2. Marshmallow by Essie

3. Wrapped in Rubies by Essie

4. Dotting Tool (or toothpicks!)

 1. First, apply a base coat! It's extremely important to do this step or else your nails will yellow.

2. Next, apply a white nail polish. Here, I used a sheer white polish.

3. Dab some green polish on a piece of paper, and with a dotting tool or toothpick, create different-sized dots at random on your nails. 

It should look like something like this:

4. Now do the same thing for the red polish and you're done!

Super easy right? Do you have your own rendition of holiday nails? Leave a comment below and show us! 

xoxo, A.

DIY December: Snow Globes

Hello! It's me, H, again. 

It's been a lot colder lately in Cali (don't judge us; we're used to sunny weather). But it's never been quite cold enough for snow. So to make your very own winter wonderland, here's a tutorial on how to make a mason jar snow globe. 

You can find all of these materials at your local craft store (I went to Michael's). I bought a set of "trees," white glitter, plastic deer, and a mason jar. You'll also need a few cotton balls and a glue gun. Some craft stores sell fake snow that will settle better when you shake it, but I thought glitter would make for a fun, sparkly addition to the holiday decor at home.
