babes and bikinis

going to school in massachusetts and nyc definitely brings cold weather with it. but spring break is coming soon and some of us are lucky enough to be heading somewhere warm. 

we've compiled some of this season's favorite swim suits. this includes the range from bikinis to one pieces. for girls that are self conscious about our tummies (talk to us both) pick out a high waisted bikini. it's french looking and holds everything in. or even a great one piece. if you are not ready to show a lot of skin these can still be sexy and interesting. 

if you are a bikini girl that amount of styles that are out there these days is crazy. but remember the weirder the straps are, the weirder the tan lines. so if you want a crazy one make sure to switch it off with a more normal one. make sure you're covering up too. wear a suit that covers the r rated parts of your body. and make sure it's the right size! you don't want anything falling out while running into the ocean.

and definitely stay away from patterns as much as possible. they're harder to mix and match with and you can't wear them repetitively. 

our favorite pieces are below. hopefully we can help you spice up your spring break!

city versus campus | winter going out outfits

we've all been there: 30 minutes to be out the door and nothing to wear. on top of that, it's freezing outside and you want to look cute. to problem solve for you, we've compiled some simple, reusable, and classic nighttime outfits for you-- regardless of where you reside. 

living in the city can mean facing almost any weather but you somehow still need to look your best. for new york the safest bet is all black. in any jam, black will always work for you and especially in the winter i'm always reaching for black.

jacket | crop top | jeans | booties

love list

most everyone always has a list of things they so badly want stored in their minds. that being said, I want to share my list with you! I love minimalistic style, I consider blue a neutral, and I can never get enough basics. those three beliefs characterize my closet and my wishlist. I want most of these pieces because they can be worn an infinite amount of times and in infinite ways. dressed up or dressed down, I must be able to wear what I buy in both settings. I also must love my purchase, so check out my six current desires, loves, and necessities below!

time to eat | brunch part one

in the next few weeks we will be doing a series on outfits to wear to brunch inspired by some of taylor's favorites spots to eat in new york city. but even if you don't live in the city, don't worry because we are sure you will find a place to rock these outfits. 

our first stop is at rosemary's located in the west village. we have included some pictures to get you in the mood.

city versus campus | keeping warm

living in cold places means some extra shopping in the winter and who would ever pass up more shopping. here are some of our favorite picks.

for city living:

river island coat

a coat is the basis of any great winter outfit. its the one item you will have to wear over and over again and this one will stand out in all the black in the city.

urban outfitters hat

believe me this hat will come in handy. it not only adds that next level to an outfit but it is also perfect for covering up that bad hair day.
