SUGAR HIGH


Last week, we were invited to go on a little adventure with our photographer and personal bestie, Caitlin Collins. She was taking photos for the website Local Sugar, and we got to go along for the ride. 

If you haven't checked out the website Local Sugar yet, stop what your doing (after you finish our blog post, of course) and check it out! If you enjoy eating, shopping, or sipping a cocktail or two, then this is your guide to do it! Local Sugar is a locally curated guide to the best restaurants, food trucks, cocktail dens, and boutiques in your area. The website covers Austin, Dallas, Fort Worth, Houston, and San Antonio. 

It was basically the best girls day ever - starting with frozen sangria at Zocalo Cafe, and three outfit changes later, ending with iced coffee and hibiscus mint tea at TOMS on SoCo. Oh, and the highlight of our day? Stopping for ice cream at Lick. Our favorite flavor? Honeyed Peaches with Rosemary! YUM!


Check out our fave pics of the day taken by the crazy talented photographer Caitlin Collins, aka Augusta Leigh Photography, and comment on your ATX go-to spots!


Cheers, Lovelies!

THE 90'S ARE LIKE BACK... WHATEVER.



It’s no secret the 90’s have been making a huge come back lately, which we think is pretty “rad" because this is the first decade of style that we’ve witnessed first hand. We may have not fully embraced the grunge/punk trends of the 90’s, since we were still in our Limited Too phase, but are thrilled to try them all out now. Well, maybe not “all” of them. We’ve all fully excepted the rise of denim once more. I mean, who couldn’t love denim jackets, distressed denim, and denim on denim? Yes, please!

With the exception of the Brittany & Justin crisis of '01. YIKES.
Until then, leave us your fave 90's trends in the comments below!




Here are a few of the 90’s trends we are on board with:

chokers
wide leg pants
flannel and plaid
crop tops and high waisted bottoms
birkenstocks
converse and vans
patterned two piece outfit
leather biker jackets
overalls
jumpsuits




Here are some of the ones that maybe should have stayed in the 90’s:

bucket hats
adidas slides…with socks (yuck!)
scrunchies
jellies
tattoo necklaces 


We'll let you know if we ever warm up to these...

WELCOME!

We are so excited to finally be launching this blog!! This is something we have talked about since we met, and something we have both thought about for much longer.

On this blog, you'll find a whole lot of fashion-mixed with a little DIY, health and beauty.  We'll also share our expertise on the best places to eat and hangout in Austin, as well as tips & tricks to get through your day.

Our friendship started on a sunny day in Fredericksburg, TX...over a plethora of cheese, bread & wine. How could you not be friends after that?? With so many shared interests, and our boyfriends being best friends since second grade, we've spent a great deal of time together and shared many wine induced conversations about starting our dream blog. Here we are a year later finally making it happen! 

Why should you read this?
With Brittany's immense fashion training and Mackenzie's extensive event coordinating background, we can provide you with some dang good advice on how to throw the best party and look incredible while doing it!

We hope you enjoy our favorite things and find this blog inspiring!
