WHAT WE WEAR: SLUSHIES AND JUMPSUITS

After the longest Polar Vortex ever, I am definitely welcoming Summer with open arms-which is weird for me because being too hot is actually the worst. Yet, here I am in a pant jumpsuit...

 However, this is the BEST jumpsuit. It's super soft, lightweight and not that hard to get out of. Also, slushies-which always come from the gas station and are too tasty for their own good.  If I drink like six in a row I get my seventh one free AND a coveted spot in "Club Chill". So take that, Summer Heat.

Looking forward to more Summer days and many more slushies!

WHAT WE WEAR: BANGS AND BRAIDS

I tend to spend approximately zero minutes fixing my hair each morning. Thank goodness unkempt waves are in (*fingers crossed* that they never go out of style). When I decided to get bangs, I felt like my hair finally got something interesting it deserved. And with my recent venture into red, my hair is officially in exciting new territory. I've always loved maiden braids, and think they pair really well with bangs. It's also a shockingly easy style to fix, even for the hair impaired like myself. I used the tips from a tutorial found here.

Here's to jazzing up sunny spring days with a new 'do! What are your favorite and easy ways to fancy up your hair?

WHAT WE WEAR: ANTHROPOLOGIE SPRING FAVES

We are so excited to show you guys a few more pictures from our shoot with Kat Marcum! We loved all of her ideas and couldn't wait to take some pics on this giant staircase! There may or may not have been a wedding ceremony happening in the building at the top of the stairs so we did some quick poses (and gave a few late attendees directions) before the Bride and Groom emerged from behind the double doors!

For these outfits we wanted to showcase some of our favorite spring items from Anthropologie, not to mention THE cutest french bulldog tote!

Sprinkles are the MOST fun in blog photo shoots.

The Grand Budapest Hotel was wonderful! A must see.

Spring clothes shopping after an extra dreary winter is the best.

Good beer with even better friends at our favorite, West Sixth.

WHAT WE WEAR: PHOTOS WITH KAT MARCUM

We are so excited to finally share these amazing photos from the wonderfully talented Kat Marcum with you! Kat is a local Lexington photographer who specializes in weddings and portrait photography. Be sure to check out her fabulous work here and here. We were so lucky to get the opportunity to work with her and share her pictures on the blog. She couldn't have done a better job at making us feel comfortable in front of the camera, despite how awkward we try to be. Kat was a delight to work with and we can't wait to share more of her photos in the future!

Thank you so much Kat for taking such wonderful pictures and making us feel beautiful. We couldn't be happier with how they turned out!

WHAT WE WEAR: KEEPING IT CASUAL

Not too long ago when I heard the word "casual" my mind immediately went to spandex. And baggy t-shirts. And my Mickey Mouse sweatshirt with an ice cream stain on it. Eventually, however, I figured out that days off work, running errands, and coffee dates didn't mean I had to look like a bum on laundry day. A lot of times dresses can be just as comfortable (maybe even more!) than sweatpants. Once you've found a great casual dress, just throw on a few accessories in fun colors and cozy fabrics to bring it all together.

Dress/Anthropologie, Pullover/Anthropologie, Scarf/Forever21, Shoes/Minnetonka (here)

This dress is a great lightweight chambray that I love. It's easy to throw on in the summertime or layer with sweaters in spring. The pullover is equally as adorable, and I love that the color says it's 90 degrees but the fleece-lined sweatshirt says it's actually 40. Both are by Sam & Lavi, a brand Anthropologie carries that I've never been disappointed with!

And a final shoutout to my Minnetonka moccassins, which you can probably find me wearing at least 5 days in a week in all seasons. Easily the comfiest shoes I've ever owned, and look cute with dresses, shorts, pants, leggings, anything!

What are your go-to favorites for casual days? 

Stay tuned to D+D for some exciting new posts next week! It's something we're particularly excited about and should get everyone excited for spring.

XO, Paige

THREE WAYS TO WEAR IT: HAREM PANT

Harem pants are everywhere this Spring and they can be a great piece to wear now or later. For this post we styled them for three different temperatures. 30's, 50's or 70's. The great part is, items from each outfit can be mixed and matched to create your own unique ensemble.

What are your thoughts on harem pants? How would you style them? 

FEBRUARY INSTAGRAM ROUNDUP

Here's a peek into our lives this past month:

(from top, left to right)

Hot yoga has been a great way to stay (really) warm with all the snow.

Pho BC = the best Vietnamese food (pho real).

Paige took a little birthday trip to Nashville and visited Barista Parlor, a really cool
 coffee shop.

Pomegranate tea in a long lost Anthropologie mug.

Cheap little bouquets from Trader Joe's brighten up dreary winter days.

Just a typical Friday night with the crew.

Laine posted the #tbt of all #tbt's (fashion icon in the making).

Nutella-filled homemade poptarts were so delicious and easy to make.

A lot of hazelnut macchiatos were consumed in the making of this blog.
