CYBER MONDAY TOP PICKS

NORDSTROM: TOP KICKS

Cyber Monday is where all of our favorite retailers drop their price points and add on the insane sales! My trip down south for Thanksgiving was amazing, it's always so refreshing to visit with the family especially my sisters! Amber and I were incredibly busy with blog work, we were ecstatic to take some photo sessions together. Its always wonderful to catch up with Tiffany, Amber's photographer. She never fails to impress us with her photography skills. Be sure to follow us along on Instagram and check out our photos together. We've put together some of our fave sneakers from Nordstrom, comfort first ladies! 

NIKE 'THEA' SNEAKER

Shop the exact sneakers HERE from Nike (they are under $90!)

Today has been a little difficult for me, Gabrielle is currently en route back to New York, and she's bringing my mom with her! Its so great to get to spend the holidays with her but it is so hard having to say goodbye over and over. I really do wish we got to spend more quality time together, being a twin is very hard especially when your apart because your bond is so incredibly close it almost hurts when they are not with you. I'd love to live in the same city as her, hell - even the same state would be better lol but we both have established careers, friends and family it would be even harder to try and be together at this very moment but who knows what the future has in store. It's been a whole five years since my mom has been able to travel back to New York where she lived for the majority of her life and get to see where Gabrielle has been creating her own new home. Not many readers know this but 11 years ago Gabrielle and I moved to North Carolina from Southampton, New York with my little sister Lucy, step-dad and mom. This was a very hard transition for both of us as we were sophomores in high school having already built deep relationships with close friends but ultimately the move proved that we are strong individuals who were able to create a new home, build new friendships and started a brand-new life here in the beautiful South. 

As all of you know Gabrielle and I live in sneakers year round due to having some chronic pain issues in our feet and legs. So we are definitely your go to girls for the best of the best sneakers & comfortable shoe selections! This may be a bold statement but going through years of these difficult physical issues allows us to seek out the most practical yet comfortable shoes possible. Gabrielle highly recommends the 'Thea' from Nike for anyone looking for an extremely comfortable and supportive sneaker. The fit is close yet there is a great amount of room for your foot to breathe. Not only is this sneaker super comfy but incredibly chic allowing you to style these cool kicks with anything from a LBD to skinnies and an oversized sweater. We hope you all had a lovely Thanksgiving with your families and friends and remember that Cyber Monday is tomorrow so get your credit cards ready ladies - its time to shop!

Good Morning lovelies! Gabrielle is officially in North Carolina, and I am so excited to get to spend time with her and my family over the holidays. Thanksgiving is my absolute favorite holiday. I mean who doesn't love an excuse to eat, drink wine and nap all day long (lol) Tomorrow we are scheduled for another twin shoot, we love taking photos together to showcase our different styles. Also my over the knee boot obsession has not slowed down at all. These black Aldo suede beauties are a closet staple. They are slimming yet slouchy. I love the contrast they bring to my different fall outfits. Also this fun gingham blouse is not only super affordable - under $20 but very chic and comfortable. I honestly never thought to wear gingham in fall but this black and white version of the trend is so chic when paired with deep indigo denim and luxe suede boots. Its an outfit I will put on repeat all season long. How do you guys feel about this look - What else would you like to see my over the knee boots paired with? Shop some of my favorite other versions of the trend below! Happy Thankgiving to you all and your loved ones!

FYI - Gabrielle and I suggest heading over to our Instagram page @thetwincrowd because we are doing a $1200 CASH giveaway loop - please go check it out on our social media page! Good luck!

I am so excited to say that Gabrielle will be in North Carolina in less than a week, today marks the five day countdown. Is anybody else as excited about Thanksgiving as we are? Thanksgiving Is most definitely Gabrielle and I's favorite holiday, who doesn't love a day that includes endless meals, spending time with family and wine - lots of wine.  This blazer from J.Crew is an absolute must to complete your fall wardrobe. For those outfits that need just a bit more polish try adding a chic structured blazer. This is an easy way to accomplish a laid back yet sophisticated look.  For Amber's effortless outfit she threw on a wool blazer from J.Crew over casually distressed denim and finished off the look with sleek leather booties from Steve Madden.  I also added this sweet peplum blouse from Banana Republic at the last minute to create some feminine flair to this otherwise tough look. I purchased this blazer last year, and even though it's sold out in this exact silhouette I found several that are very similar. Make sure you check them out - they're all linked below.

Being an esthetician it's always hard to find affordable makeup and skincare that's also quality made. Our Spotlight this Wednesday is on E.LF.

Leaving us with amped up moisture and plump healthy faces. Amber and I are not out spending tons on beauty products but we do enjoy having quality makeup and accessories.

My hair got longer with Irresistible Me

 

   It's a start to s brand new week and I have to admit were not ready at all! It's been an incredibly busy time in both of our lives between my move in date last week and Gabrielle taking on some more days at work, it's been hard getting an organized schedule on track! We are more than open to some organazational tips!

  Back to today's style post were working with Irresistable Me hair exstentions. Gabrielle and I havn't had much exsperience with exstentions before but I have to admit their amazing and suprisingly super easy to attach in the hair. I can add a lot of volume and length with a simple click. Also The brand employees were so helpful when we were trying to match up my color. My hair is currently a mix of different shades from blonde to medium brown and these are a perfect match! Loved these for date night this week, just to switch up my look and they made my hair on Halloween perfectly spooky to go along with my vampire costume.

My hair got longer with Irresistible Me

Happy hump-day everybody! Gabrielle and I are super excited because we are going to be reunited once again, she will be here the last week in November to celebrate Thanksgiving with my family and I.  This means more #twinning photoshoot's, endless laughs and having my best friend by my side.  Being a twin is unlike anything else, experiencing the same thoughts, feelings and emotions as another person allows you to connect on the deepest level. It's very hard being away  her but I feel as though we have grown stronger and created a healthy relationship that is beneficial to us all. Space is always a good thing because it allows you to realize how much  another person means to you and eventually brings you closer together.  I'm not gonna lie there's been a few times that I feel our relationship has been borderline too close, it's very easy to get caught up in one another's lives so I feel that the move was one of the best decisions we both could have made.  

But enough about us, I know you're here for the fashion! Let's talk about this blouse shall we, unfortunately it is sold out but we have linked many similar versions that are all just as fabulous.  This top comes from one of our favorite online shops for fast fashion, Sammydress. This website is filled with the latest trends at very affordable prices. We love Sammydress not only because of the prices, but the quality of the clothing too. Everything I have ordered from here so far has fit me perfectly and made extremely well, the fabrics are very durable unlike some other fast fashion websites. You can trust that what you're looking at on the site is exactly what you're going to receive!  We paired the blouse with a chic wool blazer from J.Crew, distressed skinny denim and sleek black booties. Topping off the look with a dusty blue saddlebag and fun pom-pom charm.  

We hope you guys enjoy this look, it is definitely one of our favorites for the fall season. It is easy to re-create so be sure to comment below for any style advice or questions, we'd love to chat!
