Fab Fall Sweater

Fall is an arms lengths away and we cannot wait!

We are tired of the heat and our summer wardrobe. We are so ready for warm tones and cool nights.

Speaking of fall... we came across a must have sweater at the GAP that is perfect for the seasonal transition and can be dressed up or down. GAP's glitter sweater is $39.95 and comes in 4 great neutral colors. We snagged the fall beige :)


This sweater can be worn to work with black pants or out on the town with girlfriends with a great pair of jeans and heels. Don't forget to take a peak at the back view, detailing we love. Click here to learn more.

Living Together for Money: A Growing Trend

According to the U.S. Census, over 7.5 million unmarried couples lived together in 2010. This has been attributed to the recession and the fact that partners in these newly cohabiting relationships are less likely to both hold jobs.


This brings us to the question... should your decision to live together solely be based on love or include the possibility of a financial boost?

We both take unique views on the decision of moving in together. One of us didn't wait very long into a relationship and were cohabiting prior to our engagement and one of us prefers to wait until half way through our engagement.

No one decision is the "right" decision. With so many different schools of thought, what do you think about the issue of cohabiting?

Pointed-Toe Shoes are Back

Say it isn't so... pointed-toe shoes are back!

We have to admit that we are not happy about this trend. We find pointed-toe shoes uncomfortable and stuffy and loved the extra height we got from the hidden platform of round toe pumps.

We first learned about this trend from Elle magazine, but we were hoping it was just something we would read about in magazines or see in high fashion. Apparently not... The red carpet evidence of Lea Michele at the Gleed 3D movie premier, Blake Lively, Fergie and Kim Kardashian at the Teen Choice Awards tell us otherwise. Pointed-toes shoes are back!

What do you think? Do you prefer pointed or round?

Is it Fall yet?


We are so ready for Fall! With the heat and humidity we cannot wait to see some cooler days.

With the Fall season comes warm colors and fabulous new clothes to ohh and ahh over. While we can't touch the clothes at the moment, we can get ready to fall in an easy and inexpensive way - a wonderful nail polish change.

We have stopped sporting our bright summer colors and neutrals and have begun to transition to warm hues. What we are sporting now... Essie's Smokin Hot (pictured below).
