Boho Babes- Bohemian Fall Fashion

m- Part two. Alexa finally made her way back to London last week and I'm certainly having some withdraws with this one over the pond. It's so crazy that the three of us were together a month ago and now we are spread out from Ohio to North Carolina to the great UK. Plum craziness. Good thing we snapped some pitchas prior! Alexa and Dina we're channeling their inner-hippie today and the kids really done good. Sometimes hippie, boho can be translated poorly but these girls have such great taste that this certainly wasn't an option. Alexa and Dina's gorgeous Middle Eastern roots are as colorful and beautiful as their outfits today. 

True beauty, true friendship.

Boho done right, right? These skirts are killer. The rich colors, and heavy draping are to die for. Dina and Alexa compensated for the heavy bottoms with light tops. Perfect compliments. 

This phenomenal top is a vintage piece from Alexa's super fashionable, and ridiculously beautiful, mother's closet. Both Dina and Alexa have RIDICULOUSLY beautiful mothers and clearly they passed down some good genes. There is a glorious flare at the elbow, courtesy of the 70's and I still cant get over how much I love this print....it is definitely a new color combination, and I am all for the pink, black, and asian influence. 

Double beauty. 

These girls know how to accessorize. Glad I got an invite to this arm party. Michael Kors, David Yurman, Evil Eyes, and many more are partying it up. You really can't have too much on your arms. Pile it on. Live a little. You only live once.

We wrapped up the day with some chill time by Alexa's pool. It is crazy how in-tune these best friends are. A wonderful pair. These cool, crisp colors are relaxing and beautiful on these two. 

Red lips are an accessory too. Red lips are bold but...go bold or go home.
With a peak of a feather....I'm sold.

A fun afternoon of fashion with the ladies. 

Because we're obsessed.

School Daze. Pre-Fall Fashion with American Apparel

 m- These puppies were taken a couple of weeks ago and totally got lost in the abyss. But not to fear, Alex and Rhiannon...they are here. It is a rare, but happy day when my sister and I get to see each other between our ridiculously busy schedules, so this week was definitely a special treat. Rhiannon and I made a little road trip from Raleigh to Fayetteville to Wilmington and had a glorious time in town. Since our reunions are rare, we have to squeeze some picture time in. So, we called the super fashionable Alex on over to Courtney's summer estate, most commonly known as "Rogersville," and snapped some pictures in our back-to-school-esque outfits. 

 Fall is just seconds away from exploding out of our closets. It is always a treat to break out the boots and sweaters, scarves and knits and I know everyone is ready for this time of year. In our beach town, the cold air takes just a little bit longer to sweep in, so we satisfy our fall desires via color pallets. Alex and I are wearing vintage deep primaries in corduroy and knit, paired with short boots-both donned with denim. Boots are from Topman and Urban Outfitters. This is a nice transition before jeans and pants dominate the scene. 

 Rhiannon is perfect. I love her choice of prints today. Both of these guys have their bookbags ready to GO. Stylish School-kids. A GREAT break from the college slum of sweatpants and hoodies. 

 This dress was a score from a shopping trip with our grandmother, also known as Boobah. Boobah was a fashionista of her time as you can see from an old F&P post, "Vintage Glam." Boobah picked a good one. LOVE this dress. 

 School Kidz. 

 Last pop of bright color, before the fall pallet comes to town. Rhiannon got this dress from the same shopping trip, courtesy of Boobah. Gold Jeffrey Campbells finish the look and Alex is wearing a lovely pink tank from American Apparel. 

A great day with some great people. School days may be long, but fall is just around the corner.

holy guacamole- fashion in Mexico

c- It's safe to say the last week of my summer was more of a fantasy than reality. And I am beyond ok with that. I was lucky enough to trek across borders all the way to Puerto Vallarta, Mexico with the Marenyi's and our friend Derick. A breathtaking view situated behind an infiniti pool offered one of the most picturesque backdrops...ever.

This is where I found my princess Samantha sporting red lips and killer cat-eye sunglasses. 

We took a break from the daily grind of relaxation to play dress up. It was fun mixing and matching our  pieces- here she is wearing a Susana Monaco tube top for outfit numero uno. This Vintage Sari silk blend two layer magic wrap skirt is something else. I don't know about you, but I love mixing and matching the way I wear certain pieces and this wrap takes that to a whole new level. Not only can it be a skirt OR a dress, you can also tie it up various ways to make it feel like a new piece every time. 

Some different ways to wear a wrap:

 

                   I love photographing Sam..this lady is always ready for her close up. 

I wish we never had to leave.

Princesses of Fashion- Spring Dresses & Spring Colors

m- OK SO. I am hundreds of miles away in rural Ohio right now, saving the world and all that jazz...BUT I cant stop thinking about fashion. I have been thoroughly surprised at the dress in my new mid-west home. ANYWAY with the 14 hour campaign days, courtesy of Barack, it's not surprising that blogging has taken the second seat, after getting our President re-elected...but there is always time for what I love to do. This alllllll being said, Dina and Alexa have been SCREAMING at me via my hard-drive and their beautiful pictures obviously have to go public. Alexa and Dina are my Persian Princesses that I love more than anything. TRULY a complete duo full of talent, drive, and intelligence that outshines their beauty (which is hard to do, as you can see). 

Alexa is soon leaving us for grad school in London and Dina and I are not dealing with this departure well. I had to get some pictures of these two before they took over the world. I mean...how beautiful right? These two are a perfect mix of ethnicities. They are doing Iranians, Venezuelans, and Lebanese justice...SO BEAUTIFUL. Whew. 

 Boots are coming at you quick as fall gets closer and closer. Courtney and I wear boots all year but their prime season is creeping fast! I love how Dina and Alexa added some boots to these colorful dresses. 

 Rain did not stop us from galavanting in the wet fields. 

I LOVE these dresses on Dina and Alexa. Alexa's periwinkle is precious and Dina's turquoise is Spanish in influence and a perfect compliment to Dina's Venezuelan background. 

I'm so lucky to have these women in my life. They are always such a breath of fresh air and I cant wait for many more years of great friendship. More pictures coming your way soon!

Because we're obsessed.
