Ho Ho Ho!

       Eloise and I are so excited for Decemeber! The snow, hot chocolate, cozy sweaters, curling up with a cute man by the fire (well I guess I'll be doing more of that than Eloise!) and of course Christmas! We thought it would be a fun idea to show you all of the great Christmas treasures in Grand Rapids! And what better way to start off the Christmas festivities with a visit to Santa in Breton Village! But before we could make our way to see that jolly old fella, we of course had to stop by Leigh's to see all of the great new stuff they got in! 
       Before we even walked inside we saw the gorgeous window displays Patrick did, clearly he used us as his muses, I was the red naught side, and Eloise was the nice white side! We made our way around the store and saw that they were having the Wolford Trunk Show, I started eagerly going through the racks, when I came across the most amazing houndstooth long sleeved, turtle neck dress that was form fitting, I freaked, and had to try it on immediately, and it fit like a glove. It was then Eloise's turn and she found this perfect mermaid black skirt by Wolford, as well as this adorable red Kate Spade sweater, perfect for the holiday season. So after we found our outfits we made our way down to Bag, Bangle & Bling to find some fun colorful holiday accessories. 
       Because my dress was so graphic I really didn't need much! I found this amazing green emerald ring, as well as this adorable gold watch, that only added the perfect pop of color! Eloise found a great little green snake skin clutch, as well as the fun gold bib necklace! 

My great little accessories!  

Look at Eloise and her fun pops of color! 

A great graphic dress like this is perfect for the holidays! 

Doesn’t she look fabulous!? 

So after we accessorized our outfits, we decided we had to jump in line and wait to see Santa! We were so excited to tell him everything we wanted! I told him I wanted either Brad Pitt or George Clooney (George could be 10 years younger...he has to much gray hair for me) and I think Eloise wanted a new mini van or something! Just Kidding! she asked for this amazing black Armani dress from Leigh's ( hint hint Mr. Eloise!) 

Waiting in line for Santa! 

Aren’t we all just so adorable! 

Santa head over to Leigh's please! 

Santa doing some accessory shopping for Mrs.Claus!  

We had a blast talking to Santa, it put us right into the Christmas sprit! Stay tuned for next week and see where Eloise and I go for some more fun Christmas festivities in Grand Rapids! Happy Holidays, and Hope everyone has a great weekend! 

Bag, Bangle & Bling Grand Opening!

       So  it's pretty obvious that Lola and I love our accessories, I mean anyone can tell that, but the other week when Lola and I were making our daily stop at Leigh's (and yes, I said daily, a girl can never have to much fashion in her life!) But like I was saying, we ran into Rebecca and started talking all things fashion and she told us about this great pop up store that Leigh's was doing right here in Breton Village called Bag, Bangle and Bling! It's a chic, hip fashionable store were finding the perfect accessory is just a bangle away! Whether it's a statement necklace or that perfect little clutch for a night on the town they have everything, at a really fun price point for women of all ages! So of course Lola and I had to go to the Grand Opening yesterday! We made our way to Leigh's to pick out an outfit for the event! Lola found this amazing black My Tribe dress with leather detailing, while I found this adorable Kate Spade navy and white stripped dress and this great Kami cardigan to go over it! So after we picked out our looks we made out way over to Bag, Bangle and Bling for some fun accessory shopping!

Having an fashionable day time look is super easy! Adding some gold to a stripped dress gives you that elegant, yet causal look. While this adorable Betsey Johnson hat and scarf are super cozy for the upcoming winter months! 

       We both decided that we need more day time, as well as night time accessories so we were on a mission to find the perfect little necklace or bracelet that would do the trick! Oh and look who we ran into!

Doesn't Rebecca always look so fabulous!?

       So we had found our day time looks, now we were determined to find a couple accessories for a night on the town! We were so excited to see how many options Bag, Bangle & Bling had! It was so hard for us to narrow it down! But in the end we found exactly what we were looking for! Lola found these two long black and silver chains, as well as this adorable silver cuff! For my nighttime look I layered multiple gold necklaces! It's a really fun technique but remember less is more, so don't add to many because it might make your neck look shorter than it actually is!

Nighttime accessories! 

I thought we should show you an up close look at all of our new accessories from Bag, Bangle & Bling! 

       Until next time ladies, I hope you all have a fun, safe and fashionable weekend! And a special shout out to the Leigh's team for doing an amazing job on Bag, Bangle and Bling!

Kevan Hall Trunk Show!

       Eloise and I are suckers for a good Trunk Show, so when I heard that Kevan Hall, yes thee Kevan Hall was going to be at Leighs I about died. He was on our favorite show "The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills" We just love watching women that are as fabulous as us make fools of themselves! But I'm always like "Hello Bravo!? Come make a "Real Housewives of Grand Rapids" show. I'm sure Eloise and I could handle being the starts along side of Mrs Van Andel and Mrs. Devos! What do you think ladies?! I've decided that I'm calling Bravo tomorrow, my face was made for tv! But anyway, I went and picked Eloise up and we made our way over to the best store in Grand Rapids! For our first looks Eloise found a gorgeous floor length black gown with amazing side detailing on it that just made her look 10 feet tall! While I found the perfect little party dress, that was this fabulous champagne color coverd in sequins!

                       I feel like there should be a red carpet underneath us, not hardwood floors!

       While Eloise and I were playing dress up, we turned around and Kevan Hall was standing right in front of us! Of course we needed a photo with him! He was extremely nice and so talkative! He has been in the industry for 25 years, working in Beverly Hills, New York City, and London! Which isn't hard to believe because his craftsmenship was so amazing!

     I have to say I was a little jealous he was touching Eloise lower back and not mine...Hello! I'm the single one Kevan!

       For our second looks, Eloise and I were looking for more of a day time dress, which Kevan does flawlessly! Some people may think that Kevan only does red carpet looks but oh know! He has the most amazing day time dresses that work for any occasion! We found these two dresses that had the same detailing on it, which was this really cool graphic 3D swirling pattern/material that added great texture to the dresses! Eloise for an all black dress with the gorgeous 3D swirling pattern on the top, while I found this adorable black and white dress with a fun skinny belt around the waist!

Don't we just look amazing!?

       Thank you so much to Kevan Hall for leaving behind the amazing California weather to come visit us at Leigh's! You are so extremely talented and we cannot wait to see you again soon!

Naked Plate Studios!

       Yesterday, I just couldn’t stand how cold it was so I called Lola up and asked her if she wanted to go shopping, and before I could finishing the words “want to go shop...” Lola quickly replied with a yes! So I went and picked her up, and we headed over to Leigh’s for a little cold weather retail therapy, It seemed like a really good excuse to shop! Within the past week, Lola and I were so surprised at how much additional fall and winter merchandise Leigh’s had received.

        We went straight for the cozy cashmeres and adorable sweater dresses. Lola found this adorable candy apple red Tory Burch cardigan with brown trim, paired with brown leggings underneath just added to the whole comfy chic look we were both going for. And remember ladies, if you are wearing any brown or gold paired with a color try and wear brown, instead of black tights, it’s a easy yet fashionable way to look stylist for the fall season! And I found this amazing Le Phare black and grey sweater dress, it was just what I was looking for! Both of us finishing our look with a pair of Cole Haan shoes, we were all ready to hit the town.

        We were walking over to D&W to pick up a few groceries, Lola of course needed to stock up on her weekly Pinot, and I just need a few things, but on our way over we passed this adorable little place called Naked Plate Studios! Lola was obviously intrigued, which I quickly had to remind her that no, naked does not have anything to do with men, and the plate was not referring to food, two of Lola’s favorite things in this world, next to shopping at Leigh’s and white wine. Naked Plate Studios is this fun store where you get to pick out any type of pottery, plates, coffee mugs, tea cups, bowls and you get to paint and decorate them, then they put them in this huge super hot fire and a few days later you get to come back and pick them up and use your beautiful creations!

 It’s so colorful in Naked Plates! We loved it!

                                                    I want to touch! It’s all so cute!

                                      Ughh! The paparazzi just has to follow us everywhere!

        Once Lola and I walked around a bit to check out the place, we each grabbed a piece of pottery and let our create juices flow! Lola painted this adorable little tea cup, which I’m sure is just another cup to fill with wine! I painted this festive plate, that I thought would be great for serving hors d’oeuvres!

                                                   Look how beautiful our pottery is!

                                                  Isn’t Lola a modern day Picasso?!

        Lola and I had such a fun and creative day! Thank you so much to the team at Naked Plate Studios for being so helpful! If you ever want to escape the cold and are feeling a little creative, head over to Naked Plate Studios and paint a plate or two!
