#NoChella

#NoChella - AKA we weren’t THAAAT lucky to prance around in a field, drunk, wearing our favorite sunnies and call it the musical festival of the year. Coachella is more the fashion/pool party weekend of the year, if we’re honest. Sure, the lineup is amaze (Lorde, drool) but really more than half of So Cal’s finest attend Coachella to get their first tan of the year, drink beer by the pool and dawn their most recent boho chic finds. We sound a little bitter, but that’s because we’re not there. 

Instead of attending one of the most talked about festivals, we went and got freaky with nature, wearing our favorite Free People X Jeffrey Campbell booties, and trusted Levi Denim shorts. We can’t complain about how our Saturday turned out - not every one can drive 10 minutes and be in pure bliss. Surrounded by nature, seconds away from the beach and in pure silence, BLISS. 

If you want to pretend that you got down in Indio, too - you can. Boho chic is not JUST for Chella, rock that shit.

Ali | Bitch Don't Kill My Vibe

Props to my girl Katie Skolas for taking such amazing pictures for me! For this look I wanted to try something a little different and edgier. I had a new pair of EFxJM cat ears and new Mac lipstick (cyber) that I was dying to put into one look. Since I generally just don't like wearing clothes...not lying....I decided to pair this with some American Apparel boyshorts and a Brandy Melville "Bitch don't kill my vibe" cropped tee. 

We have more pictures to share from this shoot coming soon so stay tuned!

Sexed Up Boyfriend | Hillary

Everyone loves boyfriend-esque clothing - it's comfortable, looks great and can easily transform an everyday look, to an insanely sexy look. This is why my Elizabeth and James button up is one of my favorite go-to pieces. I throw it on with simple skinnies and classic pumps and I am good-to-go. I'm the biggest fan of minimal effort fashion, so you will find me constantly wearing boyfriend style button-ups, jeans and hoodies. 

If you want to look sexy with minimal effort, you can grab these basics here:

This post is to support a very dear friend of ours and the launch of her clothing line called LoVeLezZ. Her and her boyfriend put together the most awesomely edgy pieces and I just had to wear this jacket for one of our blog posts. This is a white leather jacket that they got from a second hand shop. They covered it in studs and spikes and then painted all over it. I chose to pair this with high waisted distressed Levi's shorts, thigh high socks (of course) and my Jeffrey Campbell booties.

Beauty and The Goth

Typically, we shoot for the blog separately. Sure, we work together, and spend most of our weekends together - but, when shooting for the blog our schedules never click, and we're left posing solo. 

So, today when we had the opportunity to shoot together, it was more than fun! I (Hillary) don't normally wear dresses (even in the summer.) But, when I received these ShoeMint booties, I knew that they needed to be paired with a flirty dress. And with the New Year New You mentality, it  motivated me to do a cleaning haul on my closet, this resulting in me finding this hidden gem that I hadn't worn in forever! 

Ali and I's style(s) are completely different, but that doesn't mean I don't sit at my desk all day at work and covet her latest wardrobe additions. Not only do I have closet-envy, but I have complexion-envy as well. I would die to be able to pull off a deep purple/red lip like she does! Ali killed it in her boho-goth-esque number today! Her maxi being from IntiMint.com and her dope kimono being vintage (die!) 

If you'd like to look effortlessly chic, you can grab similar styles here:
