World Map



Hello Girls!
 The other day Angela and I finally finished the world map in our living room wall! Of course we couldn't have finished it without the awesome help of our friend Shinji, who basically drew the whole thing. We just painted it :D.
What do you guys think about our new living room decoration??
Love,
AL

Brights and Neons!


The weather has been too good to us here in Boston. The whole week was warm and sunny. It almost felt like I was back home on vacation.
As you guys know, I've been crazy about neon and bright colors, so I spent the whole week wearing colorful shorts and jewelry.
I decided I didn't have enough neon accessories, so I made a few bracelets for myself. The neon bangle that you see on my right hand is one of them. I think it looks perfect combined with the Alex and Ani golden bangles. 
Hope you guys like the shorts too, I made them about a month ago, but wasn't able to wear them until now! Let me know what you think about them and the bracelet!
How was your weekend by the way? Ours was pretty awesome!


Besos,

Cheers



Hello Girls!
Remember that white dress from this post? well, I decided to wear it as a shirt with these DIY shorts I made :)!! Doesn't it look really cute?
Also, remember the bangles and the leather studded bracelet from the last post??  I am wearing the same ones just that in silver and yellow. I'm obsessed with them!!!! 
The two black bracelets are these very cute pieces that we fell in love on an orthodox website while surfing the net. They are meant to be prayer ropes with 33 knots that signify the 33 years of Christ. Isn't that interesting? 
Thank you for your sweet comments on the last post, I hope you enjoy this one just as much!
Love,
AL

DIY shorts and New Jewelry



Hi girls!

There are so many things I want to say on this post, it's a little overwhelming!

1. This is one of the shorts I made. I have been wanting to show them to you for some weeks, but it's been cold in Boston. Today was warm, and hopefully this week will be too, woohoo! 
I bought a pair of jeans at a thrift store for 1$, cut them into shorts, and then dyed them with a lilac color. LOVED the outcome, and hope you like it too :D

2. I used to use Manic Panic on my hair ends(the pink color on older posts), and changed to Special Effects, and like it so much more. It's lasted way longer than I expected.

3. I wanted to show you the new jewelry we received this week! I love every single piece of it. 
The beautiful golden bangles are from Alex and Ani. They are very elegant yet casual. We found out about this store while walking around in Newbury Street in Boston, we also saw another one in Newport -Rhode Island. If you ever see this store, WALK in and explore it! I assure you will not walk out without wanting to buy the whole store!

4. The orange star studded leather bracelet is from Poshlocket, a very cool website that has edgy/chic jewelry. Their pieces are always modern and girly. They stay on top with fashion! You should also check the website out and if you like my bracelet STAY TUNED, because we will be hosting a giveaway soon ;)!!

I hope you guys liked the shorts and the new jewelry, let us know what you think about everything.


Love you,
AB

I fell in love with the Seaside


Last saturday, Angela and I went to Cape Cod for the first time. I had been wanting to go ever since I moved to Boston, but never got the chance.

I love the sea and how calm and relaxing it is to just stare and the water and let the breeze play with your hair. There really is nothing I love more than going to the seaside.

By the way, we're going to The Kooks' concert in May! yay

besos, 
AB

DIY Half bleached shorts


As you can tell by these pictures, I was super hyper that day. I had just had like 3 cups of black coffee and was ready to go watch a movie (21 Jump Street, have you watched it by the way?). I was supposed to stand still and let my friend take pictures of me so that I could show you guys these half bleached shorts I made. It was almost impossible, and instead, he had to chase me with the camera while I walked and lost focus on what we were really doing...

So, going back to what this post REALLY is about... check out how cute my shorts turned out. I was planning on doing more to them, but really liked how they looked just half bleached and decided to wear them like this for a couple of weeks before I dip dye them. I saw these shorts at a store for a little more than 100$, and made them myself for less than 10$! 

I also made a couple more, can't wait to show you guys. I first wanted to know what you thought about these.

I also got this cute one shoulder bag from Oasap. I had been looking for one like this, black and studded, and was finally able to find it there. Cute huh?

Thank you guys for your sweet sweet comments every day <3 

Love you, 

AB
