OOTD Alexa // Grunge For The Holidays
This weekend is full of holiday parties! For today's I decided to go a little grunge. I paired this @freepeople plaid skirt with a basic tank that I knotted up. I accessorized with a @threebirdnest necklace and leather jacket from @zarausa. Plaid skirts are a different way to wear plaid in the winter! Xoxo, Alexa
OOTD Alexa // Cozy Up For Winter
It's time to bundle up! Layering is the best for super chilly mornings. I started with a @freepeople thermal top and ripped skinny jeans then packed on the layers! My @forever21 fur lined jacket keeps me toasty, and so do the boot socks. I added a @hm beanie and gloves for extra warmth and an agate necklace for a little more style! Xoxo, Alexa
OOTD Danielle // Cozy Up For Winter
Getting cozy for winter means layering! I wore my tribal print sweater under a green utility style jacket. I love wearing leggings in the winter and layering boot socks with it. And instead of a necklace, I wore my turquoise circle scarf. I mixed a few prints and textures which makes my outfit more interesting. How do you keep warm this winter? Xoxo, Danielle

OOTD Alexa // Sequins
I love my sequin skirt from @target and wanted a more every day way to wear it. I love mixing styles so I paired it with a faux jersey top (also from @target) and some knee socks and boots. I kept the bling going with a @threebirdnest headband and a locket necklace. A sequin skirt is such a fun item to have for dressing up or down all year round! Xoxo, Alexa

OOTD Danielle // Camo Pants
It's fun to wear patterned pants but sometimes a struggle to figure out what to pair with it. I don't own a ton of plain tops, so I chose this white peasant @freepeople shirt (that I got on sale!) to wear with it. Even though it has a pattern on it, it's subtle enough to wear with my camo print pants from @forever21. Plus I love mixing and matching patterns anyways! Xoxo, Danielle
OOTD Alexa // Headed To A Holiday Party
I'm heading to a gingerbread house party today so I wanted to dress up a bit! I love the baggy fit of this @target turtleneck sweater paired with this floral skirt from @charlotterusse. Because it's chilly out I added over the knee boot socks by @threebirdnest and my @veryvolatile boots! Xoxo, Alexa

OOTD Danielle // Just Dressy Enough
Adam graduated from Cal Poly today, so I wanted a dressier outfit that would still be comfortable. I opted for a mint maxi dress, booties, and black blazer. I added a metal necklace to it to keep it fun and funky. Because my dress was so long, I knotted it to keep from tripping. And everything I'm wearing is from Forever 21! Xoxo, Danielle

Our Beauty Product Must Haves!
Danielle's favorite beauty products:
Tata Harper face wash - My face has become very sensitive over the years, and this all natural face wash keeps my skin blemish free. The large expense is worth it for a clear face.
Laura Mercier foundation powder - I like this foundation powder because you can wear a light layer or wear more to keep it long lasting. It also blends well, and doesn't look like you are wearing a lot.
Bobbi Brown gel eyeliner - I've tried so many kinds of eyeliner, and gel is the only kind I like. It lasts all day, doesn't smudge, and I apply it with a brush, so I can easily control the thickness.
GlamGlow Supermud face mask - This mask is a life saver because it gets rid of pimples so quickly.
Laura Mercier long lash mascara - Just like eyeliner, I've tried a lot of different brands of mascara. I love this one because my eyelashes stay soft and never get crunchy or stiff. Yet it' still enough coverage to make people ask me if I'm wearing fake eyelashes when I'm not!
Lancome foundation - I use foundation to help my powder lasting longer on my face. This foundation isn't super heavy and doesn't leave my face feeling oily.
Urban Decay Naked bronzer/blush palette - I like to add a little color to my cheeks, and this palette is great because it has both bronzer and blush all in one. It comes in multiple different shades too.
Too Faced Natural Eye Shadow Collection - This set has great colors that I think can be worn for day or night.
Moroccan Oil shampoo & conditioner - Ever since I had my first Keratin treatment done to my hair 2 years ago, I've been using this shampoo. It's sulfate free, which is great for my hair. It keeps the frizz down and my hair feeling healthy.
Bumble & Bumble straight balm - It's a great product to protect your hair when you blow dry, straighten, and/or curl your hair.
Pravana Super Shape Hair Spray - I love this hairspray for multiple reasons, it barely has a smell, it doesn't leave your hair crunchy at all, yet it holds well.
Covergirl Concealer from Target - I've been using this for years and love it. It goes on smooth and blends well with my foundation while hiding dark circles.
Alexa's favorite beauty products:
Lipstick Crayon - I've never been a lipgloss girl so these lipstick crayons are awesome! The perfect matte color! And super cheap too!
Dior Bronzer - I love wearing bronzer instead of blush, so this Dior one is awesome. It just has a tiny bit of shimmer so you don't end up looking super greasy after wearing all day.
TRESemme Dry Shampoo - dry shampoo is probably my favorite beauty secret! It's great when you just didn't have time to wash! This one smells pretty good too!
Maybelline Foundation - I like a full coverage foundation, and this one does the trick, plus they have a bunch of different shades for when I'm more tan in the summer or more fair in the winter.
Garnier Hairspray - I have super coarse and thick hair so it's pretty unruley. This hairspray holds like glue but doesn't weigh down your hair. Plus it also smells really yummy!
Maybelline Volum Express Mascara - I'm lucky to have pretty long and thick eyelashes but I like them to be exaggerated, so this mascara makes them look extra thick and dark.
Stick Concealer - I love stick/cream concealers because I feel like they stay longer. I get the light ivory color so it doubles as an under eye highlighter too!
Benefit Eyebrow Shaping Kit - I was not blessed with super thick brows so this kit is my savior. I love that it's half gel and half powder. Don't leave home without this!
Sephora Lip Liner - like I said before I've never been a glossy lipstick fan. I use liner as a full lipstick and will cover with just Chapstick sometimes. Plush the deposits brand comes in tons of colors.
NYX Love Eyeshadow Palette - This eyeshadow pallet has the perfect mix of neutral colors, plus some Re shimmery and some are matte so there's lots of variety.
Maybelline Fit Me Powder - The perfect pair to my foundation! This helps me stay matte and not look greasy, while still having full coverage.
