Yes we realize Fleet Week has already passed but that does not mean we can not still be inspired to dress in our interpretation of Nautical. We both chose clean looks with pops of red. Trends come and go but it seems year to year Nautical is timeless and we enjoyed accessorizing our looks for such a fun theme. How do you feel about nautical looks/ how do you do it?

Also, as you can see The Two have been separated for summer break. Our photos for the next couple of months will likely be done independently. Really it does not affect anything  but just thought you all should know! 

Hope you all have a superb week.

As always, we love you all!

What We Do

Melissa:
This collection was based on jellyfish aka Cnidaria Scyphozoa Aurelia.  It is a Spring ready-to-wear collection, I was inspired by the whimsey, color, and gracefulness of the jellyfish.  I tried to translate these aspects into the designs and the overall look of my woman.  The mediums are watercolor and Photoshop.

Aubrey: The pictures below are two separate collections, the first being for a contest inspired by New York and the second is a collection inspired by the image of a moth for a sustainable collection. The first collection, Connected, is about the idea of "the dream", this is what a person is trying to connect to when the come to the Big Apple. You, our dear readers, can look forward to more from this collection because I am been made a finalist in an amazing competition for Elle magazine. The mediums are watercolor and Photoshop.

So for months we have been telling you all that we are fashion design students but giving you nothing to back that up. Well finally... Here's proof! We decided to share a few of our drawings from the past year. Hope you like them:)

This Saturday afternoon we had a little school spirit (go FIT!) and attended our schools block party "Cinco de MyFIT". Cheesy, right? However, we love it. Free food, a chance to make our own lip gloss, and hang out with our fashionable peers made for a great afternoon.

How did you all spend your Cinco de Mayo? Hope it was filled with Margaritas and mexican songs such as La Cucaracha! Oh the fun we have dancing and singing along to that.

We wish you all a fantastic week. We love you all!

Recently it was our dear friend Ashley had her birthday which we happily celebrated at Pranna on Madison and 8th Avenue. We enjoyed delicious food and even more delicious mimosas. Hope you enjoy the photos from that day!

It is that time of year again where we hide away from the world to final term projects. Three weeks from now it's summer time though, so wish us luck until then.

Have a lovely week! As always, we love you all!

Triple Threat Part 2: Coffee Break

Aubrey: As a former Barista I know it is difficult to do latte art. The fashionable baristas at the Stumptown Coffee shop not only do it incredibly well but you don't wait ages either. 

Hello lovely readers!
This is the second half of our afternoon out with friends. This place had such beautiful presentation we had to share it with you!

If you live in New York you understand that coffee is a way of life here. The average New Yorker is running a mile a minute all day long and cannot function without their daily jolt of caffeine. Unfortunately we have quickly fallen into the same routine with all our late nights doing school work, which leads us to our latest coffee find! Stumptown coffee, connected to the Ace Hotel on 29th and 5th. If you live in New York we highly recommend this place! Ace Hotel is filled with very fashionable people so it is fun to pass through and check out. Then Stumptown has beautiful lattes, which we did not want to drink at first because we did not want to mess up the pretty picture, when we did though it was so worth it.

Hope you all had a pleasant week!

How to create the perfect post? Throw on something pretty, grab some fashionable friends, go some place you love. It was a sunny, beautiful day and we went over to Central Park for a little.

What's your recipe for the perfect post?

As always, we love you! All of you, have a wonderful week!

Treasure Hunt

 

This was an interesting experience for us, the conversation went something like this,

"This is weird how do we pose together?"

On Melissa:

Sweater-H&M

Button Down-forever 21

On Aubrey:

Sweater- Zara

Shorts, necklace, and cutesy tights- Forever 21

Jacket- Arden B

Flats- Coach

"Let's jump?"

"...why?"

"Let's link arms?"

"NO"

Voice of reason, "let's stand by the Beacon's closet sign, and make awesome faces."

"Hm... yeah that makes more sense."

Successfully or not, we snapped a few photos together the other day in Brooklyn. We were visiting a good friend of ours who showed us her favorite thrift stores and a flea market or two. It had just begun to rain when we shot these, so our friend took a few from under her umbrella which we quickly joined her under. Splashing around Brooklyn to thrift shops with good friends? Successful day.

As always, you make us smile! Hope you are all having a wonderful week.
