First Week Fits.

#FirstWeekFits

It's September! The month where we welcome fall and it's new trends, darker lips, and everyone's favourite thing, school. We thought we'd share some of our #firstweekfits before we start wearing sweat pants, and hoodies for the rest of the year.

J's only at school 3/5 days of the week that's why there's only 3 pairs of outfits and none of them were coordinated at all (even though, in the first pair of pictures we're matching flannels 😂).

Neither of us have been super fashionable but we have always been interested in that realm of art and are both starting to experiment and discover our own styles. We've taken a liking to documenting our fits because it gives us the opportunity to build on our personal taste. Seeing others sharing their love for fashion is what inspired us to actually try and put outfits together this week, hopefully we can continue with this for the rest of the year (but tbh we just love wearing sweats so no promises) LOL.

What year are you guys going into and what are some of your favourite fall accessories? We'd love to know so leave a comment below!

We hope you guys have a great school year and wish y'all the best of luck :)

#FutureNowTourWinnipeg

Hi friends, this time it's K! I'm having major concert withdrawals right now, and it's only been 2 days. But no one understands what this concert meant to me, only because I finally got to live out my 12 year old dreams of seeing Nick Jonas and Demi Lovato (but specifically Nick, the love of my life).

J and I were huge fans of the Jonas Brothers. So big of a fan, we were the type to spend hours on the computer following their tweets by the minute, buying all the J-14 and Twist magazines, arguing with people over the Niley/Nelena feuds (#teamnelena), and reading/critiquing all the fan fics possibly written on YouTube. Unfortunately, J couldn't come along for the experience but I did go with some pretty amazing people and had such an amazing time.

The Jonas Brothers came to town a few years ago, when they were still a group. Sadly, my parents would never buy me tickets because they thought concerts were a waste of money. So going to the concert seemed so out of reach. They never came back after and then boom, they announced their break up. Welp, there goes my chances of ever seeing them right? WRONG! When I got the email saying Nick and Demi were coming, I was on top of that. A group of my friends gathered together, bought tickets within the same week, and we were set for August 29, which was in a few months.

Fast forward to the concert, aka my wedding day. The show started out with Mike Posner as the opening act. I wasn't too familiar with his music, other than his mainstream radio songs which he did play. He was cool. Super unique, but really cool. After he performed, there was a waiting period and then the timer went on the screen. "10, 9, 8, 7, ........ 3, 2, 1" and then Nick Jonas appeared. The set order was Nick, Demi, together, Nick, Demi.

Nick played most of his songs from his Last Year Was Complicated album, but not all. He wasn't as interactive as I thought he would be, but that's understandable because he did perform at the VMA'S the night before, Nonetheless, I still love him and he still did play my favourite song, "Chainsaw" so I forgive him. Plus, it was a joy because I knew every song he performed, haha. Demi on the other hand, is an amazing vocalist. Her runs were out of this world, and her voice is so full, and you're just left in awe when she sings anything. Also, she's super hot with her thunder thighs and beautiful face! They both are amazing and sound exactly like they do on the radio, pure and raw talent.

The whole show was beautiful, the stage production was simple and not too flashy, which left the whole show to be based on their vocals. Anyone who says they aren't talented, hasn't seen them live. The light show was amazing, and the visuals on the screen were so creatively enticing.

Pullin' it all together, that night is a night i'll remember forever and hold deep in my heart because i believe i'm married to Nick Jonas now, hahaha.

*please take a look at my pictures and short video compilation of snaps from me and my friend Arabella*

Best Friend Tag!

#BestFriendTag

Get to know us with this best friend tag!

We apologize for the crappy quality of the video. Unfortunately, our camera doesn't shoot well in the dark and it didn't help that we were in the car so the lighting varies throughout. It does get a little bit

(just kidding, a lot a bit haha) indistinguishable as a visual, but you could still hear us and the questions are visually seen as text anyways. We guess we could have filmed this another time, but we'll save that for another day and another video. Possibly another type of best friend tag video in the future to compensate?

We really wanted to put something out where the both of us are introduced for the first time, so the best friend tag seemed extremely fitting.

If you guys had any more questions for us, make sure you leave a comment below and we'll do our best to answer!

#LA2016

What's goooood, it's J. This past week I had the amazing opportunity of visiting Los Angeles, CA. The experience was nothing short of extraordinary and I'd like to take the time to share some highlights with you.

Prior to this I had competed with my wonderrrrful dance team (Sikat) at World of Dance in Orlando, FL.
We were fortunate enough to place third and luckily our set had received recognition which lead us to being invited to compete on the World of Dance Finals stage in Pasadena. We had the pleasure of sharing the stage with some of the world's best dance teams, and it was definitely the most humbling experience I've ever had in my life.

Alongside preparation for the competition, we did get the chance to explore and LEMME TELL YA there was way too much to do in California with the little time I spent there. Our days were always packed with either practice, sight seeing, or shopping. Every single part of California is beautiful, palm trees everywhere, clear skies on the daily, and there was a McDonald's within walking distance from where we were staying (the most beautiful part). There were so many places to eat, but one in particular stood out to me: Shake Shack. I have never felt an emotional connection to a burger before eating at shake shack it was incredible LOL.

Through out the rest of the week we visited some cool places aka the Hollywood sign, LACMA, and the Hollywood Walk of Fame. We also got the chance to practice at Snowglobe which was pretty intense considering some of the most talented dancers hold classes in that space. I would definitely revisit if I ever get the chance to.

All in all I would have to say that this trip was one for the books and I'm so glad I got to share the experience with some of my greatest friends.
