Happy Monday Bombshell!
Not going to lie…Monday’s can be the least exciting day of the week but this morning was different! Today Feven received the awesome news she made Top 5 for a chance to win a custom DVF FIAT 500x Crossover after responding to a tweet.
The question posed: “How I became the woman I wanted to be.” It was difficult to explain our journey to Eritrea to America in 140 characters but Feven summed it up beautifly: “From Eritrea to a refugee camp in Sudan, I carry the pride of my people & the strength of my mother. #DVFxFIATcontest.” And it’s true – everything we are we owe to our country and to our family.

As Feven mentioned in her Instagram post:
“It would be remiss of me not to mention my motherland & my mother. even my father would tell you my mother’s strength, sense of pride and self is what fueled our American dream. @dvf represents all of that and it would be a complete honor to ride around #LA as an extension of this incredible brand. with that said, please vote not just for me, but for all the hard-working women out there doing their thing and wearing a dress! (thank you @fiatusa for this opportunity as well.)”
And with that said, we would truly appreciate your vote! So please vote for Feven when you get a chance! Just click the link and in the comments tell how you became the woman you wanted to be!

Happy Friday Bombshell!
Although we love being in Los Angeles, we have to admit the constant sunshine in October is actually starting to get really annoying. We know, it kind of sounds spoiled but for reals…walking outside to 100 degree weather is just weird. We’re Upstate New York girls at heart so naturally fall is our favorite season of the year!
We want to see the leaves change color, we won’t to enjoy our pumpkin spice latte, and we to wear a comfy sweaters with super cute boots! It’s the little things!
Despite the heat in LA, we decided to dress like it is fall and we wanted to share one of our fave fall boots and booties that look good with pretty much anything from skinny jeans, to flirty skirts, to long dresses. To balance out the LA heat we decided to pair them with a skirt since jeans were out of the question that day. The struggle is real.

This skirt is 15-years-old!
When we were 17-years-old, living in Rochester, NY, working as cashiers at Wegmans (the coolest grocery store–ever), in between stressing about SAT scores and college applications…there was prom! To most teenagers, having a date to prom was a must, but to us, having the right look was far more important.
You see, we were the kind of girls (and still are) who preferred casual glamour with an element of surprise. So at 17, we decided that we wanted to do something “cool and modern’ like Gwyneth Paltrow’s 1999 Golden Globe look. And so, in our attempt to have a ‘Gwyneth Paltrow #Twinship moment’, we went out and bought a long, flowy skirt that was way over our “cashier girl” budget and paired it with a tube top from Express. The final result was really an epic Twinship momemt– at least in our minds.
Although we still appreciate Gwyneth, we decided to recycle that exact skirt we bought circa 1999 and we gave it a Carolina Herrera twist! All it took was a simple white shirt from H&M, proving something old can be new again.
Wearing that overpriced skirt 15 years later as “adults” made us really proud of the 17-year-old girls we once were. Unsure, a bit insecure, but who still went for it because, why not?

P.S. Neither one of us had a date to prom that year, our own choice of course. We wanted to dance and laugh with our friends and leave on our own terms!
