Big Apple Livin'

Hello everyone, Melina here! I'm sorry that there haven't been any recent posts up. Both Alex and I moved into school this past Saturday and there has just been OH SO MUCH to do! I'm currently living in a dream-like state, still convincing myself that I'm really a fledgling New Yorker. This week has been full of NYU orientation activities, but I've still gotten to explore the Village and Soho quite a bit! One of my proudest moments thus far has been sampling Dominique Ansel Bakery's Cronut. (Short description- the heavenly hybrid of a croissant and a doughnut, long description- click here) Waking up at 4:45am to wait in line was COMPLETELY worth it! Other than living the Cronut life, I've gotten to see quite a few awesome performances, passed some famous faces on the street (Hello Zachary Quinto), and met so many incredible new people! I miss my dear Alexandra so much and wish that she was here with me, but I know she's going to have an incredible year at Valpo! 

Hope all of your school years are off to a fantastic start!

Melina

Alex Goes to Colorado

Hello friends!

A few weeks ago I got back from a family vacation to Colorado, and it was the most beautiful place! We went hiking, white water rafting, and galavanting around Vail... 

I took a million pictures (most of them of flowers, as you can probably tell from the selection above), and I had such a wonderful time with my camera. It's always nice to spend some time away from home in a beautiful place. I also had a lot of family time, which was nice considering that I'll miss them a whole bunch when I leave for school! 

We also stopped in Vail Mountain Coffee and Tea Co. after a dinner, and I unfortunately forgot to bring my camera! It was such a cool place though. My dad's friend used to work for this roaster in Minturn, Colorado, and we stopped in and met him! We chatted for a while and bought some coffee, which was delicious. 

And speaking of delicious, did you see my cupcake? Are you jealous? You should be, it was heavenly! My sister and I ate three cupcakes one day... oops! But that's what vacation is for, right? :)

Here's hoping you've all been having great summer adventures as well!

Hello!

It's August, and every high school graduate knows what that means... move in is just around the corner. While it pains us to think of the day we will have to part, we are both incredibly excited to begin this next ginormous stage in our lives.

But for right now, life is lazy, consisting of lots of food (including mid-day fro-yo, one particularly cheesy pasta, and some classy late night McDonald's ice cream runs) and watching one of our favorite movies, Clueless! And of course, shooting the day's outfits.

Hope everyone is having a lovely summer!

xoxo

Melina & Alex
