A Fashion Icon

"Simplicity is the keynote of all true elegance." -Coco Chanel
The first style icon that came to my mind after reading this was of course Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis. The minute Jackie O. took her position as the First Lady she became the classic American Fashion icon. She changed American fashion forever by introducing a look that was crisp, clean, simple, and young.
Jackie truly understood the real essences of fashion and helped women understand that you didn't have to look overseas to find fashions that were elegant and chic. I mean really where would the fashion world be today without the A-line dress and pillbox hats?

Jackie always knew exactly what she wanted. Her style was precise; she was bold and confident.

I think this is the kind of women we should be. Confident in who we are, bold in making decisions, and a leader to others. And of course not afraid to take a few fashion risk, because where would we be today in fashion if Jackie didn't take the same risk?

Just Play

Innocently dancing and singing around in the kitchen to Taylor Swift and Hannah Montana, while using our spoons as microphones, and taking turns stirring what we all secretly hoped would turn out to be a good bowl of mac and cheese. I realized.....Why can't life always be like this? i mean why not?

The Two little girls i babysit make fun out of anything! we go exploring and find hidden tree houses, we leave our names inscribed in the tree so that when we come back we know we have been there before, we cook every meal and don't worry about the huge mess until we are finished eating the whole meal, we go on the Internet and email boys and sit around for their one word responses and giggle cause they finally noticed us now, we go to the pool when it's raining just so we can order ice cream, and last we run back to our car the long way just so we can play in the rain.


Through theses girls God has reminded me the little joys in life, to take my time and enjoy things around me, to not hold back any of my feelings and when all else fails Smile!

Express yourself

One of my favorite things to do is paint, and i know morgan is always there for me when i want to do so! We always help each other to become more creative!
Here's Morgan's finished painting. i am in love with it and it looks perfect in her room! She has a true talent! This is only one of many paintings and crafts we have done together. We are always coming up with new creative ways to pass time and spend time together and caught up.
This one is mine, didnt really know what i was going for but me and morgan were trying to create some abstract art, didnt turn out to abstract but it was still fun to do!

Sisters!


Being a twin has been God greatest gift to me in life! For me Ainsley is my best friend, a partner in crime, someone you can always count on and best of all a college roommate; i mean really who could ask for more?
This year we have really learned to count on one another, if it was a late night ride or just being their for each other when different forms of "Love" were thrown our way. Having a sister around has been the greatest blessing in the world! Now that Freshmen year is under our belt i think we will take a few more risk, laugh a lot more, share new memories, go out more with our new best friends, and wont hold back in being ourselves! Because we are now more than ever confident in the fact that we have each others back (not that we didnt before, its just a little different being away from home and on our own) and knowing we will always have someone to go to; a best friend and sister!
