From the Beach to the Street

- Fashion

Most of us were dreaming of an endless summer, but darlings, those days are coming to an end.  This swim season was all about off the shoulder bikinis and high-legged one pieces and now that the season is ending you’re ready to trade in your suits for scarves.  But you don’t have to! We took this one swimsuit and styled it in two different ways.  This is the Good Times suit from CHRLDR.  It’s cut high in the front and low…

Linen Lovers

- Collaborators, Fashion

Let’s all be honest, linen is a dream fabric.  It’s so lightweight keeps you cool in the warm weather (I mean, will this heat wave ever end?!) and it’s chic for layering when the Fall decides to grace us with it’s presence… seriously… any day now Fall… There are several brands that have linen pieces in their collection but the selection of linen at CHRLDR is just beyond.  There are basic tanks and tees in their Noir collection and they…

Mule for the Summer

- Fashion

Current obsession: Mules I mean, am I right??  This backless style shoe is trending for the summer and I’m loving it.  They can be dressed up or down and can either be flat or have a sky-high heel.  How easy to just slip on a pair of stylish shoes and go.   I’m not a big fan of Forever 21 shoes.  Actually, I think they suck.  But I found these pointed toe leather mules and thought, ok, they don’t need…

Daytime Smokey

- Beauty

I took my everyday makeup look and played up my eyes for a look that can transition easily from day to night.  Here’s the details and brands that I used for this look! I prefer to use a dark brown shadow to fill in my eyebrows.  Chelsea and I use different types of makeup and tools to do our brows.  What do you all think about a how-to showing our different techniques?  I used the Urban Decay shadow in “Faint”…

3 Reasons to Ditch the Fedora

- Fashion

Hats are such a great accessory for anytime of the year but especially summer.  They keep the sun off of your face and with this season’s wider brims, off of your shoulders too.  They hide humid-induced frizz and can really top off an outfit, pun 100% intended.   But ladies, the short-brimmed fedora… It’s still okay for men but for us, ditch it.  It was cute in 2014 but since then it has been replaced with SO many better choices for…

ColourPop Cosmetics

- Beauty

I think I speak for all of us when I say online shopping is amazing, except when it comes down to color matching makeup. You might be looking through the screen and think you’ve found your go-to new lip shade, but when the package arrives to your house, the color was just not what you envisioned. I found myself having this issue with ColourPop’s lip colors (and frankly all online makeup stores). While the prices are great, you often times…

Ready, Set, Blog Post

- Lifestyle

Running has always been my go-to for fitness.  It’s such a great way to tune out the world and your thoughts and just focus on the sound of your heartbeat, your feet on the pavement, and an upbeat playlist.  When you run you’re giving your whole body a workout.  Normally I run with weighted bands on my ankles but there are ways to add onto your run to give it an extra boost without any equipment at all.  Of course,…

Oops! … I Patched it Again

- Fashion

Before I start this post, let me add two disclaimers: 1. I hope you read that in a Britney Spears voice. 2. If you didn’t, patches are too young for you bro… The countdown had begun on our blog launch and Nicole and I were trying to come up with an ideal and trendy way to show off our name TheDistrictDarlings.  We were drawn to the 90s trend and were all about oversized patched denim jackets.  Creating our own would be the perfect…

Detoxing Darlings

- Lifestyle

I love drinking detox water, especially in the warmer months.  It keeps me hydrated while I’m traveling, gives me energy throughout the day, and it’s a healthier alternative to soft drinks and other sugary beverages.  Plus, they’re always Instagram-worthy. These are my 3 favorite detox waters, which I’ll usually switch throughout the week, and none of them require much prep.  Just drop the ingredients in your water, let it infuse overnight, and take it with you to work the next day!  The…

Aging in Reverse

- Beauty

I turned 30 this year and like most women, I was determined to not let it show on my skin.  Since college I’ve used a litany of moisturizers, eye creams, cleansers, and even treatments on my skin to keep it looking like, well, like I was still in college.  Just in the last year or two, I have to say, my skin looks better now than it did when I was in my 20s and I’m excited to share my nightly routine with you! [Let me…
