"Whoever said orange was the new pink was seriously disturbed!"

Hello again!!  Welcome to day two of our blog and what a day its been!!  We have done a bit of reconstructing on our page that we think you will enjoy! On that note...LIKE US ON FACEBOOK AND FOLLOW OUR BLOG!!!! Also read our about us to learn a little more...about us (hehe).

So our day started off (like most days) with our outfit choices.  We decided that in honor of our blog we would wear pink!!  Armed with a pink cardigan and string of pearls we went on to French class where we were asked en français to model our outfits.  Without hesitation we shared our style with anyone who would listen!  The rest of the day was spent in and out of classes and doing homework and such until we made a trip into town for Pinkberry!! The fro-yo of choice was pomegranate with strawberries and chocolate chips (HIGHLY RECOMMENDED) <33 Then we ended up back in our dorm to blog and watch Julie and Julia and Legally Blonde (hence the title of this post).  As you can see we have had a pretty eventful day :)

So our FASHION FIXATION du jour is sunglasses!!!  Since today was the first hint of sun in quite a long while we decided to spend some much needed quality time with our shades.  We donned our Ray-Ban aviators and Marc by Marc Jacobs black sunnies and ventured outside.  Finding your perfect pair of shades can be hard work (but well worth it) so here are some tips:

Things to Consider When Searching for Sunnies
1. Face Shape- make sure your glasses flatter your face.  An oversized pair could swallow a small face while complementing a fuller face.  Some commonly flattering shapes are the classic wayfarer or a simple large rectangular frame.
2. Lens Color- black is always flattering and disguises the eye so when you're feeling a little mysterious or you just forgot your make-up that morning black is a great choice.  We also like dark grey or brown.
3. Frame Color-  when it comes to this focus on black, brown, tortoise, metal(for aviators) or a fun and funky color.  Depending on the style of frames the color can be a deal-breaker.
4. Utility-  if you're having a relaxing day an awesome pair of Ray-Bans or Marc by Marc Jacobs are always a hit.  But if you are doing something active a cheaper pair is probably a better option.  Some great stores for cheap but cute glasses are H&M, Forever 21 and Target.

Hope you enjoy our advice for picking out some great shades for spring and summer!
Stay Flawless and Fabulous!
Love,
Lyndsey and Jenn
