It has been a while since we posted style posts, we regularly update you with our daily wear on our instagram account but left this special post on a monthly basis. For today, we decided to just face reality and surrender to our love for stripes, We guess we take that from our beloved mother who’s closet has a never ending story of different striped pieces that ranges from skirts, to blouses, shirts and even night wear. We owe this obsession to our mother ’thanks mom!’

We have been doing some serious cleaning over the past three days, wardrobe cleaning is always a major headache don't you all think? one of us ends up hyperventilating when such instances occur! Major catching up with friends were also in the cards this weekend, its a cherry on top of a delicious sundae when we get to see smiles and hear laughter for hours! 

P.S Thank you Shafafy for the gorgeous bags! we love them and are ready for the summer! 

Hope you all are enjoying what is left of the weekend!

Song of the day: I dive into frozen waves where the past comes back to life, Fight fear for the selfish pain, it was worth it every time, hold still right before we crash 'cause we both know how this ends, A clock ticks 'til it breaks your glass and I drown in you again 

It was a flashback to the 80s with a fresh spin-off for one of us on April 25th as another great event popped up on our schedule, this time going all out with Marc by Marc Jacobs as they launched their new Spring collection.

The whole event was literally one big pop of confetti. They had revamped the whole Marc by Marc Jacobs boutique retro, showering us with an explosion of neon and colors everywhere! if there’s anyone who could knock out our inner '80’s cool kid on the block' hidden somewhere in this time, it’s gotta be the one and only .. Marc.

With a room filled with interesting personalities, a graffiti wall for us to mark our names on - which we got so psyched about -, getting to create our own little pins and badges, the roller blades, the mini burgers and mini canned cokes, the old school music that pumped the party up and not to mention, the collection that was all bright and youthful to begin with! The 80’s vibe was all out that day and completely left us falling head over heels backwards with time.  

Song of the day: And we danced, and we cried and we laughed and had a really really really good time, Take my hand, let's have a blast and remember this moment for the rest of our lives

A few weeks back, one half of the sandbox decided it was time to escape the desert and go to a rather tropical island and enjoy the greenery that we so long to see. It was a refreshing mini-escape away from all the bundles life offers from work and studies.

During the trip an out of town getaway sounded like a perfect idea. A small bed and breakfast called Sonya's Garden offering nothing but a vast garden of all the flowers you can possibly think of and spaces of organic green houses. A great retreat that enabled us to go back to nature!

We were aw-struck by what has been offered, Vintage looking cottages with nothing but the best antique furniture from across the globe. The owner believed that one must go back to nature which is why the cottages were not air conditioned with wide open windows to wake up to the rays of sun and the sounds of chirping birds along with the smell of greenery that spread across the gardens, it was a very zen atmosphere and we dined with nothing but the best china in town and ate bread and vegetables that grew outta the gardens itself, very organic!

Thinking back, all we can remember were flowers, flowers and more flowers! The tea cups and silverware was something to remember as well. All the cutlers and china were the owners personal collectables from trips to Europe and Asia, a belief that one must use everything owned and not just during special occasions. This got us ordering more to see the mismatch of wondrous collections of tea cups and pots owned! We loved it!

We both went to the same bed and breakfast at different times, our views and love for the place matched perfectly and can't wait to go back together with friends!
