Shopping {Madora}

November 28, 2016

When Madora reached out to us to let us experience their shopping app, we were definitely intrigued. It is a new fashion app, and the features are really helpful for us shopaholics!

My favorite part of the app is that you are able to take pictures of items you see when you’re out shopping and the app will search for similar, more affordable options. This is really helpful when you’re shopping but don’t want to pay the high price tag of something trendy you see in the store.

Tee had been looking for some combat boots and used Madora to find something similar.

I have been longgging for a Chloe Drew bag for quite some time. I used the app to find a dupe and I’m in love!

We are definitely fans of the Madora app and the concept is very innovative. They have amazing customer service which is so helpful and it’s so convenient that everything is done on the app itself.

The items we ordered were not the best quality, but you are paying for items at a low price point that are not name brand. If you’re looking for trendy shoe and bag styles that are on the affordable side we recommend giving the app a try.

Download the app here and try it out for yourself!

Jacket OBSESSED

November 23, 2016

Living here in Florida the temps take awhile to drop. We wait around for some cool weather so that we can finally bust out our favorite jackets without sweating by noon.

We’re here to share with you {two} of our absolute favorite jackets this season. They are totally opposite of each other, but are both super versatile and fun!

{Utility Jacket}

Now many of you already have one of these jackets in your closet-but if you don’t you NEED one! They are so incredibly comfy but can be styled a million different ways, dressed down or up.

Tee scored this Michael Stars utility jacket from Marshalls. It looks so cute paired with a graphic T and some skinny jeans!

{Sequin Bomber}

Now I am obsessed with anything sparkly or shiny. Covered in sequins? Yes, please!

I love that this bomber has just an added touch of glam with sequined sleeves. It looks amazing dressed up with heels or just as good with a pair of sneakers!

Comfy Sweaters + Giving Thanks

November 22, 2016

Thanksgiving is a few days away and we could not be more excited to EAT! Well that and of course spend time with those we love and appreciate all the good that we have in our lives.

Because Thanksgiving circulates around food we neeeed to be comfy! I do not need to accentuate any food baby with a tight top or dress.

Our go-tos this holiday are cozy, comfy sweaters. They keep you warm and are still comfy to lounge around in all day.

We’re 99% sure we’re GILMORE GIRLS

November 20, 2016

With the Gilmore Girls revival almost here {yay!!!} we thought we’d share our top 10 favorite episodes.

dsc_0139

Now we are die-hard GG fans and watched it back when it was on the WB, got all the DVD sets {ohhh the days before Netflix} and still watch reruns religiously. So when they announced a revival we pretty much went crazy!

Black Friday this year will definitely be replaced by Gilmore Friday and we can’t wait. We’ll be counting down with our favorite episodes, and of course some pizza, Chinese food, Twizzlers, Mallomars, really any and all junk food.

Here is an amazing recipe for Patty’s Founders Day punch- because is it really a Gilmore Girls party without it?!

SKIN is IN

November 8, 2016

The past year I’ve really started to become invested in taking care of my skin. I’ve always been good about washing my face at night and taking off my makeup, but besides that I really didn’t have a skincare regime.

As I get older I notice little changes in my skin that I’m not fond of. I realized investing in makeup is fun, but if your skin looks unhealthy no makeup will look that great sitting on top of it.

I’ve tried a lot of different product this past year and have been loving what they’ve been doing for my skin! {This post has a lot of what I’ve tried and loved so far}

So when Luminance Skincare contacted me to try out some of their products I was so excited. I thought I’d share with you a quick review of what I tried and what I’m excited to purchase next.

Also they are currently hosting an AMAZING giveaway! 5 winners will win free skincare for a YEAR!! Yessss-an entire year! I mean can you get a better giveaway than that?!

Cheers to 1 Year!

October 31, 2016

Celebrating our 1 year Blogiversary today and asking ourselves “Where did the time go?!”.

img_4682

A year has legitimately flown by and yet we have learned so much during this time. A year ago we were nervous to launch Fashion without the Fortune, not really confident in our blogging skills and continuously asking ourselves “Is anyone even going to read this thing?!”. But we took the plunge, wrote our first post {our guide to shopping Marshalls}, and pressed publish.

And we’re so happy we did!

We have met so many incredible people this past year through this blogging adventure-people from across the world and right in our own backyard. We’ve loved sharing our posts and can’t wait to see what this next year brings for our little blog.

img_4821

So here’s a cheers to affordable fashion, fun travel adventures, and sharing all of it with my sister!

Cheers to 1 year Fashion without the Fortune!

Sweet Little SUNDAY

October 20, 2016

Kat and I just wanted to share with you all simple and fun fall outfit ideas.  We are all super busy with work, errands, family and friends, but we all have one thing in common-we LOVE fashion!

Sometimes you just need an easy outfit to throw on while still staying fashionable!

For my Fall ensemble, I went super casual & comfy by throwing on leggings (which i never really wear haha) and a flannel.

dsc_0700

dsc_0686

Flannels are def my go-to for Fall fashion.  And of course I had to add one of my fav pair of suede, green kicks!

dsc_0693jpg

dsc_0696

Since it isn’t cold enough for a scarf, I decided to go for a baseball cap. The grey really brought out the grey in my flannel and the faux leather brim just added that extra detail!

dsc_0691

dsc_0684

I literally threw this outfit together in 2 minutes and it’s super comfy all while staying within the season’s trend!

dsc_0705

Kat opted for a super cute black dress with polka dots from SHEIN!  It’s nice and easy to just throw on, and so easy to dress it up! Bonus it is under $20!!

dsc_0707

The cutout sleeves add the perfect amount of detail. And it will look so chic with black tights when the weather cools down.

dsc_0712

To add some neutral accessories Kat opted for a nude cross-body and camel colored hat.
