We Likey Wednesday

Girl Crush: Bri Emery

Bri is the mastermind behind Design Love Fest, and is basically a blogging goddess. She has a cute life, she's a design extraordinaire, and her wardrobe is bananas. Need we say more?

 Boy Crush: Ezra Koenig

Ezra is the oh-so-fine frontman of the band, Vampire Weekend, who we saw in concert last night. And at some point in the night, WE SWEAR, he looked over at us and pointed and winked. Or at least we can pretend that happened. We can also pretend we didn't dance like we were on drugs, but that's something you just can't take back. 

Flava of the Week: Enliten Bakery & Cafe

This little bakery located in the heart of Provo is a real gem. Good food, fresh ingredients, cool atmosphere. Nuff said.

top: nords, pants: banana republic, shoes: seychelles, necklace: gift

So... this happened. And maybe we missed the group picture because we were trying on clothes. Don't worry, we may or may not have photobombed at least one of them. 

We mixed and mingled and mingled and mixed. Here we are looking happy and fun with the lovely Bre'an from St8 of Mind

It was love at first awkward 3-way face touch. 

Oh, and best part? Mads won a gift card giveaway! Seriously, we never win anything!!!!!!

But let's be real. The night was alllll about the clothes. Here's some of our recent faves from Gap:

 (fun fact: Lauren used to work at Gap. funner fact: You should too because the employee discount is RIDIC)

Thank you so much to Gap for having us! We had a blast!

We Likey Wedensday

Girl Crush: Elena Tonra

Elena is the lead singer of one of our favorite bands, Daughter.
Last night we got to see their show, and it was amazing!
She has such a big voice, but shy, giggly personality.
5 minutes of seeing her live and you'll have a crush too.

Boy Crush: Leonardo DiCaprio

Good then...

And good now.
P.S. Who else saw The Great Gatsby? Did you like?

Flava of the Week: Toasters

When trekking through the streets of Salt Lake and thinking that you're so hungry that you're stomach is going to eat itself, the heavens will open and you'll find this cool little Deli that hits the spot. Errythang is tasty at Toasters.
 
 We Want: Knuckle Rings

We wanted to resist this trend at first, but we can't deny it any longer! We are especially loving the unique, delicate rings pictured above^^

Tunes: Zee Avi,  "Concrete Wall"

You guys know how we love angsty man-hating songs.
If you guys are looking for a summer-y artist to get addicted to, look no further than Zee Avi.
Her music is chill and happy...most of the time.

Funnies: Ryan Gosling Not Eating Cereal

We're just curious as to who thought of doing this...? And we want to meet you and become your best friend.

Insta Life: Questions

Where have we been? Where are we? What year is it? Who's the president?

While we figure out the answer to the aforementioned life-provoking questions, enjoy our picture dump courtesy of instagram...

Out + About: Floral Maxi // ASOS Giveaway Winner!

skirt, blouse, satchel (similar), jacket, shoes (similar)

shirt (similar), shoes, necklace (similar), bag

When wearing a maxi skirt, there's a two fine lines you have to be careful not to cross...

The first is looking like a frumpy mess, and the other is not to look like a dirty hippie. 

 (Even though maxi skirts are great for when you don't shave your legs-- Which, for us, is more likely than not. Can we get an AMEN!?)

When going out for a night on the town, pair the sweet floral skirt with some spice. A leather jacket and a studded collared blouse gives the whole look an edge. And don't forget to add some fun, colorful pieces like coral booties and a metallic satchel!

When your just chillin' (and still haven't shaved your legs) dress down that skirt with a basic tee and some neutral sandals. And ginormous bags are not only a practical way to hold all your things, but to also channel your inner MK+A.

And the lucky winner of our $50 ASOS Giveaway is...

Katie Slatton

 

Congrats Katie! To claim your prize, email us at awkwardgirls2@gmail.com!

Local Loves: Tessel Supply

We've realized over the past 4 or so years that Provo is kind of a cool place to live. It's a hub of creativity, innovation, and fresh ideas and it seems like everyone here is ridiculously talented (Our talent is going 3 days at a time without showering BTW). Because of this, we wanted to start a new series where we would bring you the freshest of the fresh straight out of P to the R to the O-V-O .

That sounded a lot cooler in our heads

Anyways. Today we wanted to introduce you to Tessel Supply.

Tessel was started by two BYU students with big dreams, and even bigger hearts. Ok, we don't really know anything about the size of their hearts, but we know that they make some pretty cool backpacks. Check out the video to see their story. They have also launched a Kickstarter Campaign recently to help get their bags into production. They reached their goal a few days in to the campaign, but every pledge still counts!

Tessel sent us a prototype of the Jet Pack, and let us just say... dis thing pretty cool. 

It's perfect for the ex-cheerleader-on-the-go....

And the best part is the spacious design allows room for dos... 

So there you have it. Be sure to check out Tessel and see all the cool things they're doing!

xoxo
