There are so many photos, places, people and things that are infinitely inspiring. Unfortunately, we can't look through every photo taken or visit every place in the world or meet every cool person. Thankfully, in this modern day and age, social media makes the whole process a lot easier (and cheaper). Thanks to the internet, different online magazines, and other people's blogs, we can feel inspired daily and momentarily. Here are a few of our inspiring pictures and places from this week:
The winged eyeliner look has been a growing fad, from Amy Winehouse to Zooey Deschanel. Some bold, some fierce and some more natural. We've also sported the winged look for a few years now, it's easy enough to wear everyday and it looks as though we put in
a lot of effort in our morning routine. Dont get me wrong, for a first timer it can get frustrating to get them looking even and perfectly pointed, but practice makes perfect! The most important thing is to find the product that works best for you. So we went to Sephora in hunt for a new product. Some of you may have heard of Alexa Chung, she's the "it" girl at the moment and a major fashion inspiration to us. She recently released her own mascara and eye liner so we thought why not give them a try.
The eye liner has a great pointed tip so it makes it really easy to get the shape you want and it's a very deep/dark black which creates a bold wing. The pen glides right on making it quick and easy to apply. The mascara came in a pack, one is black and the other is blue. The midnight blue surprisingly is not so blue, it looks more like a dark navy or even black when applied. The brushes are curved like your lash line so it makes it easy to coat and elongate them and NO CLUMPS! The mascara elongates the lashes and the end result is pretty natural (unless you over apply). So lady's if your looking for a reliable product that gets the job done and is easy to use we would most defiantly recommend the Eyeko Alexa Chung Eye Do Mascara & Liquid Eyeliner Set!

Lets face it, walking into Anthropologie can bring overwhelming feelings of joy for any fashion lover. From the whimsical visual decor and store window displays, to the little trinkets and uniquely designed kitchen ware that made you wish you had your own apartment (well if you dont have one yet anyway), it's the most beautiful store out there. So we decided to stop by our local Anthro because, well I mean why wouldn't you? Of course we couldn't leave empty handed. Us being so obsessed with fashion and all it has to offer, we bought some books on the subject.
One being the Fashion Insiders' Guide New York and another being Coco Chanel an Intimate Life. We can't wait to start reading! And a girl needs accessories right? So we both picked up a pare of studded earrings that could be worn for everyday. Believe us when we say its hard to control yourself at Anthropologie, everything is just so visually attractive. We could have walked out of there with several scented candles, skirts, and clutches, but we didn't. Because were in control! (and broke...).

As we finally break out of this "Polar Vortex" and vacuum pack our puffer coats, we decided to have a celebratory lunch at one of our favorite restaurants in Ridgewood, New Jersey called Raymond's. As we looked through the menu, being as stereotypical as we are, both of our eyes caught the Grilled Chicken Caesar Salad. Yum. Although we're trying to hop on the health train, the couple next to us ordered crispy, crunchy, well we can't really get into it or else we might go back for seconds, we ordered Raymond's specialty fries. To balance this "healthy" choice, we had to order a fruit bowl to make ourselves feel better. Such typical girls. So if you're ever in the area, definitely visit this rustic, vintage and delicious restaurant. Trust us, you won't regret it.
