On the weekends when we want to stay close to home, we usually end up going into Carmel Valley Village (its only a 3 minute walk away). Our village is jam-packed with things to do in its mile long stretch. We have over 20 wine tasting rooms, and 10 restaurants that range from tapas style food to your good old steak house. We decided to make a quick visit to one of our favorite tasting rooms, Cowgirl Winery. With its rustic decor and outside seating its a great place to sit and sip in the lovely Carmel Valley air. Ivy wore these super cute crop jeans, pairing them with a simple cropped tee.

Korean Beauty: Lip Tattoos, yes you heard us right...

While perusing the universe of Amazon, Eve saw lip tints which claim to last for 12 hours! Naturally, we had to test them out. Oops My Lip Tint Pack by Berrisom are "lip tattoos" or insanely long lasting lip stains. Made in Korea and recommended by pretty much all Korean beauty bloggers and K-Pop stars, they come in candy colored tubes and adorable packaging. Available in 9 colors, the multi-pack features the 6 most popular colors, (Berrisom also makes awesome animal shaped sheet masks which are on our must try list). The lip stains arrived on Easter when all of our family was visiting so we decided to get our cousins J, S, and B in on the testing fun! 

The packaging is in Korean so we had to look up the directions online. We googled directions written in English and basically got the same directions everywhere...

1. Apply a thick layer evenly onto your dry, bare lips. (be precise as you cant really make any changes once its on)

2. Wait about 10 minutes, until the lip tint is dry. The edges may start to peel on their own. 

3. Slowly peel off the lip tint. This will look really creepy. lol.

4. You now have a fabulous lip color that will last all day!

We were skeptical that these colors would be anything we could use daily, but they come out much more subtle than the tubes or gel suggests. Some of them smell a bit weird, and our cousin J thought the "Virgin Red" stung her lips a little when she applied it. 

 Overall, we thought these were awesome!

Once applied and peeled, the lip color is literally weightless and didn't leave your lips feeling dry, sticky, or any of the other undesirable qualities that go along with most long lasting lip colors.

Eve's favorite colors are "Virgin Red", and "Pure Pink", and Ivy's are "Vivid Scarlet", and "Sexy Red". The five of us have different coloring and style, but we all found a color we would wear on the regular.

Sunny and 75

When its sunny and 75 out its hard to keep us inside. With the wildflowers starting to bloom, we decided it would be a perfect day to take a walk. Ivy wore a light denim dress, and paired it simply with her cowboy boots. She buys mens boots because the style is less flashy and has a more traditional feel. Ivy added some turquoise jewelry for flair from our favorite jeweler in Austin, Nevada to finish the look!

We spent a day wine tasting in Carmel Valley Village this past weekend. The weather was beautiful and we enjoyed lazing in the sunshine, sipping on some of our favorite local vino! The Valley is quite casual so you never feel the need to dress up if you don't want to! Ivy kept it cute and casual in her favorite worn-in jeans with a fun new fringe top. I hope you all got to enjoy a bit of sunshine (or create your own) this weekend!

Weekend Wardrobe

Outfit Details:

Ivy:

Shoes Steve Madden | Pants Cabi (sold out) | T- Shirt Madewell | Tartan Cape from House of Edinburgh (no website, similar here) | Purse Francesca's | Necklace Stella & Dot | Ring OhKuol

Eve:

Anika Flats Banana Republic (sold out online) | Jeans Uniqlo | Sweater Zadig & Voltaire | Bag Kate Spade (sold out) | Glasses Chanel | Bag Poms Francesca's | Necklace Stella & Dot | Watch Kate Spade

We had a lot to do this weekend so we woke up early grabbed some lattes for the road and set off. Ivy tends to dress up on the weekends since her day job requires her to get down and dirty....but seriously she manages a native plant nursery. Eve works in a museum and needs to look polished, so she likes to keep it more casual on the weekends. With all this gloomy weather us Californians have been experiencing, we have been drawn back to our cooler weather wardrobes. Ivy wanted to wear her cape she bought in Edinburgh one last time before the weather warmed. While Eve kept it comfy in her favorite cashmere sweater.

Today Eve and I had some errands to run, so we popped into town during a break in the clouds. As it is Sunday, our main outfit goal is comfort. These Uniqlo jeans are so ridiculously comfy I could sleep in them. The adorable cat purse Eve gave me is purrfect to carry the essentials. I usually wear this shirt poolside with some bubbly, (of course), and love how it combines our love of champs and Mean Girls.
