Get the Look: Susan and Andrelie

Meet Susan Y and Andrelie S! We spotted these two BFF's wandering around the NYU campus and could not pass up the opportunity to talk to them about their unique style. Andrelie shared a secret with us - her gorgeous maxi dress was only $6 from Target!  We love the way that she paired the bold print with a simple sweater and casual flat sandals.  Very boho-chic. 

Moral of the story: don't be afraid to be bold! Copy Susan's style by pairing a graphic T-shirt with a solid, feminine skirt and simple sandals. Don't forget the sunglasses to block out those harsh summer rays!  Obsessing over Andrelie's look? Check out your local Target or Walmart for cute, affordable maxi dresses. Loud prints are super fun for the summer months, and you can tone them down with a classic sweater to keep you warm when you transition from the sunny streets to an air conditioned store.

National Girlfriends Day

This Sunday, August 1st, is National Girlfriends Day.  Ladies, you know what that means - grab your girls and celebrate in style! Get together for a delicious brunch at your favorite restaurant to reminisce over the good times and the bad. Celebrate all of the laughs that you have shared, and take time to appreciate the comfort and support that your biffles have offered during the not-so-pleasant times. If your BFF does not live close to you, make sure you take the time out of your day to give them a call and thank them for being such a fabulous friend. Enjoy the holiday, girls!

Friendship Friday!

Welcome back to Friendship Friday!

This week we received a question from a BFF fan that really stood out to us, mainly because we've all experienced a similar situation in the past...

"Whenever I hang out with my best friend, I feel like a third wheel to her and her cell phone. She's constantly texting and checking her email! It makes me feel as those she would rather be spending her time with whoever is on the other end of the phone. What do I do?"

Your initial instinct may be to grab the phone from her hands and throw it out the nearest window, but we highly recommend that you don't take this option.  Instead, address the issue with her!  Let her know in a calm and level-headed manner that you value the time that you spend with her and that it hurts when she cannot give you her full attention. Be careful with your wording- yes, it is rude of her to be texting over the dinner table, but it is not your place to point out her flawed manners.  If she is truly a good friend, she will listen to what you say.  Good luck!

Have you ever experienced a similar situation? Or are you on the other side- are you the habitual texter? We want to hear your thoughts!
