M A I L L O T

At the beginning of every year, one the first purchases I make is my swimsuits for the upcoming season! 

I ALWAYS order my swimmies in January & February. Once Feb./March hits, all the good ones are GONE! For instance, last year I purchased a monokini in January, (Picture attached below) and it was sold out 1 week after I ordered it! (Which is a shame because it's just DARLING!) 

So take this small piece of advice; Shop for your summer sunner now! (and work on your body later.) Jk. (; But really doe. 

Above are all of my favorite suits on the market right now! I'm really crushing on Marysias scalloped suits & Becca swims onesies! (I have two suits from each line and they're honestly the best.) I purchased mine from Everything But Water & I love their selection! They carry the best of the best. Truly a one stop swim shop! 

Hoping this post brings you all sunshine, a vacay, a rockin bod, and of course a new suit! Thanks for stopping by loves! xx

Hey Loves <3 

First off, I apologize for being MIA last week. Thank you all again for your love and support with the passing of my Dad. Your kindness has made a huge difference. <3 I seriously love you all. 

Next on the list, where my CAPRICORNS at?! <3 I just found my new favorite tee and I think everyone needs it! It's an embroidered zodiac sign tee, and tbh I kind of want one in every sign for each month.. (I'm a Capricorn though, so obviously I repped my sign first! + Capricorns always start off the year!) Not only is the "embroidered tee" currently trending, but so are zodiac/astrology signs! Everyone. Go get your sign on. You can find these babies at Project Social T! (And if you're digging the embroidered tee trend, go shop my favorites below! There are 3 that I ordered today, but I really want them all!) 

Lastly, I just struck gold in the biker jacket department! I'm always on the hunt for a good biker jacket that's high quality, looks amazing, and is affordable. As many of you know, I'm in love with All Saints jackets, but I can't justify splurging $800.00 on one thing.. (Plus Chase would literally kill me!) I found this suede biker from Vici Collection (Vici Dolls) and it's my new go to/current favorite jacket! It has everything I've been looking for in a jacket and it's price is on point! <3 It's definitely a steal! And GUESS WHAT?! It keeps getting better! Vici is offering all of my readers 20% OFF their purchase up until midnight! So take advantage Cinderella, & enter code BRIT20 at checkout! xx

Hope you all have a wonderful week! <3 Thanks for stopping by! xx

I'm absolutely smitten with the velvet trend going on right now. <3 I used to be a little hesitant to pair velvet w/ velvet, but after wearing this number I think I'm going to pair it all the time now! 10/10 would reccomend hoping on the velv train!

We are often asked how we style ourselves to "match" eachother! When people ask us this we honestly don't know how to answer!.. We don't plan to match on purpose. Our styles & tastes are one in the same! We did however figure out what it is that keeps our outfits aligned! 

We both prefer simple, neutral items. Like this look above! We both avoid color, bling, and anything with too much print or detail! (Of course this isn't always the case, but we'd say it is 90% of the time!) 

The main reason we stick to the simple neutrals is because it looks classy & it's easy to dress up or down! (The way you accessorize your neutral outfit makes a huge difference on the vibe your outfit gives off!) For example, adding a hat & sneakers will make the outfit look more casual, while adding heels and a vest will dress it up! 

There are a few places we like to get our neutral pieces from. We both like Nordstrom and J Crew! And on a VERY affordable end we love Pacsun for Chase & Bella Ella for Brit! (This is where our tops/many outfits on our blog are from!) If you need to revamp your closet (or want to redo your wardrobe) the best bang for your buck is Pacsun for the Fellas & Bella Ella for the ladies! xx

Hey loves! Since Christmas + New Years are right around the corner, I wanted to share my favorite hair products with you that help me save time, money, and make my hair look amazing! 

When my hair needs a boost, or if I'm in a hurry, I always grab my Fromm Beauty brushes! The hot paddle brush makes my hair dry faster, the thermal round brush gives my hair TONS of volume, and the glosser paddle brush adds crazy gorgeous shine to my locks!

These brushes not only save me styling time, but salon time too! (And money!) Since I've had these babies, I have skipped the salon a few months at a time! (Which I NEVER used to do! I'm usually in every month!) 

I'm beyond in love with these brushes.. I just think it's so cool that they have been created with serums, growth stimulants, and heat retaining technology. Tbh; every brush needs to be at this level, it simplifies life!  (Plus they're on sale over at Ulta so now we're all in love.) (; <3 

Shop my Fromm brushes & all my favorite hair products below! (Like my T3 wand! It takes me 2 minuets or less to wave my hair with this wand!) xx

Zara is one of our facorite places to shop! We love all the different styles they offer, how unique their pieces are, and most of all, their price! (It varries, but it's amazing!) 

If you're purchasing something from Zara for Christmas, Monday is the last day to order! (But they're offering free shipping TODAY only!l, so I'd hop on that!) xx

When the snow begins to fall, I immediately bust out my sweaters! To me, nothing beats a warm, cozy, cashmere sweater. <3 

I used keep tabs on my favorite cashmere items and wait until they'd go on sale to purchase.. That is until I found Naked Cashmere! Naked Cashmere is a pure cashmere shop without the retail markup! So this sweater above would originally go for $500.00, and I snagged it for just $225.00! 

If you have a cashmere obsession like I do, you need to check out Naked Cashmeres incredible line! <3

GOOD MARNIN' PPL! <3  

This post is for all of you SLACKERS who are still in need of getting some gifts!  (No worries, we're not judging! We still have tons of gifts we gotta get ourselves!) 

We wanted to share our top 5 gifts to give! (And to us they are traditional! We give these to eachother every year without fail!) We hope you enjoy! xx 

1. Pa-Jammie-Jams. C & I both LOVE our pj's, especially during the holidays! It's been a tradition in both of our families to give pajamas each Christmas! We always open these on Christmas Eve which makes this gift extra fun! (We got ours from Splendid LA & we LOVE them! Splendid has the coziest/cutest pajama selects!) 

2. Perfume/Cologne. You can't ever go wrong with a new scent! You can purchase one that you know they already love, or shop our scents! Chases favorite colognes are L Homme by YSL, Acqua Di Gio by Giorgio Armani, and Fierce by Abercrombie! Mine are Flower Bomb by Viktor & Rolf, Candy by Prada, and Chance by Chanel! (The purple one!) We got our scents above from Ice.Com! They have just about every scent ever made so it's an easy one stop shop! 

3. Sweats + Socks. It's also a tradition in my family that on Christmas day you open a pair of sweats!  (my dad started this and it's one of my favorite gifts!) If you need any suggestions check out This Post featuring a bunch of cute comfies/sweats for both ladies & gents! (We recommend anything Lulu, Nike, or Adidas!)

4. Headphones. Beats, Bose, Skull Candy. All three of these brands vibe with everyone! (We're beats people, our nephews are skull candy, and our parents are bose.) Hopefully that helps a bit! The preference & prices are fitting for each age group!

5. Jewelry. Like my new Band above! I got it from Ice.Com and love Everything on their website! They have tons of selects for men & women! Watches, bracelets, rings, the works! (We like this because it's more of an intimate gift! <3)

There's also a post on my old website (BritAndrus.Com) that has a really unique way on how to GIVE gifts! You can check that out here!  

We hope this post has helped those of you who aren't quite finished shopping yet! <3 Happy almost holidays loves! Thanks for stopping by! xx

Casual style on repeat for us Allens. <3 We love getting dressed up, & we loovvee being dressed down.  

C & I both have a few items that spice up our casual/comfy outfits and make us look "dressed up" enough to be out & about when in reality, we're just in our sweats! Chase often shops at G-Star to find comfy clothes that look more dressed up! G-Star has a great selection of sweatshirts, hoodies, & henleys that are soft, unique, & look amazing! As for me, my go to "spice it up" item is my denim jacket! I tie it at the waist, or put it on & cuff the sleeves!

Blue Fat Freeze System // Jacket // Tank // Shorts // Sports Bra // Sneakers // Photog: Hunter Fowler 

You guys asked for it, and I'm finally bringing it to you! <3 How am I able to maintain my petite size?.... I've narrowed it down to these 3 factors. 1. Portion control. 2. Moderation in all things. (Food & working out. I get to the gym twice a week on average, & feed my cravings everyday! There's never a day I go without chocolate & junk food!) 3. & MAJOR KEY Cool sculpting. AKA My at home Fat Freeze system! 

If you haven't heard of "cool sculpting" yet, prepare to have your mind blown! Cool sculpting is basically a system that freezes your fat off. You freeze your fat cells until they have been chilled to the bone, the fat cells die a happy death, and pass through your body. And viola! You just lost inches! 

Sounds weird, right? I agree! I've seen people do this for the last year and thought it was crazy.. then I tried it, and I was hooked!  

Most fat freezing technologies are located at medi spas, and you just have to sit there in it for a while.... but not with the one I have!!!!  

I got my system from Blue and use it all the time! While I'm cleaning, reading, working.. etc. You can even use it while you're sleeping! 

In my pictures above you can see how simple it is to use! You just freeze your gel packs, put them into your dual targeting cold packs,  then strap them onto the area you'd like to minimize! (Stomach, arms, thighs, even your buummm.) Leave it on for one hour, and FIN! For the best results, you should use this 3 times a week! 

I always use mine before a big shoot, or an exciting week filled with lots of food! It honestly makes a difference and is the easiest & simplest thing you'll ever do to lose inches!  

Once again, I don't purely rely on this system to remain the size I am. I don't over eat, and I try my hardest to make it to the gym a couple times a week! But I truly feel like this is a highly effective way to rid of that unwanted, stubborn fat!  

If you're interested in this system, JUMP ON IT! The Blue Fat Freeze system retails for $700.00, but you can get it for $360.00 right now! Check them out for more details! xx  

If there's any other questions you guys have about this system or how I stay fit, leave a comment below! xx

Peplum Top / Skinny Jeans / Denim Jacket / Booties / Handbag / Cuff / Earrings / Photog: Hunter Fowler

I'm sucker for all things casual, simple, & neutral. So when my eyes met up with this loose fitting peplum top, I was sold! 

Peplums are one of my favorite styles! I LOVE how it shows off that feminine side! They're also a dressier top in my opinion! (Especially fitted peplums! I love the loose fit of this one though, it's so cozy & casual!) If you don't already own a peplum, this one's for you! The loose fit makes it more versatile and can be worn anywhere! To work, a night out, a cuddly weekend.. anything! <3 

I bought this one from my favorite shop as of late, Bella Ella! <3 Their clothes are so cute, and their price point is even cuter! You could say I'm addicted.. but hey, I think it's a good addiction! And no I'm not willing to quit it! xx

 Dress // Cardigan (Old) Similar Here, Here, & Here // Boots // Handbag // Lotus Choker // Watch // Earrings // Photog: Hunter Fowler

One of my all time favorite trends is High-Low dresses! High-Lows are flattering on everyone, including us short people! (I'm 5"2, but my attitude 6"1.)

I find myself wearing High-Lows more in the fall/winter because they keep my legs warm in the back, and the front is more open/fun! (It's like a fashionable mullet in reverse if you will.. business in the back, party in the front.) Yes I just said that. Sorry not sorry <3

Don't get me wrong, I definitely wear High-Lows all year round! I'll pair this dress with boots & a thick cardigan for a fall/winter look, and wear strappy sandals with a light wash denim jacket for spring/summer!

I snagged this Floral Beauty from Bella Ella last week and it has quickly become one of my favorites. I love the print and how it ties off to the side! SO QUTE IM DEDD. <3 You ca find some similar selects by clicking HERE. <3

This Utah weather has C & I in shock this year! By this time we normally have a handful of snowy days, and right now we're hitting high 60's! SNOW FALL WHERE U @?! 

Dont get us wrong, we love this weather! But, considering we're crazy about the holidays, a little snow would be nice to get us fully in the ultimate holiday spirit!  

We've actually been trying to do a little Christmas-sy something every single day since November 1st! (In hopes that the holidays last longer and don't vanish in the blink of an eye!) Some have been bombs, (like trying to visit park city's now CLOSED ornament shop) but some have been amazing (like playing elves!) We wanted to share 5 things you can do this week to get into the Christmas spirit/jump start your holiday! <3 Enjoy peeps! 

1. Put your decorations up while listening to Christmas music or watching a Christmas movie! <3  (Hallmark has a handful of x-mas flicks playing all week long, & Netflix has a few good selects too!) 

2. Bake/cook/make a treat that you usually only do during the holidays! Trust me, when the holiday aroma is in your home, you'll be feeling all sorts of merry & bright!

3. Take a drive up the canyon and into the pines! The scenery is beautiful, and the drive is relaxing! (And if you drive up high enough, you just might hit snow!)  

4. If you're in Utah, make a Swig stop! WE LOVE swigs hot cocoa with a shot of coconut! (Or 2.. or 3....!)  

5. Take a moment to figure out what you can give before the new year hits. Not gifts, but what you yourself can actually give to the earth, the people in your lives, yourself, and above all God. Focus on these things as the season continues to approach <3 this will fill your heart with joy and connect you with the reason for this wonderful season! <3 xx Happy extremely early holidays from us to you!!!! 

P.s. If anyone has any favorite traditions, recipes, or ways to get into the Christmas spirit early leave a comment below! <3

Ribbed Dress // Booties // Earrings // Photog: Jessa Kae  

One of my favorite trends this year is ribbed tops! Tight fitting, textured, ribbed everything! I lovvee ribbed dresses too, but hadn't purchased one out of fear. (Ribbed dresses look like they fit extremely tight! And I'm not sure how I feel about that sometimes!) But then I saw this pink baby, and fell in L O V E!!!!  

This is the first ribbed dress I've ever seen that's loose fitting and flowy! It's made of the softest fabric, and has an incredible stretch! It also comes in the CUTEST colors for fall! (I had a hard time deciding on just one..) 

My favorite part about this dress is that it can easily be dressed up or down! It meshes with my finer jewelry & heels on Sunday, and also with my booties and denim jacket that I wear almost everyday! <3  

If you're looking for a new dress, you're not anymore. (;

The Most Wonderful Time Of The Year is among us, (finally <3) and I HAD to share my favorite beauty products for this season! (& every season!)

I've raved about Cle' De Peaus cosmetics time & time again, but today I'm breaking it down for you!  

Cle' De Peau makes top of the line beauty products that won't wipe off in the cold, or melt away in the heat! You put their products on once, and it's permanent for the rest of the day! I ESPECIALLY love this with their Highlighter & Concealer! Their highlight accentuates all of your best features without over doing the shine. And you could be going on 72 hours of sleepless nights, have 2 black eyes, put their concealer on, and you're GOLDEN! (I kid you not, these 2 products are MUST HAVES!) 

I also snagged these shadows & lipsticks from Nordys last week grabbing my must have products and they are UNREAL! The shadow is a cream to powder, comes in the most BEAUTIFUL colors, and they're incredibly easy to layer! As for the lipsticks, they are my new favorite lippies! No comp! They're called Radiant Liquid Rouge, and simply put they're a lip gloss + lipstick duo that lasts & shines for hours! They come in the most beautiful colors and feel silky smooth on my lips! 

I HIGHLY recommend all of these products for holiday gifts, or for YOUR holiday look! (So a gift to you from you from you! (; You deserve it!) No one has time to reapply throughout the day, especially during the holidays! So do it right the first time, hide those baggy eyes, and be radiant this season! xx|HEA

P.S. Shop this Sweater from Moon River, my outfit, & a few of my favorite holiday looks below! <3
