[ mid-summer chilling ]


Empty watermelon rinds, sand-filled sneakers, and the beating sun: Santa Clause and the snow are cool and all but nothing kills it like summer. The day was spent dazing, catching up, dancing --> choreographing (although one of us is much better at that than the other), and gushing about music (Yuna, anyone?). And while we were rapping our hearts out to the amusing lyrics of Childish Gambino we suddenly, spontaneously decided to make a blog to showcase some of our more experimental outfits.
 
What to name this blog? We decided to think about it for all of one minute... it's summer, and we're bored, but we're not in the mood to brainstorm, ok? Looking around the room for inspiration, we first looked to the Dali-inspired melting clock. Melting clock. What a cool name! Taken! And for a blog that doesn't even post. After a couple seconds of disappointment, we then looked at the other side of the room. "Lamp!" Imani said. "Lace lamp." I added. And then we erupted in giggles.
 
Finally, looking now towards the slightly open door of the closet, a shimmering item caught our eyes: my holographic wooden-based strappy sandal platforms. And then there was light. Holographic. Holographic what? Our holographic lives, silly! Duh! (Kidding, we're not preteen valley girls).
 
And although this is a lifestyle blog, what better way to start that with our outfits. More particularly, Imani's outfit, because it's perfect. But have fun looking at mine as well!
 
And here are the shoes that started it all:

And of course, the obligatory selfie:

The weird long parameters are due to it being taken directly on snapchat. No apologies, it made a great photo for my Snapchat story!
