Fashion-smashion- Skating on Thin Ice

We have all dreamt at one time or another of being an ice dancer...gliding gracefully on the ice...twisting and spinning...well that is until you fall flat on your tush.  Just because your dreams of being the next Michelle Kwan are left on your pillow doesn't mean you cant dress like her.

For months now we have been oogling and googling skater dresses...saving them in our carts...emailing them to each other and gettting more and more obsessed.  After seasons filled with uber hipster, dowdy boring clothes spring brings us cute, girly and bright freaking trends...we heart it soooo much!

Skater dresses fit every one...no seriously...EVERY one...

-Got amazing legs like Miss Me?  √ Skater dresses will hook them up
-Got not so Miss Me legs but a killer waist? √  Skater dresses will let you show it off
-Love your boobies? √  Yup you know it
-Hate your bootie √  ok ok you get the picture

Here are a few of our faves...and maybe just maybe a few shoes to go with them...

Oh ps...boys (you know who you are...the ones we lovingly call baby daddies, this is basically a wish list ...as is every fashion post...hint hint...)


  Ok...the one that started our hearts a fluttering....this cray cray cute skater dress with cut outs from Asos...

The print is reminicent of a certain MJ dress we hearted last year...so maybe our hearts grew fonder from that...

This candy striped beauty should for SURE be worn with these gorge, delicious, insanely rad Mulberry Wedges!!!

Dear Asos (yes again), you had us at alphabet print...maybe its because we both have new(ish) bunnies or maybe we are just super young (like just outta high school young...cough cough) so we remember the alphabet like it was last year...

Loving the letters printed on this cutie bean SD (skater dress...obvs).  Great neck line, waist and  perfect flirty skirt!  It would die to be worn to Coachella and paired with these beauties...

 Hello Topshop lacey frock.  How quaintly awesome are you with your neon lime/yellow lining!?!?  Super awesome?  Yep...you is.  We heart you and all you represent!

 Ok, so our real life obsession started last year with this super sexy SD from Australian line, Lover.   Perfectly named because we heart it like a secret lover.   This dress is perfection...sexy, saucy, sweet, chic and can be worn ANYWHERE and literally with ANYTHING!  

Pair it with a moto jacket and these stupidly gorge Margiela booties and you my love will be the belle of any ball.

Oh, that Lover dress is crazy moolah....no shit!  We found this little number for you from (yeah yeah) Asos.  You're welcome!  

And maybe instead of those M booties (again...they belong to us in our dreams....or at our birthdays..hint hint boys...HINT mother f'n HINT) you can grab these Rachel Zoe-esque wedges from Aldo.  

How ever you wear it...wear it with sass and style...try not to opt for flip flops and a cardi...spice it up and who knows...you might end up with a gold medal for the style Olympics (if they gave out medals for that...which they like, totally should)

Its good to be back...no no...its GREAT to be back!!!

We love you guys!

Fashion Friday: We heart Coachella Cuties

OK...now before we begin a suuuper picture heavy post about some of our fav Music Fest fashions...(what's a music fest you ask? Oh...well...just click here!) we have to admit we totally forgot it was Friday!!!

Sooo we are sorry that this is late and that it's kinda half ass... :)

The bright side is now you A. Don't have to read a lot and B. At least you have something new to look at instead of those papers you are supposed to be working on.

Half full people...half full...

Sewwwwwwww with out further adieu.... Coachella's Cutest (sorry other music fests!)

Not our fave look but at it totally works on her...she's like a modern rainbow bright

Anything goes at Coachella...as long as it's short!

We can all thank the Goddess that is Kate Moss for really making fashion important at music festivals and for making knee high boots and micro shorts hot and fashionable with out looking like a Dukes Of Hazard reject.

Here are a few of our picks for Coachella Cuties...

Oh..PS It is always chock FULL of McGiptsers in their finest McGipster Wear. They always look amazing but these pics below are just people in their personal style. Nothing special except they look cute..

Hi cute couple! Like your matching granny boots!

Hi there...we are just 2 cuties hanging out...

Dowdy Mcgowdy and looking comfy in the 90 degree heat. She didn't have to worry about shaving her legs! Nice going! Also great hat! Take that skin cancer!

Love this girl! Yes a bit hip but looks great doing it! Great fringe bag and sheer button up shirt!

Great sandals can really elevate a denim F21 jumper. Slick hair and wayfarers...Done and simply Done

OK...really KB...really???!??!??!??!?!?!??! Uggh even in a tee and cut offs and plastic molded (amazingly yellow) sandals you look perfecto!!!!!

Nouveau hippie meet coachella...coachella this is a nouveau hippie.

This next girl is here because she doesn't give a shit about what the McGipsters think. This is her personal Miami Chic style and she loves it.

We have a girl crush on this rad girl (and KB and Miss Moss,...DUH) Yes a bit McGip but in a very cute fashion forward personal style way. Well done!

McGip Meets Manson...we like the contradiction...and that crazy cute 70's print dress. But 1 thing...hats work better in the desert when they are actually shading your face. That's all...just a note.

Oh Sienna...it's all your fault! I am knee (ankle) deep in slouchy buckle boots and I cant stop!

Love!

Even Dita keeps her style personal. And are those keds???? Wow! It must feel good to wear flats!

LOVE this hot ladykins! Simple...to the point...comfy and super chic. (Not loving the sandals...but we will let that slide for your cute cute top and flowy blazer)

Hello cute boy in a funny hat! You're funny and cute.

Love that she has on a Raquel Allegra top (its backwards...but since you are wearing one we forgive you) with short shorts! The flats should go away but you are cute ;)

None of these 3 fantastical pieces work together per say...but on you it works! Voila! And you look great and super coachella appropriate.

P.S. Remember this post about weekend getaways? Everything there would be grreeeat for Music Fest Fashions too!

P.P.S. If you are going this year...send us pics at thingsweheart@gmail.com to show us what you are wearing...

Random Hearts: We Heart (soooo excited) Summer Music Festivals!!!

The dancing!

The shows!

The fun!

The people!

At Coachella...of course

We Heart Summer Music Festivals!!!

The time has come music lovers!!!!!

Actually you don't even have to LOVE music per say to have the best time ever at a fest...OK yes we are super sure it helps a lot to enjoy live music but it is for sure not a must. The experience alone will make you addicted.

US Music festivals are soooo ridiculously big and exciting and filled to the brim with rad stuff to do.

They now have rides, chill stations, full shopping and rec centers, tattoo parlours....the list literally goes on and on! Once you are there you will never want to leave.

There are quite a few in the US sooo many in fact we couldn't believe our music loving minds ;)

After scouring (and attending...we are retardedly lucky...we know!) tons of music fests all over the US and web we picked our 4 faves. They spread all over the country...there is 1 for everyone!!!!

WOOO HOOOO!

Now obviously we can not even start to write about our lust for Springtime festivals without drooling and cooing over the one...the only COACHELLA!

Based in Indio, CA (near Palm Springs) every year in April.

We actually plan this pilgrimage...well not really a pilgrimage, pilgrimage...more like a jaunt but a crazy shmantastic 3 day jaunt...

Sorry...OK we plan our Coachella MF (Music Festival) trip waaaay in advance 'cuz we are soooo excited!

This year Coachella is hosting a crazy good array of bands, artists and of course music lovers and fashionistas (more in a second).

This year Jay Z (woo hoo), The specials (can't wait), Muse, Faith No More, Vampire Weekend (yay!) and 100s of other rad ass acts will grace the 4 stages there.

Last night we begged a certain someone we heart to take us to Lollapalooza this year.

Lollapallooza was created by Jane's Addiction singer, Perry Farrel in 1991 as a traveling fest and now resides in the middle of Chicago...amazing!

This year we are dying to go in August...the 6th-8th to be exact...to see Green Day, MGMT, Lady Gaga, The XX and The Strokes! It's gonna be insane.

There is something crazy cool about holding a music fest filled with full of life (and full of intoxication) kids dead smack in the middle of a huge city!

Lolla gives some of their proceeds to the Parkways foundation. Rad!

Now one fest we have been hearing about sooo much every year as the one not to miss (although we do every year) is Bonnaroo Music and Arts Fest in Manchester Tennessee.

It goes from June 10-13 on a 700 acre farm where they say the normal population rises from 7,000 to almost 100,000 for the week before and the week following!!!

They not only host musicians and Djs...they host Comedians like Conan O'Brien!!!!

Bonnaroo also plays host to artists and craft makers in there 100 acre village along with yoga classes, movie theaters, food drives and full recycling programs.

This year they are having Kings of Leon, STEVIE WONDER, Jay Z, OK Go, and Weezer to name a few.

Sounds like an incredible experience!

And last but not at all least...the one fest we do not fully know how to explain.

The Burning Man in Nevada from Aug 30-Sept 6th. (Wow a full week! Holy exhaustion batman)

It's hippie meets artists meets music lovers meets earth huggers meets who the fuck knows.

All we know is they say once you go you are part of the movement and you will be addicted to go every year.

Please read about it...it's mind blowing!!!!

MFs are soooo popular with the fashion, celeb, mcgipster (we call hipsters Mc gipsters) set that there are blogs that dedicate pages on what to wear to them...like 1 of our faves Who What Wear.

Fashion is soooo important at these festivals (especially Coachella) that 1 of our go to stores ever, H&M actually dedicated its Fashion Against Aids program to a whole line for Festivals!

P.S. Before you go on Craigslist or Ebay to search for MF tix...buyer beware...there are a few assholes out there that may have fake ones ;( But keep looking! You gotta get to one (or all) of these!

Have a blast! Enjoy your life! Get to a Music Fest ASAP!
