Basic Tees

If you've been following us for a while, then you know we LIVE for a good basic tee.  We like to keep it casual 90% of the time, and when we find a good casual t-shirt, we usually buy it in multiple colors!

Regan: Tee // Denim // Jacket (similar) // Shoes // Hat

Paige: Tee // Denim // Sandals // Hat


These striped Madewell tees are a couple of our most recent favorites, and they pair perfectly with our most frequently worn, high waisted Madewell jeans!

We love how casual this look is for summer, especially when worn with these adorable jean + linen baseball caps!

We linked more of our favorite, tried + true basic tees below. 

To name a few:

The Madewell Whisper Cotton Tee

This is Sidney + Regan's favorite, most over-worn (lol) tee.  They both have them in multiple colors.  This is one that Madewell always has in stock, and is always coming out with in new colors.  There are also always colors that will go on sale for $14, so make sure to check to see which ones are marked down!


The Michael Stars Shine Tee

Paige's favorite for a staple, fitted tee! We get them from

Anthropologie

 (head to the link to view all their different styles in the 'Shine Tee').  These tees have a fun shimmery material, and are really good quality! They come in different colors, and styles, and come and and go during different seasons.  So just keep your eye out on the

Anthro

site if you don't see the color/style you love currently available.


Sol Angeles Tees

We've talked about these before.  Also a tee we like to get from

Anthropologie

.  These are just cute graphic tees that come in so many cute designs and with different sayings.   Definitely a little more pricey, but there are always styles going on sale, which is when we like to buy them! Plus, Anthro often does 20-30% off sale items, which marks them down even more! You can also check out the

Sol Angeles

website and buy directly from them.

Autumn Neutrals

One of the greatest things about living in Utah is experiencing the changes in seasons!  Fall is most definitely the prettiest time of year in our opinion.  

One of the reasons the change in seasons is so fun is because we get to change out our wardrobes with each season! Wearing neutral colors and transitional shoes is a great way to start to transition your wardrobe into fall. 

Anthropologie has some great pieces that can be paired with so many different things!

Paige's navy & cream skirt (unfortunately not available anymore, but we linked a similar one) is so comfortable and can easily be dressed up or down.  Regan's olive green vest is the perfect layering piece for the warmer fall months, and she paired it with one if her more summery tops (which is currently on sale for under $20!) - gotta get as much use out of those summer clothes as possible before it's too cold!

P.S. Regan's faux leather tote is a new favorite for fall - it's reversible from brown to black, and is under $50! All of our outfit details are linked at the bottom of this post :)

Healthy Banana Peach Muffins Recipe

2 c whole wheat flour

¾ tsp baking powder

¾ tsp baking soda

¼ tsp salt

1-2 ripe bananas

1 large egg, room temperature

1 tbsp vanilla extract

3 TBS honey

½ c plain nonfat Greek yogurt

1/4 c almond milk

1 Peach, diced

1) Preheat the oven to 350°F, and lightly coat a 12 standard-sized muffin cups with nonstick cooking spray.

2) In a medium bowl, whisk together ingredients. Gently fold in the peaches or add them to the tops of the muffins before baking

3) Divide the batter between the prepared muffin cups, and bake at 350°F for 20-30minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Cool in the pan for 5 minutes before carefully turning out onto a wire rack to cool completely.

Black & White

Is it weird that black & white is probably our favorite color combo?  It just works. Especially in the wintertime. A couple of our favorite things about these two looks: Sidney's sweater and Regan's coat (heart eyes for days). Sidney was tempted to buy her sweater in both color options. If you haven't noticed, she is super in to wearing looser-fitting tops, and this is no exception. It's the perfect amount of "flowy" and so, so soft! Regan's windowpane coat is the perfect piece to dress up (and warm up) any outfit. Love the windowpane pattern that's become more and more popular lately.  All outfit details are linked below!

Fall Tunics

Hi! Regan here :) This past weekend was spent up in the gorgeous mountains of Park City, Utah watching LDS Conference (one of my favorite weekends of the year!).  It was so pretty up there with all the fall colors!  Paige, Sidney, and I spent Saturday and Sunday up there with our hubby's (and Sidney's boyfriend).  On Sunday morning we made a yummy breakfast, and just lounged in our PJ's while watching #LDSConf. 

When I tried this

tunic

on at Anthropologie, I knew it would be a staple for this fall! It's really comfortable and the material is so soft! I've already worn it like five times, haha. Oh, and these

Karen Walker

 sunglasses! We've been getting all of our designer sunglasses lately through Ditto!  Instead of dropping $100-$200 on

one

 pair of sunnies (or prescription eyewear!), rent your favorite pair, then switch them out for new ones anytime you want!  Sign up today using code 'SALTYBLONDES' and try it out for one month FREE!  They are always updating their website with the latest brands and styles and we just can't get enough!

Maternity Dresses

Hello again! Below are a few more of my favorite, most flattering maternity dresses (as promised)! They actually aren't technically maternity dresses, and are cute whether you're pregnant or not! Unfortunately I can't find the bottom one online, but I got it at Soel boutique in Orem. They ship for a flat rate of $5, and the brand of the dress is Life Love is Free and Everlasting. Their phone number is 801-426-9644!

Also, ASOS is a great, affordable place to shop for maternity clothes! At the bottom of this post I've included 3 dresses I recently ordered from them and love. The first one is on sale for only $17! Click through the photos at the bottom for direct links & details :)




Snowy Pastels

We've been LOVING the warm, mild winter this year, but aren't going to lie…last week's snow storm was a welcome change! We had planned on wearing these outfits as a "transition to spring" post, but the weather didn't quite agree with us haha. Oh well! 


Paige: Jacket | Denim | Booties | Glasses | Watch (sale!) | Earrings | Lips ('Vino' liner w/ 'Honey Love')

Regan: Top | Pants | Booties | Bag | Necklace | Watch | Earrings | Lips ('Angel')







Cold's Not So Bad...

January, and the cold winter months in general, can get pretty depressing if you ask us California girls! Fortunately a bright colored coat, or a cute, cozy sweater can help make it a little more bearable ;)

This sweater and coat are two of our favorite pieces this winter...


HUGE thanks to the talented Britain Willie  for these gorgeous shots. She's the best!

Thanksgiving Day - What to Wear



Details:
Paige - TOP: Amara Day Spa & Boutique (similar here & here)//DENIM: 7fam//HAT: Lulus//BOOTIES: Dolce Vita//WATCH: Fossil (on sale!!)//LIPS: MAC Vino Liner with Honey Love 

Regan: SWEATER: Halogen, old (my fav sweater, I wish Nordstrom still sold it! similar here)//DENIM: Rag & Bone//BEANIE: Anthropologie//BOOTIES: Splendid// NECKLACE: Dogeared//LIPS: MAC Soar liner with a little bit of Rebel

Obviously you want to look cute on Thanksgiving… You're usually with family, and sometimes with those you don't get to see very often. That being said, you also want to be comfortable! Thanksgiving is one of the only days where it's acceptable to eat abnormally large amounts of food without being judged. To avoid stretching out a good dress or shirt after the meal, we recommend going LOOSE and STRETCHY all the way :-P We'll be bringing these outfits on our little trip home to California next week. We think they're both perfect to wear for the holiday!

Choose a cozy fall sweater with plenty of room to grow, or a flowy blouse in a pop of bright fall color! And don't forget the stretchy pants ;)

We know most of this goes without saying, but just thought we'd drop a friendly reminder, and give you something to think about when choosing your outfit next week ;)
Thanks for reading, we hope you all have a great weekend! It's Friday!! The best day of the week :)

Essentials Volume One: Olive + Floral



Paige - TEE: Anthropologie//JACKET: Anthropologie//DENIM: 7 For All Mankind//BEANIE: Michael Kors//BOOTIES: Dolce Vita//LIPS: MAC Honey Love 

Regan - SHIRT: Nordstrom// PANTS: Free People// BOOTIES: Ivanka Trump// BAG: Marc by Marc Jacobs// NECKLACE: J.Crew// BRACELET: Free People// LIPS: MAC Creamsheen Glass Boy Bait

 There are a few staple items we think every woman needs in her closet this season. These are items that are versatile, and can be worn in lots of different ways. The chambray shirt from our recent post is a great example. 

We'll be doing a mini-series on Salty Blondes, where we'll share all of OUR favorite essential items. Here are our first four:

1. A neutral, olive jacket. This color is great because it goes with almost anything. Wear it with motto skinnies, a feminine maxi, or denim as seen here. It's pretty much the perfect topper for everything!

2. Floral skinnies. These may not seem like an essential to most, but for us they are for sure! They look cute with a casual graphic, front tucked tee, OR dressed up a little with a heeled bootie and a more formal tunic or blouse. Plus, pull any color from the pant to tie in shoes, a top, or the perfect accessory. 

3. A neutral color hat or beanie. For those days when you're hair just isn't your friend, add a beanie that goes with anything. We love this one by Michael Kors!

4. A nice, neutral bag. If you're going to spend the money on one expensive bag, make sure it's a neutral color that goes with everything.  And let's be honest, everyone needs a Marc by Marc in their closet ;)


Stay tuned for Volume 2, coming soon!


Also, we were asked to participate in another giveaway! Yay!! We're joining in with the lovely ladies below to give you the chance to win $100! This time in PayPal cash ;)

If you're wondering why we're wearing short dresses with bare legs in the middle of fall...it's because we want to show off our new tans from AMARA Day Spa!

Their spray tans are the best, most natural-looking we've ever seen! We had to get one last tan of the season before we are forced to accept the fact that winter is coming, and we're about to get extremely WHITE ;) Check out their website and Instagram. We LOVE pampering ourselves there, and they also have a boutique with the cutest stuff. 

Below is the self tanning spray you can also purchase and apply by yourself! You can find it online here. Tell us what YOUR favorite self-tanner is in the comments below!

If you haven't noticed, we're obsessed with Anthropologie. They have the best, most comfortable tees! We both own this one in multiple colors. It's one of our favs! #sharethegoodness ;)

When we sent our little sister who's over in Indonesia on an LDS mission our new blog idea, and then our very first post, she replied to us that she loved the idea and wrote #sharethegoodness. 

That phrase immediately stuck with us, because that's totally what this blog is all about!

We're posting pictures of things we love because we want to SHARE the things we're passionate about in hopes that our followers might come to love and enjoy those things as well.

So if you follow us on Instagram, you'll be seeing us #sharethegoodness on all our pics...and that's why!

Hope you enjoy a little style inspiration on this Saturday morning.
Thanks for reading!
