Do you guys wanna hear a funny story about lipstick? One day when I was shopping I overheard a very stylish older woman raving about her favorite lipstick. She said she had tried every brand but always went back to this one. It was Revlon "Love That Pink" so I took a note in my mind and went out and bought it the next day. Not gonna lie… I trust a stylish older ladies advice over someone my own age any day! So the lipstick turned out to be pretty great (I'm wearing it in the picture above). A few weeks later I went over to my grandparents house and happened to see my grandmother's lipsticks sitting out and guess what… same color… Love that pink! I felt cool.
Did I mention the weather here is amazing? It's a dream come true for us moody winter haters. Hooray! 
We're happy as can be! It feels like summer and it's only March. We're having the best days running around snapping photos and making projects. Life is good. xo, elsie + emmaOutfit Details: Elsie- Dress/Target, Yellow Oxfords c/o Wanted Shoes, Orange Camera Bag c/o Kelly Moore.

Well, it is a pretty great lipstick! I always opt for a bright red, but might time to give pink a spin. 🙂

Hehe that’s the funniest little story, i love it when stuff like that happens. And i just looove emma’s jumper! Living by the sea this year makes me want lots of cute coastal style stuff 🙂
Such beautiful photos, your outfits are lovely and look amazing with that rusty background!

I’m the same way! A recommendation from a seasoned beauty vet is way better than a newbie’s! Love the colors in both of your outfits, so classically pretty!
I love the lipstick story. And both your outfits are great!
How serendipitous! It’d be funny if you found out they’re close friends. Love that color on you!
That nautical t shirt with stripes looks adorable! Love both of the outfits!
Love the pink. And the pictures are amazing. Love the dress!

Haha. The lipstick color looks very pretty on you. When visiting my grandma I found out that I wear the same perfume as her – yikes! Anywho, you two both look lovely :]
I adore that dress and skirt! Too cute.
What a great story. Don’t you love it when things feel a little fated 🙂
You both look gorgeous BTW.

elsie, i love that story! it reminds me of when my grandma & i unknowingly, wore the same kind of perfume. i saw it in her bathroom, & exclaimed grandma, i have that perfume too. 🙂 those sister style photos are fantastic. bring on spring.
Emma is so cute! She looks like a kid who got to pick their outfit out for school. Its miss-matched in a really fun way…”hmm, i like indians, boats and I’m kind of a tom-boy…this outfit works!”
Such a cute story! That shade of pink really is very pretty and subdued. Hooray for nice weather! You two look adorable as always.

Great lipstick color! I always trust older folk when it comes to breakfast diners, but clearly their beauty advice is pretty solid, too! And of course, you both look absolutely beautiful as usual. 🙂

This is a beautiful post – the clothing, the settings, the sentiment.
You do realize that “Love that Pink” is going to be sold out at Walgreens + local drug stores across the nation, now? Stock up while you can! 😉
Definitely taking note of that color as well, thanks!!

Emma’s look is my TOTALLY cup of tea! Love it, need it! Same great weather here too and it’s too bad that you have to be in the university all day long! That’s a pity… 🙁
(New blog needing some love: http://inwhirlofinspiration.blogspot.com)

So happy for the warm weather. It is in the 60’s here in PA
I agree with you 100%! I now want to run out and buy that lipstick!
Great photos. Emma was very brave to get up there on that big drum! Love the lipstick and the story that goes with it.

I really want to go shopping in your closets.
I don’t really wear lipstick, and I never think about it, but you’re lips look lovely in that top photo! Next time I find myself buying some lipstick it just might be that color.
P. S. You and Emma have beautiful outfit photos. Every detail of your outfits and photos are inspirational. Thanks for being awesome!
I’ve been looking for new lip colors…gonna have to try it out!

Isn’t that…a septic tank?
Haha your lipstick story is funny because my grandma wears the same color (which I also own.) Hope you guys have been enjoying the weather here in Missouri because it has been GORGEOUS!
Trying the lipstick 🙂 love Emma style and your dress is lovely Elsie
Emma, I am in love with that outfit! Dying for that sweater. My heart sunk when I scrolled down and saw “vintage” …but I kinof knew it would be. Le sigh.
my grandmother has been wearing revlon’s “cherries in the snow” since the 50s – i love stylish old ladies!
That lipstick is so pretty! I’ll definitely have to check out that color sometime soon. It looks great on you too.
Love Emma’s skirt and the lipstick. I love Revlon’s Pink in the Afternoon as well. It’s lighter than Love that Pink but still so pretty.

Us too we have been breaking records it’s been so warm here in Indiana 80’s the past couple of days. I’m kinda worried cuz it’s done this before and then Easter rolls are round and we have flurries.
P.s. Love the lipstick.
i lve emaa’s top in this shoot and your hair looks amazing…as always:) xoxo

I was wondering what the name is of Emma’s moccasins? I was trying to find them online at their website, but I’m not seeing them.
Thank you!

Q: I was wondering what the name is of Emma’s moccasins? I was trying to find them online at their website, but I’m not seeing them.
A: Not sure, she bought them at the thrift so they could be an older style. XOXO
It looks beautiful, now I’m gonna have to check it out too:-) Thank you for sharing Elsie.
I love all the colors.. so wonderful!
I love the pictures of Emma. She looks so pretty.

How Cool!!Such a wonderful hoops..I absolutely agree with this idea its a most unique and beautiful idea.If you add some other color in this hoops its looks so beautiful..
I love both of your outfits and especially Elsie’s shoes! Its a shame they don’t have those yellow oxfords in stock anymore 🙁 I seem to have no luck when it comes to yellow shoes 🙁
Amazing photos! And amazing outfits

It feels and looks like summer: what nice clothes you girls have right there!
Love that pink… okay, I jotted it down 🙂
In Athens the weather is still cold and humid (for our standards anyway). 1 day it can be spring and the sun is shining, the next it’s gloomy again… and this is Greece I’m talking about… oh well, can’t waith for spring to come too 🙂
Really loving emma’s style today! especially that skirt 🙂
Barnicles
You look amazing, and it is a beautiful shade! Not so sure about the rest of her makeup, but I was always borrowing my grandma’s lipsticks before she died!
I really like your outfits! We’re enjoying now some spring days before the rain comes back..I wish we have soon good weather to use fresh and colorful outfits.
I don’t often wear lipstick and when I do I usually get a warm subtle pink. This one looks pretty nice. We also have unseasonable weather here in my part of Canada (Just above New York state). The snow has all melted in my city because it keep raining. I’m not gonna complain…I hate winter and the weather is much warmer now.
I love that pink color it looks great on you! Emma’s hair and yours looks amazing! I love it!

what hair color do you use? every time i try to get the perfect auburn it’s too orange or too brown….yours looks just right!
That lipstick story is so fun! And the color is gorgeous and perfect for spring! I think I’ll stop to pick some up after work! 🙂
Love, love, love Emma’s outfit. The top and skirt are so perfect together. Sigh. Love the story about the lipstick, too. Older women have tried lots of colors and lots of trends – they know what works.
I love your hair!!! he outfit you put together is amazing!!
It´s really warm here today too. And really warm means 16°C. It makes me so happy.
lovely dress!
xoxo
i like that color lipstick. im BEGGING you to do some hair tutorials elsie. it always looks so pretty!!!
No way!! I bought that lipstick last week and have been wearing it practically daily ever since. I love how that shade has been around since the 1950s too.
A few weeks back I saw it on Pinterest in a image with all the lipstick shades Revlon still sells today (from the 40s to 60s). After that I’ve been on a hunt to collect each colour.
Too much fun. So glad you’re enjoying the pink too. It looks darling on you 🙂
xoxo

Also try “Love That Red” by Revlon – another classic one (I read about it somewhere, it escapes me now, but it’s a PERFECT red lip, I swear!)
I am completely dying over Emma’s shirt!! I don’t know who I love it so much. I think I might need to get that. haha
I love the color of the lipstick, and I’m not much of a lipstick person.
I agree too, about the weather. I feel so alove once the cold and snow leave!

Cute story! Emma – that is my favorite outfit on you so far. So glad you two have summer type weather.
Great color–so natural. I’ll definitely have to look for it.
I love skirts with pockets. I’ll look out for that lipstick.
wonderful summer inspired looks
Oh my goodness I’m so in love with the golden toe and heel shoes. Like in love like I want to wear them to bed kinda love. So cute!!!

Great story. I’ll be keeping an eye out for that lipstick as it looks fantastic.
Great outfits. I LOVE the yellow oxfords. So cheerful. The second outfit could also be styled for cooler weather with tights and blue pumps like these:

Wow! Going to completely check out that lipstick now. And Emma’s jumper is just perfect for this time of year – it reminds me of these dresses that I’ve been lusting after: http://www.feverdesigns.co.uk/catalogsearch/result/?q=boat

Elsie! i absolutely love those yellow oxfords…i am ordering myself a pair but want to know…do they run true to size?!
Thank you 🙂
that lipstick story is so funny, I am pretty sure I would have done the same thing but my Nana would never have worn red lipstick because she thought it was too scandulous. Lol I love old ladies.
I agree about the stylish older ladies comment. I recently joined a choir where the average age is 55 (I’m 23)… and I’d listen to those ladies over most people any day.
the industrial blue is a great back drop and looks like fun place to play. and both of you look so beautiful
emma’s top is amazing!
Ahh, that’s a good omen with the lipstick for sure! hehe. Elsie I loveeeee those oxfords!!! So adorable…still searching for my perfect pair. Ah.
Emma, love the sailboats and mocs<3

I can’t even begin to tell you how many shoes and purses I have high-jacked from my Granny. I need I had great taste when I say a pic of my husbands Grandmother from the 60’s and we had the same necklace and shoes.
I love the location of these pictures 🙂 These are great!

Nice photo shoot. Love the pics!
That’s my go-to pink as well! A warning though–once I bought the Moondrops version of it on accident, and it’s a COMPLETELY different color!! So make sure you pick the one that’s best for you! 😛
Sister style. Like summer. I like this style. It makes us feel comfortable. The color in the eye attracts me a lot.
