Sarah created a fun photo series that compares Emma's and my favorite things. It's incredibly simple, but filled with so much personality. Can you guess which is me and which is Emma, left or right?
Our guilty pleasure food obsession.
Lipsticks currently found in our purses.
Did you guess who is who yet? Emma's on the left. I am on the right. This series really makes me smile. It's so simple, but I feel like Sarah captured us so well. You should totally steal the idea to document your favorite things!

I’d guess that the ethno handbag is Elsie’s and the red ine Emma’s…am I right?
Love from Germany,

What a fun way to capture you both! I thought the answers would be alternated in each photo, but I think I guessed most of them correctly. π Love this idea!
I was right!
I LOVE this idea! So fun and such a cool little insight into your lives/minds/pleasures. Totally doing this for me and my husband. Thanks! π

This is so cute! I am all about salt water sandals right now. Pretty much wearing them all.the.time.
that Sarah, y’all. She’s a good egg.
Awesome idea ! I found you when you shared your current reads.

Emma’s bag, i need that in my life!
Ha! I guessed all correctly except for the handbags. π
Lol. What an awesome idea for a new series! I love getting to know the people behind the blogs and this is a refreshingly creative way to do it. You girls are inspirational as always. π

Love the idea!
P.S. I’m in the middle of re-branding my blog. I purchased your Blog Life and it has been super helpful! Wish I had it when I first started blogging. Thanks! π
Can I just get all of the beautiful things? ALL OF THE THINGS!
Super cute idea, ladies!

Aw this is awesome! I got it right up until the shoes and then I thought it would be the other way round! I would like a pair of both!!
Aw I love this! I guessed right up until the shoes which I thought was the other way round! I would like a pair of both!
Such a cute photo series! Genius π
What a cute idea! I figured it out at vintage cocktails that Elsie’s is on the right. π
So funny, great idea! Kisses from Uruguay π
That is such a fun idea, I love it!
Totally guessed it. The books and purses gave it away! xoxo Kerrie
And oh man, I want pizza and donuts now.
so lovely π
I loved this! It’s such a cute idea!

so cute!
This is so fun – I would love to compare with my sister and see what we come up with…although I know pizza would be both of our guilty foods.
When I saw the bags, I thought you were on the left. But then I saw the books and the cookbooks were the final clue to the right answer π
I guessed right! I totally love this idea! I want to try doing this with my sister on my blog π

Adorable! You girls make me wish I had a sister!!
Love this…I had it wrong until I saw the shoes and changed my mind at the last minute π
That’s a great idea! We might steal it actually!

I loved this post! I have to say, I always look forward to your Casual Friday posts and your posts on your sisterhood. π It’s so much fun to get to know the both of you better and to see a pair of sisters work so well together–especially since you’re both business partners, too. Can’t wait for the next post!
I really love this, it’s such a cute idea! I thought you were the left, until I saw the Vintage Cocktails book. Then I knew. ^_^ I might have to borrow this idea, maybe to document my summer favorites!

Where did Emma get her bag? I love it!
What a neat idea! Love learning a little more about you girls!
I love, this is amazing but your game is very easy!! I knew you were in the right, pizza, cocktail…it was easy!!
I’m guessing the pink-purple ish lipsticks are Emma’s? And the watermelon design shoes look like her style too…what a cute post! π
http://everydayingrace.blogspot.ca/
Love it! And I totally got it right. Please continue with this series!

The shoes gave it away!
I loved this! Vintage Cocktails and the shoes gave it away.
When I saw the lipsticks I knew which favourites were whose.
Thanks for making me crave donuts btw. (;
ha! I knew who is who right away! I mean, you don’t know this but we are really good old freinds…
This is so fun! My sister and I live together, and I’d love to take this idea for a post! Would you mind if I did, of course linking back to yours as my original inspiration? Xoxo
The cocktail and recipe books definitely gave it away! :)I love this idea, so personal and sweet.
This is SO awesome! I love this SO much. I don’t have a sister to do this with, but it would be great with my best friend or boyfriend. I can’t wait to do this on my blog with a mention to you of course (; Thanks for posting this!!
I was right! Haha, this is such a cute idea!
Lol! I would go for Emma’s coffee and handbag, for Elsie’s fruit and read, for Emma’s guilty snack and for Elsie’s lipstick and shoes π
so cute. i wasn’t sure until i got to the ‘current reads’ that was a dead giveaway! π it would be fun to do a little photo swap like this with my own sisters. thanks for the cute idea. LOVING the blog lately.
I guessed right π I think the cookbooks and cocktails book gave it away for me, haha.
Thanks for the inspiration, my friend and I just launched our blog together so this is a great idea for us to try.
Thank you!
this is such a cute idea! i love that you two share your sisterhood on the blog, it’s always fun seeing how other pairs of sisters are alike and different π
the cocktail book gave it away for me!
Love that idea tara! Now I want to do one with Trey and I too. Would be so cute hung up in the house.
-Emma
Major agree.

Feel free! We love seeing our ideas used. π

LOVE the watermelon shoes!
I absolutely love this post idea!!!!
xoxo, kerri
LOVE this post so so so much! Like you said, so simple yet so fun π Being a sister myself (the youngest of three), I think it is very fun to see the difference + similarities between tastes and styles from sister to sister. I may just have to steal this idea for my and my sisters’ blog π
-Charlotte

With this post you can see how much two sisters can be different! Great idea:) (and I guessed)
LOVE THIS! I’m definitely doing this with me and my sister, who are also totally different yet so similar.
xoxo
Taylor
fun..I guessed wrong, the lipsticks thru me off Elsie, where is your red bag from?
Love this idea! This makes me sad I don’t have a sister though :/
Wondering where those watermelon shoes are from… they’re kind of the greatest!

I guessed correctly and made me feel like a total fan girl (being as I’ve been following you guys for the past 4 years!)
what a cute idea!
LOVE THIS IDEA!!! It should be a new series!
Haha I think the current reads photo was the tip-off.
Ooh, this is a great idea! It looks cool too.
I’m tempted to do one with myself and my boyfriend… Our favourites are quite opposite at times!
It was the handbag that gave it away for me!
Such a cute idea. I was completely wrong. >.< Haha - Christina (www.cityloveee.blogspot.com)
Emma, where is your handbag from? I love it!!!
Handbags fooled me..Its a super fun idea..love it!! Sarah, you go girl!

i love this girls, so interesting… it would be cool to do with your partner too to see the differences in your personalities and to document it for later!
What a simple but amazing idea. Would work great for a family as well.
what a fun idea!! sarah rocks!!
xxoo,

Love this, think I might try it with my sisters xxx
These are so fun.
Sarah is a crack shot!
I totally guessed it right. Elsie, the purse gave you away. And Emma, the pizza was a dead giveaway. Though the cocktail book almost threw me off. π
I absolutely love this idea. It is nice to see both your favourite things together. I may try this with my sister. It would be so different!
This is such a good idea! I totally guessed right too — your watermelon shoes gave you away Elsie! π

Fun idea – there were a few items/pictures that i seriously couldn’t pick! Great π
What a fantastic idea. I think this needs to be done for everyone in my life now. I may quiz my husband tonight and surprise him with a blog post next week. If I find the time… Oh, you know what might be real fun!? If I did a side-by-side-by-side where it’s my favorite food, my husband’s favorite food, and then our baby’s favorite food. It would be a little tongue-in-cheek, but if it turns out even remotely as cute as this, it’ll be a hit.
What a fab post!
Great photography and these watermelon shoes are amazing!!
http://www.accordingtoellie.co.uk
this is so fun! i can totally see your personalities come out through these simple photos π

Emma, can you please share your lipstick shades?? LOVE THEM!
Emma, can you please share which lipstick shades those are?
Yay, I guessed right! What a fun post!
This post is so cute!!
This is such a cute post!
Hey,
What a fun idea. I love comparing the things that my sister and I both like. We lean towards very different things, but I appreciate her style.
Emma, I like your picks. You had me at doughnuts!
Alyssa
They are CoverGirl brand. The pink one is “siren” and the purplish one is “embrace.” Pro tip: the purplish one hides red wine stained lips pretty well. Perfect for date night, if you ask me.
Wine teeth… we’ll there’s really no hiding that. π
-Emma
This is so adorable!! I love those lipsticks that you both have. And those Salt Water sandals are so cute!! I really want to get a pair for this summer π

So clever ! I am definitely going to do this with some of my favorite things! Maybe I will even do it with my brother’s too.. although it will be very easy to tell who is who! π
I love this idea so much! I always finding myself wishing I had a bio sister. I just created a bunch of my own π
As soon as I saw the cocktail book and the doughnuts I knew which side was which. It is kinda crazy how I know you from just reading your blog.
I love this so much! My sister is visiting next week, and I think I’ll try to do something like this with her. Thanks for sharing, girlies!
I love this post! Way too much fun + totally beautiful. I want to make one with everyone–my best friend, sister, boyfriend, mom, whoever! xx
The What’s In Between
Those watermelon shoes are pretty damn awesome.
This is so fun! I guessed correctly. I have twin daughters (only 6) and I think this would be so cute to do with them each year around their birthday to see how they evolve as sisters and as individuals. So, totally stealing this. : )
This was fun and different! I love seeing new ideas for posts that you guys come up with…always keeping everything new and exciting..never boring.
ohmygosh, i love this idea! i’m totally gonna have to try it with my bestie.
The pizza threw me off! I know how much Emma loves pizza too. lol
lol – love this post!
This would make such a great sister gift printed into a small book or something!
Definitely keeping the idea for later!
BOOM, I got it right! I wasn’t sure until I saw the lipstick colours and then I was all “yeah you got this!”
Hi Elsie! Just wondering if you could share the watermelon shoes brand? SO CUTE!!
I couldn’t figure it out! I kept thinking you might have mixed it up to throw me off the scent! hehe! Such a cute idea Sarah, I’d love to do this with my sister, I think it would be very obvious though! x
What a fun and lovely idea! wish i had a sister.
love the watermelon shoes! they are class! where are they from?
Such a great way to capture you two! Loved it π
http://www.madnessbymeg.blogspot.com
totally loved the idea!!! i would like to do it with my boyfriend and I!!
This is such a cool project, I wanna try this with someone too!
those sandals are so cute!
missjessicaclaire.blogspot.com.au/
Hello, where come the red sandals come from ?
Thanks π
Got it right π Great styles!
Hey guyzzzz… This is a pretty sweet post!!
Love love loveeee Elsie’s shoes of choise!! Where are they from?
This is the cutest idea ever. Well done, as always.
Oh so funny!
I will try this with my sister and me ; )
They are Salt Water sandals from ModCloth: http://www.modcloth.com/shop/search?keyword=saltwater π – Jacki
I love this! Very cool. My best friend is heading to the other side of the world soon…(*sniffsniffCRYCRY*) this idea would be great for a going-away gift!!

I found out with the lipsticks π It’s a really cute idea!
I love this! I want to do it with my husband and my kids. It would be so fun to look back at that ten years later and laugh at what our favorite things were.

Love this fun idea!
Like this idea, nice blog! Greets from the netherlands
my guess was right! totally with emma on the donuts, but I’m with elsie on the pineapple and vintage cocktails!
I really loved this post. As soon as I scrolled to the books I was 100% sure who was who. I totally want to try this with my sister. I think she is going to do a few posts on my blog this summer and I think it would be fun to introduce her this way.
I guessed! But the first few were definitely harder. This is such a fun idea!
What a great idea! I think I am going to use this in my own scrapbooks. π
The pizza threw me off, since I know Emma has talked about her pizza love. Fun post!
I love this series. It’s such a cute and great idea!!
l o v e this series! I knew the answer when I saw the vintage cocktail book!
Really liked this format. Fun!
I love this. So cute and so much personality!
I love this!! Well done and such a fun idea π
I love the idea of this serie π
Love this post!!! What a really great idea!
Thank you!
I love this! I want to see more!
Aaaah! This is such a cute idea! My sister and I live miles and miles apart, but we keep a blog together to stay in touch, and I’ve been hunting around for good ideas to keep the blog fresh and fun. I stumbled upon this post in my feed this morning. I’m definitely going to ask her to do something similar with me! I will give you gals all the credit! xx Thanks so much for sharing!
This is so cute π
I love this idea! I was unsure until the end when I saw the shoes and then I figured it out!!
Love this! What is the name of the purple-ish Covergirl lipstick? It looks great!
therossettoblog.com
This was such a good idea! I’m going to persuade my cousin to do this with me.
xx
Nailed it!! It’s funny how your styles reflect me and my sisters styles! It’s so crazy. She is also blonde and I brunette.

I LOVE this, you guys! So cute.
I love the watermelon shoes! Where did you get them from?
Which one is which? I think Elsie’s is to the right π
I loved this so much! =)
ModCloth!
-Elsie
Yes, that’s correct. π
xx- Elsie
I guessed right! The lipstick gave it away π Emma you look great in those bright pink lipstick shades. Love the background color as well. So cool.
so fun!!
so fun!!
So cute! Love this idea!
Great idea! Very fun. I love Elsie’s lipsticks, can I ask wich brand and color are there?
