First Day of Senior Year

Here we are again at the beginning of a new school year. We come with excitement and a whole lot of worry as the thought of college becomes more real. A new year is always daunting but the prospects that lay ahead, at the same time, still hold a warmth that it will all be alright.
     One of our favorite places, is this small little ice cream shop that serves homemade and organic ice cream with flavors that are to die for! It is our very own Arcata Scoop! The flavors range from the classic Vanilla or Strawberry to a more exotic flavor such as Jalapeno or Avocado. To top it all off, they have a special cone that is in the shape of a bowl but made out of waffle! The waffle bowls are made right at the counter, ensuring that your cones are always crisp and fresh! We could honestly go on and on about Arcata Scoop forever! Today Nila got the delicious Cookies & Cream in a waffle bowl and Ceylon got their classic Honey Vanilla Lavender also in a waffle bowl! If you ever happen to find yourself in Arcata, California make sure to take a visit!

A Love for Anne Hathaway

We already have quite a deep love for Anne Hathaway (as we write this we are currently watching Ella Enchanted )  so when we found these photographs by Marcus Piggott and Mert Alas you can't imagine how excited we were! We absolutely love their use of lace and dark contrasts to make these photographs dramatic and stunning. If you haven't seen these already, I hope you enjoy them as much as we do!!!!

Discovery of the Day!

So as we were driving to ice cream, doing our usual radio scanning, we happened to come across a song we had never heard before. Our first reaction was that it was a mix between Katy Perry and Ke$ha, but listening closer we knew it wasn't one of them. We were so curious that we looked it up and found it to be none other than Taylor Swift?!! Indeed, Taylor Swift's new single is out!!!! It's called "We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together" and we give it ★★★★ (out of five)

Take a listen!

So Taylor... are we ever getting back together?!

Thursday Night Sushi

This summer, we both have been traveling all over, so tonight we decided we were both in need of some sushi!!! We are so lucky to have this wonderful little sushi restaurant called Sushi Spot in Arcata, making it impossible to ever get enough of their fabulous sushi! And to make everything even better, our wasabi was decorated with lavender! Couldn't get any better.

Why, hello!

Bonjour!
We are Ceylon (left) and Nila (right), two best friends from Arcata, California who enjoy everything from drinking tea on a rainy day to watching Audrey Hepburn movies with our dogs. We love photography, roses, the ocean, watercolor, Ceylon's cat Phil, Simon and Garfunkel, red lipstick, the redwoods, pretty dresses, ice cream and everything vintage. Although starting a blog is a new experience to us, we are going to give it our all, and hopefully you will have as much fun as we will have!
