Tristin + Tyler Featured On: The Meredith Vieira Show!

Happy Holidays, friends! We were so excited to be invited to the Meredith Vieira Show this week to chat about cool ways to spice up gift wrapping for the holiday season! From using black craft paper to chalk it up, to getting messy with confetti, the boys got a chance to show Meredith how they ROCK the holiday season! Meredith was really great to work with, as were all of her entire team of producers who put the show together. What an great experience this was for us. Not only do the boys continue to learn and grow from each television experience, like this one and this one, they get more and more greatful for the opportunities and THAT, my friends, is what I love most!

Please check out our segment below!! If you don't see the video, CLICK HERE to see it and feel free to share and if you do any of the craft ideas, let us know via social media and tag us with @tristinandtyler!

What's Up, City Kid! Episode 1 - Holiday Market Shopping!

Plants that grow in a cork? Donuts with lavender sugar? We met and interviewed some really innovative small business owners at the Urban Space NYC Holiday Market in Union Square last weekend!  We are huge supporters of small businesses because we love to spread the word about people who are following their dreams like we are. We've been sharing small business stories since the boys were 5 years old! 

Have you heard of Urban Space NYC? They set up shopping markets all around NYC. Just in time for the holidays, we headed to the Union Square market and checked out some really cool gift ideas from some super creative guys and gals! Need last minute holiday gift ideas? Take a look at our video HERE if you can't see it below and get inspired!  Please feel free to share via social media and tag us at @tristinandtyler so we can thank you for doing it!! HAPPY HOLIDAYS!

3 Ways to Wear Ruum's Velvet Blazer

Unfortunately, I don't have tons of cash to buy different holiday outfits for the boys to attend all of their holiday events, so I've turned to Ruum to help me out! We are big fans of their velvet blazer and we have been switching it up in more ways than one to make it work for different events. Tyler wore it in our Holiday Style Guide and Tristin wore it on the runway at Petite Parade. It looks so awesome dressed up or dressed down so we thought we'd share a few MORE ways your little guy can wear it. Above Tyler is casual in the blazer with a plain white tee and a small pop of color from the hat. 

Next up, Preppy Rocker: We like to break up classic-looking outfits with something different. With a button down, slim fit jeans and leather boots, the Preppy Rocker look is for the kid with a little edge! 

Shirt // Denim // Boot //

Cozy Cool: Add a cozy sweater and hat to an already cool look with Ruum denim and Sneakers, and you've switched up the blazer once again. Our Cozy Cool look is all about keeping warm, but adding interest with the patterns and textures in the sweater. Tyler thought this look was the most comfortable!

Jeans // Sweater // Sneaker

Which look is your favorite look? Do you have one piece that you like to switch up as much as possible?

Tristin + Tyler's Weekend Picks: 11.21.14

Happy Weekend!

It's a bit chilly here in NYC, so this week we are encouraging you to enjoy being inside!

FASHION: In anticipation of the holidays and our holiday style guide launching next week, (YAY!!!) we're all about bow ties. Our fave? Check out Stinky MCGee! Love that the brand satisfies our love for the planet by being locally made in Brooklyn and with unique designs and an easy to put on and take off closure, these accessories always make us smile! 

FOOD: We love Chop Chop magazine and enjoy trying out their fun recipes. Back when T&T were on the cover of the mag, Tyler got caught cracking up in this fun image with a delish parfait! You should try making it for breakfast. Easy, filling and the kids love it!

FUN:  We're probably going to be talking more about this App in the next coming months, but I had to tee it up to get you guys excited about it now! Check out Kid Quest, an app that encourages your kiddos to try new crafts, activities and fun experiments. We love it because the instructions our simple, the ideas are cool and as it gets colder, it's a great way to keep the kids busy indoors. 

As always, tag us with @tristinandtyler or #tristinandtyler in any social media images if you try any of our picks! xo

What's Cool: Playing with Food at Polarn O. Pyret

As you know, Tristin and Tyler LOVE to cook. They also love to eat, pretty much everything (!!) but I am big stickler on not allowing the boys to play with their food. Well, last weekend thanks to our friends at Swedish children's wear brand Polarn O. Pyret, we made a HUGE exception as we let kids get creative with healthy ingredients to launch Polarn O. Pyret's Festive Kitchen Collection. 

From adorable chef hats, aprons and clothing with animated healthy food characters, this collection will definitely inspire your little guy or gal to get in the kitchen and hopefully... eat their veggies! Definitely check out the collection and take a peek at how our friends at the event got creative! Even parents got in on the action! Does your kid like to cook? 

Tristin + Tyler's Weekend Picks: 11.14.14

Happy Weekend! Here's what we think you should do this weekend..no pressure!

FOOD:  Well, this weekend we're excited because Tristin + Tyler are hosting a fun food project at Polarn O. Pyret's Chambers Street store from 2-4pm! Polarn O. Pyret is launching awesome gear for kid chefs (the hats you see above and more) and we're excited to be there and craft with food! If you're nearby, join us at 299 Chambers Street.

FASHION: The boys are all about their Dr. Martens boots these days. This weekend try rocking yours, get some new ones or, if you missed our camo boots post, enjoy it here!

FUN: One of our FAVORITE exhibits is back in NYC till November 20th. Have you ever checked out Canstruction. This exhibit not only shows the amazing artistic skills of individuals who can basically craft anything out of cans of food, the exhibit is philanthropic because the food is donated to local hunger relief organizations at the end of the exhibition. Art that gives back. Love.

Well, there's our picks, make sure and tag us with @tristinandtyler in your photos if you take our advice and do, rock, or see any of our picks! We hope to see you this weekend! Come and play with your food with us!

Enjoy xx
