Tristin + Tyler's Threads: Hey Grey!

heygray2

It's time to shed the layers and transition to Spring! I am excited, but you know as well as I do that there are still a few chilly weeks ahead (today it was 20 degrees out, by the way) so we are easing our way into Spring with Tristin in a few key pieces in a grey color scheme, and we've included some our fave picks like these paint-splattered sweats by Munster that we got thanks to our pals at Babesta. I also love pairing a tee with a heavier jacket, like this one from Zara to get the last few wears out of it before the weather breaks. What do you think of grey? I try not to associate colors with a season, but I think most people think of grey as a Winter color. Do you? I honestly wear it all year round (as us New Yorker's usually do with black), especially when cool pieces like this Vicarious Clothing tee are involved! Do you agree or no? xo, Tiffany

Peg+Cat_Pond_FINAL_FORABOUT

Being the creative gal that I am, I love getting a sneak peek into how other creatives make their art come alive, so I was super excited to head to Brooklyn with Tristin and Tyler and go behind the scenes of the PBS Kids series PEG + CATIn a world where most kids don't like math, or they think of it as boring, Peg + Cat takes math to a whole different level with upbeat storytelling, beautifully composed music, fun problem-solving and a friendship between a girl and her cat that will make you wish your cat could talk! I will say no more! Meet the team behind Peg + Cat in the latest episode of "What's Up, City Kid?"

Madison's Favorite Easter Suit

madisonlm2

Yep, I'm talking about Easter. It's a few weeks away. I feel like it was a week ago when I made boys bunny ears last Easter.

When I was little Easter was all about going to church and then getting books. I was (and still am) a big reader, so instead of a basket full of candy, I would LOVE to get up in the morning and see my basket full of new books. I'm such a geek, huh? Well, my niece Madison is no geek, she loves to read too but is super stylish, totally straight forward and she loves to run around and get her hands dirty whether she is cooking or crafting. For Easter, she definitely needs a pants suit so she can roll around and do what ever she wants but stil look gorgeous! I am in love with this suit from La Miniatura and her headband by Love My Alannah.  The suit looks good and was so comfortable for her. What do you think? Do you love girls in suits? I do! By the way, you'll be seeing more of Madison around these here parts, so get ready because she is one stylish little mama!

Tristin + Tyler's Weekend Picks: 3.6.15

the weekend 3,6,15We are so excited it's March already, that means Spring is really on the way! Im in the process of trying to lose some weight so I am not rushing Spring at all, but the boys can't wait to get outside, ride their bikes and hang with friends. Today is my husband's birthday, we are so excited! The boys made the cutest cards for him. He works on the weekends so I am hoping we get to spend some time with him outdoors in the next few days but, if all else fails, we'll definitely try to make our own version of this treat I loved as a kid with Jello, the boys will rock their favorite boots EVER and we're gonna see what all the hype is about on this new kids app. Hope you try these fun ideas along with us!

Oh, and if you haven't already, please SUBSCRIBE to our YOUTUBE Channel, we are about to really get our video on again and we want YOU along for the ride! HAPPY WEEKEND!

DocMarten-4399
You know we are HUGE fans of Dr. Martens boots, Tristin and Tyler literally rock their boots ALL the time, so we were SO excited to be asked to host the launch event for Dr. Martens collaboration with the Cartoon Network series Adventure Time! The limited edition boots, for both adults and children, include three designs featuring the series characters: one pair with Finn the human, one pair with Jake the dog and a final pair (my personal favorite) with both characters, and I hear more designs are on the way! Tristin and Tyler were ecstatic to host the event at Citibabes. With a huge play space, tacos and a surprise appearance from Finn and Jake, the party rocked for hours! Check out our recap video and event photos below, and make sure to get the Adventure Time boots HERE and SUBSCRIBE to our YouTube Channel here!
