ALIEN NATION  

Our recent trip to Roswell got us thinking about perception. Neither of us can see without glasses, so the world is fuzzy for both of us-- metaphorically and actually. When we don’t wear our glasses, what’s outside comes closer and the lines between the “self” and “other” blur.

What we see, and by extension, define as alien to us is dependent upon the lens we’re using. If we continue to see the world in terms of “us” and “them,”  or  “friend” and “foe,” we will continue to create separation and enmity.

Of course, it’s not that simple, and boundaries are inevitable, but we like to imagine that we could create something beyond a nation of aliens. It’s a tall order, to be sure, but we think we’re up for it. Are you?

XO,
A+ D

P.S. Have you heard about Haven Con?! It's an LGBTQIA geek/gamer conference and the beautiful brainchild of Shane Brown. We had such a great time playing, we felt right at home, and we didn't want to leave. Can't wait for HavenCon 4!

Styled x SIGNY: TOBI  

We’re seriously obsessed with rompers and jumpsuits. We’re embarrassed to say how many we have between us (you’ll have to buy us more wine first, babe!) but we will say that our closets are a bit…crowded.

We love to pair rompers with a fabulous pair of heels, a gorgeous lacy bra, and a few killer pieces of jewelry, but they also make perfect bikini cover-ups after a day at the lake.

Enjoy this romp through the Austin sunset with us, then visit TOBI styled x SIGNY to stock up for your summer adventures. You’ll get 50% off your first order, and if you’re anything like us, you know you need new shorts, tanks, and dresses too. Get to work, beauty! ;)


Currently Wearing: 
Amy: By The Sea Romper | Front of the Line Pinstripe Jumpsuit | Rose in Paradise Gauze Romper 
Delaney: Brielle Cut Out Jumpsuit | Bettie Cut Out High Neck Romper | Another Level Tiered Wide Leg Jumpsuit

Enjoy this carefully curated playlist and romp away!

SXSIGNY: SIGNY Does SXSW 

"Rip the cage out of your chest
Let the chaos rule the rest”
-Massive Attack

Oh, yes babes. Surrender. Let the music and the crowds take you and wake you. Get shaken up. Be illuminated. Let the flood of people flow and then enjoy the ebb. We did. We are. Here are some of our favorite moments:

Images courtesy of Yana Kushner, Alex Freeman, and SIGNY.
And we couldn't leave you without a top 10 list of things we learned this year at SXSW 2016!

  1. Walter at Lucy in Disguise is a genius.
  2. It’s impossible to pee when your jumpsuit is safety-pinned together and you’re wearing a cape. 
  3. Don’t ever kick Jimmy’s light cans. Or whine about how your keyboard isn’t working so you can’t play your new songs. You know who you are! 
  4. Honey St. Claire is a commanding, glorious goddess. 
  5. Carrying pianos, stands and misc. electro jizz down two flights of stairs, then up three blocks in high heels after an hour of jumping around in those high heels is hard. Good thing people want to help you. 
  6. It’s hard to drink water when there’s coffee. It’s harder when there’s wine.
  7. Moonshine on Red River is an oasis of goodness and the Berkeley House Salad with chicken is LIFE. 
  8. KITTEN is fucking amazing live. 
  9. Seeing your friend succeed is the best thing ever. 
  10. It’s impossibly fun when there are two of you!
Now, enjoy this carefully curated playlist of our SXSW faves.  
XO, 
A+D

Top of the World 

Location: Griffith Observatory Deck, Los Angeles, CA
Photographer: Chad Elder

“The cosmos is all that is or ever was or ever will be. Our feeblest contemplations of the Cosmos stir us & there is a tingling in the spine, a catch in the voice, a faint sensation, as if a distant memory, or falling from a height. We know we are approaching the greatest of mysteries.”
-Carl Sagan

For as long as we can remember, we’ve been gazing at the stars. What can we say?! We’re dreamers. We’d each lived in LA, but neither of us had ever been to the top of the park. So we sequined and sparkled up and decided to find out what was up there. It was a grey day, but the rain held off just long enough...

Amy: Faux Leather Crop Top Forever 21 | Faux Snakeskin Pants Similar | Sequined Jacket Vintage | Boots NastyGal

Sequins, Skee-ball, and SIGNY -- Happy New Year, babes! 

Location: Pinballz Arcade, Austin, TX
Photographer: Sousous Photography by Yana Kushner

It’s time to dream big. Take a deep breath. Honor what’s no longer working in your life, and then let it go if that's what feels right. Start taking small steps toward the things you love. Take in more of the good stuff. Breathe more and be more. DO more.

We’re done making lists that measure our imperfections. We’re ready to celebrate the best things and come clean about the rest. 

Happy, happy, sparkling, sequined New Year, babes! We can’t wait to share it all with you.

Friends are the family that you choose yourself, and we are so lucky to be partners in crime! We’d done the solo music thing for awhile, but it wasn't till we joined forces that we started making magic. Plus, grinding it out together is so much FUN! We pick each other up when we’re down and love every moment of this crazy, beautiful partnership. Grab your babe and give a shout of thanks for all the joy you bring to each others lives. Happy Friendsgiving!

The Last Unicorns - Halloween 2015 

Photographer: Sousous Photography by Yana Kushner
Location: Circle C Metropolitan Park, Austin, Texas

“Unicorns are immortal. It is their nature to live alone in one place: usually a forest where there is a pool clear enough for them to see themselves-for they are a little vain, knowing themselves to be the most beautiful creatures in all the world, and magic besides. They mate very rarely, and no place is more enchanted than one where a unicorn has been born. The last time she had seen another unicorn the young virgins who still came seeking her now and then had called to her in a different tongue; but then, she had no idea of months and years and centuries, or even of seasons. It was always spring in her forest, because she lived there, and she wandered all day among the great beech trees, keeping watch over the animals that lived in the ground and under bushes, in nests and caves, earths and treetops. Generation after generation, wolves and rabbits alike, they hunted and loved and had children and died, and as the unicorn did none of these things, she never grew tired of watching them.” ― Peter S. Beagle, The Last Unicorn

Happy Halloween,

You + Me + A Good Book = Perfection

Curling up with a good book is one of our favorite pastimes. And, since vintage and analog are two of the best words, we adore books made of  actual paper and glue. One of the cutest bookstores ever is SoCo Books on south Congress. They have a beautifully curated collection of gently used and rare collectibles, and an online shop that lets you browse from anywhere. Mmmm. That old book smell. Can anyone say "introverts"?!

Ignis Fatuus 

"It is yet the lure, the ignis fatuus of almost every breathing heart." - The "Genius" T. Dreiser
"The only solitude is sleep or death." Ignis Fatuus Charles Bukowski

Photography: Sousous Photography by Yana Kushner
Location: Mexican American Cultural Center

Ignis Fatuus and the Wil O' the Wisp
we wrap ourselves in death 
and walk to the edge of the frame.
we hover, 
phosphorescent and foolish, 
constructing each breath
from methane and decay.
slight of hand makes us two. 
a mask dims our eyes.
black is the ground; black is the sky.
