Photoshoot of "The Classics"









Saturday couldn't have been a better day. The sun was shining, it was warm out and our models and hair stylist and make up artist were fantastic. Seriously, it was perfect.
Thanks to Sofi, Nicole, Mari, Cristina, and Juana for doing a great job modeling. Thank you to Gaby and Azul for making them beautiful (not that they already weren't). We all had so much fun and can't wait to do it again. To see the rest of the pictures from the shoot, check out our facebook page or our flickr page.

Spotted...Alex

Here is our good friend Alex at a Best Buddies event wearing an A(Squared) + M t-shirt. We know Alex from school and she has followed A(Squared) + M since the very beginning, and always supported us. We really appreciate it Alex!

Make It Work

We are getting ready for tomorrow--our first photo shoot. And we are beyond excited. We spent the day buying snacks for our models (Sofi, Mari, Cristina, Nicole, and Alexa) and supplies for our hairstylists and make-up artist (Azul and Gaby), all friends from school. We are going to shoot next to a carousel and on the beach. We're hoping we won't run into any problems considering all the traffic from the Sony Ericsson Open.

On that note, how sexy is Novak Djokovic?
Yeah, we thought we should share that bit of beautifulness with you.

Anyways, back to our day. We encountered a bit of difficulty after we bought all of the supplies. For some reason we decided it would be nice to walk to the store--bad idea. We ended up having to lug a ton of food and a pack of 24 water bottles. That's when we noticed we weren't as fit as we thought we were.

Ale, rockin' the Quasimoto look.
When we got home, we started setting up the possible jackets, shorts, pants, and shoes to use for the shoot. While setting up, we jammed to:
The good ol' standby, Shakira.
Passion Pit (wishing we were at Ultra)
The Strokes
Frank Sinatra
Girl Talk
We ended the night by making Ale paint our nails and watching everybody's favorite movie for the 12413854257th time--The Hangover.
Expect more updates really soon (as in tomorrow) about the photoshoot.

It's all so exciting...

Because spring break (finally) starts tomorrow, and because I stayed home sick (wayyy too much time spent on the computer), I decided to put somethings that I'm really excited about.

this picture is from here

All the blogs that I've been reading are all so excited that it's finally warm out. We live in Miami, where spring doesn't really exist. Seasons are just a technical term referring to the color palettes of our wardrobes. So I'm just as excited as the next blogger to bring out the brightly colored dresses and open toed heels.


That's the city of Omaha, Nebraska, where I will go for a week this spring break. I know what you're thinking, what's in Omaha? And the answer is…our good friend Macy! Macy was an exchange student at our school last October and she lived with me. I cannot wait to see her…and Omaha.


Today while watching a marathon of first season Real Housewives of New York City, I saw a commercial for a special on Bravo TV with Christian Siriano. It's called "Christian Siriano: I'm having a moment" and it opens with "I've lost all my friends, all I ever do is make clothes." Do you realize how excited I am for this? I don't even have the words to describe how much I love Christian Siriano. I cannot wait to see him in action once again. So I spent a good amount of the day pretending that I could actually afford half of the things on Net-a-Porter. I feel in love with these shoes. Usually my style is very formal, and I don't like quirky or weird or out-there things, but I just couldn't help myself—these shoes are so cool. I've already found ways to incorporate them into my wardrobe. Obviously I'm not excited for these shoes, because, um, I'll never be able to own them, but I can't stop thinking about them so I thought I'd put them up there.

You know what you should be excited for? We are having a photoshoot this weekend for
A(Squared) + M. Expect a lot of updating.

Style File from Dani...Summer Look

Dani, a good friend of ours and the first person to purchase an A(Squared) + M t-shirt, did a style file of her own!

My favorite place to shop is Dani's closet. Her style is artsy-meets-preppy-vintage. This style file shows how Dani likes to wear her A(Squared) + M t-shirt.

1. T-shirt by A(Squared) + M
2. Sunglasses by Marc Jacobs
3. Hat by Jcrew
4. Necklace by House of Harlow
5. Blazer by Shopbop
6. Shoes by Jcrew
7. Jeans by Current Elliot

Because of a lot of school-related stress, there is nothing that I crave more than a relaxed look like this one. Just looking at that hat gets me excited for summer! It's definately on my list of spring essentials.

Mamie

101 fans on Facebook!

As of yesterday, we have 101 fans on Facebook! We decided to celebrate by going to My Yogurt Bliss, this new frozen yogurt place that everyone has been talking about.

It was actually amazing. Definately our new favorite place for an after school snack. It's all self-serve and they have non-tart and tart yogurts so there's a little something for everyone. Then you can literally put all the toppings you could possibly imagine. This is a picture of Alex's. It's a mixture of cake batter and red velvet frozen yogurt with cookie dough, captain crunch, sprinkles, hot fudge, and m&ms. It sounds like a diabetic nightmare...but it was delicious.

Lessons for next time:
1. Don't go overboard with the frozen yogurt, instead go overboard with the toppings.
2. Stick to similar flavors--Mamie literally put everything she saw and ended up with fruity pebbles, coconut, red velvet and cookie dough. Not the best combination
