She's in love with the world... but sometimes these feelings can be so misleading

Here's my outfit from the night of being out and about! It was raining, but Heather and I had decided on being semi-fancy, so here was my result. Green shirt, necklace, plaid rain jacket, grey skirt, nude fishnets, and the most amazing flat boots of all time. All of that, minus the boots, came from Target!





Here is my skeptical face regarding Heather's camera skills. 





These boots! I got them for $20 when the original price was $230. It is really soft leather, and they are perfect. Slouchy, but not too slouchy. Cowboy-esque without being over the top. They're wonderful. I love them.

Busy Like Bees

Hey Guys, 


Just a quick update to let you know that we're not dead. Heather and Dave just bought their first house on Tuesday! Therefore, they have been spending all of their time working on their house to get it in tip-top shape. I have been in school all week and working loads, and somewhere in between trying to get schoolwork done. 


Heather and I both saw each other tonight, but we were so tired that all we wanted to do was sit on the floor and talk. Plus, I was in my work uniform, and she was in pajamas. However, we have decided that Monday, we are starting afresh and wearing fabulous clothes again. No slacking! 

Until next time, my dears.

"..and wear you like the crown that you are."

Oh,hey ya'll! Heather here. Tonight you get to learn a bit more of the night of our Starbuckian adventure!If you're wondering about the Title of this post: it's from Youth in Revolt,which we went to see earlier that evening. I can't get that line outta my head!

Anywho, I would like to introduce you to my baby <3 ...my husband that is. His name is Dave...an he is the one who suggested we go to Starbucks.




FUNNY FACE!



Blue Steel.Kind of.



Now, it was a dark and stormy night.Ok, so maybe not stormy...but rainy. And it just so happened I had scored this umbrella earlier in the day at my favorite thrift mart!So I brought it along....and Becky decided to knight David with it. She declared him Sir Eric.I have no idea why,but it was hilarious! And look at how excited he was!!!

...And how oddly bored Becky looks...

p.s. you will see better pics of why this umbrella is amazing in a later post!





RAWR!




Dave describes his daily style as 'chill',but when it comes right down to it he would wear nothing but suits and spiffy menswear if he could afford that many well-tailored things. As it is, he enjoys t-shirts and well-worn jeans,Vans/and/or/Chucks(he has at least 7 pairs of these type of shoes),hoodies and warm coats.He also likes to wear beer-logo caps,much to my chagrin....He has wonderfully curly hair...but I think I love it more than him,lol.
Anyways,enough swooning. I can do that more when we get a pic of him all dolled up;)





To sum up: go see Youth in Revolt.Unless you are easily offended. I,personally, loved it.It felt like they were presenting things the way overly imaginative people(like me) see their lives...instead of the boring old way things really go down...and the colorless way people really talk.Not the best movie ever...but it was funny,and it spoke to me,and I just love Michael Cera.So there.

Now,Please stay tuned for some more random pics:



Wunder-Twins UNITE!






Kickin our feets up at the theater.

This is Hayley. Isn't she super cute? 






She's a talented photographer that recently moved to Huntsville with her husband, Shawn (more on him later). Check out their neat website here







She can also be a little bit silly... which may be part of the reason that we get along so well. 






Her outfits always seem to rock. On this particular night, she had a 50's pin-up meets quirky girl outfit on: polka dots, wide  belt, and amazing patent heels. Love at first sight? I think so.


















Even though this shot is a little blurry, you can still see the fabulosity of these shoes (I need them!).








Really, though, I think Hayley makes her outfits rock so much because of her confidence. Look at how fierce she is in this shot!



















More pictures to come from this night. Much style was to be had. We were going to venture out into the night to take a few shots, but it was raining and Dave decided Starbucks sounded better than rain, and so the tale of this night began. Hint: there is an amazing thrift score that will be revealed. 

No, Heather is not going to let Becky do all the talking.

I'm finally going to introduce myself! So Hai:)Nice to meet you!
I figured I would some throwback shots as my intro, and then when more photos get uploaded from tonight I can ramble some more!



**Pants:Hot Topic**
**Shirt: Fort Lauderdale...random beachfront shop**
**Shoes:My favoritest Chucks.Duh.**

As you are sure to learn, I have a thing for interesting leg adornments(such as stripey pants and tights)and mixmatching patterns that don't really go(except on me,they do.)and using lots of parentheses. Anyhoo,this shot is from early spring of 08. It was one of my favorite shots of the day..but it wasn't really a fashion shoot. It was a day of random picture taking for an album that my BFF and I never quite ended up making. (however you can check out what little bit of it actually happened at www.myspace.com/bananacoke)

*****************






This is from a photoshoot a few weeks ago. Excuse the low quality pics, the good camera wasn't working so these are from a digital point'n'shoot.
**Top: By ME!
**
**Jacket: Unknown,Thrift Score**
**Pants: Xhilaration,Target**
**Shoes:Target**
**Belt: Walmart(no,really!)**

come back soon for shots from tonight's adventure!

Any Given Thursday


So, Thursday marked the beginning of our decision to photograph our outfits to share with the world. Just prior to this, we were thrifting and found a few thrift scores! 



Here is an artsy shot. In trying to find the right setting to capture the beautiful sunset (which, unfortunately, I never did), I ended up with this picture, and I thought it was downright cool.
 

I love to shoot from interesting angles, and I kind of like this angle. 



I also really love it when ladies with a lot of hair have it mussed all around their head, it's like a halo, but earthy. 



Unfortunately, this is a face that I make quite frequently. I love that my socks were aqua and my shoes fuschia. I did not realize it until I was looking at all of these pictures!



Here is another view of Heather's awesome purple-inspired outfit. Note the piece of straw in her boot, leftover from our frolic.



See! We did lots of frolicking. 



The lining of this jacket = love.



This is such a typical Heather pose! Check out her awesome sunglasses. Thrift score!



Here are my super awesome Lego man earrings. They are definitely crowd-pleasers; men especially dig them. I made them myself, from my little brother's Lego men. He still hasn't realized they've gone missing. 




This hooded scarf is another thrift score. Heather and I decided to go halfsies on it, because quite honestly, our lives would not be complete without it. Also, the sweet granny glasses were a thrift score. More about this when I divulge my fashion concept for spring 2010.






Our super cool duck friend! He was a little bit strange, but he liked eating pieces of our bananas. I salute you, cool duck friend. 



Hello, World.

Becky = upside down
Heather = sunglasses

Hey everyone! Come Hither, Grandma is the spontaneous brainchild of Heather and I (Becky). Let me tell you a story about how this wonderful madness all came about.

Today, Heather and I had a much-needed girls’ day. We went to our favorite thrift store and were wandering the aisles, talking about nothing and everything all at once. Heather and her wonderful husband, Dave, have just purchased a house, and I made a comment about a piece of furniture that would go well into our so-called Trifecta House. Then Heather says, “Yeah, if we lived together, I think that we should take pictures of each others’ outfits and put them on a blog like everyday.” I respond with, “Heather… we could do that right now!” And thus was born the idea of our style blog. However, the problem of naming the blog arose. Heather and I had gone to a park nearby and were eating Nutella and bananas and talking to the ducks and decided to snap a few pictures of our outfits. Whilst the photography was taking place, Heather told me, “Give me your grandma bedroom eyes. Come hither, Grandma!” at which I screamed, “That’s it! That’s the name!”. And so Come Hither, Grandma was born.

Our aim? To provide you, the reader, with our outfits. Granted, there are days where we feel that pajamas are the only clothing allowed, or icky work days with icky work uniforms. But all other days are up for grabs! You may also find random insights into our minds, questions, comments, other peoples’ outfits – it’s a free-for-all. So get ready for the awesomeness that is about to rock your world. Outfit shots will be appearing over the weekend. See ya soon!


Becky (and Heather, in spirit)
