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

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

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 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
Hello, World.
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)
