"Are you twins?"

"Are you twins?"

 "Nope! But we get it all the time..."

"Sisters, then...right?"

"Nope."

"Then you have to be roommates, at least!"

...Really?

Ooh yeah, that actually happened. Though that was a special scenario, we have been asked if we're twins so often that we decided to just go with it and be fake twins- Two of a Kinda! We have so much in common anyway...and we do kinda look like it.

 Allow us to introduce ourselves.

 We are Kelsey and Lindsey, a couple of super girly girls that were both born and raised in Cedar Rapids, Iowa. Kelsey is a fabulous hair and make up artist and Lindsey is the designer and seamstress behind her very own clothing label, Skimpily Clawd. Among many other things, we share love for polka dots, purple, hot pink lipstick, Betsey Johnson jewelry, mani/pedis, and shoes! lots of shoes! We discovered we wear the same scent ('Daisy' by Marc Jacobs), and we are known to show up to wearing very similar outfits when we didn't plan it (and sometimes when we do!). Maybe we were separated at birth!  If only our moms had arranged a playdate for us when they were in Tupperware together...we could have been fake twinnies this whole time!

Look! It's Miley! In Kelsey's Salon!

Anyway, about a month ago now-- is it exactly a month? Wow, time flies!--Well a month ago Kelsey decided to leave the mid-west for bigger and better things! She now calls Brooklyn, New York her home and is working alongside celebrity stylists at Gemini 14. And how perfect for the gal who was born on June 14th (June.. 14th... Gemini..14..eh?...eh??)! You'll have to excuse my(Lindsey) dorky sense of humor.

Though we now have 1,000 miles between us, we still talk to each other almost daily and swap advice and tips. I recently got the idea that we should start co-writing a blog together where we both get to share our areas of expertise with others! You can expect a lot fashion, beauty, and hair talk as well as documentation of our shopping and shoe obsessions. I'm sure there will also be boy talk: Kelsey, about her exciting OkCupid scenarios and other random "meet-cutes", and Lindsey, about her boyfriend of 2+ years that is (according to Kelsey) "the only straight guy who's fashion advice I actually respect". Aand whatever else we want to talk about and show you pictures of! So stay tuned!
