On Cath: sweater, Target; belt, H&M; shirt, thrifted Helmet Lang; skirt, Limited; tights, Walgreens; shoes, Aldos.
On Lar (moi): pleather jacket, Express; tee, belt, boots, AE; jeans, Earnest Sewn; necklace, c/o Novica.
So Cath and I lived together for most of college and post-college, but for the last nine months we’ve lived <gasp>.<sob>.seven minutes away from each other. I hate it.
Oh, and we even work about five minutes apart. But somehow we see very little of each other. We hang out maybe twice a week, and that’s only if we schedule it. That’s what we did last week. Date night for the AsianCajuns. Actually we kind of had two date nights (but one included the mens).
At our local bbq place Burnt Fork (god bless Southern food!!!):
(Below) My favorite new cocktail at Leon’s Full Service (in Decatur) called the Gutter Pop. I forget everything that’s in it, but I do know there is gin, gin and more gin, garnished with a peel of orange and a bit of clove. I love you, winter cocktail!
When we “grow up” Cath and I plan to live, if not next door to each other, in the same neighborhood. There is a chance that I might be moving outside of Atlanta for just a bit (my smartypants fiance is looking far a-field for postdoc employment). I haven’t told Cath yet, but she’s coming with us. I mean, 2-3 years living more than 10 minutes apart- possibly even an ocean apart!- unfathomable. Kitcath, I hope you don’t mind 😉
ps- A wedding update to come soon! Remember those bookshelves I was talking about? Yeah, two thirds of all the books? Now covered in white paper. Woot, woot!
I just had a date night with my sister tonight too! I find them super important and yummy! Anywho, love the mustard cardigan!
Can’t wait to learn more about the wedding!
You guys are so cute and it’s great that you guys get along so well. I can’t wait to see the wedding update, I’m sure the library looks amazing!
You girls look Great as usual ! Lar, I Love your necklace and jacket. I have been on a leather jacket kick for awhile now as you can tell from my last couple of outfit posts lol. Cath, I Really love that sweater ! I recently got a bright colored lace top from VS that reminds me of this Great sweater. My purchase was inspired by you. My sister lives about 15 minutes away from me and we have a hard time scheduling things too. Life is just so busy sometimes. Sorry for the long comment. Hope you girls are having a great week.
Cute outfits girls!
I wish I could have date nights with my sisters but we all live in different states. I am glad you guys get to live so close to each other.
wahh! you’ve successfully made me miss my sisters!
Both of you look great!
Awww, now I miss my little bro! Haha. And I really have an intense craving for a pulled pork sandwich.
Gah, you both look so fabulous. I’d steal either look in a heartbeat!
I sometimes used to wish I had a sister I could do secret fun things with and play dress up with. but i had a brother and we ended up playing videogames, and now we have 2 hour long conversations every other Sunday. It’s nice, but it’s not having a sister. You are so lucky.
GUESS WHAT, I did the messy bun from your tutorial today. I’m so pleased with it!
Xx{ish.},
Mae Lu, @ thereafterish.
Yay! I’ve gotten a lot of my friends to try the messy bun look and they love it. I’ll be pulling my hair up in a messy bun tomorrow since i don’t feel like washing my hair tonight 🙂
With so many distractions in the modern world, it’s become even easier than ever for families, especially siblings, to become distant. It is SO heartening and beautiful for us to see the two of you grow even closer with the passing of time. I love everything about how you two approach this blog, and approach life.
Cath, really cute outfit! Would totally wear! 🙂
Wedding post soon, please! Hehe.
That really sounds like a fun time, I need to adopt this date night with my own sister. And I LOVE your pleather jacket!
Is Cath wearing the Rodarte for Target lace cardigan? I love how it brightens up her outfit. And you look so casual cute–love how the rich brown tone of your belt and boots ties the look together.
Hehe Lar, your moving dilemma reminds me of that episode of Friends where Chandler describes his vision of married life to Monica and talks about a house in the suburbs with an apartment over the garage where Joey can grow old. You need a garage apartment for your twin!
I would totally live in a garage apartment that Lar and her man owned!
And yes, the cardi is Rodarte for Target – good eye!
I’m not a twin, but I too lived with my sister for 6 months, until my wedding and then I got a new room mate (my husband). Now she lives 5 provinces away while she goes to school. it’s BRUTAL. Sigh. Sister-date-nights rock, I miss them.

You guys are so cute. And that pulled pork looks amazing! Can’t wait for more wedding updates:)
you gals look soooo cute. I really wish I had a twin now. Or a clone. Maybe a clone. The food looks fantastic. OH MY, pulled pork is just like mana from heaven every single time I eat it. It’s THAT good. 🙂 And huzzah oh getting so many books covered! I can’t wait to see how goooooooooooooood your library looks!
btw Cath: THANK YOU for referring me to Seth Godin. His videos and concepts are fantastic and very informational. Thanks!!
looks like you had a nice nights. thanks for sharing these photos. i like what you’re wearing as well
hope you’re both having a good week
