Meet The Method Men

We have been a little obsessed with Method soap. It isn't always easy to find a product that works great, is well-designed AND is doing good in the world, but here it is. We asked Adam and Eric, the founders, to sit down with us and tell us all about their selves and their new product that is made from trash from the ocean. You can buy it at Whole Foods and at methodhome.com. We love the manly grey of this bottle, lots of handsomeness going on in this video ;) Thank you to Method for being a great sponsor. We love working with you guys and gals! For more info on Method's ocean plastic project check this link out.

"Clean Happy" Song

Brooke and I had so much fun writing this song and making this video for Method. There aren't too many brands that we get this excited about, and no other cleaning brands! We love you Method, thanks for being fabulous, and thanks for sponsoring The Girls With Glasses Show.

Meet our Team - Tiffany

Hello everyone! I think you'll be really excited for this new blog feature we are starting. Brooke and I aren't a two woman show, it takes a small group of very talented people to make The Girls With Glasses show run as smooth and pretty as it does. We thought it'd be fun to feature a different member of our team each month and give them a shout out for all their hard work that makes us look good!

Today we'd like to introduce you to Tiffany, our new media maven. She's gorgeous, but more importantly, she brings her writing, blogging, social media, developing campaigns, and design work to The Girls With Glasses Show. We can't say enough about her!

What's your role with Girls with Glasses?

I'm the new media maven on the team, meaning I work behind the scenes to manage the Girls with Glasses blog, twitter, Facebook and Pinterest accounts - So little did you know a lot of the posts you see are actually me! Hah!

Hometown?

Idaho Falls, Idaho, but I currently live in Provo, Utah.

Where did you go to school?

I recently graduated from BYU with a bachelors degree in communications, and my emphasis was multimedia journalism.

Do you have a blog?
I do! It's www.totiffanyann.com.

What inspires you?

I took a floral design class at BYU and have been in LOVE with flowers ever since. I thought flowers were nice before, but now I crave fresh flowers in my room and home all the time. In fact, our neighbor's rosebush has overgrown into our yard and on occasion I'll snip a few rogue roses and place them in a mason jar (don't tell). Seriously you guys, go buy yourself a batch of flowers and you tell me how quickly you can't live without them.

I also love organizing and decorating my space. I live with five roommates right now and you can't always guarantee cleanliness and organization in a living space like that, but my room is all mine. I've got the perfect comforter, beautiful prints, old cameras and even little glass knobs for the drawers on my dresser. If you love your space, inspiration will come on the daily.

Tell us some of your dreams/goals/aspirations:
I went to Paris a couple summers ago and would love to go back. There are other places I'd like to visit of course, but there was just so much to see in Paris; The Eiffel Tower, the Louvre, the Musee d'Orsay, the Seine River, Notre Dame - the few days I was there couldn't do it justice!

My dream job would be doing behind-the-scenes marketing (writing, blogging, social media, developing campaigns, some design work - basically what I'm doing for GWG) job for some big name company like Anthropologie, Target, Dove, etc. For now though I'm looking for a full time job in the Provo/Salt Lake area. So if you know of anything let me know! totiffanyann@gmail.com.

Have a lovely day!

Girls With Glasses Makeup Tip #2

Brooke and I love our little cat eyes, especially when we are filming the show. These two tips today are specific for getting that perfect look. We almost always are wearing false eyelashes, but when your not, most lashes could use a little pick me up, with an eyelash curler. Brooke shares her favorite two brands. I am all about the liner. Not being a pro, the NYX eye marker helps get you a smooth line, without needing years of experience. Hope you enjoy.

Our Favorite New Albums.

Isn't it the best when you find an album you can listen to all the way through and love every song? Well, we thought we'd share a few of our favorite summer albums we've been keeping on repeat.
We guarantee you'll love every track:

The Beachboys, "That's Why God Made The Radio"

That's right. The Beachboys have released a new album. No, you haven't traveled back in time, although it might feel like you have while listening to this.

Brandi Carlile, "Bear Creek"

For music with an Americana feel, a powerful female voice and lyrics that will rock your world check out Brandi Carlile's new album.

Edward Sharpe and The Magnetic Zeros, "Here"

You may remember this band with their hit single, "Home." Well, they're back! This album will cheer you up on even the rainiest, dreariest summer day.

Meiko, "The Bright Side"

We love Meiko, an incredibly talented singer/songwriter who just released her second record. Sophomore albums don't always live up to the artist's debut, but she has succeeded in releasing another great album!

Jack and White, "Winter" and "Undercover"

Of course, we have to include Jack and White's latest EPs. They've been hard at work and have amazing things to show for it. Go take a listen!

What are your favorite summer albums right now?

The Girls With Glasses Glasses

You have asked us where we got our glasses from, so we thought we would tell you. Brooke is wearing "the host" from Mezzmer Eyewear and Summer is wearing "Heloise" from 3.1 Phillip Lim.

Summer Swimwear

We're all about the one piece suit this summer. One pieces are making a comeback, and why ever not? They remind us of the retro swimwear looks of the 1940's and 50's, which were super flattering. If you're a little hesitant, here are a few of our favorite one pieces this season. 

We would wear any of these in a heartbeat: 

1 2 3 4 5 6

Aren't they so much fun? So bright and lovely. 

PS That's right! Summer's pregnant with baby #2. You can read all about it here. 

What to Pack in your Hospital Bag When Having a Baby

There are a lot of lists on the popular pregnancy websites that are dedicated to everything you should bring for this big event. Each mom has to figure out what she thinks she needs and what she is going to skip. These are the four things that I was glad to have with me, and I think you will be glad too.
 Brooke and I are wearing clothes from H&M and the bag is from Ame & Lulu. 

The Method Hand Sanitizers come out next month, we will keep you updated.
They are so cute, can't wait to share!

Hope you guys are having a great day.

What We're Listening To

Our Girl with Glasses Brooke has been one busy lady!
Before having baby London this past week she and Jack cut an amazing new EP called Undercover: 

Have a listen over here. Isn't it perfect for all those upcoming road trips and late summer evenings with friends? Support Brooke and buy the album! {We know once you hear it you can't resist}

Brooke's A MOM!

We are really excited to congratulate Brooke and Dave on their bouncing baby girl! London was born yesterday evening and weighed a whopping 8 pounds and 12 ounces. Isn't she beautiful!

May Flowers

As you may remember from this video, we're pretty big fans of florals for spring, so we decided to find our favorite floral items and share them with you! While florals are traditionally designed in softer shades, this season it's all about the brights:

Motherhood

I have a beautiful one year old, and Brooke is weeks away from being a mom, we thought this would be the perfect time to talk about motherhood. My red dress is vintage, and it was a gift from my mom, so I thought it was especially fitting. What does motherhood mean to you?

We are excited to have a few of our favorite bloggers with us:

Jenny from Little Green Notebook

Erin from Design For Mankind

CJane from CJaneKendrick.com

Ashley from LittleMissMomma.com
Alex from avestyles.com

Happy Mother's Day to everyone out there.

Joy of Oh Joy is going to recycle her paper bags, in a very stylish and clever way. Natalie of Nat the Fat Rat is going to recycle all of her pop cans. Elaine of Clothed Much is going to use reusable totes while shopping. Brooke and Summer are going to change all their toxic cleaning products to Method products.

If the {Neon} Shoe Fits

We loved our neon shoes from the Spring into Fashion video so much, we thought they deserved their own moment in the spotlight! What do you think?

Neons are everywhere this spring, from shoes, belts and bracelets, to tees and jeans. 

What neon accents are you adding to your wardrobe this spring? Pics please!

Spring Into Fashion

Spring has sprung! In this video we talk about our favorite fashion trends for spring 2012.

Stripes for Springtime

Did you snag one of our gift bags at Alt Summit this year? 

Are you loving your oh-so-comfortable striped shirt we tossed in there? We are! 

Here are some quick tips for wearing stripes this spring:

Summer says:

• When wearing striped shirts in a casual setting simplicity is the best. In my second look I paired it with gold stud earrings, dark blue jeans and ballet flats.
• Stripes can be very nautical, to keep it looking fresh and current pair your striped shirt with unexpected colors and patterns.

Brooke says:

• Stripes are always a good idea! 
• Pair dark contrasting stripes such as navy and white, with pops of bright colors - pairs perfectly with neons this spring!
• Wear vertical stripes to lengthen and thin, and horizontal to accentuate curves... like a baby bump :) 

{If you weren't able to snag one of our gift bags, never fear! The striped shirt we are both wearing above can be purchased over here at stripedshirt.com}

St. Patrick's Day Fashion

It's St. Patrick's Day dontcha know! 

And you should be wearing green to avoid getting pinched. 

We've compiled some of our favorite green looks for today. Don't wear them all at once - that would be silly! But adding a pop of green to your outfit is sure to bring lots of luck.

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 

Are you wearing green today?
Be sure to blog about it and leave us a link below, or send us a pic on twitter!

Hope your day is filled with rainbows, pots of gold and lucky charms! 

happy birthday to you

Guess what? It's Summer's birthday!

As half of the Girls with Glasses dynamic duo and editor-in-chief of Eliza she is one impressive lady, 

so be sure to leave her a birthday-wish filled comment.

Party Planning 101

Our Altitude Design Summit party recap is finally here! 

You loved our party last year, so we had to make an even bigger impression this year.

How do you think we did?

For this year's Alt Summit we party planned with Pinhole Press. They were a fabulous company to pair with, because we love their products and they loved our ideas.

Capturing the event was the lovely Carolee Beckham. She is a talented photographer and such a blast to work with. To see more of the party attendees shot by Carolee, go here.

There was a lot of work to get this party to look as pretty as a picture. We started with the Paris theme. We had french macarons by Mercedes White. They were sublime. 

If you want to learn how to make your own, check out her site!

We had lots of French details - Big ones like the 10 foot Eiffel Tower, and little ones like our black and white umbrellas. {the photos below are from the Alt Summit Flickr}

We had a line wrapped down the hallway for our gift bags, which included adorable striped tees by Striped Shirt (Brooke and Summer love how comfy and flattering they are, pictures to come), chocolate from Godiva, a Jack and White EP, new Redken Power Grip 03, a Pinhole Press notebook, and more!

Flowers were done by Summer's talented cousin-in-law, Jamie Bellessa. We had simple greenery in our umbrella centerpieces and beautiful pale pink flowers in our flower cart.

We even talked the waitresses into letting us paint on the cutest little french mustaches!

It was an amazing night and we couldn't of done it without our amazing sponsor Pinhole Press and each member of our creative and hardworking team. Thanks again for an amazing night.
