gold and i decided it was time to begin sharing our semi-glamorous lives with the rest of the world. we decided to jump on the bandwagon and start a blog.
our identities are secret, like international women of mystery. which we are.
combined, we have visited over 15 different countries and speak four languages. and we are still under 25.
that, and we are still students in two ivy league schools. which means we are poor. and our parents aren't helping, because, well, they are too busy paying for our premium and expensive educations.
the catch is that we are snobs. complete snobs. we adore travel, expensive clothes, luxury surroundings, and fine food. this blog is about us as we struggle in the transition from school to real world, and as we balance our love for the good life and our immeninent lack of funds. while some in our situations might take the easy way out and pick one of many trust fund babies we attend school with to marry and live off of interest, we dream instead of creating a retail concept together one day in the near future, where we can fill the void of good taste, european ambiance, and accessible luxury. our taste, we have decided, is far too exsquisite and quirky not to share. and we are far too stir-crazy to ever be satisfied with an "easy" life. trophy wives are so 1950's. and not in a retro- good way. in a very bad way. the world needs powerful, intelligent women with a drive to succeed. our parents are not spending their life savings on an ivy league pedigree for us to settler for someone else's money. when i was little, i dreamed of becoming a veterinarian. when gold was young, she dreamed of saving the world through environmental law. we eventually realized we can't save the world, but we can make it feel beautiful. and that's what we do best.
gold and i grew up down the street from one another. as you will see in the coming posts, our friendship runs deep, fueled by late night walks, phone conversations as the most successful mode of procrastination, and an all around complete understanding of one another.
