Romper Addiction

This shoot was taken right in Downtown Toronto on a gorgeous rooftop terrace. It had such an amazing 360 degree view of downtown from the CN Tower to the waterfront and more. It was simply breath taking.





Elaine:
Did you know that rompers used to be only worn by boys in France during the mid 1900's? It was most popularly used by young kids to go play in however it was not popular among adults. It only started to be noted as a fashionable garment for women in 2006! Brands like Marc Jacobs, American Apparel, and more have showcased versions of rompers over the past decade. It is mainly popular due to its versatility and being easily converted from morning to evening wear.



I wore a romper with sharp cutting to make it have a more modern appeal. It was covered in cool patterns to make it stand out more. It is super comfortable and is a closet staple this summer.


Romper: Suria Sabah Boutique
Shoes: Ugg Australia





Miranda: 
I absolutely love rompers! They are comfortable yet fashionable. On my lazy days, I really don’t want to come up with a whole outfit and with rompers you can just slip it on and head out the door. They are my second love next to donuts being my first .


I love the pattern of this romper and also how the back is open and is criss-crossed. I admit it is a bit loose on me but nonetheless it is one of my favourite rompers! Since it has an open back I wore a white lace bando, which pairs nicely with the romper.
Romper: H&M
Shoes: Vans

Playing Dress Up

Elaine:
For today's shoot we took photos at my house. I love dressing up and today is all about that. Whether it is just because you are bored or just in the mood to feel like a princess, dressing up is a great stress reliever.
When I was a kid I would go into the bathroom to sing and dance to Britney Spears songs and day dream about being a superstar. I got to heighten that dream when our photographer put me in front of a fan as if I was a celebrity in a movie scene.

The earrings I am wearing are from Korea and really brings out the colour of my dress. This intricate piece adds more to the whole outfit.

This dress can be worn in multiple ways which makes it so versatile and suit all body types. Whether you want it to be a bit sexier to show more skin or to cover up more, just experiment with it, and you will bound to find something to suit you more.
Dress:Lulus
Shoes: Vintage

Miranda: 
When I was a kid I would put on my mom's dress and makeup and get all dolled up just for fun. Being a little kid, I had no idea the purpose of any of the makeup tools and I mixed up the eyebrow pencil with a crayon, I even asked my mom, "are you sure this is used on the face and not on paper?" I totally dress up now too but I wear clothes that actually fit me and I know how to apply the makeup on my face.


This is one long necklace and I wrapped it around once because I really wanted to wear a choker, however I didn't have one with me so I used what I could.



I am wearing a two-piece outfit, a crop top and a bohemian looking maxi skirt. I like how the bottom of the skirt has a vibrant pink to it giving it a pop of colour and since the skirt is high-waisted I paired it with a crop top. 
Top: Garage
Skirt: Garage
Necklace: Aldo

Polka Dot Overall Skirt

We decided to take pictures in my home which made it more relaxed. I never thought that right in my backyard I could take pictures like this.

It was a sunny and hot day so I decided to wear a lightweight and comfortable outfit which can be worn two ways or more if you keep on experimenting with it.


Overall Skirt: Cotton On Australia
Crop Top: Sears
Shoes: Vintage 


You can also wear this outfit in another way which have been one of my go-to outfits this summer since its so versatile. I just tuck the straps underneath and VIOLA its just a skirt. Since I have grown out of it, I had to wear shorts underneath to make it.. you know.. safe. I don't want people to look underneath, girls, you understand me right? 



Thank you for reading & see you next time! Let us know what else you would like to see and we will get back to you. Happy FRIDAY folks!

The Start Up of Bow N' Arrow

Hello world! Let us introduce ourselves. We are the Bow N' Arrow and by "we", we mean two best friends that came together to make a fun blog about our lives. I know, who actually cares about our lives right?

Well, the Bow N' Arrow showcases our individual sense of fashion, our lifestyles and how two very different people can come together targeting different audiences. 

Who are the Bow N' Arrow you may ask?

I am Miranda, the shyer and quieter one and am a little bit of an awkward turtle at first, but once you get to know me I am this fun and energetic person who is an eccentric or people have told me...a bad joke teller. 

Currently, I am in university studying business and am excited to see where this journey takes us.





Hello guys! I am Elaine. who can be a little too energetic sometimes. I laugh at almost anything and think that there is no such thing as "discretion is advised". 

I went to Malaysia for a year and a bit to take a break from regular school to go experience something out of the ordinary. I travelled across Asia and learned more about international business and got to see that there is a whole other world outside Canada. 


Now, we want to tell you how we met... it was grade 9 orientation and we were lining up to go into the cafeteria when Elaine seemed to appear out of nowhere and introduced herself to Miranda. From that moment onwards, everything seemed to go by so fast.
From boys, to university, and to travelling half way across the world, nothing seemed to separate us. We would always catch up from where we left off and fill each other in on the things that was happening in our lives. In September, it will be six years as best friends! 

Hope you are excited to come with us on this journey and to see us grow every step of the way!
