MOTO SHOP + MOTO X PURE EDITION GIVEAWAY

Last week, I stopped by the new Moto Shop (108 North State) in Chicago before its grand opening and got to play around with all the fun new gadgets Motorola has to offer. From the photo b,ooth that showed off the Moto X Pure Edition's awesome camera, to the drinks, food, and their insane Moto 360 watches (Christmas gift, anyone?), my husband and I had a ton of fun! Motorola is all about self-expression, and I love how easy it is to design a phone that reflects your personal style. Rather than having to stick to a phone case, you can customize your phone any way you'd like. All Chicagoans should check out the shop in Block 37, and pop by to get in on the action. Even some famous Chicagoans got in on the action - hello, G&B!

But, that's not even the best part - we're sharing the fun with one lucky winner!

We've teamed up with Motorola to give away a brand new Moto X Pure Edition, so you can get a first hand look at how awesome this phone is. And entry is insanely simple!

1. Follow @jessandjill, @jessografia, and @jillbadlotto on Instagram (we will check for confirmation!)

2. And simply enter below!

Contest ends November 19th and we will contact the winner via Instagram.

Holidays can put you in a crazy daze.

PARTY ORGANICALLY WITH VITAFRUTE COCKTAILS

For us, our favorite kind of summer bash is a girls day in filled with pop music, lots of laughs, girl talk, and most importantly, yummy drinks. Summer is meant for easy and hassle-free living, and this is exactly how we like our drinks, and that's what VitaFrute Cocktails is all about. So of course they'd make a necessary appearance at our summer bash.

VitaFrute are ready to drink cocktails made by VEEV. With only 125 calories in each drink and organic, all-natural ingredients, it's guiltless without sacrificing yumminess. And their newest flavor, Coconut Colada, is incredibly refreshing. Made with coconut water (so it's totally hydrating) and free of fat and cholesterol, it's a ton of ah-mazingness in a glass. VitaFrute Cocktails are the perfect accessory for any summer bash in the sun (and we may or may not be drinking them with out heat up in the wintertime.)

Since you know we like to share everything together, we created our own unique cocktails by taking a bit from each other's. Jess filled her glass with VitaFrute's Lemonade flavor, adding a splash of VitaFrute's Cosmopolitan flavor, while Jill filled her glass with VitaFrute's Cosmopolitan, and added a splash of VitaFrute's Lemonade. We both topped our drinks off with fresh fruit and basil sugar to Jess's and acai sugar to Jill's. They didn't last a second longer after these pictures!

And to celebrate summer, VEEV is giving one lucky Pinterest user their own ultimate bash - which will probably be way cooler than our girls day in. Pin your favorite summer party tips for your chance to win the ultimate summer party, and fill out the form that can be found here. And then make sure our invite is the first one sent.

Make sure you follow VEEV on Twitter, Facebook, Pinterest, and Instagram for all the latest news on their killer products!

WHO'S YOUR BELLE? + HENRY & BELLE GIVEAWAY

Henry & Belle, a denim brand with the perfect balance of fit, fashion, and philanthropy, started and continues to be based on love. In 1931, a young designer named Henry Mann met a fitting model named Belle, and quickly fell in love and married. She became his muse that inspired him for every collection, as she gave her insight on fit, movement, and feel... A story that puts all Disney movies to shame.

We've got a lot of love for the Belles in our life, and a whole lot of love for these jeans. The second we tried them on, we both looked at each other as if we had fallen in love for the first time ever. We just knew this brand was the one. From the stretch (without ever stretching out) to the inseam to the rise, they are perfect.

And it got us thinking while we were posing for our photo shoot. Outside of our love/borderline obsession for our new pairs of jeans, who are the Belles in our life?

• • •

The Belles in my life are my mother and sister. They are two strong, independent women that have no limits to what they want from life. I talk to my mother every day just to chat, gossip, and ask for advice. She makes me feel stronger every day as a woman and always looks at everything in a positive light. She always let me be the hyper, creative kid that I still am today! (Can you imagine me any different?!) 

My sister is my absolute best friend - I never laugh like I do when I'm with her! She's an amazing mother and successful woman, and will always be my inspiration. And it's always nice to have someone you can have sister-ly arguments with and just hug it out afterward like nothing happened. - Jess

Jess is wearing Henry & Belle Super Skinny Ankle in Onyx (c/o), Forever 21 top and poncho, GUESS boots, handbag from Target, Warby Parker glasses and sunnies, and jewelry from GUESS, Love and Pieces, Kate Spade, and Serefina.

• • •

I am lucky enough to have two Belles in my life, my Momma and my late friend, Nikayla. My mom has always been my best friend and a huge supporter in all of my goals. My days aren't complete until we've conversed! Plus nobody can make me laugh like she can - everything she says in her Brooklyn accent is golden.

I am also extremely grateful to have had a friend like Nikayla, and even though her physical presence is absent, she continues to inspire me everyday. Just the thought of her laugh gets me through a bumpy road, and I wouldn't be where I am today if it wasn't for her. - Jill

Jill is wearing Henry & Belle Coated Super Skinny Ankle in Royal Navy (c/o), 3.1 Phillip Lim for Target sweater, Theory blouse, Boutique 9 shoes, and sunglasses c/o Skirt PR.

Finally, the both of us in a photo!

You didn't have to just stare at using wearing our pairs of Henry & Belle denim - you can get in on the love, too. Enter to win a free pair of their Signature Super Skinny with Zipper in Spruce below, and grab additional entries by following/liking us and Henry & Belle on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram.  And go all out with a comment on this post telling us who your Belle is (idol, hero, most influential woman in your life, etc.) for some major extra points!
