THESTYLISTED + PHOTO SHOOT & BEHIND THE SCENES VIDEO

TheStylisted is an online platform that lets you book in-home hair styling and makeup applications from a network of freelance artists, and a few weeks ago, we got to try it out. Where was this when we went to the ball?!

Perfect for brides and bridesmaids, a photo shoot, a hot date night, or just because - it's easy and simple to set up your appointment with the perfect artist. (And it's created and run by ladies of the University of Chicago Booth, so we can't hate on that.)

Just sign up for your free account, choose what service, date, and the time you'd like, and you'll instantly find artists that are your perfect match. And each one has a profile with services, pricing, images, and a rating.

Our makeup was done courtesy of Mona Coman, who we loved!

Jess wore a Marciano top, leggings c/o Spanx, DV by Dolce Vita wedges, and jewelry from GUESS and Love and Pieces. Jill wore Forever 21 shorts, Pandora jewelry, and Intermix heels.

And here's a peek at what happens on a normal Jess and Jill day.

BRUNCH AT PUBLIC HOUSE

Public House (400 N. State St.) invited us to celebrate the best meal of the day... Brunch!

In late June, Corporate Chef David Blonsky created this new, yummy menu that includes a Homemade Twinkie, Chicken and Waffles, and Queso Fundido Egg Burrito. Go ahead, make that reservation.

View from our table.

If you haven't been there yet, Public House is a gastropub with 103 different types of beer in house, 23 beers on tap, a house brew that is designed and brewed by Goose Island, and table tap booths with beer and liquor. Looks like a trip back for lunch or dinner is needed!

We started off with a Blood Orange Mimosa (blood orange puree, sparkling wine) and tea. Jess had the Doughnut Fried French Toast (vanilla bourbon cream, seasonal market jam) and Jill had the Egg Sandwich (eggs any way, big fork bacon-sausage, American cheese, English muffin). Both were delicious, filling, and we were both picking off each other's plates.

JESS'S WEEKEND TRIP TO NJ AND NY

Last month, I went to New Jersey with my boyfriend and my parents to celebrate my cousin's wedding. It was so nice seeing family I haven't seen in years all in one place (we're seriously all over - FL, NJ, NY, and Canada) and introduce everyone to my boyfriend!

And what would a trip to New Jersey be without a stop in New York? The following day I took the train in and wore my camera around my neck like a proud tourist!

For the wedding, I wore a Trouvé dress and Search for Sanity tweed jacket from Nordstrom, Sole Society heels, bebe enamel clutch, and jewelry from GUESS, Pandora, Swarovski, and The Left Bank.

The day after the wedding, I headed to New York with my boyfriend and my parents. We took the train to WTC, walked to Greenwich Village, cabbed it to Central Park, and then walked down to the Empire State Building to take the train back to New Jersey. Needless to say my feet were killing me, but the weather couldn't be more perfect, and it was a beautiful day filled with walking and talking with some of the most important people in my life. And I got a slice of NY pizza - trip complete!

My boyfriend works in finance, so this was an obvious stop!

Sorry Chicago, but NY pizza is better.

For my day in NY, I wore a Nasty Gal oversized knit, GUESS denim and loafers, and a Marc by Marc Jacobs Natasha crossbody.

GUESS in the city!

Until next time, New York!
