Black vs White

2010-02-28T20:11:00.004-05:00

We finally interpreted a shoot in the snow! We've been avoiding the coldness and trying to escape to somewhere warmer in our minds, but it's starting to melt away. This weekend is supposed to be gorgeous and warm :)
Anyway, Sofi and I decided to incorporate blacks and whites again like our last shoot. She is wearing a jacket from an Urban sale, black cords, and a black shawl from her dress up box. I am wearing an oversized white T (thrifted), white ruffle skirt from Zara, and another shawl from Sofi's dress up box. Texture and contrast were a key in this shoot and we hope you enjoy!!

Textures

2010-01-31T17:59:00.002-05:00

Today Tati and I went out to take some pictures, and the sunny weather seemed to be hinting that Spring is on the way!(even though it's still super cold!)

Tati wore a Kiminchi Blu coat from Urban (I bought it on sale for only $20!) and some awesome textured tights with black heels.

I am wearing my Forever 21 buttoned jacket (a resent acquisition that i love!) over Tati's black lacy dress that she's had forever + my Converse. Sorry we've been bad about posting! We did three shoots today and will parcel them out over the week to make it up you you.

Hope you enjoyed!

Hey everyone! For 2010 Sofi and I would like to thank everyone who has followed us and commented! It means so much you have no idea! Today while we were rumbling through my moms closet we found this black skirt with flowers and thought that we had to do a post with it today! We wanted to show some different ways to wear skirts in general. I (Tati) am wearing the skirt over a lace dress which has a lot of ruffling, creating a nice volume and an added belt to the waist. As for Sofi she is wearing it as a dress also belted at the waist, and added layers of vintage jewlery and pearls, a bomber jacket, and canvas sneakers to create an elegant rocker look.
Enjoy!
Make sure to check out Tati's new contest on Sticky Note!

Hope you all liked the pictures and have a great weekend! We'll be sure to post next weekend again

Today we had a surprise snow and to top it all off it is New Years Eve! Sofi and Camille came over to my house and we took some pictures out in the snow. We don't exactly have a theme but we put together some creative outfits. We liked the contrast between white and red.
Hope you Enjoy!

Have a Happy New Year!

Pervious Fall Adventures: Camille's Shoot

2009-12-30T13:11:00.004-05:00

Sorry for not posting for a while! Sofi and I have both been away during this winter break but I decided to post some pictures from during the fall when we took pictures of Sofi's sister Camille. We will have a post of the both of us super soon!
Enjoy!

This last picture I edited on Photoshop. I added a rainbow into her hair at the bottom and a lense flair. Sometimes I like to play around with one or two of the pictures that I take.
Happy New Years everyone!
We will post one with the two of us soon!

Hats Galore!

2009-12-11T23:30:00.001-05:00

Sofi's mom showed us these hats from her basement that belonged to her grandmother and we decided we had to share them with you! You may see them incorporated into another outfit soon. We actually took these pictures awhile ago...Hope you like them!

I like these two (above) the best. For some reason Tati's camera always makes a lot of sun-spots but I love the way it looks!

First Snow of Winter

2009-12-06T16:38:00.009-05:00

It snowed yesterday!! Most of it melted by the time we did this shoot but it was so pretty when it was snowing. (Its hard to believe last weekend we were trekking through the woods in 72 degree weather!)After this light dusting winter has finally hit and it is about 32 degrees F(0 C) so we are getting out the winter hats and mittens. Hopefully we will do more snow posts in the future, maybe even while the snow is coming down! Cam guest starred in this again.

Well, hope you enjoy!

thanks for all your support

comment if you like!
Hopefully after this, we are going to go back to more vintage stuff because we have have been straying from that a bit. BYEE:)

Suburban Outfitters

2009-11-29T16:06:00.013-05:00

Is it obvious that we took these pictures in a housing development? Get the title?... Anyway today Tati and I (and my sister Cami) treked through the woods behind the new development near our houses. We were going for a somewhat casual look and I had my camera because not only does it take great pictures but it looks very cool:). When we walked past the three story- identical houses, we found parts of the original estate that occupied the 30 acres of fields and trees. (As I write this Tati is having a laugh attack for no apparernt reason...) We found the remains of a pool and a pet graveyard and a springhouse. The seting was so beautiful and we got a bit carried away with the amount of pictures we took but I hope you like them all.

(I really have to say i am in love with my shoes -Tati)

I am wearing a jacket I found in my attic, a tee- shirt and jeans from dELiAs and my new shoes from Urban, a bracelet that was a gift and there is a LONG story behind the necalace. (Shortened- I won it at the NBC 10 news station...) Tati wore an H&M Shirt, high-wasted shorts from Nordstom rack and shoes from Urban (she intends to return them after this shoot.) and a cardigan from a J. Crew sale. We really hope you enjoyed:D

Post Post:

The story of the necklace

By Sofia

As a young sprout, I went to the NBC 10 news station with my class on a field trip at the end of my eighth grade year. It was a few days before the movie "Confessions of a Shopaholic" cam out. As soon as we walked into the building, past the metal detectors a woman asked if there were any volunteers for a special surprise. Naturally, since volunteering for mystery tasks is my favorite, my hand shot into the air and I held it straight up and looked right at the woman. "You," She pointed at Brinana, "and...you" (I am the second you if you hadn't figured that out by now) Then the tech people gave us earpieces and little microphones and took us outside to two huge blocks of ice with mall gift card inside. Apparently we were going to be doing a promotional thingy where we had to get the card out of the ice (like the woman in the movie does with her credit card.) Oh yeah, and we were armed with a hairdryer and a shoe. An hour later (after being on national television as the little box in the corner!!) they gave us very nice necklaces as prizes (and the mall gift cards)There you have it:) hope it wasn't too ranty.

P.s. I later saw the same necklace in Nordstrom and it was 150 dollars!!!Yay for free stuff!

Simple but Bold

2009-11-26T17:04:00.000-05:00

It was too cold and rainy to do an outdoor shoot today so Tati and I took things inside. I actually think this outfit suits the indoors well. It reminds me of some fancy cocktail party from twenty years ago. The dress, shoes, and earings actually belong to Tati's other friend Sofia and I just LOVE them!:) We agreed about how simple the dress was but the simplicity is what makes it perfect. We liked how the big earrings and shoes complement it nicely. Enjoy:)
oh! And don't forget to check out the post just before this, Suburban Outfitters. I think Tati and I took some beautiful pictures:)

-^..^-

p.s. If my lips seem pursed in some of the pictures, its probably because the shoes were about two sizes to small and standing in heels is hard enough as it is! Oh well...

Finds from the Past

2009-11-22T21:05:00.008-05:00

Hello everyone!
Today was a beautiful, warm day, which could not be taken for granted. All last week was gray and rainy, and when I (Tati) woke up today I was so happy to finally see the sun. Anyway today I biked over to Sofi's house and we went up to her attic to find some vintage things of her moms. We ended up finding two printed skirts and made them more modern for fashion today. Sofi and I both made our skirts into bohemian dress with small accent accessories. I added a gemed belt while sofi added a rope belt and a charming necklace. Enjoy!- Tati
I (sofi)was so happy the way these photos came out! In my outfit, the skirt and boots were from my attic, the nekalace- and great shop on south street called eyes galery and and belt... Good ole' tjmaxx. Tati had on another skirt from the atic that she wore as a cardigan, a hand-me- down dress I had and a belt from a thrift store. I was a more classic "hippie" while Tati had modernized herself a bit. Hope you like the pictures! ~Sofi

These two pictures below are the in the making pictures. Just some little funny bloopers we wanted to share with you. Let's just say walking down dirt slopes in wedges is not all to easy.

I hope you liked all of the pictures from today!

Alice in Wonderland

2009-11-15T17:04:00.007-05:00

This weekend Sofi and I (Tati) invited our guest star Camille to be in our Alice and Wonderland photoshoot. We were inspired by the Alice and Wonderland spread in Vogue Magazine and decided to recreate it with our own little twist. Camille was the Mad Hatter, Sofi was Alice, and I (Tati) was the queen of hearts.

***
After we came up with these fabulous costumes we didn't know where we could take the pictures since the sun was setting on us (again). Then when we walked outside, I (Sofia this time) looked up at the weather vane on Tati's roof and said: "up there!"
Cami and Tati gave each other skeptical looks but they let me climb up there anyway. It was worth it I think!
Hope you all enjoy!

Thanks for looking! Feel free to comment and thank you so much for all your support!

Sunsets and Lace

2009-11-11T22:11:00.002-05:00

Today I (Tati) was behind the camera taking some shots of Sofi. We decided to go back into the woods and take some texture shots and experiment with lighting. I love how these came out and so did Sofi. I hope you like them too! Enjoy!

She is wearing a hand-me-down skirt (as a dress) that's from Free People (free), the scarf is the same one from the last shoot from American Eagle (it was well worth the $4.95 price tag!), the necklace was her Grandmother's (inheritance). And the doll was from her Great- Aunt (gift). The idea that she came up with at 11:oo at night and had to jump out of bed to try out : priceless.

* * *

Below is a picture I liked that Sofi took of me while we were shooting. I thought the angling was kinda cool!

I hope you all enjoyed!
We will be posting soon! please comment =]

Race With the Sun

2009-11-08T15:38:00.000-05:00

On Friday, we really had to race with the sun which kept setting during our photo shoot! Even though we only had about 10 minutes to take pictures, they came out great, and the sun being so low was perfect for the vintage theme. For some reason the pictures seem a bit grainy on the blog but if you want to see them in better quality, just click on them to see them enlarged.

We found some great vintage suitcases in Sofia's basement the other day and thought they would look great in a photo shoot. We were going for two different looks. Tati was the more 1920's and 30's while Sofia was dressed as an equestrian rider. It was sooo fun to do this shoot! Anyway, In Tati's outfit the shirt-dress was from Forever 21, hat- yard sale, fake fur- H&M, Boots- Vintage from Germany(mom's). Sofia's outfit was: Jacket- Urban Outfitters sale (love those sales!), Shirt- H&m but thrifted :), Watch neckalace- Urban, gift, scarf- American Eagle sale, boots- Tati's moms, Top Hat- Tati's dad got married in it, we don't know where it's from.
Hope you enjoyed the pictures! Feel free to comment and follow!
XX, Tati
