Hats Galore!

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

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

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

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

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!
