104

Salut!

You can probably tell that we have recently been obsessed with taking pictures outside and in our backyard playing with the lighting. Today we snapped a few quick pics between our tedious job hunting...we feel like nowhere is hiring- especially just for a summer job. Not to mention, today was the first day over 100 in June...it was 104.

Obsession du Jour:

This is one of the many collages Em has created. We loved all their outifts and how they were put togheter. We thought that each outfit indivdually captured casual chic elements and perfectly combined them with chunky layers to create a look that is the ultimate effortless summer ensemble.

Summer Lovin'

Salut!

Lately I've really been wanting to experiment with taking pictures, which is why most of the photos include just sof. I guess you can say that I am enjoying more of the "behind the scene" work as of right now. We decided to incorporate more graphic color, seeing as we have been using more desert scenery, with the drastic, green grass backdrop. The dogs were playing around outside and decided they wanted to take part in the pictures. They definately added a demension of liveliness and kept us entertained! Below is a collage I created of images that inspired me. I found the clothing, photographs and captured moments (simple, yet intriguing) to perfectly exude the essence of life in the city. All together I felt the collage caught an element of 90's grunge and one of sof's and my favorite designers, Alexander Wang. I love his high fashion designs that give off an effortless, chic and edgy style; a modern twist on the casual classics.

We took these pics before dinner and a movie...sorry the quality isn't the greatest, we didn't have much time! We decided we should definitely include our dogs again...they were a little hyper so it was hard to capture a good pic..hence us making silly faces/laughing while trying to hold them.

Em opted once again to be solely behind the camera today. I just got my hair done...decided to lighten it up a little for summer...I can never make up my mind on a color. For the obsession du jour, Em has been busy creating inspiring and alluring collages.

On Top of the World

Salut!

shirt- thrifted, vest- Pitaya, skirt- Hollister, shoes- Steve Madden







dress and vest- Zara, shirt- Urban Outfitters, shoes- Topshop

These pictures were taken at a spot called "the end of the world" because as you drive through the winding, mountain roads, you ascend this one hill and it appears as if you are going to fall off the face of the earth! Needless to say, you do not, but there is a breath taking view of the city, which we thought would be the perfect place to experiment with our pics for today. Sofie's shirt was actually our little brother,Luke's, old shirt that he didn't want anymore...just thought we'd give him a shout out on the blog.

i'm gonna soak up the sun

Salut!

Today I was feeling inspired to just strictly stay behind the lens and play with the scenery around our neighborhood. Sof and I thought the lighting, barren, desert landscape, and solitary, yet prominant tree acted as the perfect setting. We had fun trying to capture different shots than we are usually use to and thought the end product turned out interesting and playful. We're hoping the dramatic shadows, glowing, natural lighting, and new angles/perspectives put a fresh spin on an ordinary set of photos. We both have lately been influenced by the Kings of Leon's latest album: Only by the Night, which inspired today's look. The catchy tunes and their revolutionary take on rock music leaves you wanting more and wondering what they have left up those sleeves of theirs. With each CD they exceed my expectations, and this one definately tops them all off. I'm excited to say that they will be headlining this October at the Austin City Limits Festival. I for sure will not be passing up that opportunity!

Em was in the photography mode, so she decided to take a copious amount of pictures of me. We had a little fun with it...trying to imitate the Erin Wasson hair flip. We are both home now for the summer so hopefully we will begin to regularly post again.

Obsession du Jour: China Glaze Turquoise nail polish. We love this color...it's so vibrant, quirky and summery at the same time.

Make Up

Salut!

I know I have lacking in the posting recently, so I thought in order to make up for it, I would post some collages and photo spreads that inspire me.

This dress is amazing..pics from Jak&Jil and here is the link to the webstore.








I really like the use of chains, studs, jewels in these photos...and not to mention the beach in the background.
