Rainy Daze

c- Cheese! It's been about a week since we've seen the sun in Wilmington. Though depressing, it calls for some killer pictures in the oh-so-perfect lighting!
We wanted to intertwine fall palettes with our idea of atmosphere.  Despite the fact the women featured on this blog are gorgeous, we need more male models to balance out the beauty.  That's when we decided to call the handy dandy Thomas!
He was styled by Fresh & Precious and the perfect addition to this beachy
 (or should I say moon-inspired) photoshoot.  

Sisterly love.

GAH! Talk about atmosphere. It's like this tire knew we were coming.

I am wearing a dress from Forever 21 I HAD to snag off the rack on my way to the dressing room. I immediately fell in love with the color. I have it paired with my Bakers combat boots and a shawl from a thrift store.  Michael is killin it in white suspenders and carrot pants from Topman.

Look at this huge jelly fish. So cool. We had the realization recently that Wilmington's aesthetic is extremely unique and we've been trying to capture as much of it as possible. Who else has giant jelly fish in their photoshoots? Oh, and the shoes are cool too.

Nestled on top of a sand dune at the north end of Wrightsville beach is this mail box that collects stories and notes from visitors all day long. This whimsical addition to the ocean atmosphere is yet another detail that adds to the aesthetic of our home.

These carrot pants FINALLY came in the mail from Topman

this week and I couldn't wait to get in them.

Also from Topman, this black patterned scoop neck goes

 great with these awesome boots from a market in Barcelona. 

Because we're obsessed.

Let's Give this a Shot

 Our first blog post! Hello! Michael and Courtney here. Lately we've been COMPLETELY obsessed with personal style and taking pictures of anything and everything. After visiting London this past spring, we both delved into our personal styles started expressing ourselves through clothes more than ever before. So we started a fashion blog and we are going to play around for a little while. 

Let's give this a shot. 

Right now we are digging 70s trends. 

Late summer sun has made us break out the pants and start bringing warmer, more natural color pallets to our everyday. Our color pallet today was inspired by that 70's brown. You know what I'm talking about. More specifically, we channeled a 70's safari vibe this afternoon. See hat above.

Courtney is looking foxy in her outfit today. 

Shoes: $30 at Forever 21

White Tank: $20 at American Apparel 

Vintage Trousers: $15 at Second Time Around Wilmington 

Hat: $15 at Express

These heels are chunky and another hue of that 70's brown we were talking about. 

 Michael's outfit also was inspired by vintage safari. A light, white oxford from American Apparel is a perfect addition to a summer outfit. It's cool on your body and makes your summer tan look all the better. Mustard was Michael's interpretation of the 70's brown today. 

Shirt: $35 at American Apparel 

Jeans: 29 euro at Zara

Bowtie: $20 American Apparel 

Belt: $5 at Goodwill 

Boots: $75 Topman 

Leather Backpack: 35 euro in Granada

 Our first message: EXPRESS YOURSELF. Wear what the hell you want. You look better when you're you. Our second message: You don't have to have money to have sick style. We'll try our best to prove this. And our third message....idk we'll get back to you. 

 We had a really effing good time putting this blog post together. We have a feeling that this is something we will do much more often. 

Because we're obsessed.
